This is going to kill the rumour mill.

It is also going to destroy the Pike Rovers dream.

It is also going to make the town of Kilmallock very happy.

Derek McCarthy has not left, or been released by Limerick 37.

He is still a happy member of the squad.

He is not going to go back playing with Pike Rovers.

When he retires from EL football, the next club he plays for will be Kilmallock.

How do I know this??

I had a half hour phone conversation with him yesterday.

Sorry rumour spreaders....and Pike Rovers fans!! :)

He's been helping out with training Kilmallock as far as I know (or at least was pre season) so that'd make sense.

is that why he told me in flannerys the weekend hes getting released and would be happy going back playing with pike again the few bob might help:D

Ya well he told me in Flannerys you're a spoofer

But then he told me he was moving to Pike

Then he told me he hates Pike

Then he told me about the massive Pike he caught out on Plassey Banks

Who knows??

Who gives a $hit deep-down??

Right on! Oh while I have you here Green Hoop will you get on to the Juniorball lot and get that kip of a ground done up? It's disgraceful the amount of work that needs doing, but I'm sure that the superclubs of the Juniorball league and their thousands of supporters can pull together on this one

The same way you were going to get Pike redone?I was on the committee for the first game above in pike when we were told Limerick didn't have there own corner flags or nets,I'm sure nothing has changed since then if you take your time to read through these forums..

And my original comment on Derek was ment as a joke,but it seems god missed you lot when he was handing that out.

That's why we're only paying a quid a week so we can save for these kind of things.

So far this season we have one corner flag, BOTH nets and a left boot

I was on the committee for the first game above in pike

Proof Pike will never make the step up...

Wasent that done last year? didnt we win with half our 21's in the team?Prefer a proper game with a Desmond league selection to be honest, less ego, whinging and begrudgery with those lads + their heads are not stuck up their holes.

It was indeed done last year, and if I remember correctly Limerick FC sent the Juniors running home to mama. One have thought one of the Pike board members would know this though :confused:

That was the oscar traynor side from last thursday night,minus one or two,I'd say they'd give a "Semi-Professional" side like yourselves a good run for your money or lack of..by rights you pro's should hockey use off the pitch,,and I'd hardly call the U-21's yours either,last time checked they were an accumulation of limerick club players no??namely half the wembley youth's mixed with 2-3 other clubs.

Players are as you well know my friend, are free to play with who they choose and i assume that all the under 21s that are signed to Limerick are there by their own choice. As are the six (6) ex limerick players (some of whom are very much not amateur) which exist in the Oscar trainor side. Tell you what, you arrange that match between our sorry, the Limerick under 21 side who of course are amateur and an amateur oscar trainor side, ie one that none of its players are being paid by their clubs. Now list your oscar trainor side. oh btw we'll bring the attendence as well :rolleyes:

Dear Children, this thread is about 2 more trite posts from being locked (possibly one after my own).

On an aside Dave Wall looked excellent for the hour or so of the Oscar Traynor game that I watched the other night, better than a lot of our current incumbents anyway...

One apiece. This whole discussion could go around in circles forever anyway. The MSL side are almost inevitably better than Douglas Hall (who are just one of their members). There was sod all between us and Douglas Hall based on those cup games so maybe the Munster SL are better than we are. And as we beat Dundalk they must be better than them too.

Limerick 37 would beat the LDL selection in a competitive match. I've no doubt about that. The best 11 players on the pitch would not all be in Limerick 37 shirts though.

Ah,theres not one player on that oscar traynor team being payed,travel expenses maybe but no one paid...

And I'm struggling to find many from that oscar traynor team that played with limerick not to mention the magic 6 you mentioned..and Sure you couldn't even manage to lure Hartnett to L37,gave you the 2 fingers during the summer and opted for a nice holiday with the Irish junior side in American instead..

here allow me to help you....

Jamie Enright, Jamie played under 21 football with Limerick this year. he was released to Regional his old club but somehow something attracted him to Pike :rolleyes:
Shane O'Donoghue, played several seasons with Limerick under noel o connor and later Mike Kerley
Ger Bourke, two seasons with the under 21s, made a few appearences with the senior team late last year.
Keith Hartnett, signed in the second year of Mike K, and scored a fair few goals. Was with Limerick for a second season but didnt fit into NOCs plans.
Alan Barry, one season with limerick under MK
Dave Wall, the shannon man has twice played with Limerick. Once as a young fella under NOC and later under Ski this year.

If you want to know anything else about football be sure to ask someone

Derek never got a chance in Galway. He fell out with the then manager Tony Mannion and he was confined to the bench thereafter.

I often met him around Galway and he was always a gentleman. He arrived here with a big reputation and a lot was expected from him but it just never happened. Galway United set him up in a job and a house along with a few other players. He had nothing to prove as he was brilliant for Limerick FC and scored a lot of goals before he moved to Galway. Mannion often played him out of position which didn't help matters.

and yet you still haven't looked up the definition of a junior club,I'd hardly call Enright a L37 player,a handful of appearances for the 21's, whilst still signed my regional..you notice too how most of the players you named above have left you and cba coming back?

And tbh I'm slightly more concerned for you lot...no ground,no money...what exactly have you got going for you?Beaten last week by a team that were 8/1 odds to win adn bottom or second bottom of the league,most junior clubs just wish you'd simply give up and stop humiliating the limerick name..its bad enough that you've had like 5 reincarnations in the last 7 years or something horrible like that

your ranting now mate and losing it big time. You asked for six players and i gave them too you. Then you B lined it in name calling etc. And as to your reincarnations, its four in 70 years...Limerick United, city, fc and now 37. Limerick AFC 1937 to late 70s was a org club and therefore cant be a reincarnation of anything.

Limericks starting eleven against Dundalk the other night (By no means the strongest eleven we've put out this season):

Ryan
White
Greig
Barrett
Purcell
Waters
Hayes
Molan
Grant
Tierney
McCarthy

SUBS: Cossgrove for Grant

Now how many of that Oscar Traynor side would get a game for that (weakened) Limerick team?

I would maybe take Hartnett, Wall or Bourke for Hayes

That is all.

Besides what would the Oscar Traynor team beating Limerick prove if it was ever to happen??

That the cream of the crop of however many 100s of clubs there are in town is possibly better on its day than one club??

Well Whoopee :rolleyes:

Can somebody inform the club of these excellent players whose talents are being wasted playing local football. They should really be given the opportunity to play at a higher level and be playing LOI Soccer next season.:rolleyes: Green Hoop, you seem as if you are very passionate about football, so why not give your Citys team a bit of support instead of knocking it down the whole time? :ball:

Possibly my favourite moment of last season was Carthy kicking him in the face. :)
