Was supposedly offered a deal in October but turned it down looking for a deal in England if rumours are true.Originally Posted by osarusan
Left back and centre back better be arriving soon. Why we had a right back on trial I'll never know.
That's martin
Most of what I read about the Austrian trialist has him as a midfielder. Couldn't find any report of him playing in a defensive position.
Martins replacement will be tied down to a new contract soon at his club. Russell hasn't a clue. Turner has to start RIGHT WING v sligo. We have to get crosses into Tozi. Why did they retain him. Clueless, spineless, im waiting for his son to come back
Let's not get madly worked up over a friendly tbf. Think it's a bit unfair to Shaun Kelly and Ian Turner that they have barely played in their actual positions during pre season Shaun looks so uncomfortable at left back and the lad that was on trial played his entire time on the pitch at right back didn't look anywhere near Shauns level tbh.
Switched to 3 at the back for a bit in second half its my second time see us try it and the second time the lads looked like they had never trained a day in their life at it were all over the shop for a few mins.Whoever the lad was throwing stick at Martin over it would wanna give his head a shake though it's pre season ffs it's exactly the time to do this kinda thing.
Need to get good delivery into the box for Tosi to make an impact scoring wise just hasn't happened yet in pre season.Will still be excited about the season ahead if we get the LB and CB and they are good standard but they have to come this week too late to be signing em with no friendlies at all left.
True its only a friendly. But i just saw the goals. Three at the back for a russell team is suicide. Hope by not winning any friendlys hes tricking us into lowering our expectations
I'd agree that its better to try these things now and see they don't work.
Russell's never been renowned for his defences, that's not going to suddenly change. I'm hoping he and others haven't been blinded by the ease Limerick were scoring at times last year. We won't be putting three past the opposition in the last 20 minutes this season.
Author of Never Felt Better (History, Film Reviews).
We conceded 26 goals in 28 games last season against, in the main, shockingly poor teams.
Without improvement (and at the moment, the defence is probably even worse) we will get massacred.
We've won 3 of the 5 friendlies we played.
Pat confirmed there is a new investor in an interview with Live 95 too its been shared on the Blue Army Facebook page.
100% fact.
Will wait and see what we have coming in this week I just hope there quality defender's
Quality defenders and one player (Robbie) to take responsibility for organising them. Saw the two goals last night and lack of organisation looked like a big factor.
Ahhh the army, ballamanard reserves dont count. Who was the third
Why don't they count?
Limerick 2-1 Defence Forces
Ballinamallard 0-4 Limerick
Cobh 0-2 Limerick
Drogheda 1-1 Limerick
Galway 2-1 Limerick
What you'd be hoping for at the start of preseason would have been defenders good enough to just ignore Russell and do a job among themselves.
What we got was Tony whitehead and some lad Russell saw play five years ago.
Martin Russell has.not been signing our players since before xmas. As frustrating as it will be for the fans (not to mention pathetic considering they could have let him go in November) if a couple of good quality defenders don't appear you can take it the board have decided to give him enough rope....
First half when we had out a somewhat proper 11 we were the better team tbh we could be very very good going forward if we can get Tosi involved nearer to goal but him Lee J and Ogbene are forming a good link already it seems. Problems only really came when we tried the 3 at the back and made the changes. Hery is overweight but looks like there is actually a good player in there if we can get him fit and if he is anyway interested then Joe will. Really hope we get the 2 positions filled before the Waterford game so we can see what it would be like with Kelly at right back and Turner on the wing. Stephen Kenny has been quite good so far in pre season was very good lastnight.

Interview with POS this morning looking for 3 more players says if we get them it will take a good team to finish ahead of us
We get something like this every year so I'm sure people will be wary of it but great news that a new investor is on board and we are actually only 2 players away from being decent now.https://www.live95fm.ie/on-air/shows...r-limerick-fc/

There does look to be more substance to it this time though, and I don't mind waiting a year or three for the league title so long as we are solid and improvinganyhow. Nice steady build with a death grip on it once we get there rather than a boom bust job.
Paudie O'Connor is surely better served trying to be part of this.
