There isnt a team in town has 20 players signed and i would be suprised if there is a club in town that pay players when barry flynn signed for us the town said he was getting paid when kevin mccarthy signed for the boro people said he was getting paid but the fact was flynn signed for us because we were the best in town.
most clubs do pay players in some way or another,now dont give me the pike dont pay players when you know they do,boro were always doing it and still do,the view did it,
Regional will be just fine , few players have moved on but we have quality coming in, just not singing it around town like some people. Gary nevilles decision to go to Pike will prove to be a bad one. Smackers is a far superior goalkeeper at present , can't see Gary getting many games but heh if his ambition is to sit on the bench then let him off. Sure himself and Franky can keep eachother company:)
everyone up in pike gets payed managers/players/bagman/kitman/grounds man and the bloke who opens the gate on the morning of a match and if you dont miss one nights training in a month you get a car thanks to lyons of limerick (this those not apply to the B team the car that is everthing else those)
Jimmy Bourke Dromore to Regional
never sub with Pike chief so i can assume you don't watch junior football, and Im not slagging them off just stating the point that they are swapping regular starting spots for the bench up at pike is all. Won everything bar the FAI with Pike so i moved back to Regional who I played all my underage with , hardly a crime! So Pike were beaten in the league last year home AND away by an average team were they? Semi Final of the MJC and last 16 of the FAI , further than Pike if i remember correctly:)
Young neville going to pike is a bit strange alright, he won't get in ahead of smackers as he's the best in town in my opinion. Might have been better off getting some experience with regional where he would have been first choice, but time will tell. Pike will win the league this year but I'd fancy Fairview to push them even closer for it this year.
Smackers is hardly the best keeper in town. He's got a horrible slice that needs curing badly, he's very weak at crosses and poor overall communication. It's been the pikies biggest let down in recent years. The lack of a reliable keeper. From the 4-5 games I've seen Neville play he seems the right fix for Pike.
It seems Connies got the 3 signings he really wanted, a keeper, Left full and Striker. Could be a big year for the Pikies.
