no avenue did not organise anything he is thinking of coming back to us but hasnt signed anything yet! i suggest ye try to sign him maybe the thought of a crisp 50 every week would tempt him! nah i doubt it he would certainly tell ye where to go.... in fairness though he would be a much better signing than wilson and for free too...

for everyone else, truth be told the early signs are the same as last season- we are playing in a bad league with bad teams, none of which can hold any consistent form!

I have to agree.The standard appears to be rubbish.No team(I havent seen them all) seems to be able to put together any sort of winning form.I know the grass always looks greener in the dim past ,but for 10 years Newtown,who had a team that would whack any of the current sides,were second to that great Avenue team of the 80s.
It makes it even more ironic that all that seems to be talked about is the standard of refs.What about the poor standard of player??????????????

too many tippy-tap, weak and windy players playing today.The attitude, work ethic and physical strength of years gone by is sadly lacking in a lot of cases. Lots of "nice" players with lovely boots and wonderful flicks but very little end product. There are not as many good solid players around these days. But that seems to be the case across the whole country..there must be a reason for it??

Thats seems correct.The skills are there ,but no balls guts or brains.Is it possible that the better athletes or some of the better athletes are opting for other sports eg rugby and gaa.How else can you explain no under 11 team from Shannon in the schoolboys??It appears that Ennis is doing a lot of work but they may be competing for players too much against each other and not concentrating on improving the players they have on the pitch??When is the last time we had a Shannon player on the Clare Kennedy cup team??

Lads i believe we will have an extra ref this weekend,good source tells me that P Dunne is returning,
i know your feelings on him from this site, but i think best of luck to him,we need as many as we can now.

the standard is very very very very very very poor.

Let me add, if i was to see a ref in Clare have a good game then i would applaude them but i can't. I'd love to beleave me i would but i can't.:(

What did you make of the ref in the Bunratty v Newtown game. The grapevine has it that he handled the game o.k.

MOD EDIT:
Unless its a fact you can't just think out loud here.Accusations like that have to be backed up by evidence (as in where and when).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no accusation or derogatory comment?.They both helped us out when we needed it.For that I was thankful.The point I was making was they went back to Limerick of their own accord.

---

It was the reply to your post that was edited and not what you posted.Your post was fine.
I should have made that clearer.

Ref was Dave McCarthy and he was very good as all agreed afterwards. He was very fair and set his stall out early. Game was played in good spirit with little or no serious incidents. The thing with this ref is that you can actually talk to him which makes a massive difference.

Just saw next weeks fixtures.... What a joke! We've to travel to Liscannor again this Sunday for league game against Moher and whats worse its at 2pm this week, so our whole day is totally gone!
It could have at least been left a couple of weeks...

At least ye will be finished with Moher away which is always a tough game. Good win for ye yesterday. Who got you're goal?

Our usual goalie Adrian Duhig got the important goal, we were short players yesterday, injuries and funerals, so Adrian played as a make shift centre forward. Tough game, Moher in fairness get the ball down and try to play and no doubt it'll be just as tough next Sunday... Hopefully we'll come away with the same result.

Murphman I,m surprised at you.You know last weeks game was a Munster Cup match and this week is a league game so its just a coincidence!!My understanding is that Michael Lydon purposely puts this game on in the afternoon because of the long travel distance involved???Thats generally felt to be the right thing to do.He just cant win!!!!

I suppose theres two sides to every story, with the rain thats forecast for the next few days it'll probably be called off anyway...

Mohers pitch is fairly good though, found it very heavy last week with the grass being a bit too long, slowed both teams down alot. Well not me, cause I'm slow all the time!!:D

I must report this directly to my old mate Joe Ahern that one of the players is looking for more training as the current regime is not keeping him fit enough!!!!!!!
