Thanks Bossman. Disappointed that its 3 team groups again. Losing the first game is near impossible to come back from. Happy with our group though. Were dates given for the fixtures?
Before 13/14th Nov
Before 3rd/4th Dec.
Before 7th/8th Jan.
Anybody know the Limerick team think it was picked last night.
Any truth in rumour that the Pike players declined to play for the limerick league thats why the squad is not picked yet was talking to a pike man and he told me the same.
Is the Oscar Traynor taken seriously in many leagues?? for a few years the top players in the Sligo/Leitirm couldnt be bothered with it
if thats the case get on with it.there are still enough players good enough to get on the team that would love to play oscar traynor and are being overlooked every year because thay are not playing with the so called bigger teams.Quote:

Surely a player has a right to refuse to play?Quote:

What better incentive could you want and you dont have to be a Pike or Fairview player either.
but sure lads last year they only had 11 players for a match in cork,every player should want to represent his league but is it being run right,going on last year it does not seem so.
I thought Aidan Ryan was back after the fiasco of last year dident he bring limerick to the final a couple of years ago only to be beaten on penalties.
if pike players didnt represent i think the team would be very very poor and wudnt have a chance
Surely the standard of football in Limerick is still good enough to field great side without Pike players?
spot on it is more than capable of puting out a good side without pike.not cuting pike or anything lads.if they dont want to play that should be it.Quote:

oscar traynor squad,
Keith Harnett, Conor Kavanagh, Alan Barry, Wayne Colbert (Pike Rvs), Pat McGarry, Darren O’Sullivan, Jonathon Grant (Fairview Rgs), Pat Boyle, Stephen Grant, John Boyle (Carew Park), Dan Goggin, Dean Lenihan (Aisling Annacotty), Conor Moloney, Rob Egan (Kilmallock), Ger Burke (Mungret Reg), Gary Higgins (Janesboro), John Ryan (Star Rvs), Ronan Sherlock (Corbally), Alan Wallace (Wembley Rvs), Dan O’Flynn (Charleville).
a few shocks in there and no players from balla or regional
who do you reckon the shocks are.Quote:

possibly darren o sullivan, injured most of the season,stephen grant, dean lenihan, dont know of conor moloney? and from gary higgins on, surely some of the pike lads turned it down because there should be more on it, pat mullins pa moloney gary neville etc.. what do you think?Quote:

lot of new players in that squad,no buckley,mullins,moloney,dunphy,cleary,no regional players,is,n neville injured though he might,n have been picked.anyone know anything about wallace and oflynn?
Fairly dissapointed that not one from my own club Regional have been picked?
Was there a reason for that?
Who are the goalkeepers in the squad?
What Regional or Balla players do you think should be on it.
tom daly, dave dunphy, robert brock,Quote:

Ya wallace signed for us because pallas pulled out,good player and is our top scorer at the moment,sound lad and should do well,and as maestro said its a possiable free weekend for the club so happy days
Overall I think its a very strong squad. There will always be a few here and there who should of got on to it but thats what personal opinions are for I suppose.Quote:

Id say they'l get out of the group at least.
Not sure but i think those Balla players were picked before and pulled out dont know the story with the Regional players but those 2 surprise defeats to the Boro cant have helped their cause.Quote:

i wouldnt fully agree with you there rory.was down in tralee watching limerick v kerry 2 seasons ago when aidan ryan last had the ot team and the above named player had a great game and played a big part in getting a draw against a quality kerry outfit when other so called better players went missing.a player who can play afew positions so im sure aidan ryan sees him as a useful squad player.cant see the lad starting but as i said will provide cover for at least 3 positions.being honest i didnt even know the guy was playing with either of the above.didnt see him around at all last season.played with AA the last game i saw him around town.Quote:

Pike tried to sign him but he opted for Charleville hes a good player.
Heard in Jackman Park last night 26 players got phone calls all but 6 said yes.
John Meskell with Aisling is better than both Corbett and Sherlock and can play in 3 positions. Centre half, left back and midfield. I would not be surprised if he is asked into the squad.
