Limerick Division 1A 2006/07

[owngoal]

Bruff's manager Ray Hayes has stepped down, this seasons assistant manager has been promoted, unfortunately he is not very popular with most of the players and already four of the better players in the Bruff squad have left (Croom to benefit from two of them including Pip Moloney).

Best of luck to Ray and thanks for all the good work and achievemnents he has made with Bruff :ball:


Must have been a good manager to get the club promoted last season.

Also heard today that Ger Manahan from summerville is stepping down. Maybe some of the ville boys can shed some light.

[SummervilleRule]

Hadn't heard that myself! I was under the impression that he'd be staying on.

[Gerry the ferry]

Its true Ger Managhan has stepped down,he won sville d double in 1a not many managers can add that to there CV,heard he mite be goin to Carew pk,met the sville chairman at work and he informed me that cyril maher is going to be Player Manager,he has a tough job on hes hands with that bunch of lads

[booster 03]

Have to agree with u Gerry he has some job on he's hands with
them for next season,any reason for the manager standing down after all he had a great year last season with ye .

[Gerry the ferry]

Sorry lads i got wrong info,gerry isnt going to Carew he has stepped down due to work commitments,Cyril will have a tough job as he is by far and away the best player sville have and will find it hard tryin to keep every1 happy if they do not pick up results especially with him being part of the team

I reckon Mona would be a master tactician! lads i hope it does not mess up yere season after working hard to get promoted. get it sorted!

[themerryman]

Would of tought that they would get a guy with experience of managing a premier team to try and improve the team and keep them in the premier league for a few seasons,none of the two above have this ,

[Gerry the ferry]

Well they have to start somewhere Merryman and they"l know the players and the setup and im sure they are well respected as is cyril who i heard is out and out favourite for the post,they"l be relegated anyway so it doesnt matter

Thats a big loss to you's Kev, very good striker... who else is leaving?

[KevB76]

Thats a big loss to you's Kev, very good striker... who else is leaving?

Deccy Hayes (keeper), Brian Ahern, Paddy Moloney (to Holycross), Colin Madden, and Dermot left a couple of months ago. John A's retired aswell, he'll be assistant manager. Thats basically half the team. Tony Bourke and Eddie Hogan are staying though so all's not lost yet !

[Gerry the ferry]

Pip Maloney and Brian Ahern are 2 super soccer players and will be a major loss to Bruff if they leave,i cant understand why no premier team want to sign these 2 lads,they would be an asset to any club

why not put in a word for the with sville gerry, :)

[Gerry the ferry]

oh i will merryman dont worry,im just waitin for sville to appoint a new manager first

[summervilleman]

work commitements as far as im told merryman..lot of rumours goin around.. any truth in the rumour summervilleman that gorey and mona have beem offered the post???

No truth in that at all Booster....Both lads from what i hear will not be playing much premier next year due to work committments but they are making themselves available for selection if need be.....Think they are signin a b or c form!!!
Not to sure about the cyril maher situation either but he did get elected onto the committee so maybe some peopl got that confused with the post of manager,,..

[timmy]

jesus thats a massive shock. after winning the double you would of thought he could of carried it on. but work is work. summerville need to get new man in place quickly to get new signings in and to make sure enough preparation has been done for the new season.

who are contenders???? will they get someone from outside the club?????

[summervilleman]

I doubt they will get someone outside the club to manage us to be honest...It would be the right thing to do to be honest but i doubt it will happen..But stranger things have happened..But i do agree that a manager is needed pretty fast as players will want to know whats going on and if there is no one in charge they will go elsewhere!!!!It happened a few years ago(the year we got relegated from premier) when the manager left at the start of the year for personnal reasons,we lost a few players and barely won a game that year..No disrespect to the boys that came in but they did the best they could with what they had!!! Hoe rwe won't see the same happening again especially after the year we had!!! Doesn't look good though!!

[Gerry the ferry]

Well lads Cyril Maher told me today that he reckons he is still hot favourite for the post,he reckons the only other candidates are Mona and Gorey,Shane Fitz, and a 500-1 outsider in the shape of Dermot Hogan...lads theres great value in Dermot as he has great pull on the comittee so get yer bets on early

[see's it]

mike carey is taking over at s'ville

[Super Rovers]

mike carey is taking over at s'ville

and hes also signing a form for balla.

[Gerry the ferry]

Maher is taking over at Sville not Mike Carey

Cyril is a nice lad and i wish him the best of luck from everyone at Wembley

[timmy]

have an awful feeling your a disgruntled summerville man taking a sneaky go at your team mates. all good i suppose. (from all the posts when you just started on foot.ie)

anyway if cyril is taking over will he be player manager.

[themerryman]

have to agree with ya Timmy ,have him down to about 3 players with sville as
most of them on the site we know already,

[bald eagle]

summerville commitee meeting tonight.. only 2 candidates went for the job as joint managers...bobby o brien and dermot hogan..b team managers d last 2 or 3 years.players have a meeting tomorro nite after trainin to talk on the issue.. the impression i got was if the players are happy with the 2 above then they will be offered the job.
Whoever you are booster03 your information is incorrect, just goes to
show how someone of lesser mental abilities can get something so wrong
even when they are sitting in (by invitation) at a meeting.
committee business,as you are no doubt aware, is not for the public domain.
next time I see you at a meeting, I will explain this to you more clearly.

Have these guys ever managed a premier team before booster, would they be a good assset to the team and improve it from last year, it would be a shame to go straight back down after the year ye had ..

[see's it]

mike carey signed with munster

[Gerry the ferry]

Booster from what you said in the pub last weekend ,these guys haven't
a clue what they are doing,dont think all your team mates and the comittee will be happy with you broadcasting the clubs business online.
Shows alack of respect to all involved in your club.Any truth in the rumour that cyril maher is trying to get the job and called a meeting tonight
for yer support

Id say he means he is one of the best players Summerville ever produced not Wembley.

gaidin u are well behind in this tussle between me and gerry, and me tryin to prove he is summerville.

I dont believe he is a Wembley man either from his posts. He seems a little too sarcastic when talking about ye.

Quick question for sum'ville lads.. will you new field be ready for next season ???

new pitch wont be near ready. it will be ready supposedly for the start of 08/09 season.

Summerville will only have one pitch for next season so portland will be even worse (if thats possible) as it will be overused.

[KevB76]

Kevin Walsh memorial tournament :

Bruff United 5 - 3 Herbertstown

Cracking game, Bruff were really up for it with some very creative play, probably the best I've seen them play all year, made Herbertstown look ordinary. 1 - 1 at half time (missed the goals), Ed Hogan scored 5 mins into the second half, Herberstown put away a dubious penalty 5 mins later, followed up a minute later by a crafty free-kick catching out the Bruff defence while the ref was counting out the 10 yards, to make it 2-3. Bruff kept up the pressure and won an equally dubious penalty after Pip moloney had jinked past five defenders in the Herbertstown box. Ed Hogan put that one away, '90' bundled another one across the line in a goalmouth scramble, and Ed completed his second half hat trick with a well placed header from the back post. Most of this seasons Bruff team played, with a few new faces getting a run out towards the end. Well done Bruff, brilliant performance :ball:

[see's it]

why is he called '90'?

[KevB76]

why is he called '90'?

Dont know why bud, he's been called 90 for as long as I can remember.

[see's it]

joe 90,italia 90 or the crack was 90 it could be 1 of them

[Jock MIB]

why is he called '90'?

Because he can bend the ball Ninety degress when taking his famous free kicks :) that guy is the best free taker i have ever seen.
