With everything as it is at this moment in time, what calibre of manager and players do we expect to attract to this club for next season? Seriously lads when are things going to change here? Season after season its behind the scenes drama's, f**k ups and complete incompetence.
I don't buy this whole football will never compete with rugby in this town type of thinking. If our club was run effectively the potenial is huge. What I find so frustrating is we all continue to put up the incompetence of those with the power to change it.
Friday half seven, it's like a live Coronation StreetQuote:

Following on from that if a group of people deliberately attacks another group of people because they follow the same football team as a third group of people that you don't like then it's quite fair to add the word cowardly to our 'mindless filth' label. This has nothing to do with Limerick FC though, the incident happened well away from the ground and there were no Limerick fans involved anyway.Quote:

Also unless people want me to lock this thread they'd do well to remember the attack the post not the poster mantra that this site operates under. There will be no more warnings.
The first Rovers game, which was what brought them all out on FridayQuote:

Just to clarify once and for all the thrust of part of my argument within this thread for the more dim-witted among you................
If the scum element of Shamrock Rovers support had been attacked outside the ground by the local heads I would shed no tears for them. I make no apologies for this
You know the circumstancesQuote:

3. Our club is a joke at the moment and is in a worse state than before Drew took over.
4. You're arguement is no stronger than mine regarding the rovers scum/steward hitting incidents. There're a lot of scumbags attending games REGULARLY at Hogan Park. I've witnessed stewards being abused on several occasions, by lads who have no interest in the actual game taking place. All I said was I'm not surprised that a steward finally lashed out, and it will happen again. These security guys are basically bouncers. If you abused a bouncer like that in a club he'd take you outside and kick seven shades of s**t out of you. I have no sympathy for anyone who dishes out abuse/smart arse comments, then can't understand it when they get a box in the face in return. Fair enough the steward deserved to get arrested, but someone probably deserved to get punched as well. You're talking about improving the league as a whole? Kicking the s**t out of Rovers fans will not do that. Removing/banning scumbags from going to games and getting in to grounds will. Because for every piece of filth who is at a game dishing out abuse, you're loseing 2/3 and families of supporters.
Jesus Christ man, read my posts before you criticise them.Quote:

I said, and all I said, was that any mindless violence is wrong, in my opinion.
You have seen me criticise something and just jumped all over it without even bothering to read it.
If you want to post idiotic comments here without even reading whats gone before, then expect me to give you this response.
(I did my best to attack only the post.)
I suppose your a "realer" fan then me, ya :rolleyes:Quote:

While we're all calling spades, spades I don't think your involved enough to comment on anything to do with the club at the mo tbh
The absolute cheek of you. Your seen up in Rathbane about as often as silverware yet you feel you can come on here playing the poor victimised real fan whos club is being ruined by the like of me??
Go away and cop on to yourself
I honestly feel sorry for you. Your posts so far are on a par with fchammer and jebus for being so childish and inaccurate it is beyond belief. We are tax dodging?:rolleyes:Quote:

The cops did a good job after but a window in our car was smashed in by a boulder. How it missed one of the lads is a miracle. I'm not blaming the genuine Limerick fans but surely you have to admit at this stage that rathbane has been a complete failure and its time to move on somewhere else?
That question is addressed to normal limerick fans not the WUMs already mentioned in this post.

It seems a little co-incidental that the only incidents that have occured have been those with Shamrock Rovers fans. This could be down to a number of factors, but how the management of the club can be held accountable for them is laughable in the extreme. Limerick clashes with Shamrock Rovers in the late 70's, early 80's were legendary for the pitch battles that took place in Garryowen and down Mulgrave Street and perhaps it is the war stories passed on by people who remember them that ignites a little spark in the moronic heads of these animals-mere mention of Shamrock Rovers equates to "riot" in the heads of these people.
Hogan Park in its current state does not help. It is a free and easy access point for such behaviour, and to be situated next to an estate like Southill and a pub like the Steering Wheel is simply asking for trouble. The club need to be out of there, or have it seriously re-developed and a full-time head of security appointed if it is to stay.
Stronger enforcement from the Gardai is also required, and examples made of these people in every available media outlet is also needed. None of us will ever really understand what goes on inside the heads of these animals. And I for one, don't want to know....:(
Was wondering where the hell you were all morning :pQuote:

The Rathbane thing has been done to death, it's all well and good suggesting a move but where to?
Also it's worth pointing out that that area is gradually improving,(believe it or not) it's a lot better now than it was say ten years ago and there's further improvement on the way
And don't feel sorry for me NY, it's genuinely Ok in my little bubble
Must have missed the longue. Is that a limerick thing?!Quote:

If the area is improving I'd like to see how. My first visit down there was in 1990 and back then there was a wee bar in the ground. Burnt down by the locals (quel surprise). That's not improvement.
A visit to rathbane shows how much of a joke the UEFA licensing is.
Only way out is to go to a green field site or else go back to the Market's Field.
Have to admire anyone who goes to rathbane though. No blame can be attached to any barstooler in limerick.

What are you on about here, 'cos you've lost me completely??? "Realer" - where'd you get that from??Quote:

Class A tit, nail on the head there NY Hoop :rolleyes:
just a point of view from an outsider, i am definately not a regular supporter of Limerick but i go to a handfull of games during the season and generally look out for the results of the team.
I was there on Friday night with my two nephews and after what went on it will be a long time before i return and even longer before my nephews see another limerick game, the scenes on friday night were frightening to say the least.
I also attended the Garryowen and Shannon game over the weekend, again big rivalry and a big crowd in attendance in a venue close to another notable estate and yet no trouble, one of the many reasons why soccer (of which i am a big fan of) will never eclipse rugby in limerick.
You can slag Munster for the bandwagon fans and the fair weather supporters they get, but the fact remains a Munster game in Thomond Park is alot more family friendly and they will continue to generate big interest and crowds as long as this remains.
It's been done to death yet we accept it along with all the other problems attached to the club and so it continues. Rathbane is not working, its as simple as that. An alternative could be arranged, even in co-operation with the council who I believe would be willing to work with the club. It won't happen however because this is Drew's party and the stuborn one will only do it his way.Quote:

We don't, and lets face it the way this club is being run, sponsorship, and therefore income, will illude us like we have lepresy. Lads the club is being run into the ground by a man with money and dedication, YES, but competence, NO. We're paying 12euro to watch a at best Limerick youth team being beaten by average teams, all staged in Hogan Park, a complete dump that alway has and continues to attract scumbags, to the clubs detriment. This incompetence has dogged the club for decades, the rest of "sporting limerick" has moved forward and we're still stuck fighting for scrap points in the graveyard of Irish football in a kip.
Enough is enough.
Fans takeover looks like the only way out. Or we could come back to rathbane in another decade and the same sh1t again.

My my hasn't this thread gotten out of hand since last night!! Anyway to answer your question lim til I die I was just passing on the information about a Rovers-Limerick pre-arranged meet up as was told to me on the night by one of the stewards whilst I was watching the fights go on, don't know if its true or not, but there you go.
And our old friend NY Hoop was in the Spotted Dog whilst we were having a drink there, it's a shame we missed out on having you bring your witty comments to our table Hoop, (remember when he changed Lim Til I Die to Lim Til He Dies)my how we could have laughed. Maybe I'm being nostalgic but I long for the days I was on your petty 5 year old list of people you ignore on this site because at least then I didn't have to tune in to your idiotic attempts at arguing
Care to explain your last sentence there? What have I said in this thread that is not true or that doesnt offer some constructive criticism?Quote:

Would you lose your respect for gael and SLK if I told you I consider them close mates. Because you know I could probably stop hanging around with them since I obviously don't fit in with your view of what a football fan should be. Maybe I could stop going to games?? We can get a screen put up in front of the Shed??
My only regret at leaving the club will be that I've been damned unworthy of you
I think your signature sums you up Lim till i Die.
Your posts are phenomenal.anyone who reads over this thread will see you are talking complete inane rubbish.
Fair play on going to that many games but that doesn't give you the devine right to talk through your arse.
This thread makes for interesting but depressing reading. Lim Till I Die's advocation of Violence on Whoever is sad. In Fact some of the best posts are from non Limerick Fans.What is it with Lims that we can see how F***ing sad
things are ? Face Reality boys
I have never experienced bad vibes at a football match in all my life like last Friday. This includes the Edinburgh Derby and Spurs v West Ham for example. I have never felt so depressed after a match or in this case, during a match before.
The Scum element was out in Numbers, although we have quite a few of them in our midst all year. They had no interest in the game and just wanted to wreak havoc. The Stewarding as normal was pathetic and Bottles, shoes etc were left on the pitch.
It kicked off big time afterwards and this included Firearms for Jesus Sake :confused: from reports on Live 95FM. I am Glad that I cannot make the last game of the season. I have no wish to return to this S***hole of a ground located in a S*** part of town.
To be Honest this was one of the last nails in the the Limerick FC Coffin. This Club HAS NO FUTURE imo if we do not get out of this kip. We will never get families coming to the games, nor good Players nor a Manager. I was slagged off earlier this season for outlining People's fears. Well They came through. Rathbane is Dead and Limerick FC could very well be if we dont move Now.

Suppose you probably think Munster fans are the best in the world too, that Len Dineen has a lot to answer for :rolleyes:
I'm a prat for pointing out what happened and that you have no future in rathbane? Listen son when your own fans can see you are talking through your rectum its time to go away.Quote:

Your defense seems to be to slag off all and sundry when you dont want to debate.
Great post johnd. Shame there arent more limerick fans like you.

I think tho if any fans could put up with Limericks local thugs its Rovers. 80 percent of them are hooligans and i think the locals in Limerick could of came out it worse off if it kicked of both set of supports.

I've no intention of going through it and deleting the bad parts, we'll just let it stand as a testement to internet stupidity.
As for my final word... Friday night reflected very badly on both Limerick FC and the city as a whole. The excrement responsible are unlkely to be seen in Rathbane until the next time that Rovers are in town. The damage is done though, the club's name has been dragged through the mud and the city will continue to turn it's back on us. A complete and utter shambles from start to finish. Then to have to wade through this rubbish as well...
