Limerick Premier Division 2007/08

[Super Rovers]

Kerley attends most junior matches in all fairness he has to, where else is he gonna get players if i was ian sullivan i wouldnt allow him watch too many aishling matches!!!

well since he plays with aisling i dont think ian sullivan has a choice. and maybe thats why he is at most junior matches also

[summervilleman]

What i meant was....... the star boys seen kerley nd played out of their skin hoping for a contract, they seen him as a way out of all their relegation troubles. It would be a true roy of the (star)rovers story, from what ive heard they did impress him so heres hoping

Its a sad state if it takes Mike Kerley watching you to make you play well...Don't think I've seen him at a Pike match all season either..

[see's it]

theres a reason for that.....................

[Monkfish]

Don't think I've seen him at a Pike match all season either..

Thats cause in head of the 'Pike watch' department and I report directly to Magic Mike. :)

Pike as a team just seem to have that bit more quality than everyone else at the minute. Personally theirs a few lads around the town id like to see have a go at the senior lark and a few more I reckon should have another go. Whether or not they or Mike are even bothered remains to be seen.

Oh and that Wembley v Fairview game last Thursday was entertaining stuff!

That why you attend mostly Summerville matches? He probably knows none of the Pike/Fairview/Balla lads want to play "Senior" soccer anyway,their quite happy with winning local medals.

Its more like there just not up to it. There 2 maybe 3 lads on the Pike team and on the Fairview team id like to see having a go. If your happy to continue playing Junior for the rest of your life then theres nothing wrong with that but considering theres quite a number of players in the Premier (LOI) these days earning a few grand a week then id have to question the ability and mentality of some of the 'better' players who are happy to knock around a local junior league.
And for the record, our season was already written off before we played our first game, however the last few months have been the most stable (off the pitch) for senior soccer in Limerick for a long time, thats not to say things wont go tits up in the next 5 minutes but we're on the right path.

I'd reckon less than half the current L37 squad get on a top Junior team. Manjor didn't start regular for AA,Liam Barrett/Paul Danagher, nice guys now but aren't anything special and would struggle to get on Balla/Pike/View. I could go on but its rather pointless.

I'd imagine the majority of players simply couldn't be bothered traveling the length and breath of the country every second week to more than likely struggle. Whilst having a day time job on top of it. And considering 80-85% of LOI players don't/won't make it anywhere in particular and earn a meager wage for the privilege, I just personally can't see the appeal.

Whereas you can play at a relatively highish junior standard,stay local no fuss with travel in particular. Have the chance to win some medals etc. Chance to play for your country. And after a match a few pints,no bother.

I know where the smart mans choice is.

But saying that I do understand where your coming from.

A major problem indeed and il say half our current squad should be fecked off next month, if their replaced by more lads from UL then il be very dissapointed. I mean players like that legend Mike Monaghan with Summerville should be given a chance. :)

The player that has stood out for me anytime iv seen him is Alan Barry (what would Boro do without him?) and id like to see more of Fairview and Wembley.

alan is def good enough to play loi again.
there must be a few more playing ot that would give it a good shot !!

[summervilleman]

Corbally 3 - 2 Star

I hear star only started with 9 men with pa boland playing as well for them!! Things look increasingly dodgy for us now...Must get something off regional on thursday !!!

Mona is a legend at summerville"!! And we'll leave it at that....He was marking alan barry yesterday at center half and he didnt even get on the score sheet!!

[superhero]

Reckon ye could take somethng off Regional as they will be missing a few on Thursday

[see's it]

A injured alan barry was talking to him sat after he had dropped a concrete block on his toes he couldnt pull out as the boro were struggling to field a team nd there you go again monaghan writing about yourself.....my god no shame thats wrong LETS LEAVE IT AT THAT!!!

sack the health and safety officer quickly where were his steel toecaps?

[specialk]

[quote=summervilleman;944957]Corbally 3 - 2 Star

ronan sherlock with a hatrick last one def hand ball going past the keeper corbally also maybe should have had a peno, star's shane walters has got to be the fastest player in town scored again. dereck hannon from centre midfield scored from 30 yards. pat boland played centre half before going off injured and was very good up till then. star had 3 players over the age of 40 playing and corbally found them hard to beat.quote]

[Philbert]

Pat Boland, still being forced to togg out. Fair play to him.
Some serious work needed down at star for next season.

were you one of the players over 40 graham?:D

I think they should relegate the bottom 5 teams this year they are deplorable. Worst premier teams I've seen in years

I they beat Aisling last Thursday they would of had a full team out
Wheres the justice for poor Granville???

[Roadend]

Maybe Granville should have played for the entire season and not just the last third.

[Roadend]

Justice? For what exactly, that three signed players played and Granville being sore losers thought they'd pull them up on minute spelling errors. I suggest you check up the meaning of justice in the dictionary.

now you've done it and come up with the most stupid post on foot, sure why don't the top 4 just play out every year, step up from 1A is a big one and getting points off any team is difficult for a team new to the division,

you have to admit they are bad

[sanity]

you have to admit they are bad

agreed ,they maybe bad but other teams like aisling and regional did not set the league alight when they came up have built their teams where they are not a million miles from challenging for honours at the end of the year.teams that stay up will have a chance of building for next season.its up to them to push on.

we had 4 injured players from our last match and two had communions with thier kids. so if we beat ashling we would have been in the same boat

[halo16]

regardng the justice for poor granville ,as rafa benitez says the season is a long one.if you cant win enough games to stay up thats the teams own fault.tis a long season and its unfair to blame opposition teams when the fact is if your good enough you wont go down.

was at corbally and star on sunday.fair play to star,they were the better team for long periods and were unlucky in the end.young walters had a fine game for star as did pa barry.star could easily have not bothered turning up but in fairness they did and battled to the end.sherlock looked dangerous for corbally and scored a good hat trick.imo both teams could do with a good dose of training.both looked well unfit.alot of players huffing and puffing at the end.imo star will do well to hold on to walters and pa barry.

[Philbert]

Its not a matter of Star hanging onto players. Its the two lads that couldnt be bothered leaving. I'd be very surprised if either of them signed for another prem club

[abbeyvale]

What i meant was....... the star boys seen kerley nd played out of their skin hoping for a contract, they seen him as a way out of all their relegation troubles. It would be a true roy of the (star)rovers story, from what ive heard they did impress him so heres hoping

I can assure you, none of the Star players knew kerley was at the game, and tbh I dont think most of them know what he even looks like.

[abbeyvale]

[QUOTE=starman;945235]

were you one of the players over 40 graham?:D

Denis Ryan, Martin O'Brien, Pat Boland, were the 3 over 40's

[abbeyvale]

Is that because Star took 2pts from ye to stop ye from winning the league???

Unfortunatly 4 of our starting 11 v Aisling were out injured (as 3 of them were sbutitued versus Aisling) and therefore were not playing against Corbally.
Star also had 3 players missing due to family commitments, so thats 7 in total, hence the reason for the 3 over 40's players playing.

[abbeyvale]

[QUOTE=starman;945235]
Here we go.... fastest player in town nd you were lookin at him on a pitch that had you, hannon, pa boland, nd a couple of other over 40's c'mon now any young fella would look like the fastest player on the planet on that team


Ask the Aisling back four, how fast Shane is, and they'll tell you.
He is easily the quickest player in junior football for me.

Yes, he played with L37 U-21's earlier in the season, and has all the ability required, just a bit on the small side, but you'd get over that.
He has pace to burn and really is the quickest player Ive seen in a long time.

First half's in bateman... and then down to LIT for the second... Fairest way

[widow]

a disgrace. Pike win thursday if we're beaten on sunday morning the league is over. Bearing in mind the munster match is on the saturday. If we win sunday Pike can still win the league the following Tuesday by beating the boro.
