Is this a blueprint for success for carlow football. Jack L (None) - Posts: 2825 - 06/11/2012 13:49:14 1293373 Link 0 |
I just hope that they handle it better than the last idea of mine they stole - but, then again, I wouldn't know was much as 'successful' businessmen would. TAFKANO1FAN (Carlow) - Posts: 588 - 06/11/2012 14:55:19 1293435 Link 0 |
No, I think the blueprint is locked away somewhere. It was proposed by 'successful' businessmen but they became so busy with being successful that they haven't been able to update their website for a couple of years. TAFKANO1FAN (Carlow) - Posts: 588 - 06/11/2012 15:08:18 1293442 Link 0 |
A nice piece of satire tafkano1fan. All so true.I remember the successful business men priorotising corporate donations over recruiting new members. Bimb (Carlow) - Posts: 435 - 06/11/2012 19:40:23 1293723 Link 0 |
How can you justified them goin down to junior if they were obviuosly good enough to win the intermediate title Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1243 - 06/11/2012 21:51:20 1293825 Link 0 |
clubs should be givin a years notice as to what way the championships structure should be if there is to b a major change. more4me (Carlow) - Posts: 95 - 07/11/2012 08:52:04 1293841 Link 0 |
So what exactly is the proposed new structure? Is there only one new proposal versus the old one? MLR & Kilbride will obviously reject this proposal along with a number of other clubs especially intermediate teams and why wouldn't they?

to the best of my knowledge, this will be introduced next year if approved, why would mlr or kilbride have an issue with it, they can still make a senior qf next year, from what i have heard about it, 16 teams can make the senior qf next year.

Barrowsider you haven't obviously read the detail! 8 senior Teams can loose all 3 group games and still end up in a playoff to stay senior! Whereas n Eoin, kilbride, ml rankers & cocks have to win all three group games and still win a playoff to remain senior in 2014! Now how in gods name is that fair!

i hadn't seen it until this evening, i only had second hand reports. they have got it wrong as usual, you would have to question the mental capabilities of the people that came up with it, it looks very unfair on clonmore in particular, and then these groups of 4 are pointless when 3 teams come out of them and the 4th plays off against the top team from either group in tier 2 to make up the quarter finals. we need to get away from these league championships formats and get back to something closer to knockout, with a more meaningful league in the spring Barrowsider (Carlow) - Posts: 1321 - 07/11/2012 19:33:09 1294335 Link 0 |
I'm not so sure many people would agree with you on that barrowsider, 'get back to something closer to knock out', is the present format of playing championship in July, August and September - and October if you're lucky - not what the clubs and the players want. Would this meaningful league in the spring include county players, hurling and football county players, some club football teams have more intercounty hurlers than they do footballers. look at the intercounty programme from January to June and July if we are to make progress and see where could this league be played, realistically ! I actually thought a fair bit of thought had gone into it, probably not a popular thing to say on this site, but credit where it's due. This will reduce the number of teams competing in senior and intermediate to eight each, with the third eight playing junior A but still manages for the 'transition' year to allow all teams a chance to win the championship they thought they would be playing in. The championships will be seriously competitive from 2014, one of the top eight will be relegated to intermediate every year, and one going each way from intermediate and junior A.

If Carlow get a good run in the championship, it could throw the planning for the local championship up in smoke. Jack L (None) - Posts: 2825 - 08/11/2012 17:37:10 1294938 Link 0 |
The thread reads, "The standard of club football in Carlow" and I have been following it with some interest, so this is my tuppence worth, out of the fourteen or so club's in the county, they can be rejigged, rearranged or reshuffeled call it what you like but it's not going to improve the standard of football, all it's going to do is window dress the real problem and plaster over the cracks. The real problem in my view is that the club's in general are not putting in enough effort to encourage more youngsters from u-6, u-8, u-10 etc into the clubs, put proper training procedures in place with proper coaches, with that and through time the players will raise the standard of the club. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2185 - 08/11/2012 18:26:05 1294969 Link 0 |
no i'd imagine you are right seany, most would disagree with me, but that doesn't mean im wrong infact going by our tradition of failure im glad they don't agree with me, i don't claim to be right either, the plan get's to the right place in the end with the tiers of 8, i agree fully with that and my posts here over the years have stated that many times Barrowsider (Carlow) - Posts: 1321 - 08/11/2012 20:14:55 1295024 Link 0 |
