Dunphys isn't fit to lace Tommys boots
I've seen them both play LOI
Tommy excelled, Dunphy was excrement
all tommy is,is fit.thats what made him stand out in junior a very high level of fitness his football is very limited
So just to clarify once and for all for when all the Limerick lads come on for a good laugh...Quote:

allab? Whats your view on this, you'll probably go with DD as hes your team mate but try and be honest with your answer.
been honest its hard to compare players that play diff positions, dunphy would be a better winger/full back than tommy where tommy would be a better goal scorer than dunphy so u cant really compare the the 2 of them.Quote:

thats a bad point wit dunphy but tommy cant pass the ball,Quote:

i think tommy played in a better limerick team than dunphy.
also i think DD did not fully apply himself
i thought it was a very interesting discussion anyway.Quote:

He must be able to pass it some bit to get as far as he did!Quote:

But as see's it just said maybe Dunphy would do better now that he is older. He might have been a bit young when he first went up.
plus the standard of players there now are betterQuote:

In fairness and in hindsight I was ridiculously harsh on David Dunphy :oQuote:

Players should look to play at the highest possible level and junior clubs should be happy for players to move up a level. If they do not establish themselves with L37 then they will (I'm sure) be happy to play again with the junior club.
We need a pyramid structure in the city where the best players represent the city at senior level. This should be welcomed by the clubs and it reflects well on clubs when their players progress to senior level.
The L37 project deserves a fair crack - and putting club above city will hamper soccer in the city.
Taking the example of Kelliher and Barrett they have gone from junior to senior and shown their worth and now have the chance to show their stuff at the highest level in Ireland. That is a tribute to the players and to Fairview who helpedthem develop.
should be none of the clubs business if the player was asked if the players want to play senior football thats tough on the junior teamsQuote:

I think the word robbed is too strong. They are being given an opportunity to make the step up. Its not L37's fault that the leagues don't coincide.Quote:

Its the business of the two clubs and the player involved.Quote:

Ok - so for example Pike Rovers are going for the title and some of their players move to L37. You think its better that Pike win a junior title than L37 win promotion to the Premier Division. If you put junior above senior then we might as well all go home now.Quote:

i dont want a slagging match, if you think that is what i am doing i apologise, but every point can be viewed from a seperate angle, i am trying to highlight areas that need improvment..
(1) oportunity to step up.. agree, but who gets penalised?
(2) junior clubs screwing players.. I can speak from a clubs point of view, no player ever stopped, stalled or discouraged from bettering themselves by my club,(boro) but what about the club?? you speak about hush hush aproaches from senior football to clubs, okay, but i can tell you for a fact that Janesboro FC have not been approached or even whispered at about their current players....is this how it is supposed to be??
about players moving mid-season .. FAI made a hash of it.. both junior and senior football screwed at the moment .. why not go back to both seasons at the same time, either summer or winter..
I wouldnt call it "being robbed". The players that are asked have a choice. They either stay with the club they are at or they join L37. No one can force the players to join L37 if they dont want to.Quote:
