Transfer Rumours 2005

[OpenGoal]

i know but we here in clare keep hearing how good the football & teams in limerick are.. shannon olympic are an average clare league team... having said that they will consider this a great result...

also just trying to get point across if summerville looking to win first division in limerick . they shoul be beating the likes of shannon olympic


I wouldnt gauge too much from that result. Summer ville said they were missing a few players, and I know olympic were missing 4-5 regulars, but good result for us all the same. Average team Old Boy, excuse yourself :D

Hacker / opengoal my little olympian friends, twas said in jest. I'm sure we will have plenty to say to each other once the season kicks off.

Meanwhile any new faces at Olympic, anyone Special??? (couldn't resist) :D

[OpenGoal]

Hmmm............. I s'pose youre keeping your lapdog old boy amused so at least you have an audience. Maybe if you threw him a ball and asked him to find the corners we'd be spared his posts for the first half of the season.

Dont know about any new signings, heard Eamonn O'Neill scored vs summerville, so he must have gotten a call-up and there were rumours of John Ryan from bunratty also joining but cant confirm.

how about Newtown, are ye strong this year? anyone in (or more importantly out - we might try and poach them)?

movin on...we had eamonn at Newtown a few years ago, decent player. John Ryan would be a good signing for ye too. All of last years players signed again & we have a few new faces training with us. We'll be decent on paper but winning something will depend on the work ethic & attitude to training. Heard nobbers has been reinstated as Park Manager..any info on what went on there?

[summervilleman]

Yes we will be pushing for promotion this season but a loss in a pre season friendly to an average clare league team is not a disaster in any way lads....Thats why there are pre-seasons...Trying out new things and new players and if they don't work in a pre-season then u are going to try something else in another game.....Its all about learning....learn from your mistakes...also can't win them all...wouldn;t dig to much into any pre-season games either...When the league starts up and we lose a few games then i will start to worry!!

[OpenGoal]

Who was your goalkeeper the other night summervilleman, apparently the best player on the park?

Eamonn O'Neill, nice player all right, on his good days he can create havoc. On bad days, even more havoc, usually ending in him getting an early bath. Also heard a rumour that Pa Twomey will be with Olympic next year. Dont know muchabout him, but if he is anything like his brother he cant be too bad.

carew park squad for next season

[widow]

excellent squad, must be favourites for the premier league this year, no one can compete with a squad like that

[flipper]

you mean damian quinlivan instead of damian constable do you?

[Goals4fun]

excellent squad, must be favourites for the premier league this year, no one can compete with a squad like that

good squad.
will 45% of them be happy to sit on the bench when they would get a game each weekend with a lot ofr premier teams.

[widow]

ya put the teams they'd get on would be battling to stay up,
some of those new signings the top clubs wouldn't go near, too much trouble

[Happy Zapper]

How can you say they will be favourites to win the prem league and then say the above. What player there is too much trouble? Never understand people saying that. Maybe I am reading it wrong?

[summervilleman]

Who was your goalkeeper the other night summervilleman, apparently the best player on the park?


That would have been brian slattery...fine keeper...Played very well on the night..He is our 3rd choice keeper belive it or not......

[LimerickYouth]

I bet the Limerick Junior teams are hot on the heals of the Limerick U 21 players. Some good quality there! Anyone one heard anything?

[red metal]

Abbey utd the current sligo leitrim champions will be making a good push for the fai junior cup with the signing of KEITH CARTY/COLIN JINKS/JOHN GAFFNEY/NEIL MCKENNA/GLEN SHANNON/DAMIEN SHANNON/DAMIEN SCANLON.Carty and Scanlon are still with Castlebar until the end of the season!And then they will join up with there old team mates!and the rest join from glenview who were last years beaten finalist in the con cup!these guys are all top players but the pick for me is glen shannon!

[widow]

anyone know who ross cosgrave is gone to after being released by limerick?

[Roadend]

anyone know who ross cosgrave is gone to after being released by limerick?


He was up training with Fairview.

[Bonovox]

Ross Cosgrave has signed with the 'View

[widow]

if he gets back to what he was, he'll be a significant signing for the view. Fairviews defence was dodgy tho last season even with buckley, now he's gone I think they'll struggle at the back. They've signed ian bennis rumour has it, can someone from the view confirm this?

[backodanet]

They've signed ian bennis rumour has it, can someone from the view confirm this?

he has signed but i think he is struggling with injury

what happened to lewis and lynch

[lim abroad]

didn't lynch retire last season i think and lewis is just a dodgy keeper.heard that mick ahearne was up training with them as well

[widow]

mick aherne has played and trained with a few clubs this pre season. heard he signed with regional. Lewis is gone to wembley, lynch has signed for the view

[lim abroad]

is heffernan gonna play for the view this year?

[clownboy]

Ya Barry Heffernan has signed with the View

[abbeyvale]

Ya Barry Heffernan has signed with the View


Ger Collopy, Alan Morton, John Barry, John Clifford, Graham Carey, Pa Barry & Peter Clarke (all Abbey last season) Brian Doherty (Ex Balla), Leonard O'Grady & Derek Hannon (ex Dines) have all signed with Star Rovers.

[progress]

i think if u have a look at the facts widow,it was the forwards that let fairview down at the end of last season,simply they didnt have a decent forward apart from davey wall.i think thats where there problem was.do u agree.they still didnt concede many goals,but were not scoring at the other end.

[clownboy]

i HEARD THAT Frank Browne , Mick Aherne, Rossi And Brendan Hugehes have signed with the View.They are all great signings for them and they will definately challenge now for the league although i still think they will need another forward to partner Davey wall cos he will get 20 goals no doubt but i cant seem them coming from anywhere else although Mick Aherne would score a few playing on the right i would say

[widow]

frank browne wow!

[flipper]

frank browne wow!

i agree widow, WOW!They still havent replaced kelleher and barrett.

[abbeyvale]

i HEARD THAT Frank Browne , Mick Aherne, Rossi And Brendan Hugehes have signed with the View.They are all great signings for them and they will definately challenge now for the league although i still think they will need another forward to partner Davey wall cos he will get 20 goals no doubt but i cant seem them coming from anywhere else although Mick Aherne would score a few playing on the right i would say

Mick Aherne???? you must be kidding me, he's as bad as Browne

[lim abroad]

it'll be interesting to see if rossi can stay injury free and recapture the form he showed 3 seasons ago

[abbeyvale]

it'll be interesting to see if rossi can stay injury free and recapture the form he showed 3 seasons ago


Looks like he has

[summervilleman]

I agree with u abbeyvale and he's doing a good job scoring by the sounds of it as well!!!

[abbeyvale]

I agree with u abbeyvale and he's doing a good job scoring by the sounds of it as well!!!

Paddy Mitchell (ex Pike) has signed with Fairview.

Mike (Jaws) Ryan has taken over the Mungret Prem side. (They'll definatley go down now)

[l.f.c......]

monty has signed with carew park the player signed the form last week and balla signed it this week official. i think that could turn out to be a great signing for carew they lacked a bit of pace of front that signing could really help carew push for honours this season.

[clownboy]

Ya he is a handy player alright but i think that he will add to their already terrible discipline(he is prone to a sending off or 2 ) problems..What is it now 4 red cards in six games for Carew.I heard there is a bit of hassle in the camp too Paul Quinn walked off against Regional and Pa Mcgarry in the last game against Granville apparantly on his way to the Boro..Dont know how true that is though But he does go through a lot of clubs ...we will have to start calling him Tiger :o :o

[l.f.c......]

3 players sent off not 4 but agree thats still pretty poor as for mcgarry and paul quinn everthing grand there both had long talks with the manager and everything is fine. but discipline needs to improve if they can get that right they will be a very hard team to beat but getting it right is the prob

[clownboy]

Ya definately they area good team and squad..I can see them taking points off the The likes of the View Boro Pike and Balla But throwing silly points away against the likes of Regional and Hill celtic

[Monster]

Carew look to be very strong this season - that is a good signing.If fairview can keep all the young players they have at the moment they will be a force again in a year or 2 down the road i reckon.

[Nemesis]

Paddy Mitchell (ex Pike) has signed with Fairview.

Mike (Jaws) Ryan has taken over the Mungret Prem side. (They'll definatley go down now)

What a joke, how can Mungret justify getting rid of Pat Irwin and replacing him with Jaws Ryan, talk about not learning from your mistakes. If any of the mungret lads are logged on - run while you have a chance and don't look back.

[clownboy]

What happened there did they get rid of him or did he walk??

[Nemesis]

monty has signed with carew park the player signed the form last week and balla signed it this week official. i think that could turn out to be a great signing for carew they lacked a bit of pace of front that signing could really help carew push for honours this season.

Carew have plenty of fire power and Monty will only add to that, where they will struggle in in the back

[Nemesis]

What happened there did they get rid of him or did he walk??

I was told it was the former, it just goes to show the kind of thinking that goes into things. Did they not look at his previous clubs and what happened there? Was he not the manager of mungret before and what happened then. Mungret always found it hard to attract players but now .. forget it.

[water boy]

What a joke, how can Mungret justify getting rid of Pat Irwin and replacing him with Jaws Ryan, talk about not learning from your mistakes. If any of the mungret lads are logged on - run while you have a chance and don't look back.

1a next year...1b year after if he manager and so on......a total waister
