2015 Squads

[gael353]

No offense to cork but thats a massive clime down for smith. He was tipped to be rangers first choice by year end before they imploded. I always felt his nationality would prevent him being a success there tough. His then signing was more PR me thinks

I'm not sure going from Scotlands division 1 to the LOI is a step down

Sully is very much on top of the signings here, but for the benefit of those outside the fold the somewhat patchy looking list as it stands does not include 'keeper Matt Connor, wide man Ross Fitzpatrick and forwards Mikie Rowe, Daryl Power and Ethan Boyle. All five were dual U19/Senior players last season and will be again this year.

All five were dual U19/Senior players last season and will be again this year.

I have based the squad list on the players announced by the club. The only three U19 players I've heard of been signed so far are Aaron O Connor, Shane Mackey and Ross Fitzpatrick. I'm expecting the club to announce several U19 players to join the first squad for the forthcoming season a long with a couple of other players.

[paykanti]

Where's Kevin Burns, Conor Coad, Gavin O'Donovan, John Frost, Andrew O'Connor, Kevin, O'Connor, Glen Hawe, Mark Walsh and Vinny Sullivan? Hawe and Walsh are the only ones who have featured in pre-season so I presume the rest are gone?

Kevin Burns is gone to America afaik. I think Conor Coad, Andrew O'Connor and Gavin O'Donovan have gone back to junior football. Glen Hawe, Greg Peel and Willie Jon Kiely have been playing with the Blues in preseason but the club are yet to announce whether they are signing or not. Mark Walsh has played a game with the Blues in preseason but I've heard he has another offer on the table. As for Kevin O Connor heard he's been training with Hull and had couple offers from Premier LOI sides (Expected to lose him before last season ended). And John Frost and Vinny Sullivan are now coaches with the Blues.

[Sam_Heggy]

Harps have added RuairI Keating and Regan Donelon from Sligo Rovers and Nathan Boyle from Derry.

Keating is a massive boost to Harps.

This squad on paper now looks pretty strong. If Harps can get a good start they should be able to compete much better than the last number of seasons.

What is the most up to date odds now for the first division?

[Mr A]

Paddy Power:
Shelbourne 7/4
Athlone Town 10/3
Wexford Youths 10/3
UCD 10/3
Waterford United 20/1
Finn Harps 25/1
Cobh Ramblers 25/1
Cabinteely FC 40/1

What is the most up to date odds now for the first division?

Shouldn't be too far off. A large squad at Horgans disposal now. I just hope to feck he's not negative and goes out and attacks teams with the options there now.

Not sure on odds, but I'm now delighted I took a Harps (25/1) and Cork (9/2) double e/w.

Thats a decent bet alrite

[wonder88]

Agree Keating is a good signing/return, I was hoping Galway would have tried to get him.

[nigel-harps1954]

Agree Keating is a good signing/return, I was hoping Galway would have tried to get him.

Apparently a few clubs wanted him and Harps were his own choice.

[redobit]

Apparently a few clubs wanted him and Harps were his own choice.

Not much chance for him to get into the Rovers team with Nielsen, Corcoran and probably Raff ahead of him. Im sure he'll get his chance with us sooner or later. Hopefully he gets a load of goals for Harps, it can only be good for us in the long run. Apparently the loan is only till the summer. Don't know about Donelon. Seen him a few times and wasn't convinced.

I thought James Kavanagh from UCD had joined you as well?

He headed off to Australia or somewhere foreign.

LMFM saying Daryl Kavanagh has signed.

[Martinho II]

Ger Pender and Conor O'Brien not signed on?

Pender was involved in preseason except today. I have heard since that he has gone to Cabinteely. Conor O Brien not a word on him yet! he wasnt involved today.

[dejadem]

Last year's squad looked pretty shoddy too and it still got the job done, tbf.

Compared to other bottom half clubs last years squad was far from shoddy.
O'Neill, Holohan, G Brennan, Grimes, McNally, Fabio, Foley were here this time last year, now we have 6 or 7 u-19s brought in just to fill out the squad.

Sam Oji has signed for Galway United

[Olander]

The jersey is ruined by the sponsor, it doesn't sit right on it at all. What's with the terrible red outline around it?

[Mr A]

Gavin Dkes looks to have calmed down a lot compared to his old, angrier self.

Very little between ourselves and you lot last night, you could see Drogs were really lacking a focal point up front where as we had Sully, Shaw and Don to hit at different times. The addition of Kavanagh should help big time.

But light up front

[Jofspring]

Most fighting at the bottom of the table are a bit light up front.

[gufc2000]

Ideally it'd be great to get another striker, left winger and central defender but I doubt we'll sign three more players at this stage.

Ian Sweeney still linked, but didn't play against Athlone at the weekend.

Jaysus. At the end of last season I thought Limerick were positioned to be pushing for Europe.

Haven't got the support over the last two years to budget for a stronger squad. A few of he 19's will do a job but a long season ahead.

[Dodge]

Jaysus. At the end of last season I thought Limerick were positioned to be pushing for Europe.

You weren't paying attention at the end of last season so. Awful team and that was with Gaffney and Oji

[Jofspring]

Finished 6th in the league of the back of a good finish to the season. From August onwards we were a match for anyone in the league when the team was fully fit.

[da bishop]

well we are supposed to have spent a lot of dosh on the 19s set up and plenty sound bites by those in charge about how good they are so this baptism will soon tell,however going on what has been produced up to now think a few candles need to be light to St Jude.
