include carr on his ability alone ... even if he only played a while in clareOriginally Posted by Truth Meister
They are not my rules at all, it makes sense to take into account the number of games the players have played in the league. You will find that all the above bar D Wall (6 years) and Crusher (2 years??)had one season out of clare and the rest in Clare. I dont think that would exclude them. My main point was that Paul Carr played 6 months football in Clare over the last 10 years - how can you include him on that basis??

What's wrong with including players who left the Clare League for a year or two? I think the players in question did enough to merit a place in the team of the decade, just because they played in Limerick for a year or two shouldn't be a reason not to include them although I agree that Bunny Carr shouldn't be in the team because he only played 6 months.
OK Lads why don;t we restrict the picking to players that have played only in the CDSL -
CDSL Cup Champions 2008 / 2009 / 2011 / 2013 / 2014 - CDSL League Champions 2010/11 - - - - - - 2011 /12

are we putting in 2 different teams as well , like planners has??
a decade consists of 10 yrs so players who have been in clare for a lot of that ten yrs should be in it. surely collie was not playing in the 2000's
plenty of good teams there, youd have thought clare would have featured a lot more in the lattter stages of the oscar more.
collie would have been in his early 30tys back at start of decade and he also played for newmarket b for the last 2 seasons
why not just pick players you think were the best in last decade
wether they only played 1-2 or longer in clare alot of good players out their who moved to other leagues / injured etc
" football is a simple game "

You're being a bit bias including one or two Bridge Utd players there Premrepand you've left out players from your shortlist that baffles me. Fairly sure that skinny wasn't at Newmarket the year they won the league, maybe he was out with ye for the two leagues
? A lot of question marks over a few big omissions from your shortlist
Correction: 3 Premier medals!!
Yeah, I'm sure I've left lads out. I can only base it on lads I played against or played with. Correct me if I'm wrong but all of the players on my list including shortlist played all their football in Clare?? Think Derel Byrne and Dave Russell may have had stints in Limerick?
Skinny won one prem with Bridge and I think one with Newtown but is he the only ever present Premier League keeper in the decade??

" football is a simple game "
its the team of the 2000-2010 decade, not the 1990's
fonzo was class, hard as nails fearless
Lads please this site was opened for the Clare team of the decade ,how it turned into an Avenue team of the decade il never know . Please open up an Avenue thread if ye want to discuss this before the rest of us get sick from looking at it .
2000-2010 is 11 years so that makes it impossible to be a decade.
This thread is Clare League - Team of the Decade (for the 2000-2009 decade), and no where in the criteria does it ask for an Avenue team of the decade so no need for the Avenue heads to be taking a trip down memory lane on this forum. The Avenue website could do with a few hits so head off there with that kind of tripe
