Derek Foran confirmed as gone from Dundalk, talk of him being Shams bound
Karl Moore and ex Monaghan Man Darragh Hanaphy signed for Bohs per Twitter
Good to see Moore staying at one of the big clubs as I always thought that he had great potential. He needs now to become more consistent however.
Ah the Big clubs...
I heard in work this morning that Casso is going/gone to Drogs. Sigh. :(
Though this is the same guy that told me he was staying with us last week. So we shall see.
He's signedQuote:

I suppose the couple of thousand football fans will be treated like second class citizens and not allowed access to the bars in the stadium??
Wrong thread?Quote:

Still a bit of thong and cheek about how rugby crowds versus football crowds have been treated in the same stadium before. For those of us who enjoy a few beers beofre a game its a relevant enough question.
Still wrong thread?Quote:

It will be interesting to see if this distinction is made down in Limerick.
It definitely will.Quote:

I would think alcohol will be available but like at other soccer events you will have to drink away from the pitch (not that anybody did in our last game of the season in Jackman).
The first year Thomond Park was re-opened alcohol was actually band from the seated area for Rugby matches and could only be drank at the bars in the stand. There was war over it though and it was changed.
I wouldn't open the bars to certain away fans we all know who they are
Probably Valium as well.Quote:

Mid-season clear-out at the Oval?
Players haven't been paid in eight weeks.
Anyone know where Kerrea Gilbert is off to? Hopefully Shams re-consider not offering him a contract.
May have been serving it up to half an hour before kick off but not thereafter in stand I was in. Think there is a 30 minute cut off before kick off.Quote:

In Finn Park, the cans keep on flowing.
They were serving at half time in the West Upper (thankfully)Quote:

Would take that rumour with a shovel of salt. The amount of times I heard that he would never play with us regardless of wages lead me to believe that he never would.
I would be delighted with the signing if he did come to us.
Maybe to Pat's fans, I got served all the way up until end of game.Quote:

Nothing surprises me in football but that rumour if true would be nearly as bad as myself or Ash saying something good about the other crowd :DQuote:

If Pat O'Sullivan appoints Phil Brown or Peter Taylor or some high-profile name, do you honestly think he'll be happy just to survive in the Premier?Quote:

I'd bite off your hand for a mid table finish here and now. I detect an almost sullen undertone from a minority of posters here (not necessarily in this thread) that most Limerick fans aren't predicting widespread glory and success for next year.
In fairness, I'd imagine a high profile name is to attract a few extra bums on seats in Thomond too. If someone like Phil Brown can come in, and bring in a few players with big time experience in England then that'll surely attract an extra 500 through the turnstiles.
I don't know about Limerick fans, but if there was that sort of interest around Harps at the minute, I'd be delighted.
