Congrats too all the limk lads on getting a run.

Theres about 5 lads overlooked from Mayo are without a doubt good enough to be included in this squad.

Always the same lack of opportunity for lads west of the shannon!?

I would imagine that it is very difficult to pick an international team at this level. There is a large amount of players of the same standard in this grade, ie. not good enough to make it in the LOI. I reckon that you could pick 3 or 4 teams of the same standard. The huge turnover in new caps awarded would indicate this also.

you could make plenty of teams of the same standard, just because there awarded a cap doesn't necessarily mean there good enough to receive one, there are a lot of caps been awarded to players from leagues to appease there LEAGUE officials who want recognition for there league, look at the team the other night, that must be the worst performance i've seen in years from any irish team, hope most of them enjoyed the night because they'll never get another cap, there is a certain level of player needed to compete at that level and quiet frankly there was only about 3 players who looked any way comfortable.we will see how hard it is to pick a squad in the next few months when SMITH announces the squad for the euro's you could name about 12/14 of those players already.friendlies like wednesday are window dressing for the associations to look like there given an oppertunity to players.harse but true im afraid.

i seriously can't see how there is no carrick players in the squad, junior cup champions and i seen them playing last year, they are a serious team with a lot of players good enough!

Anyone who has seen Carrick's centre back Anthony O Donnell is amazed as to how he is not in the squad

[pimpong]

Chalke is finshed he was very good years ago but not up to international standerd any more..thier needs to be changes with that squad

[hooper74]

you only had to look at chalky for 90 minutes.....we unfortunately have to see him every week....he is awful,however gerry smith and himself are best mates so he will be playing as long as he likes,how do you think alan barry got capped,that is the biggest sin,he was a sub for saints and in an irish panel....laughable

Alan barry deserved his cap he has been the best striker in limerick for years and scores bag full of goals so how can it be a sin...i agree with the rest

[hooper74]

he hasnt scored goals in tipp.....he was a sub for saints

[On The Ball]

he hasnt scored goals in tipp.....he was a sub for saints
But he's banged in goals in Limerick.Top quality striker i think and probably one of the more deserved members from limerick.

Should have been capped long ago!!

You might see yourself wearing one soon as surely the high profile captain of the Junior team has a few nightmares since Sunday from trying to catch you!

[halo16]

Still a very talented footballer lads!!!!

there are alot of lads around town who are/were talented footballers abbeyvale.you only have to look at your own gerldines minor team.one of the most talented ever yet how many went on to be really good juniors?i reckon around 5.a talented player but as i said previously a lazy player who aint worth nothing to you when the goin gets tough.just goes missing.thats my opinion anyway

if alan barry is the best striker in limerick then the rest may give up football cause they must be useless. alan is an ok player gives his all but he just isnt international standard, simple as that.

I have to agree with this lad.I've seen this lad playing an have to say he has bags of talent.From what i've seen of him he never makes any mistakes an he can score a few goals.The last i heard he was suspossed to be signing for waterford.
