Wheelers in my opinion is better than skinny but
Do you really think skinny is a "great keeper"? Hes half decent at very most. (imo)
who are you comparing him to?
Wouldnt put great in the same sentance as any keeper in Clare.

Have to agree that Wheeler's in my opinion is a better keeper than Skinny, both have good defences in front of them to hide whatever weaknesses are there.
If your talking about best keepers there are a few good ones outside the Shannon area. The Hermitage keeper springs to mind straight away, as does that foreign lad that plays with Bridge Celtic.
Just a point on an earlier thread, not all the best players in Clare were picked for the Oscar Treaynor Panel for one reason or another. Eddie went with the panel that could give him the commitment needed, needless to say, not all players could give that commitment.

Brutus, based on the four players you selected from shannon olympic, I have to ask the question, have you ever actually seen them play??? Or just repeating something you heard in the pub......

Lads it is a bit strange that Noel Donnellan hasn't been mentioned in this along with Jason Stretton. They have been rock solid this year for Newtown. Noel hasn't put a foot wrong all year and is Probably the reason Newtown are doing so well.Jason has done great stuff aswell but he can only do so much as Noel seems to leave him with little or nothing to do. Speaking to a few of Newtown apponents and they reckon the to lads are the best center half/ sweepers they have played against.

Have to agree, easily the best centre half pairing around. Are newtown worried that next yr they might loose their best asset, their defence??? surely b team football is calling for the old heads. Not having having a go at age (as they are playing very well) but cant play at the top forever!!

old heads alright but by performances this season don't see any reason why they will want to stop playing next year .. plenty of bite / heart left in both jason & noel to see in a few more seasons with newtown .. :ball:

It confuses me because.......... how can he be right as u clearly say he is and then say he obviously doesn't watch too much football???? What's worse is u wrote it twice and it still makes sense in your head:rolleyes:

wel from talking to one individual, andy couldnt teach this fella anything he hadnt learned since under-10 with peter webb,
is there a better man for the job does anyone have any opinion on this.

Best man for the job would be Jimmy Rocks. Whatever you dont learn from him wouldnt be worth knowing.

Seems to be doing an ok job this year.
Any, theres no point in trying to teach fella's something if they are not willing to learn,in one ear and out the other. Especialy when they know everything there is to know about the game;)

Parkfan, any chance of some punctuation or even a few capital letters at the start of each sentence?

In my opinion, and its only an opinion, you couldn't pick a best 4 from Olympic without including Kelly, Fogarty(last sundays match excepted) & B O'Connor. I'd go for John Ryan to make up that 4 for consistency of performance. Jimmy is a class player, one of the best around on his day, but not consistent. Jay Reagan, good, but again inconsistent. I've picked my players based on influence on the outcome of the match, not skill. Obviously, there's be no place for Fogarty if I had.............:D :D

Your a bit out of date. Jay is playing at Central Defence.Great stuff i might add.
He did play with Shannon Town at youths and was a great player for them from what i have heard. He also played with them in the Premier in Limerick
but i don't know about not succeeding.What was he meant to achieve.:confused:

theres alot of players out there always wanting to learn more,but a good percentage of the managers or coaches just arent goods enough and that why i think people are always posting saying theres a lack of quality in shannon..my opinion is if you want to coach a team go get your badges first then come back to the club,how many managers or trainers in shannon at this moment looking after teams have badges?

I wonder did Bill Shankley or Brian Clough have badge's......:eek:
You don't need badge's to teach a player the game, only need a player listen and not hear you.:ball:
