mayigi, if u read it properly i was sayin lest i be accused of arrogance by sayin avenue totally outplayed rhine i waited till the paper backed me up by agreeing totally with me. how could i say something incorrect? unless u consider rhine scoring a goal against them as a major achievement and they would see that as a moral victory
pathetic attempt at the use of sarcasm
just to clear upsomthing. avenue beat rhine rovers because they were ready for them. it was a potential banana skin. we treated them with repect they deserve. they are not a 3rd div team ra 2nd for that matter. i'd even go as far as predict they will be a prem team in 4 years. they seem to have a very good manager, good players and their training sessions look good. we approached the game in the right frame of mind and got the result we wanted and deserved. yes we would like to have a lower team but we have been kicked in the teeth by b team before most noteably avenue b. sometimes its easier to play a top team in that respect. people that know soccer will know what i'm on about? as for bunratty on their day can beat any team as i believe they have under acieved with their squad this year. their is a fine line between confidence and arragance.(ie the boss) yes we are confident we can beat them or any other team for that matter but not arragant to know that we could be beaten just as easy. newmarket have that belief and swagger this year (with good reason) and i wouldn't call it arragance. if you don't go into every game believing u can win stay at home.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
that'd be about the size of it
Just a question about Rhine Rovers. Do they still play in Quinn in the same pitch??
If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
Dont think so. They play their home games on the lower pitch of the fairgreen or sometimes in Lee's Road.
Avenue v Kildysert - home win
Newtown v Bridge Celtic - home win
Burren v Lifford - Away win
Moher v Newmarket - Home win
Bunratty v Rineanna - home win
Avenue back on top after the weekend. Whats yer views on the relegation battle?
darly eade playing well with avenue?
The relegation battle is going to be one of the closest in years by the looks of things.
I have been away for a while but apart from the top 3 everyone else seems to be involved.
Burren, Moher and Bunratty are all playing at home the weekend and will be looking for 3 points but everone is scrapping for results so I don't think any of the teams will have it easy.
Newtown ( going on their cup runs ) look to be the strongest of the sides down there and will probably be the more confident of all the sides of getting out of trouble.
Will the curse that hit Bridge Utd last year hit Bridge Cel this year and get relegated after winning the Premier?

This happened to Newtown last time they league was won. I know the year after they won it, most of the squad left and had to field B-team players that couldn't get a game with the B-team.
Not saying that Bridge Celtic will go down this year but
is the same problem happening out in Bridge Town.

Reckon its too hard to call between lifford,avenue and newmarket for the title but they will make up the final 3 come the end of the season.
newtown will finish fourth in my opinion and could have been a title challenger had they not dropped needless points
As for the relegation side of the league, i agree that it will be tight but i can see kildysart and burren going straight down with bunratty in the play-off.
I would just like to congratulate Rhine rovers on winning the clare leagues team of the month for February. Just incase ye might think i was a bit down on them last week before cup game against Avenue![]()
"Reckon its too hard to call between lifford,avenue and newmarket for the title but they will make up the final 3 come the end of the season."
1st Avenue, 2nd Lifford, 3rd Newmarket

Afraid I have to agree with you tulla b.
If it is as the award suggests a team of the month then what is the criteria for winning it. I won't take anything away from Rhine Rovers who have had a phenominal season and are probably the most improved team in the whole league and deserve any accolades that come their way.
Do the clubs know what is needed to win this award? I think not.
Glad that its not just for the top teams though but would like to know how its judged if anyone out there knows.
