Tommy Barrett!

[L37Ultra]

There was a really strong rumour going around Jackman Park friday night that Tommy Barrett is coming back in July and even a few of the players I was talking to last week (ex-Rovers players) said that Tommy was coming back in the middle of July!! Can anyone give further detail on this (e.g) Oldkeeper, cause he would be a great signing for Limerick37!! True man Limerick man and fan!!

your some gob****e its more to do with the club getting them back rovers didnt want any of them to go it was the players who requested to return to their home club and more power to them for doin it

They are great players. It was the travelling not their football ability that made the difference. They were training at least twice a week in Dublin and then playing a game on Fridays.

didnt they know that before they went up?:confused:

Don't know what Planet your on bud, but these guys were never slagged for leaving & everyone welcomes them back except yourself. Have you ever been to a Limerick match? Doubtful i'd say!

[gspain]

I think it is different when you actually do it. The traffic will wear you down.

they left when it looked like we may not even have a club. Now we're 3rd in the league and with a bit of luck could be back in the premier division next season.

Thats such a stupid comment!! Every Limerick fan realised that these 3 players were ambitious and that they didnt want to return to Junior soccer in Limerick and wen Shamrock Rovers came in for them , they thought there would be no Senior soccer team in Limerick so they left!! I can guarentee you that not one Limerick fan slagged or abused Colbert, kelleher and barrett!! They are local legends as Needtoknow said!!

P.S See u in Monaghan!!

This is taken from the Shamrock Rovers website:

New signings at Rovers

Shamrock Rovers' boss Pat Scully has made three new signings to strengthen his squad as the Hoops aim to maintain their Premier Division title charge. Midfielders John Martin (from Longford Town), David Tyrrell (Bray Wanderers) and Ross Moran (Cherry Orchard) have joined, while striker Padraig Amond (Kildare County) and goalkeeper John McGuinness (Kilkenny City) are back following loan periods.
"John and David are both experienced players who will add a lot to our squad," says Scully. "Ross is coming from Cherry Orchard and he's a great prospect with an exciting future. Several other clubs were trying to sign him, but the fact that he chose Shamrock Rovers above everyone else says a lot about him and what this club can offer players."
In the other direction, Ian Ryan and Jamie Duffy have both gone out on loan to Longford Town for the rest of the season, while Tommy Barrett has been released. "Ian and Jamie have gone on loan to Longford as part of the deal that brings John Martin to Rovers," Scully explains. "While Tommy was released by mutual consent. "The travelling to and from Limerick took its toll. He's a lovely lad, he did a really good job for us, but in fairness it was very difficult for him and we wish him well."

Nice comment from Scully. i like this guy and wish him the best with his managerial career which hes handling very well. hes an asset to the EL.

good news on tommy returning as well. seriously.. some great signings by the club. well done to all involved. all the best for the rest of the season!

No, that was probably directed towards you but your head is so far up your hole the echo may have made it seemed it was put in their direction.

Oh christ you again. Well not only did those three Limerick players go to Rovers but Austin O'Neill went to Kildare county (and wants to come back) John Lester is with Galway united and doing quite well, Dave Miller and Conor Sinnott are going well at Wexford and Colin Heffernan is ammm at Athlone so eight players of last years team left and three have chosen to return so im lost as to what your point is.

[gael353]

So Barrett, Tierney, Colbert and Kelliher have signed as did Harnett/Hartnet but he asked for time away as he wanted to get another international cap/holiday so he wont be comming at this time. "Talk to my dad!" your 25 Keith!:eek:

[joeSoap]

Derek McCarthy...cult hero and penalty box predator has also signed...:D:D;)

[uncle fweddy]

Thats a very strong squad that we have now,Roll on friday night,
Is Tommy fit to play at the moment? I thought he got a knock last week

[shelbourne1904]

It has happened!!!!

[shelbourne1904]

Not much defensive cover though and thats where most suspensions come from!!:ball:

[Lim till i die]

I had a fair idea Mr. Barrett was signing early Saturday Morning

Just didn't want it splashed all over foot when it wasn't complete yet (Fat Chance :p)

Ryan
Keady
Purcell
Finny
Chuka
Waters
Barrett
Colbert
Cosgrove
Moran
Kelleher

Nine more or less locals in that side. Can it do it??

[Gerry the ferry]

Its great the 3 lads are back from Rovers,3 super players shouldnt be long now before Wayne and Robbie start banging the goals in especially with Tommy in midfield,I was talking to Tommy at work yesterday and he said he is proud to be back and he cant wait to be back playing premier football next season,UP THE LIMS

[Lim till i die]

He moving on again at the end of the season??

Kevin was right about him :mad::p

[the dazzler]

why did lim37 announce the signing of hartnett so?if hes not signing

[pearse4t3]

They probably didnt realise that he had to get his fathers permission, they taught his word was enough.

Nail hit firmly on the head! :mad:

What i know about lim 37 isn't much, But in my humble opinion we got to third in the league without these players who returned from THE SHAMS
i hope we don't upset the teams balance by bringing these lads straight back in to the team in the place of the others who have worked their socks off to get us into third spot
just my opinion
Any thoughts on this ?

[Fairkop]

Derek McCarthy...cult hero and penalty box predator has also signed...:D:D;)

not a cult hero with everyone joe...however with carty,kelleher,colbert,tierney,barret,and possibly one or two more skee has actually got to pick a team now.the squad is very strong we should be looking at a top 2 place.great to see barret back.

[gael353]

Sorry maybe i didnt explain myself prop. He has signed, but then asked for the holiday for a month or so..he wont be registered and wont become a Limerick player thats all,:rolleyes:

are you thick he never actually signed a form he told lim37 he would sign then changed his mind he wants to play with the irish junior team lim37 jumped the gun buy saying it

[greenandwhite]

are you thick he never actually signed a form he told lim37 he would sign then changed his mind he wants to play with the irish junior team lim37 jumped the gun buy saying it

so your saying that he made a verbal agrement and backed out of it thats bad form no mater what way you look at it and he done this 2 times i would say he bottled out says a lot about his ambition

[greenandwhite]

but conne will probably get him a full international from the junior caps cause hes mr fix it of all the people in lim he has tried to do most damage to the lims woth buses to other clubs and inside info he is a one man band

[4tothefloor]

So Keith is giving Limerick a miss just so he can play a junior international friendly? Junior international caps aren't worth ****, doesn't really make sense. IF it is true it's a brainless decision on his part :ball:

[L37Ultra]

Not much defensive cover though and thats where most suspensions come from!!:ball:

Ya but now that we have Barrett in Centre Mid, I hope Ski will use Conor Molan as a cover defensive player!!

I dont think this will happen!! These 3 players are different class in my opinon!! When kelleher and colbert have the right attitude they are class players and u can always relie on Tommy!! And ya of course these players have worked their socks off for third so far but with the 3 players coming in I think they can still work their socks of and get 2nd or at least hold off the challenge of Finn Harps!! I said at the start of the season that it was a small squad and fitness would play a huge part of the whole season and with the squad getting bigger, it can only be a positvie!! :D:D

[inexile]

it wouldnt be the first time he has backed out of a "verbal contract" as far as i know 2 years ago before he signed for pike he told shane o hanlon he was going to sign for the boro. Before im attacked by any pike people, im not certain of this but im very confident its true

[L37Ultra]

Will Tommy + McCarthy be able to play on Friday night?
