lads is it true tierney+lyons signing with boro and ryan with pike i taught tierney has contract signed for next year

[Jofspring]

Tierney is signed up for next season and if anything he would sign for a better LOI club as he has been our best player all season and could play at a higher level than the first division if you ask me. Lyons could possibly sign for the boro. Don't see why Bobby Ryan would sign for a junior club in Limerick. He lives in Dublin with his family so it seems like a lot of hassle to be driving down to play junior soccer on a Sunday morning. So to answer your question i doubt they have signed with the Boro and Pike.

[balanced view]

yeah i have heard all these rumours myself. I cannot see it happening to be honest. it just doesn't make sense for bobby,john or clarkey to leave. I could see yellow going to boro but thats it. Hopefully there is nothing in these rumours cause we need to build on this season and learn from our mistakes.

[bluewhitearmy]

Tierney is not one of the lads that has a contract for next year but i really doubt he would go back to junior.

As for Yellow and Bobby no big loss so if they want to go let them. Wont be going anywhere for another 5 weeks anyway.

My mistake, thought he had. Would like to see him signed up before the season is out like the other players that have signed up already.

[bluewhitearmy]

Ya i was surprised he wasn't when the rest did.

I think Yellow and Bobby will be let go anyway so they are free to do what they want.

Yellow is a good player but not getting the game time so i can see why he might want to go back to Junior. He is still very young so plenty of time for him to come back in the future if he wanted. I think Bobby would be as well off signing for a Junior or Senior league team in Dublin if he is not going to be playing LOI. Nothing really to make him want ot travel down from Dublin.

There is a few players who Limerick clearly need to hold onto. I think the players that will stay will set up a nice spine of the team that can be added to next season.

[Monkfish]

Bobbys done nothing since joining so he can go, Yellow could sign for Star or Sporting Fingal....ya just dont know with the fella, as for John? junior? In Gods name why?

[sean r]

who is yellow? and why is he called that?

[gael353]

Thomas Lyons....as in Yellow Lyons...

heard bob and rogers will be signing with pike and travelling down just for the matches

[Jofspring]

heard bob and rogers will be signing with pike and travelling down just for the matches

Once again unless Pike are paying them big big money i see no reason for either of these players to travel down to Limerick to play junior soccer when they can do that in Dublin.

I also don't think Pike need them. They looked strong enough to win the FAI Junior Cup as it is.

[Daydreamer]

Definates that should be kept are

Paddy.
Da Ryan
Yellow
Judge
tierney
tracey
Clarke
O' Flynn
O leary
B. Ryan
Rogers if we can afford those 2 still

Out
White
Kelly(neither Played well in My opinion in the games I have seen)

In ..
Mullins Pike centre Back
E. O' donovan left Back Pike
Brian Cleary Pike centre Back Left Back
Conor Kavanagh C/mid

From the matches i have seen locally they would be the 3 best players and suited to Limericks needs.

Cant see why we would keep them 2 they have done nothing all year.

And i wouldn't be signing anyone from junior if we are serious about wanting to go up.

I think bringing Brian Cleary back in would be a good move alright for the club. A very solid left back for us 2 years ago who played almost every in all games during the season. I don't think Pikes young o donovan is up to it yet but maybe a couple of season playing junior ball with will stand to him!
Conor Kavanagh looks very good since he came back and is above junior standard.
Agree with not resigning Kelly. Never saw him play well for the club.

It will be interesting to see what scully brings in over the off season. A few new big signings could be the little bit we were missing in the business end of the season.

[skyguy19]

is it true that scully told the players that if they sign for a junior team after this month they are gone

[L37Ultra]

is it true that scully told the players that if they sign for a junior team after this month they are gone

Sure none of the players would be able to sign with a Junior club until January? By then Limerick will be back pre-season training so why would any of them want to sign with a Junior Club with the intention of signing back with Limerick for next season?

[Jofspring]

is it true that scully told the players that if they sign for a junior team after this month they are gone

Ya that would be understandable. As L37Ultra says they would rule themselves out of pre-season which would be no good for Limerick and i don't think any junior club would want them for a couple of weeks if they are to re-sign with Limerick for the start of the LOI season. I'm sure Scully has already started talking to the players he wants to keep on anyway so whoever Limerick are not keeping on can sign junior if they want.

[leather]

if a player is contracted to limerick they cannot sign for any club....if they are not contracted it is their own choice.

[Jofspring]

if a player is contracted to limerick they cannot sign for any club....if they are not contracted it is their own choice.

Ya exactly so i think if Scully did say it it is because if any out of contract players sign junior they are basically ruling themselves out for next season as they won't be available for pre-season, makes sense to me.

[harpin]

Is O'Leary signed for next season..........

Crosses fingers and toes

Yup he sure is.

Your wrong all league of Ireland players can sign for junior clubs 1st Dec

[Monkfish]

Twigg and Chambers to the Boro b4 xmas.....fact! swear ta Gad!

[LK37oldskool]

anyone know for certain who's confirmed for next seasons panel?

[Lim till i die]

I think O'Flynn, O'Leary, Coughlan and Judge are signed for next year.

Wouldn't have a clue after that.

[kev08]

heard o flynn not being kept

[Jofspring]

heard o flynn not being kept

He already has a contract signed since this season for next season so if he was to leave wouldn't Limerick have to compensate him unless it was mutually agreed.

Andrew Bhandarkar is down as signed till the end of 2011 season also.

I presume everyone else is out of contract i.e Rogers, Bobby Ryan, Heary, Tierney, Clarke etc... as there has been no word on any of them.

[bluewhitearmy]

heard o flynn not being kept

Signing for Granville along with Tierney.

[Monkfish]

Signing for Granville along with Tierney.

Fella in PJ's chipper Thomondgate told me Balla already have a trial set up for him but Northside legacy have offered him a bag of cans and 20 benson so who knows?

[code red]

Ya exactly so i think if Scully did say it it is because if any out of contract players sign junior they are basically ruling themselves out for next season as they won't be available for pre-season, makes sense to me.

Lads, what happened to the lad from Cork D. Cahill. Looked a handy centre back but a bit injury prone.Has he left.

Ya! you hear that aswell? they offered him a house worth 10k (on the paper an all!) think its boarded up but thats soon sorted.

After hearing of Ballas interest they are now buying the curtains for the house too surely he cant turn that down.

[Monkfish]

He's already turned down Pike and they were offering 5k a week so who knows?

You still never answered how John Tierney is bettering himself?

well if hes goin to waterford in fairness arent they better than us at moment?

[rooney10]

tierney could surprise a lot of people by movin back to his boyhood club knockainey due to family reasons,and with his relation over the team again dis season..at least there in the mjc and fai unlike boro.. john is training with us this week because the season is over..

[Jofspring]

well if hes goin to waterford in fairness arent they better than us at moment?

This is the first mention of Waterford. People said he was signing for the boro. The Limerick lads began to find this rumour funny and that he is too good for junior. You then said that Monkfish was slagging Tierney off because he was bettering himself. First of all Monkfish wasn't slagging Tierney but the rumours about him and secondly there was no mention of Waterford till you made it up now so you had been implying him moving to Janesboro would be bettering himself which it clearly wouldn't.

If Tierney has to go back to Junior for personal reasons then thats his choice but to say he is bettering himself is total rubbish.

[Monkfish]

well if hes goin to waterford in fairness arent they better than us at moment?

They finished a few points ahead of us this year and will be playing in the 1st Div with us again next year. Hardly a giant leap for mankind. :D

Dunno why I bother sometimes but the off-season nonsence makes it worthwhile :hat:

[bluepowers]

if any signings our rumors are made about players joining the club

[Jofspring]

Would think it will be a while before we hear of new signings. Would like to see a few players from last season signing on and being announce. Cork City seem to have done well in this respect already making sure they hold onto their best players from last season.

[Jofspring]

Will need some serious signings to make up for this (http://limerickfc.ie/home/news/101108squad.html)

[osarusan]

Will need some serious signings to make up for this (http://limerickfc.ie/home/news/101108squad.html)

Horrendous news. I honestly think he's one of the best players I've ever seen in Division 1.

Let's hope nobody comes in for him (or offers enough) and he decides to stick it out at least the next season.

[kev08]

told ye he goin to waterford
