but rightboy do you think you might be showing your cards to the big teams too early and in the case of a bad defeat to the opposite side, u mite be starting the real business of the season on the wrong foot
Ah here this forum has gone mad,the John Delaney Cup (A PRE SEASON tournament) has just been labelled as important as the Tipperary Cup,thats the exact same as saying the Emirates Cup (a pre season tournament) is as important to Arsenal etc as winning the FA Cup (a domestic cup) Rightboy you are on fire lately
I might be wrong but I don't think the Delaney cup is pre season it's an official recognised comp by the tsdl as I said I might be wrong on this no nonsense you might be able to clarify the status of it
As for it's benefit a winning habit is a good thing you can get badly beaten in a challenge game as u know saints/ town did not play full teams in it last few years but blooded players as they do in tipp cup anyway as we know no top junior team shows their hand in aug/ sept , I suppose each club is different on the way they view this
its an optional competition, that says enough
Yes optional no dispute there but also a recognised comp as per the tsdl website roll of honours list . As I said it's still really in it's infancy but a good concept
well footballfanatic your hardly coming up with choice conversation yourself are you? i hear town are entering a tournament in waterford, anyone know the teams involved?
with talks on this site of half of towns team being from north tipp in nenagh and thurles surely logistically delaney cup would suit them better than travelling down to waterford for a tournament
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Is it just me or is anyone else puzzled as to why someone would want to travel the length of the county (i.e. Nenagh to Clonmel) to play soccer when they have 2 good junior teams in Nenagh. After all its only amateur football???Originally Posted by balls
well i believe that these two guys are totally dedicated to football and partake in no other sports and really wanted a challenge to play with one of the top junior clubs in ireland, cant blame them for that, as you said both nenagh sides are good but maybe that isnt enough for them
The only player they have lost from the starting 11 vs Michaels is Evan Mcguire but hes in a bit of bother as he signed and is registered with Town and he signed for celtic aswel....and in fairness smurf and stephen ryan couldnt make the team so i wouldnt count them as major losses....The 2 guys from nenagh are getin on very well their attitude is excellent and will be great additions this season i have to be honest i think Town could be very strong this year and with it been Jamies 2nd year in charge i think he will have learned a lot from last year and hel be a stronger manager this year...It will be interesting league this year,i see the wilderness signed a few of the clonmel celtic youths have to say tho i seen them play last week and they looked very weak it could be a struggle for them this year.
I'm surprised town let Evan go cause he was one of their better youth players over the last few years , was there a falling out or something cause I tell you I was really impressed with him against saints last year in Cooke pk where he had little or no support from his striking partner when town dropped right back in the game he really led the line well his a loss to them no doubt
Chops are you sure about Thurles lads staying as ted o Connors dad had been appt no 2 at peake villa or is this only one of these rumours going about
there was a big split in our club this year and it didnt look like we were going to have an A-Team, the two boys have no interest in playing for nenagh town so as they see clonmel as a great club and a chace of winning a big cup it was the obvious choice, like bilko said both are soccer only and have a brilliant attitude towards training and will be a good adition to clonmel and we wish them the best of luck.
ya its true alright but o connor wont be going back nor will the other thurles lads id say. i think bridges have been burned between the boys and certain people at the club. anyway i dont think it would make sense
spoke to a lad out in a pub in clonmel tonight and he told me that things are buzzing at Clonmel Town, he is delighted with pre-season, one of the best preps in years and the new additions are impressive, this guy has been round the block for years and is very hopeful for the coming season, as he put it, quoted as sayin, Town have got rid of the "me feiners" and cant wait for the season to start
Sgt bilko I agree with u in terms of Stephen ryan but the likes of barnsey, smurf and Evan who all would be on starting 11 losing these quality players it must be a worry for whatever reason they left , I know town are bringing in 6/7 new players but it will take time for them to settle / bed in as a team from my point of few it's certainly a gamble for town and I said earlier with teds dad back at peake who knows how that situation may pan out maybe it's what town needed a clear out what your thought s on this sgt bilko / lads
I understand some of your points about players gelling together but personally having seen these new lads training its like as if they have been with Town for years as i said the Nenagh Celtic lads have an exceptional attitude towards training they are first there every night credit must be givin to them for what they are doing remember these guys looked to play for Town...Evan Mcguire is leaving on his own accord but my bet would be hes facing into a hefty ban as hes registered with Town but then signed for celtic...and smurf couldnt make the first 11 but i do agree he is a good player they also have Ronan Stanley back who is a very good player...Barnes left for reasons last year nothing they can do about it plus they won the league without these players last year as Sgt Bilko said there is a great buzz in the club this year hopefully things will work out
Also Ted is going nowhere hes happy at Town hes really going to be at his best this year his fitness levels already is amazing
Yeah that situation wont change the 3 lads were asked to come back to Villa and they declined and the club are happy to move on without them,i have never seen Ted look so fit though,he must have lost a couple of stone at least,wish him and the lads the best
well my understanding was steven ryan and darren burns left because they were dropped and were not first choice, dunno the situation about maguire but he surely will be a loss, barnes left as well and they still had enough to beat st michaels who were the best team in the country last year on their own patch
how are peake looking megatots. have they brought in any new players??
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
