Now as i said below - You know absaloutley nothing about the clare league kid! So you might aswell start adding comments in the 1B thread because thats where you'll be playin ball next year kid!

there is just a run off of a few stronger players at each club,many good other players i havent mentioned..

are you serious about this one or just takng the p!ss....no offence to pogger but he would openly admit he is not one of the best 4 players at the club!!he plays witht he b team.

Wheelers in my opinion is better than skinny but
Do you really think skinny is a "great keeper"? Hes half decent at very most. (imo)
who are you comparing him to?
Wouldnt put great in the same sentance as any keeper in Clare.

Have to agree that Wheeler's in my opinion is a better keeper than Skinny, both have good defences in front of them to hide whatever weaknesses are there.
If your talking about best keepers there are a few good ones outside the Shannon area. The Hermitage keeper springs to mind straight away, as does that foreign lad that plays with Bridge Celtic.
Just a point on an earlier thread, not all the best players in Clare were picked for the Oscar Treaynor Panel for one reason or another. Eddie went with the panel that could give him the commitment needed, needless to say, not all players could give that commitment.

Brutus, based on the four players you selected from shannon olympic, I have to ask the question, have you ever actually seen them play??? Or just repeating something you heard in the pub......

**smellyfeet** · 08/03/2007, 8:37 AM

Lads it is a bit strange that Noel Donnellan hasn't been mentioned in this along with Jason Stretton. They have been rock solid this year for Newtown. Noel hasn't put a foot wrong all year and is Probably the reason Newtown are doing so well.Jason has done great stuff aswell but he can only do so much as Noel seems to leave him with little or nothing to do. Speaking to a few of Newtown apponents and they reckon the to lads are the best center half/ sweepers they have played against.

Have to agree, easily the best centre half pairing around. Are newtown worried that next yr they might loose their best asset, their defence??? surely b team football is calling for the old heads. Not having having a go at age (as they are playing very well) but cant play at the top forever!!

old heads alright but by performances this season don't see any reason why they will want to stop playing next year .. plenty of bite / heart left in both jason & noel to see in a few more seasons with newtown ..

try reading the post again and using your head. hes rite about the two players i mention and then i lead on saying that he obliously doesnt watch much football in the town. how does that confuse you go back and play with your blocks.
