Ten point reduction for a clubs A team,because their B team could not complete there fixture,that is crazy
Printable View
Our club had to travel to 2 clubs this season that pulled out before the season finished. Moher B ended up getting 12 points off these clubs without having to play them. For one of these games we had to make a 50 mile round trip. I would prefer to see titles decided on the pitch at the end of the season and not with walkovers. This might be an incentive for clubs not to withdraw their B team with 4 or 5 games left.
Very good point CousinSyl, Just out of curiosity how many people writing on the thread have actually ever sat in on a Clare League AGM, you could count them on one hand I imagine. Not to mention understanding the Rules and Regulations regarding same.
The Committee of the Clare League is elected at the AGM by the Clubs, any rule changes or structures i.e. League and Cup Competions happen at the AGM.
Everyone and his Granny can talk sh##e all day on this site about changes and their own personal grieviances, unless proposals are submitted to the League prior to the AGM, there will be no changes and the wheel will just keep turning, in whatever direction the Committee decides.
I would suggest the 10 point deduction go to the team for the next season and if that team pulls out it goes to whichever team that club has in the league......plus a 200 euro fine for each instance.:eek:
Any news on last nights proceedings?
Two clubs missing Cooraclare and Mountshannon. These clubs finished 1st & 2nd in fair play league but as they did not attend AGM award & cheque for €100 went to Connolly.

When is the league due to start?
Any developments last night??
Reminder: Bridge United AGM, Saturday @ 8
Word on the street is he got asked to take 2 positions inside limerick,never mind about newmarket,he would be more keen in going into limerick to one of the bigger clubs,not counting clare league hoping to involve him in the finance end of things ! seems a waste if he doesn,t be involved somewhere,with all his experience.
That's probobly where they held the AGM, First issue on the agenda was could it be turned into a weekly general meeting...:D
Jimmy Rocks is a big loss but sometimes change is good only time will tell. Will be a good asset to any other club. Clare League has an opening with Oscar Traynor?? Would Jim be interested?
Who are this years managers.I heard there were changes cause nothing worthwhile was won last year??
probally have to wait on new commitee getting aapplication for manager posts... area final won last year ... still a trophy
if they aint worthwhile winning why do all teams in clare keep entering both munster juinor / fai or at least then refuse to play area finals .. :D
Simple answer to that is they want to play in the FAI and Munster cups not the area finals.:confused:
Colm Ryan is due to be unveiled as the new rineanna rovers manager
at a press conference in the bellsfort later today.The news comes just two weeks after he was sacked by shannon olympic.Rumours are now floating
about that 7 players are to follow him from olympic....:D
Best of luck to the Schoolboy League as they begin the move forward to Summer Soccer this evening.
The Junior League will be watching with interest.
Yes, I echo those sentiments (even though the weather is doing its best to not make it summer like). The schoolboys league are very professional in their set up so I have no doubt that things will go well for the league.
he may have put a lot in but the season did not go to well also heard senior olympic people unhappy about team selections / formations last season ... especially formations seemed to change every weeks 3 5 2 formations 5 3 2 etc also seen a good few olympic games last year they had a lot of average / poor players
i would hope they all dont deceide to jump ship now .. :ball:
Above are the numbers that Olympic corner taker shouted before he kicked the ball into the box:p Can anyone remember that happening.
I hear that James Bullman is taking over the Managers job, wonder if he'll sign many new players cos if he doesn't and last years players leave he'll be in trouble before season kicks off.
The players were to blame for olympics poor season.The effort was just not put in.6-7 players turning up for training every week.These so called Senior olympic people had no problem with the managers formation changes the season before when things went very well.To be honest the formation only changed when the manager was let down by players being away,working or injured.He tried to play players in their best position.Colm was made a scapegoat by olympics SENIOR people.Now they have last years b team manager in charge which is funny because that team will probably be their A team.:ball:
not having a go at manager ... i played long enough to know know how hard it is .. also looked after a youth team for one season,, put me of management for ever ... i was just saying what a olympic committe member was telling me .. good luck to anybody who is brave or mad enough to look after any team :ball:
fair point .. as you mentioned no problems with tactics with things went well the year before ... always the easy option to blame manager when things go wrong... what is the story about 6-7 players now leaving to join him at rineanna ... looks like the players then had no problem with his management style .. :ball:
