lets see here james harty could not train or make matches last year with hibs & bridge utd , gav hayes disappeard from hibs near end of season not the most reliable lads ? tino only keeping fit untill he goes back up to mERVUE ... sean burke will have new town manager on his back to sign for town.. were were the two new signings higgins & cole ?

Lev - Your midfield is fairly strong as it is, where will Robbie, Jamie Cullen and Maccy fit in?

Thankfully I don't have to pick the team!

Think harty just wasn't interested, good player if he gets fit and stays interested! Gavin a very good left full didn't know he disappeared the end of season, agree don't think Tino will sign because of college, Sean Burke only training quality player town wont want to lose him! 2 lads were training Thursday.

Limerick is down to start 17/18 august but refs are still on strike and doesn't look like they will be back

Looks like it will be a long pre-season so, with plenty of speculation on players for weeks to come.
Anyone know about the Wesley Webb ?
14/07/2014, 3:17 PM
don't panic

I would think that the refs strike will have an effect on the wesley webb

Well it will if Refs are being advised not to referee friendlies which I believe they are at the moment. The only alternative would be to get Clare league Refs.

I dont..its normally around the start of August..The week starting the 4th would be my guess but i honestly don't know

With the Clare teams involved surely the Clare refs would do it - unless they are tied up in Clare pre-season matches.

don't think they can use clare league ref's .. as shannon town based in limerick league all games / friendlies etc must be organised with Limerick league and limerick ref's have to be used :mad:

Very true! But sure everyone around Shannon knows the players who always turn up for games and those who go missing so after that it's up to the managers who they want to pick.

Isn't the majority of teams that are involved from the Clare League ? Olympic, Rineanna, Bridge, Newmarket - surely Clare refs could be used if that's the case ? Plus it's a pre-season tournament, I would have thought whomever you wanted to ref it could ref it ?

sure why not get Olympic to host it to get around that red tape. surely its of benefit to the clare teams to get this played as its would help with pre-season?

Not allowed .. both leagues have a rule in place whatever team league is based in playing friendly / tournament ref's have to be appointed from that league .. clare league refs wont do it as they would get reported to both leagues and get in trouble..

nothing like a bit of 'who owns it' to get in the way of running a pre-season tournament. maybe they should not bother with it at all.

Why do people not give suggestions for making it happen instead of just putting road blocks up......must be fun that

I could be wrong but I have a vague memory of it being held on bunratties pitch a good few years ago.....

Your dead right lev I was there that year Shannon town beat bunratty in final 1-0.think Shannon town were having work done on their pitch.

Lads ye are losing the plot. Its a shannon town tournament. Therefore the have to apply to their league to hold it. Therefore have to use limerick refs unless given the okay from ldmc

And what thanks did bunratty get for that. They struggled for a team a few years later and got thrown out and never invited again

Are you trying to say that because Bunratty helped with the tournament for one year, that there was some sort of responsibility for Shannon Town to ensure Bunratty could field a team ? And if they couldn't they should just allow Bunratty to play in the tournament every year anyway ? Regardless of them having a team or not. To be fair to all involved, if a team enters the competition, but then can't field a team, there has to be some sort of consequences ? Really don't understand the point of your last post Second ?

LDMC and the refs association are a joke at this stage, whatever about being on strike over the league but stopping teams from playing friendlies is ridiculous! If a clare team is playing a limerick team ina friendly which league refs have the rights to it just out of interest?

Whoevers at home has to organise the ref so alot of limerick teams will have to travel to play friendlies in other counties due to strike.

I have to agree. I dont see what your point is. What thanks do you expect them to get? I'm sure they were thanked at the time for giving over their pitch and all that. But that doesn't them give them carte blanche to be in the tournament when they can/can't field a team...it's an invitational competition as far as I know.

My point was every club struggles at some stage surely they could have respected them enough to ask them the following year would they be able to field a team..in my opinion the wesley webb should be between the shannon teams..6 teams 45 mins a half and run it off over a week..
