Limerick Premier Division 2018/19

[Kennycon]

It won’t happen because the clubs with all the resources here in the city are full of players and managers who couldn’t make it at a higher level and now think they are fantastic because they are hammering teams on completely different playing field.......and the funny thing is the standard in town has never been worse
Strange comment

[blueboy2]

Premier league by name only Boro 15 nil up and match blown up with 20 minutes to go also Nenagh beaten 10 2 and Kilmallock beaten by a 2 A team and last but not least Carew give a walk over.
All the hype about Balla and Pike match with Pike winning 2 nil and Pike playing most of the second half with ten men and never looked like losing.
Also no Oscar Traynor manager could be found for the limerick league so Janesboro F.C. will now represent Limerick in the Oscar Traynor trophy.

[deadly man]

Has anybody got todays teams for the balla pike game

[Fairkop]

Has anybody got todays teams for the balla pike game

McNamara,hughes,meehan,guerin,lucy,donnan,hughes,f itzgerald,byrnes,nolan,noonan,...…...Neville,malle y,donavon,patterson,Donavon,kavanagh,mcgann,daly,r ainsford,grant,hanrahan,.....Pike easily the better team until McGann sent off (harshly, given Fitzgerald should have gone prior to halftime)by which time they 2 up.

[passandmove]

What's wrong kennycon? Did I bruise your ego or something? At least the boro lads get another shot at an fai tournament, this league becomes more laughable as the weeks go by

[Kennycon]

Standard at the top isn't bad at the bottom it's poor and the gap has opened up , pike won the Munster junior which I would consider a very good trophy, carew won the touhy cup the year before AA won it. Balla were going for 3 Lawson cups in a row and doing ok this year, yes the gap has opened up and times have changed. Boro, pike, balla, regional and fairview all have good sides, the Desmond league is by far worse, the dublin league was dominated by sheriff for years, st Michaels have the league won already lol.

[Treaty Gooner]

Fair point KC, I did include the managers when I was dishing out the shame. Obviously they didn’t ask or didn’t agree to blow it up before the 15th goal. The standard at the bottom of the premier is bad. The scorelines show that. In the middle it’s middling with little or no chance of winning anything. At the top it’s decent but that’s it. 3 or 4 good teams, same as most leagues in the region. A North Munster Senior League is a great idea. Let’s see if the big teams are ok with only one team winning that league every year. They’ll come running back looking for a Charleville to make them feel better.

[Treaty Gooner]

Different manager there I think but yes, what goes around comes around. Carew and Charleville to go down at this stage? Didn’t Charleville hammer Nenagh recently too?

If pike beat boro league is over because the teams at the bottom half have no chance of taking any points off the top teams, I can see pike cleaning up TBH. Would there be a chance of a senior league amongst the elite teams in Munster or would that cost too much?.

You'd probably have a lot of clubs from the other regions looking to sponsors, selling more lottery tickets etc.
I'm sure the 'benefactors' would help out around town.

Could be a step forward with regard to a proper football pyramid in Ireland, but everything said here is hypothetical so.

[passandmove]

Surely the dines should represent the league now in the next match that other crowd are hopeless

Massive win for the dines , it has been a tough season for the boro , transition time for them

[passandmove]

Like I said already pike will win no fai

[booster 03]

Like I said already pike will win no fai

youre getting very cranky in your old age passandmove :p

[Kennycon]

Strange statement but everyone has an opinion

[Fairkop]

Huge chance missed by the View to get a rare win over Pike today,to be 2 goals ahead against ten men and get pegged back ….good point for Prospect v high flying Regional.Boro the big winners from those results after beating Aisling.

Fairview keeper that stepped in for Ryan today was outstanding,i watched Ryan the last few weeks and he has been very average to say the least
Pike will still win the league imo
I still can't believe Aidan Ryan didn't bring in a few central defenders last summer,what he has is absolutely abysmal and he no's it and it will end up costing him his job
Poor result for regional
Another 3 points for Derek Hannan's dines last Saturday evening,If there giving out awards for manager of the season this year Derek has to be a strong candidate

[Treaty Gooner]

It’s a poor league this year overall lads. Carew, Charleville, Nenagh just haven’t shown up. Carew and Charleville were in a cup final last year for god sake.

[Ballistinianlad]

Did everyone emigrate lol

[passandmove]

Ah pep shields and the lads will tonk someone locally by 7 or 8 in the next few weeks pal and the guff talk will start again , sad stories are for granny’s.....pike win no fai

[Shearer]

The morale of the thread: Shame on the good teams for being good.

[Fairkop]

Well PaM,YOU BACK...again,you can,t stay away can you from the greatest juniorball league in the world LOL.....more like Roddy Sheils ,and shock ..I agree Pike will win no Fai.

[Kennycon]

Pike topside and will continue to win trophies.

[passandmove]

Top side ?? 1 up against 10 men who missed a pen and couldn’t see it through........strange statement but sure your entitled to your opinion

[Kennycon]

Yes topside , they are consistently winning trophies, still in with a shout of the league and going for 3 Munster juniors in a row.

[Fairkop]

Pike are a top side ,a top side put together to win trophies which no doubt they will,but their not winning the big one and like PAM says ,couldn't do it when it mattered v ten men.

[Kennycon]

Most if not all the topside local clubs are trying to put teams together to win, that's the nature of the sport. But pike in the last ten years have been the most successful at it. Yes it's about opinions but the trophy stats are there to be seen. Boro also going for 3 leagues in a row is a huge achievement considering local clubs have changed their strategies.

[passandmove]

Strategies that pike and boro have been using for long time and yet only 1 fai between them , stop for god sake

[Johnnie C]

Which club in Limerick would be the best supported?

[deadly man]

Great win today for Regional against the Boro

Hopefully Pike beat Janesboro now next week,it will be one of Aidan Ryan's last games in charge
Daithi and Shane O Hanlon back over the team next season are the rumours floating about,a lot of the players not happy with the current Coach !!!!!

Regional seem to have the upper hand on boro, I think boro have an objection and are looking for 3pts.

[Kennycon]

Boro have an objection in.

[Shearer]

Boro have an objection in.
Rightfully so.

[Kennycon]

Rightfully so.

Was he suspended?

[Fairkop]

Great win for the View tonight v Balla which seriously dents their league ambitions ,Judge with the goal and well deserved victory it was too.Why are Regional playing a player who is illegal in their games?Both junior and senior Fai councils have said so.

[Human 1]

Regional are playing him because they believe that he is not illegal. They have broken no rule. The FAI have yet to inform them which rule they have broke. Once again, you only need International clearance if his last registration was outside the jurisdiction of the FAI. The LDMC who accepted his registration for this season AND last season is not outside the jurisdiction of the FAI..which is why Regional have taken this to arbitration.

Fairkop I don’t think he is suspended but I stand to be corrected, regional are in arbitration so I assume he can play under appeal.

Kennycon, this has nothing to do with suspension. This is to do with international clearance.

[Kennycon]

If he’s illigel why has the ldmc not suspended the player , if a club has not received notification that the player is suspended surely he is ok to play

[Shearer]

He's not officially illegal yet for lack of a better term. Once Regional's arbitration comes to an end we'll know for definite.
The player is not suspended.

[Kennycon]

Makes sense

[Shearer]

Makes sense
But once it inevitably comes out that he's illegal then Janesboro, and now Geraldines if they so wish, will have no hassle getting three points.

[Human 1]

You might tell me what rule Regional broke...surely they are not responsible for Aishling not doing their registration properly at the start of season 2017/2018. Rule states Regional are only responsible if his last registration was outside the FAI jurisdiction...Arbitration will put Boro back in their box,,, And all this it happening because of "poor Aishling". none of this would be happening if it wasn't for them.

[Kennycon]

But once it inevitably comes out that he's illegal then Janesboro, and now Geraldines if they so wish, will have no hassle getting three points.

I can see Geraldine’s objecting, for definite boro will but I don’t think it will make a difference to where the league is going.

LDMC have a lot to answer for.They've accepted and registered this player for 3 or more years and had no issue with it.Now all of a sudden they are more than likely to say that this player is illegal but yet let him play for last few years KNOWING he was illegal?.So basically they will let any player play away KNOWING he IS illegal and just sit back and wait for an objection and if there is none you can play away,Also to get International Clearance you obviously had to have played in another Country and be registered in that same Country,I'm sure Janesboro will have to prove that he was a REGISTERED player in another Country to win their objection,cannot fathom how FAI removed Regional from Junior Cup without any proof that that lad was a REGISTERED player in another Country.Surely to God the onus is on the objecting club to prove and have that PROOF that a player was REGISTERED in another Country and if they can't then they have no case.

Crazy stuff , But your post makes a lot of sense. Looks like the league will be won by an objection but it could have been avoided.

[Treaty Gooner]

If Boro win the appeal is that one hand on the league trophy again?

Why have Pike and Boro left to play?

And Balla?

Hasn't that always been the case.

[Shearer]

Janesboro play the Oscar Traynor Final on Sunday in Kilkenny and then 53.5 hours after that game kicks off they'll play Balla away to win the league.
It's not much better for Pike who have a 72 hour gap between their Munster Junior Cup Final and their potentially league winning fixture at home to Annacotty.
Unbelievable.
