One last thing how many captains of gaa clubs would pick a soccer game over the first round of the championship???? NONE:mad:Quote:

not provoking hacker here planners. i know they were missing a few that day jimmy houlihan being one of them but I'm only giving my opinion on Rineannas season and that was their big chance
as you say we were missing jimmy add to that jocks and hugh kelly..they are 3 big players.
Hugh is definitley anyways sure isnt he about 6 foot 5"!!:D:D
Hello all in the Clare league from Rebel HQ.Newmarket make the long trip to our pleasent abode Saturday in the Munster Senior Cup.I belive they have had a stop start season to date,would they be considered the best team in Clare this season.No offence ment an Im not lookin for anythin underhanded just an honest question.:)
Its been a poor enough start alright this season but on the day they are capable of beating all teams in Clare . From talking to a few of the lads they are really looking forward to the game on Saturday. It will be a step up in standard for some of the Newmarket lads but they like the underdog tag , it suits their mindset ;).Quote:

P.S will you be wearing a "littleman" name tag so we can identify you. Will you be responsible for the soup and sandwiches after.
Well if they couldn't beat Kilrush without him, why not?Quote:

only a maybee .. how would you feel played last week in place of club captain ( at gaa match ) had a good game . trained during the week to be told on sunday sorry you are dropped as he is club captain and is available to play this week ... i would be fair p***ed of :ball:Quote:

If you however were involved in the team then you could have an input in the next game team selection.
As said before this players commitment to both Avenue and Soccer in Clare (Oscar Traynor) is unquestionable.
Avenue lost the game so your argument is not as strong as had they won the game, then the sentiment of it would have been valid.
You have played enough games yourself over the years in Clare, where players had been missing from previous games and have been included in the following game, we all have, it may not be right in the bigger picture, but thats just the way it is.
Put the topic to bed and get on with more important issues.
Your not far wrong with Fairhill.O'Neill Park is directly opposite Apple Computers.At the top of Fairhill take a left,up the road about 300 yards an take a right,a left again an straight up to the top of that road an O'Neill Park is on your right hand side,road front.The weather down here is cold but fine.The pitch is lookin well an although there is a slight slope on it the surface is excellent to play on according to most visiting sides.
With regards to refreshments after the game,we will be inviting ye to the Anglers Sports lounge win lose or draw which is the best sports bar in the city.The Anglers is at the very bottom of Fiarhill so even headin home it will be very easy .The wife is from Corrifin an she has a few cousins still playin with them so no doubt there will be plenty of good banter between both parties.I wont have a name tag but if ye need anythin just ask,it wont take long to find me.
Great result for Newmarket (1-0).Quote:

Great win for Newmarket Celtic and for Clare soccer today. Both sides had a good few chances in what was a close enough game. First chance fell to Grattan, Skinny made a great save to deny them. Mike Malley put Jimmy through and his effort shaved the post. The pair linked up again soon after but the ref pulled it for offside with jimmy through on goal, a rare poor call from him in fairness. 2nd half saw chances at both ends again, Seamus Considine didn't hesitate when he spotted the keeper just off his line but his cheeky chip went inches over. Grattan threw everything at the visitors but couldn't hit the back of the net, Eoin Kelly and Duck cleared off the line and at the other end Monty and Michael Crosby came close too. Newmarket's hunger and desire all over the pitch shone through in the end, Jimmy grabbing a dramatic 89th minute winner. The Reds deserved the win and were good value for it too at 3/1 if anyone had a punt

Super result for the lads from Newmarket... Best of luck in round 2 against Midelton. Home game so I give ye every chance. Saw Grattan myself last season and thought they were very good side.
Was there a hint of offside about Jimmy's goal??? If there was then all the better. Nice to get a decision like that away from home. Its not often it happens.
tulla v newmarket celtic
great win for them on sat, but can see us causing a shock on sun. we love the underdog tag. it will give us a good indication as to how far off the premier standard we are at the moment.
will need a few lads to play like your legend michael anthony to pull off a shock result .. :D is he still involved with tulla these daysQuote:

Bridge United Celebrating 40 years
Hi all, as you may already know the 2007/08 season was the 40th in the clubs history. We will be celebrating this milestone with an anniversary dinner dance on the 18th October in the Clare Inn.
Guest of Honour on the night is FAI CEO John Delaney. Tickets are €30 and all are welcome. Tickets can be purchased from any committee member and details are available on our website www.bridgeunited.net
On another note congrats to Newmarket on a great result at the weekend. With a full squad there is no reason why ye can not go another few rounds in this competition. Good stuff!
Not taking away from the Newmarket win but Grattan were missing 6/7 players from last season - obviously this result puts a more realistic picture on the chances that Newmarket have in getting any further in this tourement - but the best of luck to them
Planners with a comment like that you are waiting for some Newmarket lad to take the bait. Is this in relation to the earlier issues highlighted on this forum with regards to Skinny and Jimmy? Newmarket can only go out and play whats in front of them. Why dont you stop belittling your club even further with such comments.:rolleyes:Quote:

Next Subject Please!!!
no one is getting carried away.From what iv seen the only comments have been to congratulate newmrket on a good away win.this site is for giving opinions.no one will begrudge you of that. but you started by saying that u dont want to belittle newmarkets win in Cork as Grattan were missin 6/7 players. so what? What were newmrket meant to do? Call off the game.Every club that represents their county in these competitions should be encouraged. You should encourage the newmrket lads for their next game agains midleton the next time your in the village - thats the closest youll ever get to competing in the munster senior cup!:DQuote:
