Very consistant..which is the key. Also a sound bunch of lads without any of the cockyness of previous years..a lot to do with the manager I'd say.
A very good side overall.
Its going to be very tight this year. I fancy one from Avenue, Bridge or Newtown. Lifford shot their load last year & will struggle to make the same impact(the boss??) + it will depend on if B'ratty & N'market sign anybody. Any thoughts? :ball: :D

come out of the clouds present team not even closely related to great avenue team . john o connor / john o mally / gearoid mannix / mikey twoomey / blackie / johnny purtill / mickey burns to name just a few and its not that long ago they were winning everything in clare.. :D :D :D

not quite the "most incompetent" (you obviously dont play in clare) but his best days are behind him, I agree. Nice guy though.............

I can think of at least 3 refs in the CL worse than he.

P.Dunne, A. Murphy, Bubbles, prob more if I gave it time.

never said that. Just made a point that the Avenue team this year were solid & consistant. A better TEAM than they have had for the past few years.
Not many teams would touch that Avenue team you mentioned, but back then N'market & Newtown were also very strong.
But old boy thats in the past. Are u still playing? :)

Transfers

I heard a rumour Brian O'Connor & Donnacha Kelly are in a possible move to Caherdaven, is there any truth behind this, I think it's the proximity to shannon is what makes it the most attractive club in limerick to sign for. Any thoughts? Have Olympic made any new signings? :ball:

Last time I checked Header, Shannon Town FC and Park Rangers were closer to Shannon than Caherdavin.

Dont know about any new signings for Olympic. I heard John Ryan from Bunratty might be coming, but probably only a rumour.

D wall wasn't part of the squad last year & Newtown finished about 4th in the league, beaten in Cup semi & won the other 3 cups. Nearly all of last year squad have signed again along with 5-6 good new players so we would hope to be up there challanging in all competitions. The problem last year was drawing too many games so if we can socre a few more goals I would be hopeful of a good campaign :o :) :ball:

Ok. From your knowledge of the clare league past & present, along with a few other things I thought you might have been an old team mate of mine.
If you are around that long I've either played with or against you.
Moving on, who is the best player you have come up against over the years?

we may crossed paths ... not 100% sure who u are ...

to many good players who tormented me ... but will name a few

bernard collins newmarket a centre forward
colm (blackie) mounsey avenue
damian lindsay shannon town / newtown

plus one i never played against to many time thank god

when he was fit & up for it paul (bunny) carr ... what a waste of talent

sorry if i left a few out....

what about yourself ... must have a few opponents who you rate highly :D :D :D

good choices, there have been some great players over the years. I'd add
Sean Lindsay(damian's brother), Mannix(in his prime), + Kieran Collins(bernards brother).
Bunny was tops on natural ability but probably bottom on attitude/dedication.

ray skinny casey was the rock that avenue was built on. nobody ****ed with him. collins (either brother) newmarket was the hardest to mark. you'd have him in your pocket for 88 mins but the ****er (actually one of the nicest guys you could meet) would have 2 goals in those 2 minutes. newmarket and avenue would kick five lumps out of each other then go down and have pints together afterwards, respect.
thanks be to god i didn't have to mark black, that man was gifted, as was cha donellan newmarket and avenue. peter cosgrove and ritchie fitz are another 2 that could have easily played at a way higher level.
as for next season, avenue will get a rude awakening, snakes in the grass ready to pounce. 7 of the 10 can win it. the 3 left out are rineanna there squad isn't big enough. they where up there last year but couldn't sustain it. mountshannon and cratloe, on there day better than most teams if not all but dont have enough of them days. surprise package bridge ****** and not so much of a surprise newtown.

forgot to mention johnny purtill best goalkeeper around in last 10-15 years.... but as mentioned above when u have the likes of ray casey / mannix etc in front of you it helps ... ah the good old days of clare league soccer.. :D :D :D

Couldnt agree with you more. I realise that the standard of football in the clare lague isnt very high and therefore the standard of refereeing isnt going to be very high either, but you can forgive someone for making a bad decision if it is a genuine mistake. What really irritates people is when the ref baltantly decides not to follow the rules. P. Dunne constanly sides with the team that is getting beat by 3-4 goals and delibrately gives incorrect decisions ie ruling legit goals as being offside, turning down penalties etc. Its not for him to decide that a team shouldnt get beat by more than 4 goals or so. All he seems to want is to be the focus point in every game that he refs, when he should just be letting the players get on with it. Id prefer to have more weekends off because there isnt enough refs the do all the games than for him to continue to be as ref. I mean its not even that some teams dislike him because in the past he has given decisions against him and are now they're sour with him. Every team and every player I imagine would agree that he's not fit to step foot on a pitch. How the clare league havent got rid of him by now is beyond me. People talk about how the clare league needs to be improved, well the first step should be to get rid of P. Dunne.

paddy has been doing this for years .. when enough clubs complain
usually premier league teams he just gets moved down a division or two to ruin their leagues... also i feel that if you complain to much
to clare league / referee committe they then seem to go against you and you get more hassle from referees / clare league ... so in the end is it worth it..... p.s. the clare league know excatly what is going on & have just ignored it for years .. :D :D

Back from Hols and hear the Manager Merry go round has started, heard that Jim Toomey is now A Team Manager of Newmarket, any other news lads?

Fancy Bridge ****** to do well if they have signed everyone, but there has been quite a bit of interest from Limerick Teams in a number of their players, they might just have a depleted squad, this would be a shame as they are a great addition to the Prem!!!
