Sorry 1 for . I don't care what your reasons . Leaving a club this close to the start of the season is not on.
To be honest a lot of clubs are finding it hard to keep squads . As has been posted I think loyalty and clubman days are gone but we need to understand loyalty works both ways is club to player and player to club . In my humble opinion I think guys just want to play and won't spend time on bench . Be a sub on a prem team or be a star on a first or second team . I'd be honest I'd like to try and play at the highest level I can and as a lot of guys on here know me I do spend a fair bit of time on the bench . But I'd prefer 30 40 minutes at prem then 90 at 1st div just my view . A lot of lads play 5 a side etc it's easier no commitment turn up play . No need to train 2 a week etc and so forth what ye all think . Their is a lot of clubs in similiar situations you have Greenwood Blarney street and if rumours are true Gratten are having poor turnouts that's 3 clubs in the prem . I'll be honest at Innish we finding it hard to keep a squad training but when you say lads we have a challange game you have 16 17 lads turn up where's as the previous week u might have had 8 or 9 training ! How do you address this slide . That must clubs are finding themselves in . Managers Chairman committees all doing thankless work and then you have spoilt brats playing for clubs egos etc . Should fAi look at capping number of clubs ? Is their too many clubs and not enough interested commited players I don't know anyone have answers .
And as I heard aswell joe Ryan is heading to Kilreen alsoQuote:

We are having great turnouts for training/games at the moment ( 18-20+) but that will bring its own inevitable problems once the season starts and lads cant get a game. Players have to buy in to the squad system and not expect to play every game. Hard, frustrating, yes but its got to be accepted. Loyalty? very little of that left these days.Quote:

It's frustrating for everyone with the amount of changes every season, teams being pulled together for a season or two, win a trophy/ league and then disband. It's happening way too much, there's a lot to be said for the Gaa with how they deal with it. They should limit the numbers allowed sign for a team in a season like the MSL, might curb it somewhat.
i rather win a trophy then not radio the players come and go but the clubs carry on thats just life let not take it to serious .the slating people get over junior football is unreal.Quote:

The posts about loyalty are a million percent true. There is none and this will continue while clubs fan the egos of these average players! Stories say seven at Kklumney training on Thursday and Coachford cancelled. Decent clubs but will remain cyclical if they keep taking players with no link to them. It's the ego of a clubman or manager that stirs it too - just remember, if a players sells a club out to join you, chances are he will sell you out in time too. Park are the biggest club in the AUL - they will have good and bad seasons but not boom and bust.
I wouldn't say there in trouble cause there missing a few playing in a friendly big loss to Kilumney ya but sure there always vs be replacedQuote:

One player has been asked a few times and even that was for the right reasons. Rockmount are struggling, chances are Avondale might in a few years. Why? Because they took short term views on players who showed no loyalty or have no connection. Just my opinion but wouldn't money spent underage be more beneficial to clubs longer term than paying today's superstar "expenses" to have one good season?? Kilumney players gone "home" - city players gone from Coachford back to city - Midleton players gone back to the Great Island. It takes a brave club to not look short term and I couldn't say my club would turn down short term glory in the future... ........the proof is there though that it damages the club long term!!Quote:

[QUOTE=1fortheTeam;1770116]You know as well as I do - clubs, teams and games don't just occur - people work to produce them all. Loyalty should be given to clubs and by clubs. Think long term not short termQuote:
