Lads,just for the record,about players getting paid.

Any time we allow this to be talked about the first thing that happens is that foot.ie gets an email or a registered letter from the club concerned saying they don't pay their players and threatining legal action if we don't remove it so for the moment we can't discuss it.

AVE beat us yesterday - wasnt at the match but hear that a draw would have been a fair result - ref a bit biased but as usual the " top" teams get the rub of the green !

Avenue were better than Rineanna yesterday but the Ref was poor,so much for the home team getting the benefit of the doubt.It was not seen yesterday.Rineanna tryed hard and really matched avenue in the first half but the introduction of Gary Flynn and general improvment proved too much for the Rineanna

Planners you know having to conform to someone's agenda wouldn't be my way.

Sure what exactly can they do? This site isn't a news site with articles saying this or that club are paying their players its a public forum, they couldn't sue me if I told somebody they pay their players out on the street no more than they could sue this site for me saying on here, no club should have the power to get things removed from here. If you don't want us to talk about it I won't but I think whether we like it or not it is a part of junior soccer and we should be allowed discuss it on here..........the place where everyone goes to discuss junior soccer.

McDonalds have awful food........................(just wondering will you have to delete that just in case McDonalds sue?)

Lads, congrats to Padraig Sutton on being appointed as fourth official for the Champions league match between FC Cluj and Basel. It's great for Clare soccer that someone from the "clare soccer family" has reached that level.

A team of Irish match officials will take charge of a Champions League group stage match for the first ever time this Wednesday, signalling a major breakthrough for Irish referees.

Alan Kelly will become the first ever Irish referee to take charge of a Champions League group stage fixture when he leads a team of Irish officials for the Group E fixture between CFR Cluj (Romania) and Basel (Switzerland).

Six Irish match officials will be involved in the fixture - Kelly (Cork) will be assisted by Damien McGrath (Mayo) and Ken Hennessy (Cork), while Anthony Buttimer (Cork) and Neil Doyle (Dublin) will be the additional assistant referees, and Padraigh Sutton (Clare) will act as Fourth Official.

Five of the officials are graduates of the FAI Referees School of Excellence. Kelly, Doyle and Sutton graduated from the first Referee School of Excellence, which ran from 1998 to 2000, while McGrath and Hennessy graduated in 2002 and 2004 respectively.

Ya congrats to padraic, in fairness to him he is a very good referee. Doesnt feel intimidated by sending players off for verbal abuse and sending players off in the usually tough away grounds.

Congrats to Padraic , good referee , handled Newmarket / Bunratty game last week very well . Has respect for players and will also engage with them rather than lecture, is also quick to point out when they are pushing their luck. This attitude reflects well as the players and managers respond positively from the way he handles the game.
