Ok maybe dire straights is an exageration but for a club like newtown to be out of contention for league or cup in Feb is a serious under achievement. Last year they played really well and you would expect return of a star player should make them better.
Look at the teams below them Newmarket and Bridge Celtic will definitely stay up. Mountshannon and cratloe favourites to go down. That leaves only bunratty below them and I'd fancy them in a relegation battle. Only stating the obvious that if Newtown lose a few games they could be in relegation zone. They have lifford on Sunday so you would have to fancy an away win. So its not rocket science to think they could be dragged further down.
Dont get me wrong I dont think they will go down just think for a club of newtowns stature especially on last years performances they should be challenging for league and cup. Lots of talent there. League is very tight from top to bottom so nobody too good to go down yet.

Hows that for ya?

Well that makes everything ok then.No problems another great season for Newtown having been beaten by the enormously talented Corofin!!!

Your far too ambitious altogether.

newtown

no disrespect to newtown but i think ye are seriously not the team ye were when ye had johnny o coru up front! i think he is equally as good as davy wall and has a serious workrate. pity he is injured! as for davy wall you cant be relying on one player to do all the work there are plenty of other good players for newtown so cant see whats gone wrong with ye! im sure ye will bounce back hopefully with a win against lifford sunday!;)
As for avenue i think we can get better of lifford in cup! league is another story as its still up for grabs! hopefully we can go one better this year and do the double!!

very easy to slag off clubs.. not so long ago when newtown won 3-4 cups in 1 season .. they were micky mouse cups ... !! and now after a cup defeat to the holders at home ... suddenly a major crisis and newtown are a rubbish team.. newtown have been hold and cold for last year or 2 .. plus lost a few players through injury
players leaving ... definatly problems at club but a crisis / disaster is a bit strong...
more of a crisis at bunratty with there current position & also out of cup for a team that should have been 1 of top teams in clare recently,,, we do not know full story behind any teams unless personally involved & it is very easy to slag them of on this site :D :D

Manalishi = Boss??

Seems to me that 'new signing' Manalishi is trying to rise Newtown ahead of a big game with Lifford. Seem to remember a certain 'Boss' doing the same thing with Newmarket ahead of a Lifford game. Couldn't be the same person could it???

I heard that the Clare U16s were beaten by Moneypoint 3-2. I also heard the so called county team had no jerseys (had to borrow spare set off moneypoint), no water for the players etc. Just basic organisation. And then people ask questions about youths, oscar trayor etc. Problem runs a lot deeper im afraid.

Fair play Tommy, im sure there are plenty of people on this thread who support united (man that is) and were only delighted to win a (worthless????) trophy this season. to win any cup will help team spirit, provide a good night out and can be a springboard for next season. Nothing to be laughed at. best of luck to yee for the rest of the season.
Fancy Avenue for the Cup.

Lads,there is nothing wrong in Newtown,we were coasting in Corofin at 2-0,lots of lads playing well,took our foot off the pedal and found ourselves back at 2-2,had 80% of the play in the 2nd half and missed too many chances,Approaching fulltime Corofin broke from their defence and your man shot from approx 20 yards,it deflected off one of our centrehalfs and flew into the goal,that is the way soccer goes........we wished Corofin the best, the season is not finished yet,we will continue to do what we are doing,Having Davy Back is great but he is only one man who has bad games as well,we have had a horrendous injury list all season,looked to have cleared up around christmas and now has returned,no point in moaning you go with who you have and give it your best shot,As for relegation you are never safe till you are mathematically safe,we will continue till the end and defend our 3 trophies that we won last year.:ball: ;)

If I was you I would go and talk to the person who gave you this wildly inaccurate information and ask them where they got this from.

Get this.The Clare under 16s had a friendly against Moneypoint and wore (is this in big enough writing for you) [B]a brand new set of gear,in the right colors, sponsored by the CSSL's new sponsor UMBRO.They were leading 2 nil and made a number of changes after which they were beaten 2-3.Aidan O'Neill the manager was quite happy with the run out as it showed him a few areas he needed to address.

I am extremely interested in your (now) fully informed reply??

corofin won the cup for the first time last year.. the first time the village had won anything. it was never going to be easy for them (newtown)on sunday and in fairness they must have taken foot off the gas to end up losing the game. as for corofin maybe they could get the playoff place in div1 this year. they are a strong side.
i'd say olympic will have a problem or 2 with moher also. while oly must be favourites moher lads have cup final memories and will prove tough nut to crack:ball:

Yeah i have to agree with you there Plastic Pitch. They had some bad results early on in the season before they had there full team available. They are a tough side, and will easily climb out of the relegation battle.

Hacker do you have any of the other odds?????

corofin vs newtown

Just replying to all this rubbish bout the corofin newtown game,newtown dominated the first 20 mins and got 2 goals corofin dominated second 25 and scored twice and should have got more.newtown owned 2nd half but couldnt take chances.harps created a chance and scored.think corofin not getting the credit they deserve,just cause newtown are premier they have no god given right to win,harps are cup champions and tough to beat at home.

I don't think that anyone at newtown thought that they had the right to win this game nor do they have in any game so i'll just clear that one up...

It was a cup game and the Harps won and thats that..:ball:

Tommy nobody having a go at newtown. But for all their talent they should be doing better. If they had the battling qualities that Corofin obviously have they would be top of the league. Cos the league is so close the remaining four or five games will all be cup ties so if your side are not up for the battle they could be in trouble thats all. I think ye have the talent to beat Lifford on sun but not the toughness if its a battle.
However fair play to Corofin, Olympic and Moher could show up a few more premier teams in the Cup yet.

I heard half the Newtown team is missing for the Lifford match including Noel Donnellan and the other half have a function on so Lifford will stroll it on Sunday??Some commitment!!!!They are worse than playing a country team with a load of GAA heads so you dont know from week to week who you are playing!!This is hardly fair to Avenue or the Bridge not to mention that they will be back in the relegation battle after losing.

What is your obsession with Newtown??Have you no club of your own to worry about or are you an Avenue man trying to raise the bait for the Lifford game??

My apologies ive been away for a few days only back today. Still havn't spoken to him but will do over the weekend. But fair play if what u posted was true. that is a far cry from what i was told and im delighted to hear it. were all on this post for the same reason and we all want clubs in clare and the county team to do well. It was a shocking result though!!! (not having a dig at anyone especially manager). Is there potential there. Are you involved yourself?

hey townie dont ya think thats a bit sad?? thought avenue enjoyed playing lifford cause of the local rivalry. t think that anyone thinks they are unbeatable is yet again another sad statment. just for the record everyone at lifford believes that we are better than avenue. we shall see who is the victor. at the end of the day whoever wins all players should be able to shake hands and say fair play... otherwise you'll be just as arrogant and hated like lissleton and teams like that!!
ps incase you missed my previous posts the boss is not a lifford player!!

Not half as shocking as the youths team result.This was only a friendly meant to find things out,and it worked from that point.There are only 4 teams in the 16s league so I wouldnt expect much.

manalishi ... looks like half a newtown team was good enough to beat lifford... waiting to see if you will give a bit of praise after post above ... would this not class as liffords most embarasing defeat after all newtown are a terrible team in crisis out of cup beaten by a first division team... and as i mentioned in earlier posts newtown have been either excellent / terrible all season

I heard the Lifford keeper was sent off early enough and it could have been a lot worse than a 3-1 defeat for Lifford.

yet again this season the trip to newtown could cost us league honours. newtown full value for the win. Heath sent off half way through 1st half for handling outside area. 2nd goal og by stand in goalie. very disappointed but i'll be cheering for newtown next sunday down the lees road.

Olympic 1 - 2 Rock rovers

Match played sunday afternoon at 1:30 pm in mucky conditions. All I can say about this, is that the olympic players and manager, took this fixture too lightly and we thought all we had to do was turn up. We were missing a few but no excuses, were were beaten because we were awful for the first half. Conceded two goals and didnt create a single chance ourselves. Couldnt get a touch of the ball in fact. The two players up front for Rock, Rowan Eade and Niggles were outstanding. The second half was different, the introduction of Fogarty and Ryan made a big difference and olympic surged forward, and only for the heroics of the rock keeper we would have scored 3 or 4. Donncadh Kelly got one back with a great header with about 15 mins to go to set up a possible great finish, but we couldnt get past the keeper who saved brilliantly from O'Neill, Houlihan(twice), Scott & Reagan. All in all, a lesson learnt for us. Do not take any team too lightly. 3 points literally thrown away.

Fairplay give credit where it is due this week so next week Avenue will have a stroll as the Newtown boys only play every second week.Dont see the relevance with a crisis with Lifford??Lifford didnt loose to a 3rd from bottom 1st division side after leading 2-0 and needing to revenge last years cup SF defeat,having led that as well!!!My opinion on Newtown doesnt change though.They have lots of skill but no brains and no balls!!!!

i'd say olympic will have a problem or 2 with moher also. while oly must be favourites moher lads have cup final memories and will prove tough nut to crack:ball:

Are we only talking about the Clare Cup and the Premier Division in regards to the VILLAGE never having won anything or do all the teams in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions only tog out every wet, cold Sunday for the fun of it.
Granted the Avenue, Newtown, Newmarket and a few other teams have a long and distingueshed Silverware collection but to the likes of Corofin, Tulla, Hermitage, Burren, Kilkee etc winning the 3rd, 2nd or 1st Division or Shield for that matter counts as winning something.
And if my memory is correct Corofin have a few 2nd Division titles won as well as a few 1st Divion Shields. Try telling the players from that Corofin era that they never won anything.
