teams must be champing at the bit to get games at this stage

Must be said they got it right after the cold and frost we got last night, roads were terrible, is it set to continue?

have a look at the 10 day forecast on this site - no real sign of improvement up to Saturday week - this could go on for a while
And a big shout out to Devilfish and Cousin syl both celebrating 10 years of blissful marriage today

Strange that the thread wasn't closed after that offensive remark towards us. I've been banned for a lot less than that 12th man.

I'm not fully aware of the "relationship?" between you,it didn't seem that offensive to me.

Sorry Devilfish didn't mean to be offensive , during this dry spell its important that we keep the thread on Page 1 , anyway things not as bright as they used to be ?

**avenueC** · 19/01/2010, 12:25 PM

interesting draw,,

a few shocks i would think

**avenueC** · 19/01/2010, 4:33 PM

1st round for rock is a tough one and if they get thru then the 2nd round is as tough for bridge or rock
bunratty wont have it easy against moher,
shannoon oly against tulla is also a sticky one
so thats a few premier teams handed tough assignements

**Scobie** · 21/01/2010, 9:39 AM

Incorrect. Oscars won 5-3 with depleted squad. They gave the Youths 2 players for second half also.

Youths looked like a side who could play but were a little light. Is it fair to say there are a few underage next year?

It was 7-1 but that Galway side were last years beaten finalists and have 4 effectively full-time players on the FAS scheme, including one lad who got 4 of the goals for them, starts for Merview in the LoI and starts for the Oscar Traynor junior team too.

What are you on about? I simply stated the facts, it's not an excuse. Rubbish post tbh.

So you think it'd be a fair match between 11 LoI and 11 youths? Really?!

And how does losing 7-1 show a lack of ambition? You're actually trying to say the the fact they lost against one of the exceptional teams in the country shows a lack of ambition?!! So nobody on or associated with the team had ambition to win this match? And this is proven because they lost the match by a big margin?!!!

Your logic is absolutely faultless...

We won't go into what you "heard"!...

maybe ambition was to high bit of a tough game playing against loi 11 players . and unfortunatly heavy defeat may have a negative effect on team .. could management not arranged game aginst a weaker opposition
