There isnt a team in town has 20 players signed and i would be suprised if there is a club in town that pay players when barry flynn signed for us the town said he was getting paid when kevin mccarthy signed for the boro people said he was getting paid but the fact was flynn signed for us because we were the best in town.
most clubs do pay players in some way or another,now dont give me the pike dont pay players when you know they do,boro were always doing it and still do,the view did it,
Regional will be just fine , few players have moved on but we have quality coming in, just not singing it around town like some people. Gary nevilles decision to go to Pike will prove to be a bad one. Smackers is a far superior goalkeeper at present , can't see Gary getting many games but heh if his ambition is to sit on the bench then let him off. Sure himself and Franky can keep eachother company:)
everyone up in pike gets payed managers/players/bagman/kitman/grounds man and the bloke who opens the gate on the morning of a match and if you dont miss one nights training in a month you get a car thanks to lyons of limerick (this those not apply to the B team the car that is everthing else those)
Jimmy Bourke Dromore to Regional
never sub with Pike chief so i can assume you don't watch junior football, and Im not slagging them off just stating the point that they are swapping regular starting spots for the bench up at pike is all. Won everything bar the FAI with Pike so i moved back to Regional who I played all my underage with , hardly a crime! So Pike were beaten in the league last year home AND away by an average team were they? Semi Final of the MJC and last 16 of the FAI , further than Pike if i remember correctly:)
Young neville going to pike is a bit strange alright, he won't get in ahead of smackers as he's the best in town in my opinion. Might have been better off getting some experience with regional where he would have been first choice, but time will tell. Pike will win the league this year but I'd fancy Fairview to push them even closer for it this year.
Smackers is hardly the best keeper in town. He's got a horrible slice that needs curing badly, he's very weak at crosses and poor overall communication. It's been the pikies biggest let down in recent years. The lack of a reliable keeper. From the 4-5 games I've seen Neville play he seems the right fix for Pike.
It seems Connies got the 3 signings he really wanted, a keeper, Left full and Striker. Could be a big year for the Pikies.
i agree with you blinkx.i never saw much in the pike keeper.any game ive seen him he has been average at best.young neville could be a longterm answer to pikes goalkeeping issue.i think he will push for first team start.imo there are at least 3 keepers in town better than smackers.
Based on what exactly?
And Finucane signing with Fairview isn't much, looked very unconditioned when he made a cameo against Pike last week. Straining in all the wrong places..
Apparently Wembley had lost Shane Considine to Pike also...Should have just started a "So who haven't Pike signed" thread....
tony fahy regional to balla
Dara Droog is new Mungret Regional manager. Regional will be struggling Tony Fahy, Droog, Neville gone and rumours are a few more are on their way out too
Player Manager???:confused: If so disaster...not a fan of that at all. Theres enough work to be done if your a player in the premier and theres enough work for a manager/coach. 'TYPICAL' Mungret! Hopefully for mungrets sake he'll bring a few more players into the fold though...
Cant say i agree with trueviews comment that he's definitely not league of ireland standard, hes still a very good player, but in farness to the others mentioned, he wont stroll into that team by any means! 3 or 4 years is a while no.17 fan...
droog new mungret boss unreal but he would not have been a regular wth us this year fahy is a lost alrite
ive been told another one or two may be also leaving regional.will be interesting to see who goes.they have now lost fahy,droog,stewart,neville,russell and conway thru a longterm injury.testing times ahead for regional management getting in new players
