Very consistant..which is the key. Also a sound bunch of lads without any of the cockyness of previous years..a lot to do with the manager I'd say.
A very good side overall.
Its going to be very tight this year. I fancy one from Avenue, Bridge or Newtown. Lifford shot their load last year & will struggle to make the same impact(the boss??) + it will depend on if B'ratty & N'market sign anybody. Any thoughts? :ball: :D

come out of the clouds present team not even closely related to great avenue team . john o connor / john o mally / gearoid mannix / mikey twoomey / blackie / johnny purtill / mickey burns to name just a few and its not that long ago they were winning everything in clare.. :D :D :D

not quite the "most incompetent" (you obviously dont play in clare) but his best days are behind him, I agree. Nice guy though.............

I can think of at least 3 refs in the CL worse than he.

P.Dunne, A. Murphy, Bubbles, prob more if I gave it time.

never said that. Just made a point that the Avenue team this year were solid & consistant. A better TEAM than they have had for the past few years.
Not many teams would touch that Avenue team you mentioned, but back then N'market & Newtown were also very strong.
But old boy thats in the past. Are u still playing? :)

Transfers

I heard a rumour Brian O'Connor & Donnacha Kelly are in a possible move to Caherdaven, is there any truth behind this, I think it's the proximity to shannon is what makes it the most attractive club in limerick to sign for. Any thoughts? Have Olympic made any new signings? :ball:

Last time I checked Header, Shannon Town FC and Park Rangers were closer to Shannon than Caherdavin.

Dont know about any new signings for Olympic. I heard John Ryan from Bunratty might be coming, but probably only a rumour.

D wall wasn't part of the squad last year & Newtown finished about 4th in the league, beaten in Cup semi & won the other 3 cups. Nearly all of last year squad have signed again along with 5-6 good new players so we would hope to be up there challanging in all competitions. The problem last year was drawing too many games so if we can socre a few more goals I would be hopeful of a good campaign :o :) :ball:

Ok. From your knowledge of the clare league past & present, along with a few other things I thought you might have been an old team mate of mine.
If you are around that long I've either played with or against you.
Moving on, who is the best player you have come up against over the years?

we may crossed paths ... not 100% sure who u are ...

to many good players who tormented me ... but will name a few

bernard collins newmarket a centre forward
colm (blackie) mounsey avenue
damian lindsay shannon town / newtown

plus one i never played against to many time thank god

when he was fit & up for it paul (bunny) carr ... what a waste of talent

sorry if i left a few out....

what about yourself ... must have a few opponents who you rate highly :D :D :D

good choices, there have been some great players over the years. I'd add
Sean Lindsay(damian's brother), Mannix(in his prime), + Kieran Collins(bernards brother).
Bunny was tops on natural ability but probably bottom on attitude/dedication.
