Limerick Desmond League 2010/11

[limkdesmond]

Ya o Donnell,power and o Shea are big losses to the team..I don't think Kelliher and madagin are good enough to start on Sunday..there are better defenders in the league than them..the backs in the team are the only downfall of the team..but the team have great midfield and strikers..shud be interesting to see who starts in midfield and upfront on Sunday..

Best of luck to Limerick Desmond on sunday

[sky blue]

Best of luck to Oscar Traynor team on Sunday. Heard PJ has a new pair of wellies and a baseball hat bought for the ocassion....:)

[BoyBlue]

Best Of Luck to all the lads, Hopefully they will do better than last couple of seasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was I not told to shut up on this page a couple of weeks back for making a comment about the Youths league and how so many teams are struggling to field a team? Askeaton got very upset for being included on the list. It was nothing personal Askeaton, the Youths league IS struggling and Askeaton ARE part of it, same as the rest of us.

[BoyBlue]

I agree withyou on this draper a lot of youths teams are struggling to field sides,most are using U/16 players from what I hear. the league needs to overhaul the setup and maybe look at playing Sundays. This will not be popular with some junior teams that need their youths but as a league we are loosing too many players that either work on Saturday or play other sports. As a league we might benefit from this in the longrun with more players coming through to play junior football long term. Just an Idea to let players play out their age group, Might not be the answer just my opinion.

[limkdesmond]

Bad crowd at the Desmond match today..about 25 people there altogether...thought there would be more people there

[Leon]

Who played well and who was bad. I presume that they are not going to qualify now with only 1 from the group going through

[limkdesmond]

Mikey lyons from rathkeale played well..Gary Egan played ok...pa madigan and Joe mcauliffe were poor enough..

['El Nino']

Egan was good aswell I thought.I'd say more than okay.McCauiffe saw a lot of the ball in the first half.Thought Mikey O Keefe would have been a far better option than Madigan.The same be said for Riordan instead of Joyce ,he would have created more chances for others aswell. O Dea was the best of the back four.It would be interesting to see Tomas Geary partner him I think he would push Kelliher for a starting role.He deserves a call up anyway I think.
You would have to wonder would a taller keeper prevented the goal that went straight in from the corner.Quirke was lucky when a striker blocked him down in the first half aswell.Hurleys work rate leaves a lot to be desired.Alan O Shea was at the match, he is a far better player who was overlooked from the squad not for the first year.

[happy days]

Going by the game on Sunday my honest opinion not meaning to insult anyone.. Madigan not good enough, Kelliher not good enough seoirse joyce no brain ( maybe Behen shud have started instead don't know if he was training or playing friendlies same goes for Riordan imo, 2 more experience and far better brains for the game) ...Just to name a few ..As for players not even picked for the squad I cannot comment because I do not know them all who refused and wasn't asked.Alan O Shea is a no brainer for the startin 11 let alone the squad.....Very average squad to work with but still managed to leave some of the stronger players on the bench.... Thomas Geary has no interest which is a pity. Manangement has to be questioned aswell...?????

[Johnnie C]

Anyone know anything about Newcastle Rovers proposed new pitch and dressing rooms ? They had a planning permission notice in the paper a week ago. Will it be operational for the 2011/2012 season ?

[BoyBlue]

IMO too many players played out of position, Lynch on left wing, McAuliffe left back, Madigan Right back.Surely there are players who play in these positions every wek for their clubs! I don't think any of the management have been attending club games!

I don't think any of the management have been attending club games! Ya the only games management do be at are itas b, breska b and kilaney b, you won't see too many players making the grade at them games.....Lynch is past it imo... Eagan and lyons very good in the middle of the park, with riordan and behan two players that must start against Cork shipping in the next game IMO....

[happy days]

Totally Agree sky blue. Riordan and snow have to play up top for next game. Only worry is they both like to come short which gives us no real penetration thru the middle...Saying that I wud still go with them as they are much better players...As for Ray Lynch been passed it...I would say yes also but the left side is not his area as was mentioned...Up top has always been his strongest pos and maybe play him off snow if the 2 mentioned don't work out... Alan o shea shud be on the left or right wing....Defence is a big worry..Appart from O dea they need to rethink and maybe call up a few players ...And not from Breska or Itas...

[avenueC]

Will rathkeales pitch be playable this Sunday?

[snafu]

Will rathkeales pitch be playable this Sunday?

It is one of the best pitches in the desmond league, i see no reason why it wouldnt be playable

[limkdesmond]

Riordan and behan have to start up front against cork..he should have switched Hurley an lynch in the second half against Kerry..he shud also look at different players for the upcoming game..maybe bring in shay Lyons from Newcastle west or Sean o Shea from rathkeale as full backs instead of madigan and mcauliffe.John Kelliher is past it IMO and Maurice carrig or Thomas Geary would be better than him.bring in Alan o Shea from rathkeale for the wing

[limkdesmond]

Rathkeale field will be playable on Sunday of course,it's one of the best fields if not the best in the league

[sky blue]

Will rathkeales pitch be playable this Sunday?
Just walked the pitch tonight at 7pm. Its wet in just one part of it. If we get a bad day of rain saturday it might not go ahead.

Agree with most of what you saying...But Shay Lyons is a big no no IMO..Def not good enough... 2 o sheas and Geary def Yes..

[new boy]

ray massey i think would be a good call up he can play both wings or up front as well as carrig from askeaton.massey playing out of his skin for club and always plays 110%.carrig playing great stuff and another player that gives his all on the pitch

Askeaton have a couple of players good enough definately. I agree with carrig (Could play centre Half) & Young Griffin is a nice player. IMO Massey would be no better than the Strickers that are already in the squad. They really need to call up natural full backs right & left Feane(NCW Rovers) Roche(Abbey) Lyons(NCW)McCarthy(Old Mill)???

[new boy]

if you go back to yer game againts askeaton ray massey had the better of yer defence boy blue.and for his first season as a prem player he is maken the so called big teams defences work very hard he mite not be scoren yet but most of goals for askeaton have come through him..and imo hes as good as most strikers in the league...needs time to get the hang of prem and is workn well on it

Another youth team giving a walkover... Thats a Disgrace

[BoyBlue]

Another youth team giving a walkover... Thats a Disgrace

Youths league really needs to be seriously looked at,NCW giving a walkover is scandalous for the size of the club! Any Ideas?

[buddygeary23]

Ncw youths team gave a walkover cos they prob had no team..didn't hear why it was but it probably had to do with most of there squad is 14 and 15..padraig kinahan is the only player that's not youths again next year..Gary shanahan is under age again next year and other than them 2 players the rest of the squad is only 14 and 15 and ncw prob had a under 14 and 16 game..it's not just ncw thou, there's other teams like that also

[limkdesmond]

What does everyone think all the games will go tomorrow??

[BoyBlue]

So u think ray Massey is better than Barry riordan or behan?? Ur kidding right?? Don't get me wrong he is a good player but not better than riordan or behan..he shud be on the squad cos IMO he is better than joyce and Collins

I really don't think that Massey should be in the squad, No way is he a better player than any of the 4/5/6 attackers in the squad.(Behan,Joyce,Quaid,Riordan Lynch or Collins).IMO it is the defence that needs sorting out and maybe calling up Sheehy(NCW) for competition for Quirke. On the Oscar traynor thread someone mentioned that training balls were used during the game last week, bit embarrassing if true!!!!

It is very difficult for youths teams at the moment but no way should NCW be giving a walkover Buddy.

[western gale]

Ncw had an u15 national cup game today, ironically they themselves got a walkover in this
