Clare League 2013/14

[footballfriend]

Any reports on midweek games? Good win for Tulla away!

[newlad]

Yes good win for Tula, bridge deserved something from it, they were crap in the first half, all the Tula goals were against the run of play,
Went up to see bridge v lifford B Friday night, teams on the pitch waiting for ref, game postponed as he did not show, this is a disgrace,what will happen now to this ref that didn't show,ie will he be fined or told to play for half money next time?
Will the clare league compensate both teams for there time? Lets face it if a club gives a walk over the clare league get there fines from them and also the ref gets paid for just showing up.. Should he not be fined for not showing up,
Love to know the leagues stance on this..

Frankie coote was down for 2 games at the same time, he did the Coole and manus game instead. Unfair on players alright but league will not do anything about it

I'm sure frank new at an early stage in the week he was down for 2games, unbelievable communication between both organisations.
At least contact the clubs early to let them no, fixtures are out ages....
Great win for bridge tv his morning, played some great football,I see they have a new C/H young lad, done well very good on the ball,

on a separate issue communications / clubs etc

following games all arranged for Friday night when rep of ireand in world cup qualify action in Dublin would soccer players not want to watch their national team playing. ??? but instead the good old clare league put out fixtures and guess what leave sunday soccer free because I assume clare are playing an all Ireland hurling final so once again the clare soccer league is organised to suit gaa games

I know you mean well but this is not the time to go on about the gaa, there will be players from every soccer club in the county in croke park on sunday supporting the hurlers, i'm sure the league will postpone the fixtures if there are players going to the aviva on friday night. Come on The Banner.

What about the players who are up in the aviva watching the world cup qualifier, no defending the leagues decision this time round, would the gaa call off hurling match cause ireland are playing?? dont think so.

totally agree league should be concentrating on soccer and don't worry about any other rival sports and especially the gaa who have teams who wont even entertain their players playing soccer while still involved in championship games

[Rider Cups]

Come on guys we all know the gaa is full of bigots , don't turn out like them , get behind your county on Sunday after all it's not often we get to an all Ireland final.

and the cork leagues too! just adds to back log of games towards the end of the season !!

[footballfriend]

What will happen now with Oscar Traynor game? Isn't it supp to be that weekend of the hurling replay?

[fifty50]

Why wouldn't it be played that weekend?? I think the Clare league were right to have no games yesterday (as I said before the clubs voted unanimously for it) but with the hurling replay now on a Saturday there is no reason for interruption to Sunday fixtures. If Oscar Traynor is scheduled to be played by that weekend then simply play it under lights mid week and a full round of fixtures the Sunday. If you think that going on the beer, celebrating/drowning your sorrows, is higher on your list of priorities than your Sunday fixture thats entirely up to the individual. Only thing that may be effected is youths/u19 fixtures as its possible that might be the weekend of the FAI youths first round.

I thought it was just the clare league who make a balls of the fixtures. No excuse for having a massive backlog at the end of the season but you can be guaranteed it will be the case this season. Just saw the limerick league have 8 league games played already

The oscar traynor game has been provisionally set for wednsday 25th in the county grounds, with the lights installed it is a huge boost for Clare soccer. Personally i think games should be off on the sunday after the all ireland, alot of lads will be up in dublin for it and wont be get back till all hours of the morning, let them enjoy it....sure whats the rush anyway

are you serious it is the clare soccer league not the clare (accomodate ) the gaa league .. what about all the lads who wanted to go to dublin or watch our National soccer team in world cup action last friday night but had to play games instead , let lads go to Dublin to cheer on clare but a full fixture list should be in place for Sunday ... whats the rush ask that next year when teams playing 3 games a week to try and get season finished

And would that be any different to every other year?? Fixtures always get backlogged....in my opinion 1 extra weekend off wouldnt do any harm. Sure we have the lights now, that might help ease the backlog

[footballfriend]

Don't think the shield gives an indication where teams are at personally. Teams seem slow getting back into it by looks of it. In regards to the fixtures, we will always end playing into May. It's how the Clare league rolls

[Second]

Anyone any idea of story with oscar traynor squad . I heard they only had 6 training last Tuesday and tonight's training is off.. I feel sorry for crusher its bad enough clubs probably wont have any League games played but now lads are not turning up.
