that old chestnut..clare league has improved its facilities greatly over the past few years. Most of the premier teams try to play good football now, the days of kicking a team off the park are long gone. Limerick Premier is still ahead in terms of more quality teams but the better teams in clare are catching up. One thing thats for certain is that Clare Premier is a better standard than 1a in Limerick.Quote:

Maybe thats why 90% of players in Shannon today wouldn't dream of playing for your club.Then again maybe you're too good for the clare league and have found your level in 1a...soon to be 1b.
Personally i dont see any problem with playing in either league..it just boils down to where you feel most comfortable playing and most importantly what club you want to play for. I know there is a train of thought that says limerick league is better than the clare league and they are all muckers...but those days are over from what i understand...i dont think its healthy to get into slagging off each others leagues i gives no benfit to anyone.
Regardless of any divison outside the top tier in either league your going to play on bad pitch's with bad referee's and and against someone who gets great pleasure in kicking you up and down the field....thats life.
the best players still play football and come out on top.
we have all been playing long enough now .. to accept bad pitches / bad refs/ and players who just want to kick u up & down the pitch .. just get on with playing football & kick them back . its all part of the game and the limerick / clare league who's better debate will still be going on when ye have all hung up your boots and are drinking pints in the knights / lodge or crossroads :DQuote:

More than two or three of theyre players play gaa. most of them play with clonlara gaa and one or two with smith obriens. i dont no theyre names but i know them because ive played gaa against them and i have umpired matches where they have been involved. well the lads must have been lying so. seeing as you have played in limerick and been to all these places to play then you should no. have you ever been to bruff.Quote:

Question for ya old git. when you were playing on all them wonderful sides with newtown and i hear you still kick a ball. what was the relationship between manager and player back then like honestly i dont think much of it exists anymore.
Have to disagree here. I've worked with Donal for a few years and cant know how you can say this. :confused:Quote:

does that make you feel like a great manager making comments like that. it just goes a long way to explain why people dont seem to bother following soccer in shannon and also why young lads dont want to play with people like the you involved. also your a crap manager and basis of a good team rooted to the bottom of the premier. which you have also never played in
Prob none of my business but I find your comments to Hacker interesting considering this is how ye stand at the moment. Pots, Kettles and the colour Black come to mind.

thats how it stands at the moment. but we have three players to come in for next week. woodsie brendan mc keogh and richie murphy so hopefully we will go down fighting. my comments to hacker were made because i believe that we all go playing on a sunday cause we love it we got so much to lose and f all to gain and when somebody turns around and starts slagging players when he is a manager is wrong. now im still a young lad so why does he want to comment like that. i may not be the good player but i do love playing. i know plenty of young lads in town who dont bother playing because they are sick of people like him involved who never good players and hold personal grudges.
do you think that you wil have enought with these players to stay up. I heard you lost one player to carew ?Quote:

I signed for the B team because I didn't think you would play me. I want to be a good player and with Tony macs help i think i can be a good player. as for not playing in clare premier how does limerick premier sound.Quote:

Jesus, Parkfan, you're very brave coming in here and slating the likes of Donal and Hacker. I wonder if you'd have the nuts to say it to their faces like a real man but fair enough you're only a kid and by God do us all a favour and get rid of those sour grapes or you'll end up a very bitter person...Donal has given an awful lot to the clubs he has worked for and is the most organised and thorough coach I've ever worked with. Fair enough, he talks a bit more than he should but the game needs characters like him. Hacker has done some splendid work in Shannon and it's strange hearing you calling him a useless manager when there are 18 players trying their hearts out for him each week....a lesser bunch of lads would walk away and join other clubs and take the easy option....that's my impartial view...best of luck for the season with Park...terrible to see them in the situation they are in...
justa question, who would have the best facilites in shannon , how would you rate them in terms of pitches / dressingrooms ( home and way etc)/
