GAMES TO BE PLAYED ON OR BEFORE THE 4TH/5TH.November2006
There was no coup getting these 2 players back to Shannon as they both played for Newtown last year. TBH nobody at Newtown gives a monkeys fart who they play for so no sour grapes at all. At the end of the day it is Amatuer football and they are free to go where they want when they want.

Thats very true, but it's the players who cannot show loyalty to one club who will let you down in the long run. Too many nomads around in my opinion. I think this is the main reason the bite has gone out of the Clare league a bit, when it comes to the crunch these guys don't really give a crap about the club they are playing for and don't lose sleep if they win or lose. Full credit to players who have remained loyal, these are the backbones to all teams, not the yearly blow ins.
I understand where your coming from. But i left Newtown before and wouldn't call myself a nomad.

No but I've heard you called worse
But seriously I agree that there are a lot of nomads in the Clare league and it does seem to have taken the bite out of things. When I played you were proud to wear the jersey of your club at you did care whether you won or lost.
From my own experience I also know what it is like to fall out with your club and move on but now it seems that people are moving from clubs for no other reason as to who will accomadate them ,whether its to fit in with their GAA schedule or the fact they don't want to fight for a place on their club team.
No rule in the club about GAA players, I said we didn't need these players. If you get 15 games between the two of them I'll buy you a pint myself. No disrespect to the 2 lads that just how it was last year. Just wondering if these "disappointed" players from Newtown approached you or did you approach them?
you are only a loser when you stop trying. Playing sport does not build character, it reveals it.

I think ego's play a big part in this.No but I've heard you called worse
''but now it seems that people are moving from clubs for no other reason''.
Only 2 teams in clare drawn away. Should give the home teams the upper handNot saying that home team will win or away team will lose but it is a small advantage.

Great thread now lads.Plenty of activity and good points.
The loyalty thing is a great issue.The 2 lads played with Newtown from under 10 to 16.They then went to Wmbley after being approached during the close season and went on to play in the national cup u17 final and unfortunately lost.They came back last year and all in Newtown were looking foward to their return but lo and behold they became GAA heads over night and didnt make themselves available till well into the season after the GAA was finished however they had "other commitments"as well and were not always available for the remainder of the season.On a couple of occassions one of them had to be taken off before half time!!!Again we thought they would give their commitment this year but calculated that the set up in Newtown is such this year that they would have difficulty getting a game and took the option to go elsewhere on the basis that they would get a game without having to make much effort rather than fighting for their places.
Hopefully there will be a good derby on Sunday one way or the other and that the team most likely to go furthest and represent Clare best will win.

I think enough has been said on this matter. Should be a good game sunday.
I'll go for a pint after in the lodge if i'm back in time win, lose or draw.

Don't expect anyone to go naming teams here before Sunday but are the 2 transferred players likely to start on Sunday???
Jeez I'm even going to stay in Saturday night just to make sure I dont sleep in and miss this one.
This was general comment and not directed at anyone in particular. There are 10-12 players in the Prem who change club every season. Newtown have one at the moment, we also have a couple. Not directed at you at all SF.
would agree with you first .. was a lot more pride in your club a few years ago when i was playing also .... watching games now and it looks like this has gone ... but must add very few clubs now have a lot of loyal players left and it is unfortunate they have to accomadate a lot of these nomads... park rangers in shannon is a perfect example for years they were poaching players all over shannon and look were this has gotten them now ...No but I've heard you called worse

You'd have some job naming the Newtown team!!Noone knows from week to week,Daniel Tierney back from injury now so Skinny back under pressure again.Of course the 2 lads will be playing ,I heard they were guaranteed places once they signed!!!But someone could have been telling lies and just misleading me and that they are only in the panel and will be picked on merit and training attendance.
Hopefully the 2 teams will go back to the Lodge or wherever Olympic drink to have a pint together after the match.

Only haven ya on.

Surely ye will be heading for Ennis together in harmony for the hurling final...
hacker ... i don't think shelbourne slated these players
he has mentioned a couple of times they are good players
his problem seems to be with their commitment to training & to a certain other sport.. & maybee no loyalty to any club.. davy wall leaving newtown is a different issue
he left newtown for a better club ( no disrepect to olympic here )
he trained hard gave it 100% with fairview and was rewarded in the end .... davy then made the decision to return to newtown .. which if being honest was a step backwards in my opinion .. but it was what he wanted and he always gives it 100% in training & matches
