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:

Mine too. Why is there no 'hugging emoticon' on this site? It would make everything better I feel. :)Quote:

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:

We were in the spotted dog from half 6 and there was no trouble. Ask the barman there.
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:

The only people I've any respect for off here are JohnD and Gael353, and they're nearly always either doing something around the ground, or in Johns case he's about the only non prat when he's in the shed, apart from SLK until he left it. And where did I say that the "club is being ruined by the like of you". Never said that, unless you consider yourself a scumbag?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 were supposed to have the new jersey available and being worn at the Derry match along with sponsorship. 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.
