With all due respect, I think this is the first time a game has been called off in Clare because of similar socks. At the start of the season each team provides their club colours but not their shorts or socks colours, why? Because it has not been an issue until now. Another ruling that sits in the ever expanding 'grey area' book of rules I think!
I think the grey area is a good thing , and referees making these calls will soon enough bring things in to the black and white areas which is what is needed. This decision though it seems to be controversial will help to focus teams on the little things , like the colour of the oppositions kit. In the long term if you take out all the little doubts then in the whole things can only improve. I bet Teams will be focussing more on their kits for their next games.Quote:

avenue playing newmarket at weekend...massive one..wonder who the rats are shouting for;)
am sure theyll be going for a newmarket double against the avenue and lifford on tuesday, cant see that happening, avenue neeed a big result to keep on track and lifford are banging in goals for fun of late, they stepped up to the mark but u would wonder in a tight game do they have the cohonies, history says no but i am really enjoying the football they are playing at the moment and are clearly t6he on form team. Bunratty are expected to get over the bridge hurdle but it mite be a case of Big Zeb itis and hit that fence. as for all teams i am not sure who will be missing u21 hurlers as that championship starts paddys day as well. Any interesting opinions on the 2big days coming up, anyone hear when tulla u16 are playing cherry orchard???
yes i tinkif avenue want league bad enough they will certainly have to show it against newmarket in the 50 50's!!i tink lifford will beat newmarket durin week and keep theor title shot alive. they really snuck under the radar, everyone talkin bout avenue and bunratty, if lifford win games in hand they are 2 points behind the top. do lifford have to play bunratty again?
ya travelling to cassidys is a tough task and the best side on the day generally win cause the pitch is second to none in the county. lifford have to take the long journey to lees road as well ha ha, correct they have slipped under the radar but again when push comes to shove u have to doubt them althought i woukldnt hold it against them to win some thing :eek: nice bunch off lads the team that is not the management ha
That game is on Sunday Ave V Cherry Orchard.
Don't know the venue though
any predictions for the weekend ?????????:ball::ball:
Il go for 3 draws on sunday. Rinneanna, Avenue and Newmarket wins on tuesday. what you think yourself celts?Quote:

Newmarket 2-2 Avenue. A goal each in the last five minutes.
Newmarket have to give Lifford a walkover on Tuesday now though which is a pity. Reason being they can't field 11 players at 11am due to lads working Paddy's Day so really have no option.
I spose a draw was probably a fair result in the end today but thought we could have nicked the 3 points which would have been great as now we are only going to end up with a point from the 2 games this week.Quote:

Lifford are refusing to switch the kick-off to the afternoon which is not very much to ask of them in all fairness. 2 years ago (August 27 2006 to be precise) Newmarket were down to play Lifford, Lifford asked the league could the Junior game be switched to the Monday because they were playing Limerick in the Eircom U21 the Saturday, of course Newmarket kindly obliged when Lifford and the Clare League came knocking on the door and did Lifford a favour, the game was played on the Monday. It later emerged that the U21 game didn't actually go ahead at all and that Lifford were just abusing the situation. Now when the shoe is on the other foot Lifford won't return the favour. I hope the 'mighty' Lifford take great pride from taking a walkover on Tuesday in their quest to win a first meaningful trophy in around thirty-something years at junior level
Bridge Celtic B 2-4 Bunratty A.
Good away win for Bunratty coming back from 2-0 down to win 2-4.

Typical from Lifford, disappointing to see, but not supprised.
lads anyone know how avenue u13 got on against cherry orchard. as for above players jobs at the end of the day are way more important than any football game especially in the current climate. whats clare leagues stance on this, have ye told them about lads working?Quote:
