Clare League 2007/08

Youths League Playoff abandoned 15 mins into the game. An absolute joke, ref had no interest whatsover in reffin this match. Lifford's pitch was in great condition and wasn't even cuttin up any bit. ref out with his umbrella before the strange 10.30 kick-off time(put in place to facilitate the moher players who were goin playin with the clare minor footballers at 3pm) in the drizzlin rain sayin the game will go ahead but if theres a heavy shower its off. and so came a heavy 90 seconds rain and he blows it up.sun out for a few hours around 12.crazy stuff, one newmarket player stayed to play this game instead of goin to Utd Villa game which had cost him a fair few euro

once again clare league show their true colours .. what is more important league playoff or a gaa clare minor match !!!!
should rename them the clare league gaa soccer league
wasting your time even complaining to league .. :mad::mad:

CDSL meeting should be interesting tonight. The decision on the reserve lg will have to be made soon. It was kind of fobbed off at the last meeting despite 2 clubs there eager to debate it.

Anyone any thoughts on the proposal from the lg. I'm not sure will delegates be asked to vote for or against it tonight or will the lg just tell us what decision they have come to.

Draw for the cup quarter finals to be made too. Will the premier teams clash as has been the norm so far this year. 4 teams from outside the Premier in the last 4.

Would be against the reserve league so much so that it is possible that we will form a break away club which we dont want to do but the squad want to play competitive soccer not just a glorified friendly league. What is Bunratty's stance on it as ye also have a B team?

Bunratty as a club need to know the structure proposed before making a decision. Nobody seems to know the precise details of whats proposed.

From what I know I personally do not see the benefits of a reserve lg.
It may not matter what clubs think if the lg go and make a decision. Its not necessarily a delegate decision.

Wexford ran a reserve lg a few years back and its was disbanded. I could see the same happening in Clare and for us that means losing players to the Limerick Lg.

I think the clare league would be better off concentrating on more important issues like a change to summer soccer rather than wasting time over a proposal where they are going to destroy some good B teams whose players train every week in order to tog out on a sunday and have a laugh and a few pints afterwards and not just so they can be primarily a feeder for their clubs A team. I mean under the current system if a player is doing well for a clubs b team then he can play some games for the a team. So why all the fuss??

The clare league need to make the change to summer soccer once and for all. The league will be run off on time and then clubs can concentrate on fai's and munster competitions for the winter as the chairman has stated this is where clubs should be making their mark. They should not be worried how Gaa clubs will react. Its none of their business. The GAA in clare would not think twice about soccer in clare if the shoe was on the other foot..

Time for change Mr Madden et al......

Any one get the draw for next round of cup??

More like 5.40 the price of a kopperberg.:D :D

Newtown 2 Bunratty 1, Bunratty sickened by a 93rd minute winner, Rats keeper sent off after 10 mins for a hand ball outside the box(referee was only one who saw it, even Newtown couldn't believe it) Bunratty scored after 2 mins and conceded 5 mins after the sending off, in fairness to Bunratty they looked comfortable all through the game, Newtown had 2 great chances at 1-1 but poor finishing let them down, Win pushes Newtown up the table but loss for Bunratty has them in deep trouble

Was standing behind the keeper and it looked like the ref got it right and guy beside me thought so too but Darren was adamant it hit his shoulder.Incident should never have arisen as the chance shoud have been put away .Bunratty will be mad about not getting the point.Newtown very wishy washy up front

Win pushes Newtown up the table but loss for Bunratty has them in deep trouble[/quote]
rats are going down?? typical after good cup result cant get themselves up for the bread and butter of the league
