Paul Finnucane

[L37Ultra]

Im not sure if anyone else heard this last friday at the Monaghan game but there was a rumour going around that Finnucane was leaving Limerick37 FC due to work commitments. Can anyone on here involved in the club either confirm or deny this rumour? If true is it temporary or not? Thanks :ball:

[PinBallWizard]

Yes it's true. Paul's job apparently requires him to go back to college on friday nights and saturdays, so he's decided to pack it in. I believe he's going to play next friday night because we're going to be badly stuck, but thats it then.

Personally, I feel that he's become a tad disillusioned with all the crap and is glad to be getting out.

A great servant to Limerick football over the years, and with the right attitude could have played across the water. He is possibly the best reader of the game I've seen play for Limerick since Ray O'Halloran when Ray was a young fella.

Good luck paul. Thanks for all your outstanding efforts. I wish you well.:ball:

Thanks PBW. I agree with you about Paul. Great player and one of my favourites in recent years. Best of Luck with your studies and future, Paul. :ball:

Shame to see him go, was always my favourite player and has been our best performer in a lot of the seasons that I've been going. I never thought the cpataincy should have been taken off him when Purcell came back, but it's just a minor complaint. Either way the two of them formed the best centreback partnership in this division. He'll be getting my vore for clubman of the year award come the end of the season as a small means of paying him back for his years of loyal service to Limerick football

[KevB76]

I'd echo all the comments above, he's always been a firm favourite with me :ball:

[L37Ultra]

If this friday is really his last game for L37 is there any chance the SC can organise some sort of tribute for Finnucane. Lets say a banner saying Thanks, goodluck etc... He deserves it like. Always the one player who stood out as having the most passion for Limerick senior soccer.

you sure about that? check our goals conceeded.

on paper they should have been the best but i dont think that its happened over the course of this season.

move chucka in, molan at left back. give danagher a few games at centre half as well.

[L37Ultra]

I think this could be a blessing in disguse. We were going no where with playing Molan in Centre Midfield and hopefully Finnys early retirement will force Ski to play Molan at left back with Barrett, Colbert, Harrington, Hayes all available to play in Centre Midfield.

[declan hide]

where is colberts best position?

where did scully want to play him for instance?

HAYES are you joking?

[clownboy]

Striker? Thats where Scully Played him anyway in the games that he played

[L37Ultra]

Ya he played him striker for Rovers but for watching him the last few seasons my opinion is that his best position would be attacking centre midfield. He has played poorly every time he has played on the wings so...

[jebus]

you sure about that?

Yep, I don't judge a partnership on just over half a season

[declan hide]

Yep, I don't judge a partnership on just over half a season

what do you judge it on then? one match? :rolleyes:

[jebus]

what do you judge it on then? one match? :rolleyes:

Previous seasons including this one :rolleyes:

[declan hide]

Previous seasons including this one :rolleyes:

so you think they've been the best partnership this season so far?
you must have missed a few of the matches i watched, most recently the shels away game.:rolleyes:

[see's it]

dec do you work in the parkway?

[declan hide]

dec do you work in the parkway?

i do yeah

[jebus]

so you think they've been the best partnership this season so far?

Another genius remark, could you bother reading what I type next time? They haven't been the best this year, but they'd still be top 4, but they were the best in two of the last five seasons, explained enough or is it sock puppet time? :rolleyes:

[see's it]

would the best not be the 1s who concede the least???

[declan hide]

would the best not be the 1s who concede the least???

hmm sees it...dont make it so easy for mr high brow there will ya?

:rolleyes:

maybe if you made yourself clearer next time.

top 4? :rolleyes:

socket puppett time? dont wanna know what your behind closed door activities are boss. ;)

[jebus]

Lord God, now I know why I rarely post on the Limerick forum anymore, either the newer posters here are the greatest wind up merchants in the history of wind up merchants, or Limerick people generally are just that little bit slower than the rest of the human race. Anyway for Declan here's what I've said all along, and this is the way the discussion was going, and I'll space things apart for you so you follow this time,

:rolleyes:

Clear enough Declan? You know where I said I don't judge a partnership on this season alone, and then you said that I think they've been the best this year, and then I stated again that I judged them on what I've seen over the past number of seasons and not on this season alone again? I mean jesus christ....

Oh and one final point when I say,


They haven't been the best this year, but they'd still be top 4

and sees it says


would the best not be the 1s who concede the least???

and you agree with him by saying


hmm sees it...dont make it so easy for mr high brow there will ya?

and also




top 4? :rolleyes:

Then can you not see how hypocritical it is to say that we should judge them on goals conceded and then :rolleyes: at the thought that the Limerick partnership, who have conceded the 4th least amount of goals in the division this year are considered in the top 4 defences this season? Or was that just you boo-booing again?

[jebus]

Oh and congratulations for dragging a thread dedicated to Paul Finnucane into another mindless Limerick stamped squabble :rolleyes: I wonder how long I can reasonably leave it living in Dublin before I just start going to UCD games altogether and leave this sorry mess of a forum behind

congratulations to you.

[jebus]

congratulations to you.

Nothing about the top 4 thing no? Or me having to spend quite a few posts explaining the concept of judging a partnership over a number of seasons, when it was as clear as day in the first response I gave to you? Good stuff Declan

[Side Cutter]

If this friday is really his last game for L37 is there any chance the SC can organise some sort of tribute for Finnucane. Lets say a banner saying Thanks, goodluck etc... He deserves it like. Always the one player who stood out as having the most passion for Limerick senior soccer.

Why not get a banner saying P1SS OFF McGEE?

[the only 1]

is he giving up soccer or going back playing in tipperary

[joeSoap]

He's not from Tipperary, or has never played there as far as I know

[Monkfish]

Why not get a banner saying P1SS OFF McGEE?

Why not say it to his face?

[declan hide]

jebus and hide would be a great pairing in a broken lift!

Well done to all for turning a tribute to one of our better players into a childish pantomime. Idiots!!:mad::mad:

This from the guy who has practically single handedly ruined the Limerick forum with his multi-threads about McGee, good on you PBW you never let your standards slip do you :rolleyes:

As for Finny, well I've said my piece about him earlier on

[joeSoap]

This from the guy who has practically single handedly ruined the Limerick forum with his multi-threads about McGee, good on you PBW you never let your standards slip do you :rolleyes:In fairness, I wouldn't say he 'ruined' the forum. He was by far more constructive, if biased, in his arguments than most. And he is spot on about idiots ruining this thread. Thats for sure.

[see's it]

idiots?

[joeSoap]

Yes, idiots. People who lack common sense and objectivity. People who turn every topic on this forum into a Junior v senior debate, or people who blatantly go off topic, especially on a thread that was opened to acknowledge the good someone has done for the club.

[see's it]

finny signing with pike his getting more money aswell up there

[joeSoap]

More sh1t stirring from an idiot....

Now, see's it, that's what I'm talking about.

Arsehole!!

Can this thread be locked?

[cartman]

best of luck to paul in whatever he's doing in the future.. he has been a very good servant for limerick since he first started playing with them...

i have to say though, with the non stop flow of cr*p out of limerick fans on this site, he must be glad enough to have nothing to do with ye anymore

[see's it]

oh he can only play for limerick and thats it,is that the way joe and you call yourself a football fan

[gael353]

finny signing with pike his getting more money aswell up there


Oh sweet jesus, the goonies anyone? "you guys!" And are you implying that Pike are paying money to players? :eek:

[joeSoap]

oh he can only play for limerick and thats it,is that the way joe and you call yourself a football fan
Oh he can play for who he wants, and nobody will begrudge him. But stop talking boll ocks about him signing for Pike when its simply a pack of lies. Grow up.
