Can't see how this weak league from last season will suddenly be a strong league this season. The introduction of Granville 3 wins out of 22 premier games and Wembley 1 point out of a possible 66 will hardly raise the standards of 1A. Killmallock with their first 11 on the pitch will be the only shining light on this league.
town should at least be up there challenging. gone backwards last 2 seasons
Agreed way too much hype and no end result last 2 years.. but football in shannon is gone to pot..too many clubs meaning no lotalty to any one team.. you'd also have to question the qualifications of coaches in shannon..how many have fai coaching badgesQuote:

I have no doubt that Donal will have an idea who he will bring with him, as he always does. maybe a few of the journey men in Shannon might join him for a short while, until they spit the dummy and go elsewhere.
Btw where was all the hype from Town, I did not see hear of it much?
I don't think he will get any of the so called journey men as they are all gone to olympic and got promoted last year so can't see them dropping dowm from premier in clare .. can you ?? Only players from hibs that would be good enough for town would be robby wall and young alan cole and from what ive heard hibs will struggle for a team this year as it is..Quote:

I think you are on about Alex Cole? nearly 100% positive he is joining Olympic, hibs will more than likely struggle, No Derek Maxwell no Alex Cole and cant really see Quirkey staying down there for another season. Ye back training Lev? the B team is afaikQuote:

The only posts talking about players signing for clubs is from the Shannon teams yet again. Maybe if you all stop posting about the average players joining other clubs it would be to everyone's benefit. As I have said before the managers are worse for accepting it. They are small fish in big ponds. Let them do what they want. Half of them don't play because they love the game. They play because they love the attention they get. Give me the lesser players who will give 100% each training session and game and if I were a manager I'd be proud. Christ it's the same thing every year. Lots of talk no action!

Name 11 players so in shannon who will turn up for every training and give 100% .. I bet you can't. . Can't blame a manager if lads want to sign for this team or that team.. I'm sure every manager thinks they can change the players attitude..Quote:

Personal glory for the sake of the club.
Some players you can tell don't give a flying f*** what the manager is saying they are the same players who do the club hopping.
You can't change a players attitude IMO they either have a good attitude and understand what is involved in trying to win or they don't.
It's junior football for the most part the average player are just average because of the horrible attitude they have. There's no I in team giving average players a ego massage contradicts that.
How come in limerick there doesn't be half as much talk about players moving here there and everywhere?
I think it's because they don't condone it.
Football in the town is a joke because we made it that way. Managers players and supporters. We are all responsible enough said.

sure at least there is something tangible there. The players mentioned above move cause they can't get in one team, they don't go to training and get spoken to, they like a drink on a night before and get spoken to, can't get out of bed for a match get spoken to, laugh after heavy defeats etc get spoken to, don't try hard enough and somebody has the balls to not play them or take them off and they can't understand it. There is the other side where a manager plays these players head of others.Quote:

Loyality is very low on order.
All in all just to get lads out playing football at the moment is a massive achievement by any club.
completely agree with this statement, alot of the big club players in town have hopped clubs, expenses or no expenses the lack of loyalty out there is nearly as bad, we might not here of it as much recently on this because the constant debate over shannon clubs/players, the limerick lads have got fed up over it!Quote:
