ya your dead right. mullins biggest fan is himself and anyone that watches him regularly will tell you that he is one of the reasons that pike have only 1 fai to their name over the last few years. put it this way, if chalky and breeno were at the heart of the pike defence they would genuinly be ' all conquering '. breeno is a far better centre back. on chalky, i have only seen 2, maybe 3 strikers get the better of him in any game in the tsdl over the past 15 years. tells its own story really

well lads i just heard that muiris walsh described our game against redmonstown sunday as the possible shock of the fai this weekend, from what i have heard about them they are a decent side so just wondering what ye think, would it really be that much of a shock considering they knocked ou bt harps in the last round. BT harps beat us 3-1 in the league this year so just wondering how people see this tie.

stevie didnt start but came on as sub

Mullins is 24 or 25 and has played 1 FAI final and won that,he would have played in another 1 only for circumstances beyond he's control,he did go for trials with irish team but he was played full back where he does not play,if you are bringing a youngster for trials play him in his position where he plays,that's why he was chosen in the first place,and it is politics and everyone in the country knows that,i remember pike battering st michaels back 4 in fai a couple of years where 3 of the internationals were playin.it's all about opinions and fellas are not getting a chance to show what they are capable of,is walsh going to be there forever,and i see a post there that he scores 20 odd goals a season,he is their pen taker.there will never be 4 players from any team in limerick that will be capped together,even the great fairview team who were winning fai's hand over foot didn't get that recognition,they were lucky to get 1 cap and he was a dub,couple of other fellas got maybe one cap but that was it.

They are in the 4th tier of tsdl so of course it would be a shock to beat one of the top sides in north tipp. Its def possible though, they have won 3/3 in league and of course beat bt harps...but at the end of the day, it would still be a shock if they bet ye as i said they are in division3 and ye are premier.

I second what quertyabu says too, this is a tsdl thread, seems to be infected with limerick lads from time to time, tough enough to read anyway at the best of times.

Cahir v borris a big game in division 1 this weekend, if cahir get the win there would be a small gap opened, both sides had narrow wins the weekend, i imagine both will drop points throughout the season. It could be a case of whoever will drop the least will take the silverware.
Galbally and moyglass the other 2 contenders for the league i reckon.

peake villa v bansha a big one too, both sides need the win. Draw would be no good for bansha and villa will have to go for the win.

Fairview had at least three capped in one match.
just a few facts.
barry flynn(who you refer to as a dub) won at least 12 caps while playing with fairview(as well as three,count' em, FAI's)).
others to win caps(plural) that come to mind were:
eoin lynch
jason purcell
kevin mccarthy
john whyte
brian buckley
ross cosgrove
jim sheahan
joe hannon..
all of these won more then one cap...there are at least ten more but their names escape me at this moment in time
apologies to TDSL people...just wanted to put the record staright

you dont have to apoligise for facts ,,some good names there,barry flynn a class act as most others there are.

nonsense arguement Mullins is top class so are breeno and chalkie. No need to squable over it . In my opinion pike are stronger than saints this year and would fancy them to go further in national and provincial competions, but ya never know. Both teams have 6 or 7 top class players and its just matter of which gets the most out of the rest of their panel performance wise over the course of a season. This is really a pointless arguement and can only really be discussed properly on seasons end, but just to close it my saints/pike best 11 would be
1 neville 2 mullins 3 higgins 4 breen 5 walsh 6 hartnett 7 carr 8 tierney 9 richie ryan 10 alan barry 11 eoin hanrahan

Good team I hate to playing that team too often , I think your about right especially the defence but to be fair you could argue for other players from both sides

good team would surely win the fai :) i would have fahey of saints in midfield tho, also id have pa maloney in up front as he is pike's best striker imo, and colbert would be certain starter in my team.

My argument was that Mullins should now partner Breen for Ireland not play instead of him, and all the points made i have taken on board and some good arguments but Wombats suggestion that Mullins biggest fan is himself and that he's a soft centre.....have you ever seen the guy play? He is top top drawer as im sure both Saints fans and Limerick fans will confirm and the funniest part is he is probably the most down to earth, modest chap you could ever meet so the "fan of himself" bit is beyond ludicrous

wel just have to agree to disagree but i take your point. anyway lads i think ye should give the whole saints and limerick thing a rest for a while, plenty of other clubs in tipp to talk about. by the way i didnt say the chap had a soft centre so recheck what you read. i just argued that pikes defence has been less than watertight over the past few years and it is their attacking players that should feel most hard done by re international recognition

Ya have to agree I've meet pa Mullins and he is a good bloke I was never disputing that I was just giving a football opinion nothing more or less
