I agree. But the new groundsman's only had a couple of months on it. Hopefully with a summer's rest and a bit more work it should be in good enough nick for next season.Quote:

Well done to all the lads at Rineanna. Good match (considering the wind)
The chap who now looks after the county Grounds should be brought out and knighted. I could not believe the pitch was playable after all the rain that fell yesterday morning. I would have put my house on the game being moved to Cassidy Park or Mc Donagh Park.
Great to see the league are putting money into the Ground. Fair Plate to Jim Madden. Until next Year Gentlemen
Take it easy - and if your getting it easy - - - - Take it Again !
ouch :D: must be a couple of hundred gallons of red paint nowQuote:

And Devilfish! The red paint will hold too. We will get to splash it one day.:DOne day I said:D
Bye for now
Ya dissapointing for the lifford lads alright,they gave a great account of themselves and should be proud of their efforts! congatulations to rinneana, they played some good stuff at times yesterday and probably shaded it! lifford conceded 3 goals from set pieces, lifford bs 1st goal was the goal of the match with adrian mcdonagh turning 2 defenders and slipped eddie killeen in and he lifted the ball over the keeper to equalise! Anyway sure it wasnt to be.......maybe next year lifford will go 1 better
In fairness to Rineanna they were easily better team yesterday and deserved their win. It must have been a close call between Jocks and Steven Kelly for Man Of The Match.
The 'sore loser' attitude came out in some of Lifford's players yesterday, ie. a Rineanna player was genuinely down injured when they were up 2-1, Lifford had the ball and when one of their players put it out he was given an amount of abuse for not playing on. Then after the final whistle about four Lifford players went to the dressing rooms and had to be coaxed into going back on the pitch for the presentation by their manager. Then to show the club's true colours, just before Rineanna were being handed the cup all of the Lifford squad went to the dressing room bar one player and the manager.
Is it true that the reason Marty O'Regan didn't play because Doora/Barefield were playing the following day in the hurling?
seems lifford have lost their copy of code of ethics from clare league .. see example belowQuote:

congrats to rineanna and to lifford don't be bitter in defeat :ball:
Well done to Banana Rovers. Very deserving winners on the day. Funny after all the talk of the hurlers not being there they scored the 3 goals.
Credit also to Lifford B for makiong a decent game of it. They play a very nice brand of football (although seemed to overplay it in the last 10 when they needed the ball at the other end of the field)
I imagine the celebrations are on going.
Lifford B will get their revenge against Rineanna next year in the 1st Div!
a bit ahead of yourself as rineanna still in preimer league at the moment and would fancy them to beat mountshannon in the playoff :pQuote:

i remember we were `playing newmarket in the league decider and one of their players got injured. ball was in newmarket half when play was stopped.
when the ref dropped the ball the newmarket player kicked the ball into touch near our corner flag. i was non too pleased... but on reflection the newmarket players did what was necessary to get a result.... sporting or not
Will the Clare area cup final go ahead in Tulla on wed evening?very bad weather we are having..
congradulations to bunratty Rock avenue B and Newmarket B on triumphs in their respective leagues. Rineanna for their cup Win. looking forward to the football next season as for now http://foot.ie/forums/images/icons/icon14.gifhttp://foot.ie/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Great coverage in the Clare People today - highly recommend a read if not for the interviews alone - Ryan is a legend
The highlight has to be Babs breaking into song shortly after Jason was presented the cup...Quote:

Lifford seem to recieve an awful lot of bulls..t reports at games and the truth never seems to come out! Anyway best of luck to rineanna in their playoff and looking forward to playing wat i thought was a very good rineanna side next year in the premier!

I wasn't criticising Lifford for putting the ball out mastermind, I was saying their was no need for one of the Lifford strikers to eat the head off the player who was just being sporting by putting the ball out.Quote:

Surely that's not the Lifford A keeper you have there?Quote:

The red card was one of the highlights of the game.
Heard a rumour that Davy McCarthy is on his way to Rock, any truth in this mastermind1?
Well done again to the Rovers on a great season.
Highlight of the game last night was the half time show provided by Planners. Very entertaining. It was like watching an episode of "Reeling in the Years":D
