Ah good aul liam, he got lost on the way to Wembely.
Poor decisions go for and against teams thats just soccer, for every one you get, another one goes against you. Best thing is to ignore him at the best of times.........

I was at the game between rovers and rathkeale from half time onwards.all rathkeale in second half..penalty was a bad decision i think..it looked like it hit the midfielders chest but the ref gave a peno even tin he had his back turned to the ref..weak laughin when he blew offside when peter o dea headed the ball backwards..all ways centre of attention..
I dont think Rathkeale will be too worried about them. Lets be fair here, the only decent teams they played (Shannonside and NCW) they only picked up a point......Broadford were missing all the footballers and so were abbeyfeale the lads said, Shane O'Hanlon and Seanie Gleeson in the back 4. I am not having a go at them, they are a very decent side, just giving an opinion
Newcastle afc 0-0 broadford united. Very quiet game from both side with full sides..none of the keepers tested in the game..
Ya Rathkeale are very young up front and just lacking a small bit of fire power but with Barry o'Riordan, Seamus Caroll & Damien Quaid to come back into it over the next 3-4 weeks Rathkeale will have plenty of options up front once again.
Upcoming weekends fixtures, a break away from the league for most. You would expect both Ballingarry & Askeaton to come through their 1st Rnd ties, Bunratty 4 pts from 4 games in the Clare League, & Lifford bottom of the table 0 pts from 4 games.
Abbey & Carrig should be the pick of the Munster Jnr games you'd think. Cant see any of the lower division teams pulling off a shock, but then you'd never know on the day

Heard there is a fella in Rathkeale giving odds of 33-1 for Rathkeale to win the premier league this season.
hope he isnt a bookmaker....he wont last long in the business giving odds like that!
Seriously though i reckon rathkeale have a great chance this year..saw them play ballingarry and was impressed..in years gone past they never had a problem scoring goals, just needed to tighten up a bit at the back and deliver consistent performances....
There was always this perception out there in previous seasons that if you get amongst them they dont like it! ....have they managed to get rid of that yet? Couldnt tell much from the ballingarry match as both teams tried to play ball!
Id agree that Rathkeale have a serious chance this year, but who have they played yet, Askeaton, Newcastle and Broadford have all played 3 of the top 5 teams already, Abbeyfeale have played 2 and Rathkeale have played 1. Rathkeale have palyed 4 of the bottom 5, They have played a bad Glin team and played Ballingarry, Shannonside and Newcastle when they were still involved in GAA
And when Askeaton played Broadford and Abbeyfeale, were they not involved in the GAA?
Shannonside were missing the same ammount of players for Rathkeale and Askeaton. Newcastle had no GAA players missing for the Rathkeale game or the Askeaton game, and the Rathkeale team are still without 3 or 4 of their starting 11 since the season began, 6 of who were out for the glin game.
You cant judge anything yet and Rathkeale are still a good bit away from full strength................2 first choice strikers still to come back.
Askeaton were definately at full strength against Abbey, and I think they were at full strength against Broadford and Newcastle as well, Newcastle were missing players against Rathkeale compared to the team they had last Sunday. All I'm saying is that of the 5 matches Rathkeale have played, 4 of them have been against teams in the bottom 5, True or False
