fair enough, have to respect your opinion. 11 v 11 on the day and i guess none of us will know anything about each other. hopefully we should do the business and progress into last 16!! we're fairly confident of winning up here!!

Makes for a very good game then..with confidents high i hope ye wont be too down at the end

On a serious note tho..at this stage of the comp and at this age group form goes out the window,you dont get what you might out of young men week in week out. too many distactions

..o to be young again haha.
Best of luck to both teams.

ye wanted it more on the day and in the second half when the going got tough, our lads didn't want to know.

Not sure what you mean considering its up to teams behind them to catch up. How come Rineanna game was called off, did ye use a life line? Maybe it was the phone-a-friend one??

Ya heard it was 'a fast one' by Rovers to get the game off

**Planners** · 03/03/2009, 8:27 AM

Nothing behind this lads - both teams caught and showing good spotsmanship { nice to see it again } both teams agreed to postpone the game - with consent of the Clare league may I add - As you know Rineanna are not involved and never are in any under handed tactics -

**chappie** · 03/03/2009, 5:33 PM

Lads does anyone know whether there will be matches scheduled for Paddy's day.....

**Carotheplayer** · 03/03/2009, 6:03 PM

Have it on good authority that there is going to be a full list on Tuesday 17th.

what about the burren v lifford game.

i see in the people today that lifford are writing to the clare league about this..in fairness what can league do if ref won't play the game..burren manager stated that he knew 40 mins before game to change socks..he tried 2 other clubs but wit no luck..in all fairness when has this rule ever been applied before..i'd say never.didn't they play each other twice last year and nothing was said.the refs have a thankless job, but bringing in these rules in the middle of the league is madness...i know the ref involved and i think he is the best ref every to ref in clare..and with his ability as a ref he would have had no problem refereing this game.if lifford get awarded this game.the league will turn into a shambles..it will give lifford 3 easy points.and the burren will have to be docked 3 points as per the rules.putting them into relegation zone..

Burren v Lifford being called off was a joke. Does anyone know who was reffin out in Janesboro Sunday? The Limerick and Tipp lads on the other forums are slating them.

But regarding the clash of colours I doubt there were will be points awarded or docked with Burren and Lifford, similar incident last season with Newmarket and Bunratty. The game was re-fixed and The Rats just lost home advantage. If points weren't awarded then, there is no hope of Lifford getting a handy 3 for this

Disappointed that there are fixtures to be honest. Not necessary!

**Avenue1990** · 04/03/2009, 8:48 AM

Totally seperate point here but just looking at the fixtures for the weekend - is it not a bit harsh on Moher travelling down to Bridge town for a 11am kick off on sunday?

**Planners** · 04/03/2009, 10:06 AM

I'm surprised they didn't leave it for a midweek game

**Carotheplayer** · 04/03/2009, 9:34 PM

It is a sad day when a Clare League Premier Division Club cannot manage to gather alternative socks. Everyone in the entire league knows Lifford wear Red and low and behold they have an entire white kit too to ensure what happened in Doolin does not happen in Cassidy Park.

The fixtures are posted online on a Sunday evening, Tuesday in the Clare People and for good measure Thursday in the Champion. Can't say you couldn't see it coming.

Terrible shame the Burren manager didn't bother to pick up the phone, contact Lifford and avoid the problem. Easy blame the Referee at the 11th hour. ...

They'll have alternative socks next time I bet

**Carotheplayer** · 04/03/2009, 9:50 PM

was speaking to a lad from newmarket. they played burren in newmarket 2 weeks ago both teams ad red socks (youths league i think).

referee was m. o' brien. he told them he would not play the game with both teams in red socks. newmarket changed as they were the home team, were prepared and wore a different colour sock. d. garrihy was there.

The two teams must wear colours that distinguish them from each other and also the referee and the assistant referees. This is the rule in the law book. Burren knew well in advance of the problem and did nothing about it so why should Lifford be penalised? If Burren can't be bothered keeping up standards just as the other teams do then should they get away with it? It's the home team that has the responsibility and Burren have been around long enough to know they should have 2 sets of gear in case they have to change. The ref wasn't the problem and the league should only enforce the rules and show that we have a standard to maintain. By the same token the referees branch should enforce the consistency across the referees. At least that way we wouldn't end up with this situation.
