I know all of the Eire Og girls very well, you will never meet a bunch of more dedicated players.
For you to say they turn up when they feel like it? Come on now are you a county player, how would you know?

I know for a fact that the girls put their all in to the county and club training.
There are other players that turn up when they feel like it alright I have seen that with my own eyes but the Eire Og girls arent the ones.

I could name players or even clubs they are from but I am not that low.

People I dont have any chip, in fact I love Ladies Football and all the girls involved. I have been and will continue to be a supporter going forward. My only problem is with people coming on to this forum and pretending that all is Rosey in the Garden when in fact it just is not. Now Skybluelass I am not sure what Happy pills they put in the waters of Annamoe but get real. You come on here pretending that all is great and super duper and say that everyone are Happy campers when the Facts state that all is not super duper and people are very unhappy with how 2009 went for us. Magpie 11, I too know the Eiro Og girls very well and have a lot of time for them and I am aware that they put a lot of time into Football BUT going on a Drinking session the week before a National league Final (and then getting their places ahead of others) does not, to me, give the impression of the commitment needed. Now I will say no more on the subjects as it appears that most people just want the Happy easy life and can not face the harsh and real Facts. Remember people I am not talking out of context I am only dealing with the FACTS of the year past and no one can deny that. Having said all that I do wish the Girls well in 2010 and I hope they will making better progress than in 2009.

whocares, you say you have a lot of time for the young Eire Og girls but yet you would come on this forum and say it is "well documented" that these girls lack commitment and dedication. They probably held the best attendance record at training all year and showed the most determination in playing for their county. They range from age 17-21 and are all students so to travel to training around the county nearly three times a week costs them alot but they just get on with it, so if anything their commitment is well documented. So they made a mistake, but you are exagurating this beyond belief with your alleged "drinking session 1 week before NFL final" . Having two or three drinks on the 25th of April (we know this because the girls played Arklow the next day, the 26th) is not one week before the national league final (Saturday 9th May).Get your facts right. I will gladly advise these girls to stay away from this forum as they do not deserve this kind of ridicule and do not need to see it. Your support to these girls is appreciated Skybluelass and magpie11

whocares I am NOT saying or pretending that everything is rosey in the garden..i do accept that we should've done a lot better the past season- we did try our best- I am merely defending my team-mates who I regard highly and you who seem to be the only one on this forum who has slated them. I understand and respect peoples opinions...ie yours- however when they become personal and out of line about friends and team-mates of mine, you cross the line between the professional side of it ie the football and the person side of it, about what you say first because from what I've just read about you saying about the girls, I can for a fact say that your information is not as well verified or true as you think- so get our facts straight please

One good thing I suppose is the obvious passion that so many people have for the betterment of Ladies Football in the County, it would be an awful lot worse if no one cared! It would be absoultely fantastic if the County team were to reach an All Ireland Final in 2010, and it is definitely within their reach - but it seems to be the opinion of many (including my own if I am honest) that it will not happen with the current structure in place. We shall wait and see.....

On a side note, did anyone hear how the league final went last night? Was it even played, cos weather was terrible

Bray 5.4 AGB 2.3. Terrible Conditions! Aine O'Gorman was "Class".

Thanks for the update Wicklowrunner. Is AIne O'Gorman the Soccer player ? I didn't make it over on Friday as the weather was terrible and the Roads weren't great. Fair play to all the girls involved for putting on any sort of a match in those conditions !

Aine O'Gorman, is an International Soccer Player for Ireland. I think she & Tanya McDonald (AGB) are going to commit to the County in 2010. If so, this will be a great Full Forward Line!

Sounds promising wicklowrunner, we still need a centre forward though!

W4S (Wicklow) - Posts: 104 - 08/12/2009 15:17:30    507253

W4S,
Niamh Carroll centre forward?

SupersizeMe (Wicklow) - Posts: 173 - 08/12/2009 16:51:01    507385

Wicklowrunner, I heard from one of the county girls that they asked Tanya if she would play county next year after the county league semi and she said she wasn't interested. I hope that she does though, she would be a real asset as would Aine.

Bridalceoil that would be very disappointing if they dont play, but not surprising at the same time. I just can not understand why people would not want to represent their County. Is it the club holding them back or the players personal choice ?

Whocares (Wicklow) - Posts: 229 - 09/12/2009 10:17:54    508140

Hi, I know its a bit late fot this reply, but in relation to what Jitter and Bridalceoil said a while ago, I'm fairly sure I'm that player that was being spoken about.. I'm not going to make any comment on management, but I want to clear something up - I was told not to bother coming to training because I was injured and was travelling all over the place to just stand and watch, but was told to come along to matches as I was still considered part of the squad. So it wasnt that I just wasnt showing up at training!! But anyway obviously they must have changed their minds because they stopped telling me when matches were on and had no interest when I was back fit but whatever I'm not bitter!!

So what would peoples opinion be on what we should expect from Wicklow Ladies next year? Holding our own in the league maybe? Or Leinster Champions? All Ireland Final?

Rumour has it that training will be starting back in few weeks - first week in Jan apparently? Is this true? Before the County AGM??!

Holding our own in the league maybe? 2 or 3 wins in League would be a good result.
Or Leinster Champions? Wexford are down there now - will be tough.
All Ireland Final? Can't see it - depends how well they perform in League.
Rumour has it that training will be starting back in few weeks - first week in Jan apparently? Is this true? Before the County AGM??! Don't know what Convention has to do with girls back training.

I'm a player we've been told nothing yet about training

Oh Skybluelass - Maybe you use to be a player so !!!!!!

Whocares (Wicklow) - Posts: 229 - 30/12/2009 10:52:17    522296

very funny :P sure with half the team not around for the nxt week it'l be a tad hard to have training

Any news on the managerial front guys? When is the league starting? Tough group with the girls rubbing shoulders with the likes of Cavan, Waterford, Fermanagh, Roscommon and Westmeath in the group. No doubt the girls will be no push overs either!
