Anyone care to share what they think is the strongest 11 for the OT team.
A Former Ref actually. The reason I come on here defending them is that they are not allowed to (a Branch Rule), and someone has to for some of the topics discussed.
I wasn't privvy to his conversation with Skinny or Julian at half time so take your word for the incident.
In regard to me having an open view, we generally only get one side of an argument on here i.e. the players/clubs, I have been in enough incidents myself over the years to know that a biased opinion is generally given by the player/club and Referee.
At the close of day everyone is involved for the love of the game, be you a player, club member or official and untill the them versus us (on both sides) is stamped out controversy will always remain.

Shannon Olympic F.C. are a football club based in Shannon, County Clare, Ireland. They were established in 1993 and joined the Clare League in the same year. For the 2007-2008 season they are members of the Clare Hire and Sales Division 1, after relegation in 2006-2007.
The club was founded by Chilean refugees led by Móro Santino in 1993. The club has enjoyed mixed success through the years. In 2005 the club held a competition in the local schools to create a team mascot (Wayn'O Wonder - Dog) to help change their fortune. This did ensure a quick turnaround although the club were unluckily beaten in the quarter final of the Inter-Toto Cup. The club has had its fair share of scandal and controversy over the years. Striker Jason Regan was banned for eight games and fined €300 for launching a violent shot at a pregnant female spectator, although he claimed he was aiming for the team's mascot.
James Bullman has trained the team since 1995, doing so in that time without a whistle. Promising midfielder David Collins turned down a lucrative contract to pursue a career as a rap artist under the name of Collie. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...iendid=7850798
The team colours are red and blue and the team ground is "The Big Blue" with a capacity of 15,343. The highest attendance ever recorded was 152 against Rock Rovers on 13th March 2004.

If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
We should get the opposing teams to bring the officials.Our refs have always taken "Clare of the Welcomes" just that bit too far.
In my day, nuetral Referees were appointed for these games, this system was stopped because of the costs involved, it all comes down to finances in the end.

Bad day for Clare teams yesterday with some clubs on the wrong end of some drubbings. 10 team's from Clare/Kerry/Desmond will be in the hat for the 4th round draw leaving 5 winners to go to the open draw. I imagine the 4th round draw will be made this week or early next week as games are to be played on Nov 25th.
Just checked the Desmond wesite.They are 3rd with 2 games in hand in Div 1.
Noticed also that there are 3 youths divisions in that league with 6 teams in each even though they only have the same number of Junior divisions as Clare and about the same number of teams.We seem to be a bit lazy on that front in Clare.
"You'll not see nothing like the Shelbourne team"
Eduardo Ustanov scored 3, Boc scored 2, Anto Whyte got 1, Ryan Kelly, Bunny Carr and Cheeky got 1... Game finished 9-3.
