Anybody know the Limerick team think it was picked last night.

[blueboy2]

Any truth in rumour that the Pike players declined to play for the limerick league thats why the squad is not picked yet was talking to a pike man and he told me the same.

[Longshanks]

Is the Oscar Traynor taken seriously in many leagues?? for a few years the top players in the Sligo/Leitirm couldnt be bothered with it

[faces]

Any truth in rumour that the Pike players declined to play for the limerick league thats why the squad is not picked yet was talking to a pike man and he told me the same.

if thats the case get on with it.there are still enough players good enough to get on the team that would love to play oscar traynor and are being overlooked every year because thay are not playing with the so called bigger teams.

[leather]

ANY PLAYER FROM ANY CLUB who declines to play for the league, can be suspended by the league if a valid excuse is not provided.Not sure if this is just a local rule in Limerick but if the rumour is true, it puts the LDMC in a pickle once again...They must be the best league in the country for shooting themselves in the feet....

Surely a player has a right to refuse to play?

[blueboy2]

Surely a player has a right to refuse to play?

Why would a player not want to represent his league and put on a Limerick Jersey is this what junior football is gone to in Limerick.

[blueboy2]

Its a well known fact that players playing oscar traynor football have also been picked for the Irish junior squad and have being capped for their country.
What better incentive could you want and you dont have to be a Pike or Fairview player either.

[Fairkop]

but sure lads last year they only had 11 players for a match in cork,every player should want to represent his league but is it being run right,going on last year it does not seem so.

[blueboy2]

I thought Aidan Ryan was back after the fiasco of last year dident he bring limerick to the final a couple of years ago only to be beaten on penalties.

[mufc]

if pike players didnt represent i think the team would be very very poor and wudnt have a chance

[manalishi]

Surely the standard of football in Limerick is still good enough to field great side without Pike players?

spot on it is more than capable of puting out a good side without pike.not cuting pike or anything lads.if they dont want to play that should be it.

he is and the team is named but dont know who they are.anyone have team.

[mouldedstuds]

can you believe martin (nabs) knee is goosed again so he be lucky to be playing with newmarket let alone clare

[abbeyvale]

if pike players didnt represent i think the team would be very very poor and wudnt have a chance

What a load of crap........Limerick would still do well without any Pike players in the squad.

We all know that no players will be suspended.

[blueboy2]

Heard from a pike man that after the shannon match last week the pike players were told by the management that if they played oscar traynor their place on the fai team would be put in jeopardy. so it will be interesting next week when the O.T. squad is named on the local paper.

[allab]

oscar traynor squad,
Keith Harnett, Conor Kavanagh, Alan Barry, Wayne Colbert (Pike Rvs), Pat McGarry, Darren O’Sullivan, Jonathon Grant (Fairview Rgs), Pat Boyle, Stephen Grant, John Boyle (Carew Park), Dan Goggin, Dean Lenihan (Aisling Annacotty), Conor Moloney, Rob Egan (Kilmallock), Ger Burke (Mungret Reg), Gary Higgins (Janesboro), John Ryan (Star Rvs), Ronan Sherlock (Corbally), Alan Wallace (Wembley Rvs), Dan O’Flynn (Charleville).

well done to carews midfield partnership pat boyle and steven grant fully deserved they have been excellant all season. and john i reckon would be near enough top scorer in all comps in town,

[allab]

who do you reckon the shocks are.

possibly darren o sullivan, injured most of the season,stephen grant, dean lenihan, dont know of conor moloney? and from gary higgins on, surely some of the pike lads turned it down because there should be more on it, pat mullins pa moloney gary neville etc.. what do you think?

ya agree they should but if they dont want to play thats it.connor moloney fine centre half for us.

[balls]

Alan Wallace (Wembley Rvs), is this the lad who used play up front for pallas last year

[Fairkop]

lot of new players in that squad,no buckley,mullins,moloney,dunphy,cleary,no regional players,is,n neville injured though he might,n have been picked.anyone know anything about wallace and oflynn?

[Dara3000]

Fairly dissapointed that not one from my own club Regional have been picked?
Was there a reason for that?

Who are the goalkeepers in the squad?

[blueboy2]

What Regional or Balla players do you think should be on it.

[thomas72]

What Regional or Balla players do you think should be on it.

tom daly, dave dunphy, robert brock,
mark o dorthey, thomas butler, declan nash,

[maestro]

Take the free weekend and run

[passandmove]

Ya wallace signed for us because pallas pulled out,good player and is our top scorer at the moment,sound lad and should do well,and as maestro said its a possiable free weekend for the club so happy days

Overall I think its a very strong squad. There will always be a few here and there who should of got on to it but thats what personal opinions are for I suppose.
Aidan Ryan is a very professional manager and by all accounts he ran a very good ship 2 years ago and some of the players let him down against Cork throwing away a 2 goal lead.

Id say they'l get out of the group at least.

[blueboy2]

tom daly, dave dunphy, robert brock,
mark o dorthey, thomas butler, declan nash,

Not sure but i think those Balla players were picked before and pulled out dont know the story with the Regional players but those 2 surprise defeats to the Boro cant have helped their cause.

[KilmallockYouth]

Played Underage on the Limerick team's wit Dan O Flynn...Super player big strong quick great on the ball and only 21..Haven't seen him play in a while though..Was on an Irish squad when he was younger..Don't know what happend to him????

[azizi]

ronan sherlock (corbally) is a shock inclusive cos he couldn't get on starting 11 with mungret then left to go to corbally i think there's better players out there than himself

i wouldnt fully agree with you there rory.was down in tralee watching limerick v kerry 2 seasons ago when aidan ryan last had the ot team and the above named player had a great game and played a big part in getting a draw against a quality kerry outfit when other so called better players went missing.a player who can play afew positions so im sure aidan ryan sees him as a useful squad player.cant see the lad starting but as i said will provide cover for at least 3 positions.being honest i didnt even know the guy was playing with either of the above.didnt see him around at all last season.played with AA the last game i saw him around town.

[blueboy2]

Dan o Flynn was playing with wexford youths up to a couple of weeks ago.
Pike tried to sign him but he opted for Charleville hes a good player.
Heard in Jackman Park last night 26 players got phone calls all but 6 said yes.

[Elton John]

John Meskell with Aisling is better than both Corbett and Sherlock and can play in 3 positions. Centre half, left back and midfield. I would not be surprised if he is asked into the squad.

[thomas72]

no disrespect to meskell but he is not a patch on johnny corbett who IMO is one of the top 4 best players in town

[white line]

hahaha he is a average player at best by the way corbett can play centre half he got player of the year with pike a right midfield. if meskell was as good as you say he would be in the squad i would not rate him in the top 10 midfielders in town never mind the top players in town.

[whitestripe]

your having a laugh or eating those magic shrooms again meskell better than corbett not a hope and i still dont understand why corbett wasnt asked

I would not go comparing players but Meskell is definately one of the better players I have seen playing junior football. Congrats to the Aisling lads both past (Ronan) and present (Dan and Dean) for getting on the squad.

[blueboy2]

Johnny Corbett is a very good player but hes playing 2 A football if he was up in a higher division he would probably be picked in the squad.

[citybone]

West Cork League is not taking part. Thats sad when they got to the final a few years back

[Balanced bias]

Apart from Redcardrorys love for Johnny Corbett I wouldn’t have him in the squad this year! If he wasn’t in it the last few years playing with Pike(start of last season included) he certainly won’t make it playing down in 2A with Moyross!
Meskell is a good strong footballer who iv seen play in a couple of positions over the years and id have him in my midfield before Ger Burke and a few more of the current squad.


More to the point......Only one keeper worries me though!!! Young Neville is a big loss

There are 2 Goalkeepers in the squad.............

[Fairkop]

ya, i thought i saw two in the paper,ryan from star and a r.egan from kilmallock.

[blueboy2]

I wouldent be surprised if neville was back for the munster junior game against fairview

[blueboy2]

Its says in the fixtures that Carew Park are playing Corbally in the Touhy cup the thursday before the Oscar Traynor game against Clare.
If any of the Carew players get injured it doesent give them much time to recover for the game on Sunday.
