cheers hacker and first,
im like a guy going into confession... forgive me father it has been a few months since my last post on foot.ie

anyways the whole fixture thing is popping up again with paddys coming about.. the way i see it is the GAA have the all ireland club final on that day so y not have a game of ball and pints afterwards.
if the weather is good dont be making excuses not to play a game, as for fellas going away for the weekend , thats always going to happen in junior soccer just get on with it.

Can we keep references about the gaa off foot and out of the clare league please. we hear enough from the papers. from what iv seen this year the league can go on without any GAA players playing envolved so I dont think any fixtures should be based around the GAA's. Honestly is it not time we move on from this?

hopefully the newtown pitch will be ok for the game on sunday, should be a hard fought game. im predicting newtown to win 2-0 or 3-1. any more predictions

i can see how you missed my point with this.
my point is if the gaa can have their biggest club day of the year on paddys day then why cant we have a game of ball on the same day... thats all.
dont use paddys day as an excuse to cancel games... if the pitches are good we should play

0-0 draw

**Spudd** · 02/03/2007, 1:04 PM

Newtown to win easy by at least 2 goals...Olympic wont score!

**brutus** · 02/03/2007, 1:22 PM

at least 3-0 newtown with the form cheeky and razor are in.they are playing very well together and are capable of killing off teams.

**Offside** · 02/03/2007, 1:58 PM

I heard ray has 5 goals in his last 3 games... he's on fire at the minute. for a player who hasn't been playin all season he's really showing his worth, fair play to him for sticking it out. I'd say it'll be a cracker providing the pitch holds up. Too many people writing off olympic i think, including myself but anything is possible in a derby game.

you are right there offside anything can happen in a derby,its going to be a big game for both clubs,olympic needing points to stay in the division,newtown also needing the three points to stay in touch with moher.personally i think if newtown dont win the title is slipping away for another season..

S.O. took 4 points from 2 relegation battles,scored 12 in the cup last week and 3-0 is predicted for them too loose?????
What odds are you giving???

**Spudd** · 02/03/2007, 2:34 PM

Them signings were nearly as good as the fella who gave you that information.

Teryy Dougan will be playin all right so i dont no were you got that. Maybe it was cheeky after all he did say he would not be playin aswell.

and Steven Carroll is injured so i dont see how that makes him a bad signin.

Rob Wall is injured to. Suppose that makes him a bad signin and all.

**spoongebob** · 02/03/2007, 3:16 PM

It's like the build up to the old firm ****ing hell. Best of luck to shannon olympic nobody gives you much off a chance so heres hoping either a miracle or a surprize is going to happen at the weekend you never know with derby games.

First league derby in a good few years so everyone is looking forward to it.
Of course Olympic have a chance, they have a decent side and are on a good run. There is very little between the two teams and the game could go either way. Whoever wants it more and makes the least mistakes on the day
will win.
