alan is useless anyway,very overrated player
whats with Athlone fleecing all of Limericks Junior soccer players, if they didnt cut it at Limerick then their not good enough for LOI in my opinion.
agreed,mike kerley good manager and from limerick is whats bringing all them up there
Most riduclous post I have ever seen,he robbed his junior cap so and all his medals,haQuote:

It's a strange one really because Athlone are well out of the race for promotion and are out of all the cups so there is nothing really to play for up there.Quote:

39 goals in 36 games last season!! over-rated?? If you mean that you haven't a clue about football.Obviously you never played against or had to mark him.Quote:

Anyone that thinks Alan Barry is not the best striker in town is mad. FOr years he has been the best nearly 50 goals last season IMO top 3 strikers of all time in LimeRick you can't argue with that facts.
Defo time to test the people on this site for narcotic's use..Quote:

Anything one hears about St.Michaels is pure remour and speculation. Officially they do not contribute to this Forum and openly advise its committee and players to refrain from any comment.Quote:

With the exception of Tommy Barrett I would think all those players would still train in Limerick. Last season Longford had a majority squad of Dublin players and they trained in Dublin and only travelled to Longford for matches. Wouldn't be the first time either.
that list surely kicks into touch mike kerleys recent assertion of developing soccer in athlone.Quote:

How many times have you seen Conor Kavanagh play pal?Quote:

john connery of st.michaels is almost certainly joining pike next season.
Of course it matters that there's local lads playing with Limerick, that's an apalling observation.

And please dont use the you wont get support with no locals excuse cos we dont get it with em either.
And abbeyfeale only 2 would be good enough for the squad only one good enough to start.
I don't think it's about the supporters, it's about good young players who might aspire to play for Limerick seeing a squad of Dubs or Nordies or whatever and thinking they haven't a chance. It's too short term to say we'll take the best and brightest and not giveca local a shot. If/when the money runs out and/or you can't attract the big players, what will you be left with?
you are 100% right treaty a limerick team with no locals what a joke..I agree that some of the locals dont want to play but having none at all and thats the way its heading is not the answer..
But Limerick played with majority of local players for a good few years and it was getting the club no where. All we where listening to was that most the players signed wouldn't get near most premier teams in Limerick. The best players weren't interested in signing for Limerick so why hang around and wait for them to. The club is getting in a lot of young Limerick lads for the U19 and A team and anyone good enough will make the step up. Brosnan is now getting a few games and Sheedy is on the bench even though he hasn't got a run yet. The opportunities are there if you are good enough. Limerick are also trying to put in u17 and Minor teams but are being denied and have an Academy setup for the younger kids again. This is hopefully where the players will come through and want to play for Limerick.Quote:

Thats 9 players around the first team alone. David Donnan and Lavin are also said to be near making the step up from the A team too.
Getting Premier football back for the return to the Markets Field is what is most important now.
That's a fair point jofspring, and I agree totally. The main point of my argument is that development of local players is as important as making a fist of it with the new stadium. The club seems to be putting measures in place for this, but BWA's point to me is madness. Success is important, but not if you alienate local fans by neglecting local players.
Rumours out in kilmallock, that Pa Byrnes is the new Carew Park manager.????
Their not rumours their true,isint that right Tom,what happened Albert,that was shortest managerial post of all time.
shane tracey captained for arsenal youths for a few games and hes back at limerick and hes not that special is he?? All these young fellas with big reps when their young fellas and they get nowhere.Quote:
