Clare League 2013/14

LegendStriker10 to say I have slated NOF facilities Id say is a bit over the top, I complained about the back FIELD only if you read the post!, and Id say if you asked, most people would agree the field is in terrible shape and should not be played on. You also tell me that most of the NOF players are on the OT team well fair play to them :confused:

Old git I agree totally with you that we should refuse to play on astro but that is something all teams would need to do together and not leave one team hanging. Its sad to it but the only way games will be stopped is when the first big claim goes in by an injured player and then you will see the council pull the plug very fast on the games.

" I complained about the back FIELD only if you read the post!, and Id say if you asked, most people would agree the field is in terrible shape and should not be played on".

Have you seen the majority of fields in the clare league ??

If you read my post I said this because you implied our footballing ability is not up to the standard of Avenue . I would be inclined to go with the same opinion as the Clare Oscar Traynor manager and disagree with you on this .

There is alot of speed in new markets front play whereas avenue like to run and pass about the ball thats their main threat so on a bad pitch the advantage is with new market..

lads its swings and roundabouts
when avenue lads ,ex or present, were over the OT team there was 6,7,8 players on the team going back thru the years
why should it be any different now when newmarket lads are over it,,
newmarket and avenue have won the league and cups most in the last 10 years so it stands to reason they represent the majority of the squad
and no! this isnt an elitist statement excluding the rest of the clubs and good players deemed worthy of a place on the squad

avenue c disagree with you on the avenue link Past OT squads there was a time when 6 /7/ 8 would be named in squads but only 2-3 would turn up for training games a few of the players were more intrested in training /playing with Avenue and not worried about representing their county .. will add a few other players / clubs also seemed to worry more about club than county over the years

Whats with the 10am kick off in avenue v ennis town match and the 2 or 4pm kick off in kildysart

old git, yes you are right there i'll give you that
its happened with most squads down thru the years alright

Presume the 10 am kick off is to suit the referee, he is also down to do a game in lees rd at 12 o clock. A bit of rush rush if you ask me. If theres any injuries/delays in avenue v ennis town the ref will not have time to get across town to lees rd for the 12 o clock start in his other game which will be very unfair for the 2 other teams

Yeah 4 o clock is pushing it especially if it's a dark wet evening as is likely.

Any report on ave v rock today

Good win for the tage today they are goin well

Clare v Kerry in the Oscar Traynor semis. Any idea of a date? Will be another tough away trip for Clare. Poor enough game in Roslevan yesterday and 2 needless red cards for Avenue. Thought the referee Hennessey did well

League looks wide open. Should be good once it gets going soon!

2 needless reds alright but a game Avenue really should have won with ease. The 2 reds cost us but even when we had 10 men we were well on top and without yer keeper playing great would have been 3 or 4 nil. Anyway its good to be back playing, hopefully this time the season finally takes off.

Bridge will have a big say in the league still, as will newmarket, avenue and ennis town. Tage going well at the moment aswell

Ya its wide open lets hope we can get a run of games and hopefully the weather will pick up

Avenue were the better team until they went down to 9 men but the momentum changed then. I've no allegiance to Ennis Town Mastermind but enjoy watching town derbys. You're right about Tage going well and I had to laugh when I heard Clare FM last night saying that Tage were pulling away from relegation. There's no fear of that happening..Great reporting!!!

Reporting of the clare league from the local papers and radio wouldnt be the best alright 0030. Lenny has done a great job with tage over the years and the club has a great togetherness. No matter what team they put out they will always give their all for their manager and club.

Tage goin well but have ave bridge and newmarket twice also rock away

That doesnt mean that Tage will struggle. They'll beat enough of the other teams to be well up the table. Newmarket and Avenue still the teams to beat. Its in the Clare People this morning that the League might consider a winter break. Would be a great idea if the League started a little earlier too
