Yeah thats the way the cookie crumbles, i would agree with that IF Moher had to play games on a sunday also. Its not fair on any other club that Moher get preferential treatment becaue they have a few Gaa heads in their team.

ok so only 1 kieran kissane would be a good addation
who would you take out of current newtown team to fit in these players ( thanks for the compliment about me being a good player you must know me really well )::p :p
Every year Moher seem to request matches on Mondays and Fridays evenings because of GAA games. It also suits the Clare league cos there is a shortage of refs. You cant blame Moher for requesting games when it suits them.
If the fixture doesnt suit your club then im sure you can request it to be played on Sunday or another evening. In fairness too far away from Shannon for an evening game at 6.30.

Ya you can request it alright but you will be told where to go.Who are you to say wether its too far away or not.Do you know what time all the olympic players work until?????:rolleyes:Quote:

I would imagine it will be into May before any area finals are played. There are some shield finals still to be played too.Quote:

where is all the talk gone of newtown lifting the title this year? built them up too early again did ye ;)
It has been a disappointing week for Newtown, Newmarket away is never an easy game despite Newmarket struggling,a local derby n all that.Newtown had enough chances to win the game but failed to take them. Bridge Celtic was a diferrent story as i heard from the Newtown lads Bridge outplayed and were physically bigger than Newtown. Same ol story again from the Moubnshannon game in midweek, Newtown should have won the game quite easily in the end but again didnt take their chances and Mounshannon left with a point. Newtown have hit a bad patch at the wrong time in the season, maybe lacking in confidence and seem a bit short of goals, apart from Cheeky and Ray Quigley. Hopefully they can regroup over the OT break and make a good final push for the league and cup.
first off, the 'soft goal' mix up describes the first goal Avenue scored.Quote:

Russell scored the winner with 2 mins left, keeper should have never been lobbed but it was just one of those looping efforts that seem to come off the rare time. Keeper played very well apart from that. THEN it was Avenue defending like crazy, we had an injury time effort to get a draw but it went wide, 3 points was always the objecive.
RE MOHER; they have lost two games out of 14 (see below)

Cousin Syl, should that be Ennistymon 3-1 Newmarket B, that was the fixture down anyway.
Do you know where to get accurate league tables. I presume the tables in the Champion are provided by Lydon, ya?
I noticed that in the fixtures but from what I saw in Lee's rd it was Lifford. Could be wrong though.Quote:

obviously u were playing then, i was watching.easier to comment on a game seein it on the line an not running around .... bit biased but not to worry,,
yer man consie didnt touch the ball till it was on the line , it ran straite thru from inside yer half from kelly hanoo an centre back mix up straite thru em..
any way game over, 3 points. were 2nd i belive at the moment even if the clare people dont include us in the league at the moment..
might be easier to watch a game when not playing in it, but that doesn't stop me commenting on the game:p ..... But i will say that if a neutral was watching it, it would have been an entertaining game to look at, or would you disagree? Still doesn't ease the hurt of losing a close match though!:(Quote:

Avenue currently 3rd in league, according to clareleague.com & a2zsoccer.com

Why isnt there a Jumior league website just look at this for exampleQuote:

So the conclusion is
We must play matches on St Patricks Day.
Does anyone know why??
But it is ok to suspend the premier league because of Oscar Traynor
I would like to thank the Clare League for this enlightened and wise decision.This is great encouragement to kids to stay in the game.

I thought this decision was overturned Shels? So are the Newtown U17s definately out of the cup? Pity as i'm sure yee beat the same opposition 7-0 not too long ago......
you must have some crystal ball to match that big pair of blinkers you are wearing:eek: I wont try to explain that the posts about Newtown winning trophies were not made by Newtown players/managment, cause its obvious that explaining anything to you would take a lot longer than I have the time for. And I wont call you an anti Newtown and bitter cause thats obvious too;)Quote:

everyone is entitled to their own opinions thats why it is a forum thread,, as papa-j & other's have said numerous times it was never nobody from newtown going on about winning leagues.. i think newtown have lost their chance of winning league after last couple of results & may even miss out on cup as well as team seems to be out of form at the moment.. but again thats my opinion :ball: :ball:Quote:

I'll predict that
Newmarket, Mountshannon, Newtown and Avenue for the semi finals.
Rineanna have home advantage over Avenue so I think that it might be close but Avenue are in good form at the moment.
Newmarket and Newtown should be too strong for the two B teams.
Home advantage could be the key for Mountshannon against Moher.
Anyone else think any different?
Avenue - Rineanna match has been posponed to a later date. Not sure exactly why, but must be OT/CL driven. Are the other quarters going ahead or not?Quote:
