an honest observation ....
without doubt the most naturally talented goalscorer in junior football (probably in Ireland)
but ....
if Robbie Kelleher cant get himself motivated to get fit for premier league LOI with a pay cheque at irelands most historic club what makes anyone think he'll be bothered to do it playing junior.
If Paul O'Donnell still had the interest and fitness,he'd walk over Robbie,easily the most talented/gifted I've seen to leave limerick in a long time,along with Brian O'Callaghan I'd say.Saying L37 would take Robbie from those 3 isn't saying much,its not exactly like your Bohemians now is it...Quote:

ill agree with you on Paul O Donnell - after all he did play for liverpool which speaks for itself.Quote:

Reference my last line there,petty rivalries(sp?),its one of the reasons why L37 imo won't be as good as they were back in the golden years.Quote:

Has Mike Carey ever played LOI for Limerick.I have only seen him twice and to me he is the most accomplished player around.Great style and classs in a defender is a rare commodity
I meant fellas playing in town at the momentQuote:

No, A great player on his day,very good in the big games only he doesnt concentrate that well against the lesser teams,thats what lets him down!
If he had a good football brain he probably would have been capped a few times - his positional sense can be brutal but his pace can get him out of trouble at times.Quote:

Just noticed on the paper that Aisling actually have a league game this weekend.
Definitely one of the most cultured centre backs I've seen and I include LoI in that.Quote:

Decent player alright though
is this the same mike carey whose 2nd touch is always a lunge of a tackle?Quote:

Does anyone know anything re Leagues history, re past champions/runners up.
Re city soccer history , LFC well known as being formed in 1937, who is oldest junior club (Pike Rovers 1930's ), is anything known re when first ever club formed in City ?
Many thanks
ps May help if anyone just posts details of own clubs championships
Pike 1938, Fairview 1946, Balla 1955, I think shelbourne are the oldest club in limerickQuote:

Don't think that's really disputable tbh.
As for the cultured thing maybe it's because in LoI you're put under far more pressure to get rid then you are down in the stiffs
