Conor is signed A team with us..He is still a very good player i dont know weather he will start but it makes good competition for places

Don't say I didn't tell you,

I know the Pike boys on this dont like AA but they put a plan through and nearly every club in town agreed with it so ye cant all point the finger at AA. Something has to be done about it, if everybody wants to see the same team winning the league and FAI year after year then thats fine but id rather see a bit of competition each season.

The premier league in limerick needs to get competitive again and in my opinion the new rule was just attempting to do that.no more no less

Well said.

As a different poster said it's a one club vendetta,fairview have more ex loi players than pike,but it's all about pike,a bit petty really

ya 7 o clock ,pike will be missing a few due to gaa commitments,

Lads, I dont know how many times 12th Man has asked everyone not to mention the paying of players as it has serious consequences for the website, we all have our opinions, but when it comes to the money issue, lets either keep it quiet or bring it to PM (for the sake of the website).

As for the rest I couldnt tell ya where their going heard regional are after 1 or 2 more.Plus whoever was asking about Purcell he was there for a few weeks and left he must of known what was coming.

Must be one of the favourites to go down now. Its a good setup up there and its a shame to see a Premeir team go this way.

Any club would struggle losing that amount of players not to mention Aisling losing there best ones. Im surprised Hurley left. After I saw him score and kiss the badge last season I thought he was a true Aisling die hard??? (He has told me enough times in the Icon anyway) :)
Id say he will struggle to get in with the Boro A’s even at right back. Good ability but headless.
Its a shame Aisling are in so much trouble with the very good set up they have out there now.
I actually thought they were going to kick on a bit this year and sign a few more with the new astro they have but obviosuly not. Purcell definately jumped ship at the right time.

Moving on to the league.

Handy one for Pike in the opener.

Thought Regional would be easy enough as well, but apparently they have signed a few players who played with them in recent years from the Desmond League.

I reckon pike will walk the league but Balla and Boro will be much closer challengers this year.

don't know about walking it....certainly favourites.
can't see what happened last year,with the league being contested by only two teams with 8 matches remaining.
no disrespect to the other clubs,but the winner will come from pike,boro,balla or fairview.
that's not to say that the other clubs won't have a big bearing on where the title goes.

yeah cant see the title going anywhere but them four clubs either and i think you can throw regional in there too. be interesting to see how pike and fairview get on with the new rules in place.

Don't believe everything you read,he was tired of the travelling for pittance,oh and by the way nasri is on his way as well,that'll be on the limerick post the weekend,

In fairness its only an hour and 20 minutes up the road and he was training in Limerick so he didn't even have to go up all the time. Something had to have convinced him to come back to Pike to get sick of a few trips up the country in the space of 2 months, if even that.

Athlone already said in pre-season they could not compete with what Limerick junior teams where offering players and it was only when the junior season ended they managed to sign a good few.

Just spoke to someone there and his idea of whoever comes second in the league should be awarded a trophy by other clubs..as the real amateur winners of the league..lol..

What a childish response,will ye get it into yere heads they are JUNIOR players who have been regraded by governing body,and ye have the cheek to come on here and say yere not pike bashing,I said it once and I'll say it again FAIRVIEW have more ex loi players than pike,haven't once heard ye bashing them,green eyed monster is surfacing again.

You don't know conors situation,do you,and by the way when Collins and dunne made the same comments about ye,ye were all up in arms over it,so give it a break people are sick and tired of listening to yere pike bashing.

I never said I know his situation just that the travelling isn't as far as your comment might make it sound and there must be more to it than just travelling. Also I don't care if Pike are or are not paying any of their players, whether it be Conor Kavanagh or anyone else, it makes no difference to me in the slightest. I also don't say that Pike have paid him just that it had to have been something decent to convince him back, that doesn't just have to be financial offerings. Collins and Dunne said directly we offered our players more "money" than they could but Moran just says they could not compete with Pikes offer, he does not say anything about money. An offer could be anything. If Moran wanted to say it was financial he could have come straight out and said Pike are giving him more money but he didn't.

I also don't think I ever comment on Pike or their dealings before this so this being "sick and tired of listening to yere Pike bashing" thing is total rubbish.

Never mentioned you directly,did I,what would you read into it yourself in all fairness,

I was quoted and it was in direct reply to my comment so I presumed it was directed at myself.

He was obviously angling at something alright but unless he mentioned money directly, no one can really say much about Padraig Morans comment. Would be a totally different situation as I say if he had straight up said Pike offered him more money than Athlone.

I'm calm as can be,you can be regraded every year,their fai rules and what can you do about it only take advantage of it,fairview and pike have,and jofspring I know what your saying but he could have worded it in a totally different way than he did,I'll bet he hasn't heard the last of this, and if I was Conor I would be looking for clarification of what he meant by it and then an apology in same newspaper,once he made the comment he should have clarified it,I just wonder why mike kerley didn't make this comment,after all he's the gaffer,would you not agree?

lads all this money talk is ridiculous , fair play to anyone who can get any few bob in the current climate , on the kavanagh situation , maybe he could not handle the pace at a higher level ? . Fair play to him for giving it a go either way.

By all accounts daydreamer he was one of athlones best players last couple of games..
