wouldnt believe a word that comes out of hartnetts mouth to be honest, think the young fella likes the attention more than anything else

you have some serious issue with Keith Hartnett:confused:

Never once seen you post a good word about him when most one here regard him as the most consistently good player in the league over the last few years ... even your own crowd

and to say he likes the attention more than anything else shows just how little you know about the bloke

inexile

i have had several dealings with the man and dont like him as a person or a player and i think he is decidedly over rated

i know keith personally and i have to say aswell as beign a top junior player he's a decent bloke and if he does join lim37 pike will miss out on 20 goals a season and from midfield that's irreplaceable,he's a junior international and he's earned the right to be,over the last few seasons there's been no better midfielder in the town no wander he likes the attention he deserves it, but he dont bring it on himself other people start the rumours because they dont like him, maybe if they get to know him it might change their minds! i dont think he'll leave pike to go to lim37 but if he did nobody could begrudge him another crack at it

20 goals a season for the last three seasons and few international caps on top of that how can that be over rated give the man some credit he's a top player and a top bloke and pike would surely miss everything he brings to the team if he does leave!

I can only agree here - very over rated.The morning Pike played Fairview in the Fai Jason Purcell ran the show in the middle of the Park in the first half agaisnt Wall and Hartnett before running out of steam due to the fact he had not trained in about 3 months.I can only imagine what he would have done to them in his prime.

Know I asked previously re League history of past champions, and was grateful for suggestions, though difficult when not Ireland based. Have taken a gander at a number of Club websites and if correct
Ballynanty Rovers champions 1958/59, 59/60, 60/61, 61/62,62/63, 81/82
Fairview Rangers champions 1969/70, 1973/74, 75/76, 76/77, 88/89, 90/91, 91/92, 92/93, 93/94, 95/96, 96/97, 97/98, 98/99, 99/2000, 2002/03
Mungret Region Champions 1987/88
Pike Rovers Champions 2001/02 runners up 2002/03

Can anyone tell us details of champions and if possible runners up since 2002/03, and any other Premier league wins not shown above. Thought that Pike with their history would have had more titles.
Many thanks for any info forwarded.

Alan barry is an excellent striker but in my opinion he is not as good as Killesters front 2.He must be worth a place on the panel though.Gives a different option to the Killester speedsters.

alan carroll (boro) ger bourke (regional) paul cummins (aishling) brian buckley (fairview) that's only four plus the players that went up for training and add pat mcgarry to them that's 8 players that i think should be capped at some stage! mcgarry and buckley would make some partnership at centre half! what do you think?

i agree the killester pair are top class and work very well together, as balla found out recently, but we'll never know how good alan can be at international level if he dose'nt get the chance to prove himself.for some reason its harder to get selected if your playing in limerick.

he played centre half against balla on sunday and was solid! that young lad must be a good player if he gave "chucka" the run around, the only other player i seen give him the run around was frankie stewart when he played with pike, a load of times and "chucka" was an international centre half at the time! where's frankie playing these days i dont see his name on the paper that often

Shane did give Chucka the run around and even Monster and Nesta will agree with me.
Frankie is signed with Regional but I'm not sure if he doesn't turn up for them or if he is injured.

Was at the game-wasnt his best but it was also one of his first games in a long time so bound not to be sharp.Anyway playing Buckley at left full is madness.You put him in center half where he can dominate and play to his strengths.He is never gonna be the type of player that is overlapping the left winger.

Out of curiosity does the Trophy for winning the Limerick Premier League have a particular title ?
Though posted on relevant thread, would I be correct in that the Lawson Cup is seen as principle cup for the Limerick League ?
Though no longer a Premier team note that Caledonian FC from their web-site produced a souvenier History booklet in 2007 does anyone know how I can obtain a copy, dont seem to find a contact on web-site.
If anyone interested willing to post list of past champions (known).

They just have to be with a Junior Club at the time of the Irish game.

Sure Keith Hartnett was capped when the Irish Junior squad and he played with Limerick F.C a few seasons ago.

It might be different for players just coming back from loi, it think they have too play a certain number of games at junior level before been available for selection!Dont quote me on that.

I think you may be right though.

I presume it is Brian Buckley that you are talking about here.

Dont think he can play in that Junior Tournament coming up because as you said, he hasnt played a full season as a Junior player as he was with Limerick last year.

A Player can't play for Amatuer Intl. team if he has played or even signed Semi/Pro football at any stage in his career. I understand that in the next few years this will change. Players that have been out of Semi/Pro football for 5 years or more will be eligible to play.

A player can play Junior Intl. if he has played Semi/Pro football in the past.

There is also a rule that Players have to be under 35 years of age if they are to play Intl. at Amatuer Level.

Difference is, Amatuer grade is players that have never played Semi/Pro Football.Players that are Junior or Senior as in Leinster or Munster Senior League players are OK as long as they have never signed as Semi/Pro.

Players that have played Semi/Pro or even Leinster or Munster Senior League
football at some stage in their career are OK for Junior Intl Team as long as they playing Junior Football. For example, if Junior Intl. Team have a game next week, a player is eligible as long as he is playing for a Junior Club.Davy Wall was playing for Pike when he played for the Junior team, isn't Eligible for Amatuer because of playing Semi/Pro in the past.

Hope that clears it up.
