Ref available for pre-season games. PM for number
Division 2 will be short two teams now without Albion and BallyPatrick. Bit of a shock alright with ballypatrick folding what went wrong for them
Rumours that the Manager went to Old Bridge and some of the players went with him and things just fell apart. Sorry to see a fairly new club that seemed to be doing all the right things go out of football. I'd say only 1 from last seasons div 2 will go down and one of the 3 teams that finished tied 3rd in Div 3 might be asked if they would be willing to go into Div 2. Then only one would go down in Div 3 to even things up again.
Not much transfer talk goin on are teams finding it hard to get new players in or people just aint bothered with this forum anymore.
There is a real shortage of players this season. Youths football looks like being down to just 7 teams
A big problem as well is the standard of youth football,it's just not producing the players for clubs junior teams that it once did,clonmel town and saints could have joined together last year and you wouldn't have picked a good team between them and that's very unusual for both clubs
The standard of football in south tipp schoolboys is dropping. The U14 kennedy Cup Team this year came 31st of 32 leagues. In the last 5 years this marker of the state of football in each league has seen south Tipp fall away to just an also ran. This will impact on youth football and the Junior leagues for years to come.
League have decided due to 3 clubs leaving football that they will not relegate the bottom 2 teams from last seasons Div's 2 and 3.
Thats probably the best thing to do keep the numbers even enough in each divison. Think prem will come down to michaels and celtic, town havin really improved on last year well from what ive heard they havent roll on 24/25th of august.
Who haves Celtic and Michaels added? What do you mean about 24/25 August
People forget town went the league unbeaten
Weekend of 24th/25th is the start of the season.
I dunno have they signed but Wack o donnell and Aaron moroney have been trainig with celtic plus signed a keeper dave cummins i think his name is. Michaels have a few signed from limerick plus the keeper from cahir. Who have town signed? And they lost a great player in raymie condon be hard to replace. Season is starting that weekend.
Wack scored a hat trick for Cahir the other night. Moroney would be a great signing if he sticks it out. The keeper from Kilkenny, I was told by an Evergreen man at the Town match last week that he couldn't make Evergreen B team. Raymie hard to replace but Town have signed a few. We will see. Just don't think Town can be dismissed.
Didn no that about wack doubt he has signed so aaron be great signing tho. I think celtic dont need much anyway jus keep there sqaud from last year together problem is in goal tho with richie out be hard to get someone as good and by the sounds of it the lad from evergreen isn up to much.
You have to remember the reason Wack has been playing with Cahir and Ballypatrick is because he was never a regular starter for Celtic once they got in all the top players,scoring goals in the first division doesn't change that,he will be good back up, Moroney is a fantastic signing as is Aaron Wall going to Saints,not sure who from Limerick has come in so they are the only real transfers of note
I disagree in my opinion paddy wack Is the best striker in Tipperary, the reason he hasn't played premier in the last couple of years is because he doesn't train and is fond of the beer.
"If my best mate wasn't a heroin addict he could have won gold in 100m in olympics".....how many times have we all heard that one, he was a sub against kilbarrack and in all the big games because there were simply better players available to Karl and Kenny,you can be sure there are players at Saints/Town and Celtic who are poor trainers but are in the first 11 because they are too good to leave out,that's part and parcel of junior football
