What state is Shannon soccer in at the moment. How are shannon Town, Newtown and Shannon Olympic getting on? Would anyone dare pick a Shannon select II? Or is it that bad?

will be a loss to PAFC. Maybe not now but if they go up they will need a few more players like him. are the wheels coming off? wonder did dermot offer him any of his pay cheque to stay (now I am just being bold

)

Why wouldn't he come back next year?? He would get his place back I'm sure! Can't see many of the lads playing this year starting next year if Park do get promoted.

**brutus** · 06/12/2007, 6:59 AM

here's one for ya brutal..when park get promoted in 2nd place and shannon town stay in 1a..whats the bet that finnan will ship you and some more of the new guys out and bring in a few lads from limerick.(money)..bet you wouldn't stay around if not playing(ie newtown last year)

[/QUOTE]

you have the wrong person you bitter old fool,can you not just get over that the lads that went to park from newtown left because newtown manager (o mahony)was a complete disgrace of a manager,he knew nothing about preparation for a game,did not know how to train a team,unless it was run around 4 cones and in to a game of ball,brilliant training

,team selection were out of shape,ie playing players in positions were they never played before,absolute genius,thats why them guys left there young and want to keep learning,the only thing they would learn off o mahony is,how to play a good hand in the pub on a sunday evening.

Unfortunately Brutus he may be right (if Finnan sticks around) players will be brought in. Most of the players (from what I've seen) have been given a chance against teams in 1A and lets face it the results have been less than impressive. 7-4 away to Charleville, 5-0 against Herbertstown. Thats 12 against and 4 for over the course of 180 mins football and that Brutus is relegation form in any division.

Of course players will be brought in,clubs are looking to strengten there teams every season,besides i didnt say they wouldnt,the only thing that needs to be strenghtened is our defence,which will be sorted if theres promotion and maybe one more centre midfielder apart from that the team is good.

Maybe 3 or four of the defenders would be able to handle it Park have 3 good full backs and 1 centre half is all that the side has at the moment. Right Midfield is still a massive problem, a centre back, a centre midfielder maybe move Eddie Dunne out wide and bring in a scrapper into midfield, a striker and a few more on the bench are all musts for next year. Thats if players like you can take them to promotion?

Very good comment, Park are far from good enough for 1A,also there's a long way to go in 1B with a massive amount of away games to come,so it's not done and dusted just yet.I could be wrong on this, but wasn't part of the deal with Finnan that he couldn't bring in any players from Limerick?

No woodzy and quirky are the only 2 reliable at the back,nothing wrong with right midfield,there 2 or 3 players on the squad that can play out right,eddie dunne is not a winger,he is the only person we have who can do the dirty work in the middle of the park,dont agree with you at all on your post,nonsense imo.
