Surely lifford would want to beat a full team not 1 weakened by 4 starters.I taught olympic set a good standard for sportsmanship earlier in cup. Obviously lifford have no sportsmanship. It's a Sunday league so final should be on a Sunday

Cheap cup are u havin a laugh.....There was nothin cheap how we got there and of course we would like to play rineanna's full team but dont forget we will be down a player as well wat are we meant to do wait till both teams have everyone dat might never happen the date was set now lets get on wit it

So until you take up managment you should keep you trap shut.its people like you with your sly remarks and knocking managers that are ruining football in Clare. As for the Newmarket pitch for the semi ya it was in great nick and the field committee should be very proud of themselves they have a great job done with facilities. Are you involved in committee I doubt it.

Right how do I respond to that tirade of abuse. I will respond to you as I am sure that Jay can voice his own opinion and having had some level of footballing about him, his I will listen to.
If you beleive you are training your team to a level that belies what I witnessed in the semi-final then you should have a chat with God and no I am not God nor do I suffer from any delusion that I am so I'll be no help to you there. Telling me to shut my trap is neither smart or anyway an indication of an ability to voice your opinion. You admit that the semi-final wasn't great and the weather was poor but it still isn't an excuse for the lack of standard basic football skills that your team pocesses. If as you seem to indicate they have had any training on these aspects then it clearly isn't working and before you get anymore abusive it is something that is there to see in alot of clubs including Newmarket. My point is that the players have not received coaching that is being given to the kids today and this is where I see the improvements in the Clare League slowly taking place.

As for Management yes you are correct I have not managed a team , nor can I see myself doing so in the near future , but I do know that it requires an ability to get people to clearly understand what you want from them and how to go about instilling it in them, this is where the training comes in and the coaching. It is not just about collecting the gear and filling the water bottles. It also requires an ability to see what is going on in a game and to know what you can do about it with the players and the work you do to change it.

I don't think my remarks have been anyway sly and they are nothing that I wouldn't say to anyone in person , so get off your high horse and learn that critisim can also be constructive.

I hope I have made it clear what I am saying but I am sure if you read it over a few times you will eventually get it.

Your right it is basic skills, but even the basic skills have to be thought at a young age. Up until recently most clubs in Ireland had unqualified people, trying their best to teach kids the basics of football. Its not an easy job. I cant speak for the rest of the leagues in Ireland but I do know the clare league has taken massive strides to improving this with regurlar 'Kickstart' training days for coaches. when Fairview and more recently wembley (at underage) were winning FAI'S, do you think it was because they coached their players through from underage?No they poached the best players from other teams.

Ya Avenue have done it for years now but they do have a good set up going so hopefully they might give their youngsrers a chance and stop hassling other players to sign for em!
