Clare League 2013/14

[First]

thread is getting stupid now.. we will never know how clare teams will fare in lim league cos it will never happen as much as shannon teams wont magically amalgamate and appear in the premier in clare.. can we talk about reality instead. any reports from games last night. rock ave n newmk good wins

Stop with the logical attitude. We can't handle the logical attitude.

Was at the Olympic game last night. Shocking standard of refereeing. Also don't think that will be the end of it.

Did the shannon town team not draw in a ftiendly with the oscar traynor team earlier this year.. I know it was only a friendly but im sure the clare team took it serious as lads were fighting for places..wasn't at it and maybe town were lucky to get a draw..

First
Out of interest what 1A games have you watched this year in limk. To say that the shannon teams would be beaten by most 1st division teams in clare is totally laughable..
Plenty of players in shannon would walk onto newmarket team. . Garreth ahern, darren griffen ,sean burke, ken buckley, gary o connell, robbie wall james harty just to name a few. . Go on tell me I'm wrong..

Ive played with all these lads and Newmarket. Gary is easily the best of them lads mentioned but I couldnt see him getting in Newmarkets best 11 but would be used alot.

I could name more teams ive played with but wont bother IMO the premier in Limerick is stronger but Newmarket and Avenue wouldn't struggle in it or win it. Also I really couldn't see Town or Hibs win The Clare league. We could talk about this over and over but its pointless so lets all move on now.

Yeah you're right!

IMO frankie isn't a bad ref, he gets alot of decisions spot on he just can't handle people calling for decisions, one of our players was almost given a yellow for calling "our throw ref" last night. Red card wasn't a red, but now it could be more than a 3 game ban! Even Frankie wouldn't let the Olympic captain speak to him(frankie).

was not a red >> what did player do then if ref thought it was a red ?

[Shuffleruns]

Bet it was diving :P

[DSMALL1]

Ryan will be out for at least three games now - a joke of a sending off.
But at least he can look forward to the upcoming rally of the lakes in Killarney!!!

[First]

Refs in Clare are too sensitive. Ryan's sending off last night was unjustified but his reaction after may cause him further issues. The sending off was wrong plain and simple. I have seen too many games in Clare being riuned as a contest by refs over-reacting to simple things, yes they deserve respect but they need to respect players. Too many refs willing to give reds for a players verbal reaction but the same refs will not take action against dangerous tackles.

Also the influence these refs have in a game is ridiculous, I would go as far as saying that they actually try to bring teams that are losing back into a game rather than reffing the game on it's merits.
We have some very good refs in Clare but their good work is being undone by the others.

Oh right cheers! Didn't know he signed for them

[AC Melon]

Yeah Ryan Kelly, it was for a tackle on Newmarket RB not even a bad tackle but was a free. We got the win anyway which is the main thing bridge Celtic have 2 tough games next against turnpike and Rhine rovers (I know Rhine are bottom but they are a decent side) can some1 shed some light on this at the end of the season if top 2 teams are level on points what happens also how many teams are automatically promoted?

Top 2 promoted.. 3rd go into a playoff.. if 2 teams level there would be a playoff in doora

You couldn't make this stuff up. So u were at the game melon, and ryan got sent off for a tackle on the newmarket RB? Cos that didn't happen?

[Side Cutter]

Didn't the Division 3 side beat what is now the Hibs A side 9-1 at the start of the year?

Correct first. They beat hibs b 9-1 in a pre-season friendly. Done a lot for their confidence, cos they went on to beat newmarket A in the fai

And by that Logic the Division 3 team would have more hope of winning the Clare League than either Shannon team. I knew you'd get it.

Yet shannon town and shannon olympic played in the final so therefore they are better than newmarket and bridge..
pre season means nothing..
first
you have a good knowledge of clare football. Who was the last clare team to beat a limk team in a munster junior or fai game..and when..
