Limerick Premier Division 2008/09

[halo16]

theres a lot of boro players unhappy with daithi since he took over a few more will be leaving with o neill

doesnt surprise me.i think the boro will regret parting company with soh.i cant see daithi holding it together myself personally for the season.it wudnt surprise me to see afew more move on either

[Abbey Road]

for me the most loyal players in town would have to be colm enright and albert slattery,and in fairness most of the balla stalwarts e.g colla,daly,dunphy and spud.

How long is Colm playing with Pike?????

The pressure is always on managers of the so called top teams when their respective teams don't begin the season well.Alan Barry,Alan Carroll,Nicky Carroll and Ado FitzSimmons would be big losses to any team.The team that won the league 2 years ago seems to be decimated now so it's understandable that Daithi will have things tough at the moment.

[the hoops]

philip collopy.as long as i remember him playing he always played with balla,over the last 10 years anyway.dont ever remember seeing him line out for carew or hill celtic?correct me if im wrong but i always thought he was a staunch balla man

played a year with hillceltic with robert earls

why is ado+nicky carroll injured?

[Abbey Road]

Balla seem to have a good start to the season.Have they signed any new players??

[Abbey Road]

why is ado+nicky carroll injured?

Not sure to be honest,haven't seen there names on the paper so i'm assuming they are.

[allab]

why is ado+nicky carroll injured?

As far as i know nicky is gone to oz wit alan

[KilmallockYouth]

dis is my rough draft of players that have stayed with their clubs - feel free to correct me if im wrong.....
Balla - spud, daly, quinn, fitzgerald
regional - mullins, o donoghue, o connell, fahy, sheehan
aisling - cusack, hurley, cummins, mescall
pike - ???
fairview - hannon,grant,purcell
boro - ???
wembley - mulcahy, o callaghan
carew pk - slattery, carey, stewart,
kilmallock - heffernan
granville - power, j benn, s benn, judge,cregan,doran
dromore - burke, frawley
corbally - o dea, o connell, mckinley


Kilmallock:4 heffernans(Tommy,John,Ja nd Mark),Eddie Barret,Mike Collins,5 youth players, and most of the subs!!
Other players maybe 2 or 3 from small parishes near the town!!

[Monster]

How long is Colm playing with Pike?????

The best part of 10 years,Dennis O sullivan signed him when he was involved with Clarence Collins and Tony Morris.

[Abbey Road]

Didn't realise he was there that long.Excellent player and servant to Pike and a genuine nice guy!

The usual crap from people not in the know. Christy O'Neill went back to the dines because of changes in his personal circumstances. I spoke to the player and he explained that he loved playing with the boro but that he would be unable to put the effort in that he thought would be required and that it would be unfair on the other players if he couldn'y give the same. Wish him well,a good bloke and hopefully he will enjoys his football back with the dines..A.Fitz is injured and hopefully will be back playing soon.N.Carroll informed the manager that he is off to Aus in a few weeks, A.Carroll went to Aus 2 weeks ago. Club Cant fault the teams and staff's efforts so far and with a little bit of luck results will improve.

[leather]

agree

[leather]

Did he not play for the 'boro' for a couple of seasons aswell??
played maybe 3 or 4 seasons with boro.. fantastic player

[leather]

D.Glasheen,T.Clarke,S.Clarke,D.fitz,P.o'Donoghue,C .Lynch
have alll come through the ranks with the boro.
First 3 boys left for 2 yers to play youth football with wembly, played all of their other ball with boro. D.Fitz played some schoolboy with pike but is now in his 11 season in a row with club. C.Lynch bar 2 seasons at junior level , has played with club sine he was 8.. wont gve his present age..!!!!

The boro used to have a fanhtastic underage and youth set up, a lot of good players in recent times have come through!

whats the story with yer underage and youth set up these days leather?, with the top facilities and club set up down there i dont think there'd be many clubs around to match ye

[Football Alien]

in fairness to corbally they have played the top 4 teams


seen corbally against aisling last thurs. not a bad side but findin it hard to score goals. it'll be interestin to see how they get on thurs against carew!, wasnt too impressed with aisling against em but then they had a fantastic result against boro!!

restarted last season with u7 & u/8's. hope to push on this season
after being out of schoolboy football fot a few years you have to start at the bottom and work up.
youths restarted last season also and have started well this season (4 wins out of 4) credit due to all involved in both the s'boys and youths...

dont get me wrong lads but ye have mentioned 3 or 4 players from each club
when they probably have 17 or 18 signed.clubs call it expenses but i know its payment.expenses from one side of town to the other ha ha what a joke for people to even think its expenses.

[Bonovox]

I'd say games are doubtful to go ahead again tonite and possibly Thursday with all the rainfall. Forecast is bad again Tomorrow with a slight improvement on Thursday. I see its FAI games on Sunday.

Its bit of a non starter of a post though as some teams listed above haven't/didn't have a schoolboy setup for a long time.

[Jock MIB]

Just a bit of advice Rob you can multi quote on here so you could have said all those in one post and saved some time. :)

Sound. I'm new to this

[faces]

Have to agree with soccer has gone a funny old way with players moving clubs.
It now means you have two leagues in the premier.
Balla,pike,fairview,aisling,regional and boro in league 1
wembley,kilmallock,dromore,corbally.carew and granville in league 2.

[Rob67]

Not sure there is much that can be done about that tho. Maybe play each team once then split the league in two. Top 6 and bottom 6 like they used do in Scotland a few years ago. That could give every team something to play. Then if you play the other 5 teams in your group twice you play 21 games a season. That's probably not even a runner but it could stop teams rolling over towards the end of the season.

[Rob67]

You're perfectly allowed.We'l agree to disagree.Im a lover not a fighter.

Fair enough

Are you serious there are gulfs in class in every league thats the way it is! You want to play mini-leagues within leagues...get a grip!

Exactly.Its junior soccer and the whole point in playing premier is to play against the best teams in the league.1 game against the top and then its twice against the so called smaller teams.Playing against all the big teams should up your game regardless of whether there's anything to play for or not.

Are you saying that the above 4 names played with Pike ONLY at Junior level?
If so, you are wrong bud........
Phelan played with Fairview
McGarry played a few junior games with the Dines (when he was still a minor)

It should ya. But it doesn't. Every year towards the end of the season there are lads on here saying this team or that team rolled over. I said it was probsbly A non runner.
