Limerick Premier Division 2019/20

[Treaty Gooner]

As far as the Boro are concerned it was always going to be hard to maintain the hunger after the success of recent years, for the players and for the managers. Aidan Ryan, like him or not, doesn’t have much to prove to anyone. The FAI being the only trophy they haven’t won in the last few years must be tough to take for them but it’s been a few years of success that any club would envy. The Clarke’s the same, strange as it might seem that they picked Ashling.... All things come to an end.

Very good points TG on both Fai competitions however I would point out objections have been part/parcel of the Junior cup going back many years,obviously effecting Limerick club participation last season which has lead to imo some over reaction in terms of what actually occurred...everyone is in the draw again after all......would certainly agree Oscar Traynor needs revampimg.Janesboro haul of trophies the last few seasons has indeed been impressive and plenty clubs would i.m sure like what the ..Cooks[shearers reference] served up.The Views visit to Pearse std Sunday should be interesting Purcell given the squad assembled will be looking for good cup runs.

Nice try, yawn.

[Kennycon]

So KC,..the Oscar... Traynor...is a pub competition and as you have previously posted the Junior Cup is finished,all you need to do now is denegrate the Mjc and the league to complete a clean sweep ,lets face it both those competitions have plenty ammunition for you to do so.
The attendance at the semi final will give you an indication how far back it has gone, the amount of elite clubs that found intermediate football more of an attraction that they were willing to drop down divisions to play. The fai junior cup has been plagued with objections due to rulings that are combined with senior status rulings which is totally ridiculous(professional/amateur). We have junior clubs struggling to get eleven players on a Sunday morning, the amount of walkovers last year took away some level of valuation from winning silverware, The oscar trainer competition has dwindled for years with counties dropping out, counties such as the Desmond league, south tipp and more, The latter who would have a strong influence in that competition, it is now represented by junior clubs (not counties) after years of trying to field a team on match day.

Yellow Lyons gone to Balla.
They sure love ex-LOI players out there.

Really????, I don’t think he is a player that’s is at a level to win elite trophies.

[Fairkop]

He,s joining the right club so,they don,t win elite trophies,

[deadly man]

Steven Bradley gone to Fairview,serious signing for them

[Shearer]

Just seeing that the FAI Junior Cup odds are out, interesting from a Limerick perspective:

Pike - 5/1
Balla - 12/1
Fairview - 14/1
AA - 16/1
Regional - 16/1
Boro - 25/1
Dines - 50/1

[Kennycon]

Pike are a very good price at that

[deadly man]

Pike are a very good price at that

Don't no how you can say any team at this stage chalked up at 5-1 is a good price

Pike and Fairview the only ones from limerick that have a realistic chance of winning it with a bit of luck imo

I think the addition of Robbie Williams is a huge plus with the current standard junior soccer is in. Fairview have seriously invested but will lose Rainsord in November.

[Fairkop]

The addition of Robbie Williams could be a huge minus too ….time will tell.

[Shearer]

I wouldn't be overly certain of Pike having the same manager in place for the season.

I understand and I agree time will tell,

Interesting times ahead , but the circumstances are hard to prove and costly process🤔

[Shearer]

Red Hanlon gone to Balla. Shaun Kelly and Jason Hughes to follow. Only problem being they'll be up sh*t creek without a paddle when/if they all leave in January.

If???

[Shearer]

League of Ireland pre-season, if there's a club there.

I would have my doubts even if there is a league of Ireland club that they will be apart of of it.

What’s all this craic on social media about itc

Here we go again !!!

Balla objecting to one of their ex players.Was in Aus few years ago.No shame whatsoever.

[Shearer]

Am I correct in saying that the league do a team/squad of the decade?

[deadly man]

Heard Ian Bennis may be contacted to take over Janesboro ,would be a great asset to them if they could get him

[Shearer]

Great bit of business by Pike signing Colm Walsh O'Loghlen.

[Shearer]

Shane Tracy signs for Annacotty, but as we all know...

Aisling don’t pay players

[Fairkop]

That's some self professed youth policy Aisling are pursuing haha.Does it matter anyway, they wont win trophies with the present mgt setup.

I'm fairly sure there's a young man of 19 or 20 starting left back and has played all the way along with his club. He's likely to be replaced by a fella who wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the money.

I agree and the manager was clubs was slating clubs for paying players

[Treaty Gooner]

Have to say fair play to Mick Ahern and to Sporting Limerick recently, some great content out there about local soccer despite the lack of sport. Really excellent listening to pass the time.
