in fairness not all olympic results down to referee, having said that paddy is brutal but all you can do is try and get on his good side and don't forget he ruins game for both teams :D

at the end of season best team wins league and then ye earn the respect :ball:[/QUOTE]
We will look forward to earning yer respect then:D
read my posts im not boasting about any thing or anyone
There won't be any fixtures this weekend with the weather that's expected!! Time for the league to demand that under-soil heating is compulsory.
Demanding under-soil heating is ridiculous. Several clubs havent even their own pitch to feckin heat. This wont happen till at least 2012. Happy new year!!!
CDSL have called off all League games this weekend
i expect avenue /rock / newmarket / bunratty to be in the shake up
they are not in any particular order , but would be nice if it was ;-)
happpy new year
i dont reckon they will fade away but its gonna be tight
and just re reading there about avenue getting another week off, do ye think their is some big conspiricy to give avenue the league or what, they have 8 games played, all the teams in the middle have 6 played so the league are trying an balance it out. luck of the draw, im sure they would rather be playing sunday and not doing a sunday/tues/sund/ weds programme at the end of the season that they have done for last 2 seasons.
your right about the relagation,. cant see how burren or oly will sstay up . lifford could string a few wins and stay safe,
so what happens if avenue b win or come 2nd in 1st?
when is oscar traynor draw
The draw for the quarter finals will take place on Friday the 22nd of January 2010 in the Aishling Hotel.
Remaining teams:
Group 1 - Galway or Mayo (not played yet - Galway need to win & Mayo need a draw)
Group 2 - Roscommon or Sligo or Donegal (Rocommon V Sligo not played yet - Sligo beat Donegal 2-1 & Donegal beat Roscommon 2-1 so all to play for still in this group)
Group 3 - The T.S.D.L. topped the Group with maximum points after impressive back to back wins over the W.W.E.C. League and the Munster Senior League. With International players James Walsh and Paul Breen in the heart of their defence they will be tough opponents for the other Leagues in the last eight.
Group 4 - Was the tightest group with all three teams finishing on three points. The Cork AUL advanced on goal differance from Kerry & Limerick with a 2-0 victory over Limerick in their last match.
Group 6 - Wexford came out on top in with a 1-0 win over Kilkenny in what was a very tough Group.
Group 7 - The Defence Forces were the first to qualify and they achieved this with two wins over Carlow and UCL, they could be the dark horses in the competition as they are a bit of an unknown quantity.
Group 8 - The Dublin A.U.L. secured a 0-0 draw against Waterford on their second attempt. They then hammered Wicklow 10-1 after Wicklow went ahead after two minutes in a game that was hard to describe, this then left Waterford needing to score ten or more goals to advance to the knock-out stages but they could only manage a 2-2 draw.

its usually planners doing the "baiting"
as for truth meister, it doesnt involve crystal balls to look at a league table at the half way point and use common sense (u seem to lack) and make an opinion as to who is struggling.
oh the impetuosity of youth ( or not , in your case)
Anybody know when the clare cup starts and when the draw takes place? its usually early january but i havent heard any gossip about it yet!
Here we go again!!
Yeah, we asked for 3 away games to start our campaign and have a look at the league table, do we look like we are in our position because of our strategic placements of fixtures!! We're not the ones asking for afternoon kick-offs the whole time!!!
So you're not a rat, that's obvious. My knees are good and looking forward to the weekend. I might get the re-call to the A team though after the disappointing performance against Olympic. I'm sorry I was away for that game, could have had a bit of banter with you, although I always get the 2 of you mixed up;););)
Lads - anyone back training on grass - what are the underfoot conditions like ?
Lads whats going on with the fixtures why was the newmarket game down for 2.30 and now its changed to 11 madness with the state roads will be in asking any team to travel back that early is wrong and why in gods name is the rats and bridge utd match on at 2.30 when its a 5 min drive away from eachother.
This is rediculous alright. Doolin is an hour drive from Newmarket and it's not like the road(s) back to there are good. That road is absolutely ****e at the best of times not to mind in the sub-zero temperatures we're having at the moment, we'll have to get up at the crack of dawn to make the 11.00 kick-off.
Not really too safe to play/train on at the moment Planners. Astro turf the way to go at the moment for training.
You would have to wonder what was the thinking behind this one lads, what was wrong with leaving this game down for 2.30? That would give the away team plenty of time to travel, plus the roads and the pitch would have thawed out some bit by that stage. Can't imagine pitches being safe for the weekend anyway. 11.00 kick offs are going to have to be scrapped by the looks of it so whatever games the league need to go ahead will have to be 2.00pm at the earliest to give them any hope of going ahead
avenue played burren back on 18th oct and again before xmas ther have been oscar traynor, munster junior, league games and cancellations in between. i agree there should be some system to play every one once before the 2nd ha;f of season and play each other again but that cant always and will not always work, because if u have the set fixtures to play every one at start, one after the other , what happens if, few teams progress in fai and munster, if games are postponed, if some teams have no one on ot team, so its not gonna run as simply as eveyone wants, and i cant belive the clare league favour avenue,
as for the match timings, in sure it has to do with ref availability as well,
cant please all of the people all of the time ( no google needed there!!!)

Is it ever anyother way - -
We trained lastnight , had 22 down - good to see the lads are still up for it - I hear that there are still a few clubs struggling with numbers for training - NOF just to mention one - any other clubs out there who have lost the hunger to do well this year ?
Your some sh1t stirrer.[/QUOTE]
No , we are here just get the facts - we were hoping for a positive response , it seems to us that they lads who are doing a bit over and festive period will have the edge hence our opinion that the clubs who are stumbling to keep things going may have lost the hunger - the next few games will be very important - if they ever get to be fixed - the longer lads / teams wait the lower the interest gets - that all

Its 2010 Planners consortium. Yere legs are another year older, pace a little slower, back a little stiffer - plus GAA training is starting soon. Wheels could fall off yet:D

Maybe but age doesn’t effect experience , ability and sheer class -pace was a problem for some of us but the previously mention accolades more than make up for that - but as previously mentioned ,comments like this are just self praise and its not allowed - but we need to defend ourselves :D
Wheels well secure - but thanks for asking
