The Connery story is old news now, has been posted three times already. The dogs in the Tipperary streets are barking about it. Some deal for a lad who never established a permanent place with St.Michaels but fair dues to him.Quote:

I know I would and I would encourage my mates to aswell but unfortunately everytime a crowd came to jackman past two seasons they havnt seen anything to encourage them to come back.. Do you agree??Quote:

I never said he was a bad player i said he was playing crap last year because he was playing crap last year which was frustrating because i know how good he is.
The 5 at the back happened once ever since Pat is in charge and he does play some nice football at times but nice football doesnt get you out of the 1st division. Id rather get out of the 1st then play nice football.
Id love to see locals in as much as anybody but if they are not good enough then what would the point be?
We do have that. 6 players where in the squad last night against Wexford and thats without Sheedy who was in the squad the last two games and Shane Tracey who is still out injured it seems and Gary Sheehan. There is also Calla who sadly will miss the rest of the season with an injury. Thats 9 locals signed for the first team alone. Not to mention the lads who are in the A and U19 teams.Quote:

Now its there isn't enough local players and the football is ****e even though we are getting results. Its hard to win when there is always and excuse from somewhere.
Promotion is all that matters. The type of football for now is not.
I agree though some of Scullys tactics have been terrible i.e the 5 at the back but it seems a crowd only come up for the big games against the top teams and then are surprised when we lose to the best teams in the league, with a rake of injuries I might add. We where comfortable against a lot of teams this season as well. The extra quality has been brought in now with Gamble so I expect us to pick up better results against the top teams when we have a full starting 11 and not having to chop and change most weeks.
Kuafc if the chairman/manager had backed Pa last year he'd be still there and if you're a player with the A team you would know that as well.he got no help whatsoever off him.
Well said,it's a typical Limerick thing, lots of followers (when things are going well) but less real supporters.Take the Munster rugby thing as an example - 12,000 at the semi's of the magners but a full 26k at the final. You are either a soccer supporter or not.Fellas would go to Engalnd and pay 1,000 euros to watch a premiership game and god knows that could be crap with very little"locals" in the squad and won't complain.At the Pike field it's 3 or 5 euro to watch Pike stuffing some team.Is that value for money?We'll see will the guys who said they would never support senior soccer since they left markets field turn up next season.If Limerick ever got to an FAI senior cup final I bet they'd all want to be part of it.Stop criticising the players who you don't even go to watch,local or not go and support your home town senior club.Quote:

I hope he proves me wrong next year because i do get on with pa but cant see it happening.. Will have a good squad of players though..Quote:

And what reasons do you think Pa won't be with Carew park for long,he did a very very good job with limited resources and no backing whatsoever,Pa will do well at Carew park,don't worry bout that.Quote:

Didn't realise pike paying players was such a touchy subject to some but at end of day it's their own business I would say other clubs wish they had that clout to get players it's going on along time now clubs in Limerick must be used to it I remember Michael grace about 20 yrs ago gettin a good deal as well and the johnny c thing has got a lot of us out in co tipp talking

You obviously haven't see Pa mullins playing,best centre half in the country by mile,that's why Limerick were trying to sign him.
....Pa is very very good.Quote:

And before you say it Limerick were trying to sign him to partyner Paddy Purcell who is a far better centre half.
Edit:Complete bull is a bit far but you are exaggerating a bit.
Take the blinkers off will you? If he was the best in the country he would have been playing for his country in the recent international which Ireland won.No doubting he is one of the better defenders in the country at junior level and has great potential to become a top top defender maybe at senior level.That's where good players are tested.Go and watch Paddy Purcell playing someday,by far the best defender in the LOI first division.I think Pa's height may be an obstacle if he was to go up a level.Quote:
