[limericklad]

anyone else think that this new L37 ''A'' team is downer on limk junior football????

seems to me they seem to want to take a lot of players away 4rm the junior seen....it can only bring the quailty of junior soccer down in my eyes:mad:

agreed but imo lads will get tired of it after a while if there traveling alot and getting nothing for it as was said in a previous post.also as far as i know its only on until the end of august and the players who dont make the jump to senior will then go back to junior football

[leather]

Junior players and clubs need more info on how this A team situation will work, players returning,etc... maybe if our senior club explained to the junior clubs the rules involved it might alieviate some if not all of their concerns...

Well put !

[limericklad]

i think some of the players who have signed ''A'' forms are very big losses too junior clubs,as most of them would have had a big part too play in junior football...i think a lot of junior sides will suffer if L37 dont explain too our junior clubs how this is goin to work out,,if L37 want to grow and produce better players well a lot of it is down to junior clubs home grown talent and there has too be more co-ordination between our senior and junior sides 4 limerick as a city to get to the next level........

they'd still be getting nothing if they went to the senior team and traveling further afield,alot of the players that signed will wake up and smell the coffee soon enough,they'll be back with their clubs first week in september,if not sooner

[Begrudger]

I'd think playing for limerick would be alot better than playing for an average premier team like ye're boro, only the ones who dont make it tend to smell the coffee your talking about or maybe your sour about one of ye'res going to the a team??

The L37 team needs all the support they can get and if we want to start competing with cork dublin and mickymouse towns that have teams in the eircom prem junior clubs need to pull together and try to get some input
some of the lads up in pike boro balla and view and a few more scattered around town would be an asset to them, but they cant keep raiding clubs behind their backs

BrassBalls ,oscar,take it to PM if you want to continue your tiff,the thread is for football talk not personal stuff.

[backodanet]

It should be the goal of every junior player to play for limerick and beyond and the A league looks like a great way to help players adapt to LOI or see if they're up to it - correct me if i'm wrong but limerick are the only first division club with an A Team so the standard is probably high

Have to agree totally with this comment...Aim of a player for example of 16-18 years is to get on a junior team,then try make there mark in a premier team and if any good try get into the top 3-4 teams in the premier and then try get onto the limerick team and so on !! Thats the way it should be if u ask me..And like brass balls said ,its not like players are getting paid to play junior where as with limerick at least you get some few bob for your efforts!?

well if some reports on this site are to be believed afew of the junior clubs in limerick do pay money to players and more than limerick for that matter.people always saying that certain pike and boro players are getting paid.what truth in it i dont know but plenty of talk does be doing the rounds on the matter anyway.

Well the clubs in question are well able to fund these players if they are paying them as they all have there respected clubhouses with bars..But if you ask any player who you think is getting paid they will tell you they are not getting any money!!

ya from the begrudgers,the clubs with nothing i suppose,i wouldn't believe half the crap you hear in this town,it boils down to jealousy basically

You only get paid with Limerick37 if you make the match day squad(80 euro for a player signed on "development forums" if they make the squad,no idea what the pay is for Important 1st team regulars) . Simple as. They've not got the funds to keep a payroll of 30+ players as they have ATM.


Have any of ye any cop on??? seriously who gives ye the right to knock junior teams when they are the future of limerick its not as if we can go out nd buy a player when we need one. Right now we're taking players coached by clubs all their lives nd useing them without a fee paid to junior clubs they have a right to be ****ed we take their best players. Half of ye never kicked a ball in ye're life you'd know that by looking at ye ye're a joke, i'm sick to death of this slaggin it embarrasing if we had our own ground nd pushing for promotion with a great squad we could throw a few slags but we havent. As for the junior lads slaggin limerick it is what it is limerick ye're home town club

Just thought I'd add this to the post, A post from "Brassballs" in the L37 forums(transfer thread), And say that its one of the first decent comment I've seen emerge from a mostly L37 poster on here. Fair play,at least some of you know the score and are willing to stick your head out.

if a fella is travelling a bit of a distance and the club are willing to pay his expenses i dont class that as a player getting paid as such, it just means he is not too out of pocket

[starbar]

it happens move on

[oscar]

saw next seasons fixtures last night,Boro have Corbally away first,followed by Fairview and Balla at home,think Pike are away to Regional first match

excellent result for kilmallock as a matter of interest what kind of side had pike out taking nothing away from kilmallock you would expect the league champs to be putting a newly promoted team away with the quality at connie's diposal

Has Christy Coll taken over Corbally??I'm assuming whoever does will be making it priority to entice back some ex-Corbally players.Is there any rumours of this happening or has happened?
