3 players released.

Adios to Joey Maloney, Dave Wall and Dave Goldbey. Not necessarily my first choices for the exit. Inevitably had to drop a few bodies I suppose.

He was decent for sure and genial enough that he was well liked by pretty much all. There was never a whole lot of end product with him tbh and with Kevin Waters playing so well and Wayne Colbert seemingly back to play on the wings I don't think he would have started many games. I think he was worth keeping though.

Genuine fan favourite, sorry to see him go as I thought he was a good squad member to have

Joey Maloney: always tried even if he wasn't having a great game. would have been a good player to have coming off the bench.

Davy Wall: Wasn't afraid to get stuck in, didn't think he'd be released.

Dave Goldbey: Not really surprised with his departure, average at best.

Wouldn't disagree with much of that. Goldbey looked alright until he got injured first time out and we basically never saw him again. Maloney and Wall are definitely better than a couple of those left behind IMO but we'll wait and see how things pan out before making too big a scene.

Without being too cruel why not Anthony Hayes instead of Davy Wall??

All three never quite good enough tbh but served their purpose, fairplay

They are on the transfer list not released, i think!

I would keep Joey Maloney (SC player of the Month for May) instead of young Hayes! What age is Hayes?

**KevB76** · 30/07/2007, 11:05 PM

I would not be happy if Joey Maloney went. I can remember a few times when he came on and added an extra spark which turned games in our favour. I think we still need that.

I have a lot of respect for Anthony Hayes, mainly for the fact that you can see that he really puts in a lot of effort, but I have to agree he wouldn't be the best abilitywise. I think the main problem he has is he's not strong enough for a lot of the bigger lads he comes up against.

agree should have kept wall...we dont have too many creative players and in fairness to him he at least tried to keep the ball on the ground when he played and chipped in with a few goals.we have players who can do what hayes does.dont think joey is up to it,seemed to lose confidence after a bright start....goldby the same.

What happened? Did these players not play a huge part in putting l37 where they are in the table? Is it to pay the wages of the boys who have just returned after turning their backs on lim f.c? Its all a bit sad.Iv gone to most of l37 home games this season but i dont think i will bother anymore.Is this the loyalty l37 shows to the players who helped get the club up and running.Has anyone else noticed that the crowd is getting smaller and smaller each week.No loyalty=No crowd=No money=Limerick F.C

It's called running a LOI Club. Income does not equal outgoings . Players will always be released when new signings are made. The Team is bigger than individual players and the signings are good for the long term future of the club.

As regarding not bothering going to matches Side Cutter thats your choice but you should support your local team. Don't give up after a few little dramas. These are quite normal in the lifetime of a Limerick supporter. But we still support OUR team.

What about Ebbie Quigley and the Kerry lads and all the other rubbish that stayed loyal in the second year in Pike??

How far back do you want to go with this loyalty??

Should we never get rid of any player ever??

Your point is ludicrous

He's talking about the second season we played in the Pike grounds a few seasons ago.

Point taken.I just think it looks bad on l37 when they get rid of 5-6 players halfway through their first ever season so they can make up the wages of 2-3 new players.
