I didnt know he was a founding member,big loss to the club alright,he loves the game too much to not be in it,thats why some of these storys are true about offers from clubs in town.

but if you have a few pints in old lodge i'm sure the lads will let you know what went on at agm..

That's probobly where they held the AGM, First issue on the agenda was could it be turned into a weekly general meeting...

Jimmy Rocks is a big loss but sometimes change is good only time will tell. Will be a good asset to any other club. Clare League has an opening with Oscar Traynor?? Would Jim be interested?

probally have to wait on new commitee getting aapplication for manager posts... area final won last year ... still a trophy

if they aint worthwhile winning why do all teams in clare keep entering both munster juinor / fai or at least then refuse to play area finals ..

**shelbourne1904** · 27/06/2007, 2:38 PM

Simple answer to that is they want to play in the FAI and Munster cups not the area finals.

fair point ,,, would you call an area final not worth winning .. surely club could refuse to play an area final or give a walkover then if they dont want to play in area finals

That could be big trouble for Olympic, they could regret sacking Colm as he did in fairness put alot into Olympic over the last few years.

Do you know who these players are, go on give us the names

Best of luck to the Schoolboy League as they begin the move forward to Summer Soccer this evening.
The Junior League will be watching with interest.

**Bannerman** · 28/06/2007, 9:19 AM

Yes, I echo those sentiments (even though the weather is doing its best to not make it summer like). The schoolboys league are very professional in their set up so I have no doubt that things will go well for the league.

he may have put a lot in but the season did not go to well also heard senior olympic people unhappy about team selections / formations last season ... especially formations seemed to change every weeks 3 5 2 formations 5 3 2 etc also seen a good few olympic games last year they had a lot of average / poor players
i would hope they all dont deceide to jump ship now ..

Above are the numbers that Olympic corner taker shouted before he kicked the ball into the box

Can anyone remember that happening.

I hear that James Bullman is taking over the Managers job, wonder if he'll sign many new players cos if he doesn't and last years players leave he'll be in trouble before season kicks off.

The players were to blame for olympics poor season.The effort was just not put in.6-7 players turning up for training every week.These so called Senior olympic people had no problem with the managers formation changes the season before when things went very well.To be honest the formation only changed when the manager was let down by players being away,working or injured.He tried to play players in their best position.Colm was made a scapegoat by olympics SENIOR people.Now they have last years b team manager in charge which is funny because that team will probably be their A team.

Yeah I remember that , it was the same evening that Jimmy H. came off

early as he thought he had the winning numbers.

not having a go at manager ... i played long enough to know know how hard it is .. also looked after a youth team for one season,, put me of management for ever ... i was just saying what a olympic committe member was telling me .. good luck to anybody who is brave or mad enough to look after any team

fair point .. as you mentioned no problems with tactics with things went well the year before ... always the easy option to blame manager when things go wrong... what is the story about 6-7 players now leaving to join him at rineanna ... looks like the players then had no problem with his management style ..

Ya, was a bad call from the ref to send him off, i couldn't see anything wrong with the challange on the last man on his way to an almost certain goal
