Cals are a good side. Very big, bigger than most Premier sides even. They are not the best footballing side around, and they're prone to soft goals, but on their day, capable of upsetting anyone.Quote:

Bad weekend for the 1B clubs lads. Pity really, hoped we might cause an upset or two. Very hard luck to Cals for going down to Boro again by the odd goal.

Caherdavin 2-1 Park
Boro B 3-2 Coonagh

1 good man gone from park(dermot) 1 good 1 in ( dukesy), he is a top quality signing but he wont save parks season unless the whole team get their s**t together
Rumour has been flying round for weeks that Davy Wall was taking over as player manager. Did he even sign for them at all?Quote:

Ah ya a good man alright. Bottom of 1B out of the munster. Failure to get promotion last year. Masterminded one of the worst defeats I've ever been part of.Quote:

try reading my post next time axeman, i said good man, not good manager,, hes a sound auld bloke and i wish him luck with whatever he does.
and it doesnt say much about your footballing skills if you took part in one of the worst defeats he ever masterminded.
[quote=quasi;1025739]im not here to argue with you axeman just give my two centsQuote:

[QUOTE=quasi;1025739]quasi, sound man dermot must have thought a lot about axe mans footballing skills as he picked him as part of his starting 11 :DQuote:

A lot of talk about Dermot Finnan here lads. I have met him a few times and he's a sound bloke, and not forgetting the most successful manager this town's ever seen. I'm sure he'll be in demand and back in management very soon.
As for Quasi's comments about Park being too good for this division, I'd take in a few games before I'd make that call mate.There are several teams every bit as good, and so far better than Park. Yes the new players will add to their strength, but 1B is no handy league. And while I'd not rule them out this early, it'll take a massive effort for them to go up.
Reminder for anybody who's interested,
Limerick U20's season kicks off this evening 8pm at Hogan Park v Cork City :ball:

Thats not to say the other players don't think Highly of Dermot Finnan.
We all know he is the best manager in the history of junior football and we all respect what he has done. No doubt what he achieved will never be achieved again.Quote:

He is sound bloke I got on well enough with him but I felt his heart wasn't in it. If I'm not mistaken he had applied for other jobs,which he has a right to do, but when it gets back to the players that when the S^^T hits the proverbial fan.
Oh and on the girls thing I think you need to think back and remember how many of those girls represented your club during those great years that Fairview enjoyed.
not knocking his achivements with fairview unbeliveable what he achieved it also helps when you have a great bunch of players and also unfortunatly that was in the past and people tend to forget and concentrate on the present time .. :( what has he done after he left fairview !! respect also goes both ways he must be respected and he must respect players .. yes it does seem park are a bit of a soap opera at the moment .. but i saw a lot of there games last season and they struggled big time and missed out on promotion from 1b.. correct me if i am wrong but manager must take some of the blame ..Quote:

seriously i never wanted to get involved at management level have great respect for anybody who is involved at management level but i still believe they have a big say in how a team performs & underperforms and give them credit when they achieve success but also let them know if things are going wrong :ball:
I agree with that. At the end of the day though, they are just blokes trying to do a job not many people want. So credit where it's due. Hopefully Spudd will let us know who takes over. Training tonight will tell a story.Quote:
