You'd have to wonder about the integrity of Junior football when you read these threads. Play suspended/ineligible players and if you get away with it well and good, if you dont its one of your rival clubs who 'ratted' you out and in that case its the 'ratting' thats worse than the cheating.
As for trying to find out about an opposition side, everyone does that. asking questions on here, personal messages, reading different league threads etc. Some of the better resourced clubs can send a scout across country to watch future opposition.
Lads its Junior football, its about getting your best available squad ready to play the oppositions best available squad on the same pitch/meadow/paddock/bog and you hope you get a fair deal from the officials. Some lads on here have delusions of grandeur about their clubs right to win.
Can we leave the bitching, bickering, name calling to when you're having a pint in the bar with yer mates. Are a few honest appraisals of the weekends games with impartial match reports to follow to much to ask? Or am I a hopeless romantic? Thats all from the Sligo Jury.
May the best four teams win at the weekend. Allez Les foot
Youve the wrong clonmel rory it was Celtic the boro played and they weren't that bad either.Quote:

Now can we move to to Sunday's games. Best of luck to all sides involved.
Abbey are you still running things below in star seems that your making statements like that, Or would it be that you are hoping that your Garrowen friends get an FAI Alan Barry & Pa Maloney Woin HanarahanQuote:

I've got to say that the rivalry in Limerick "junior" soccer is gone well beyond healthy.Some clubs are more bothered about what other clubs are doing instead of concentrating on the more important issues within their clubs namely discipline and schoolboy football.
Anyone involved in Junior soccer in Limerick should be proud and happy that there's 4 clubs in the quarter finals of the biggest club competition in Europe and should support the other clubs in an effort to make it an all Limerick final.
At this stage it would be great to see a Kilmallock v Regional final.I'm sure all Junior club members would be happy "neutrals" although you always have jealous begrudgers. Some of what's going on in and around these threads should not be associated with the good name of football and is not good for the local leagues or games with some of the local fixtures now laced with hatred for want of a better word.
lets have one big hugQuote:

Alan Barry isn't from Garryowen..............and if all Limerick teams helped each other out rather than trying to dig dirt, then the FAI would be brought back to Limerick a lot more than it has over the years.Quote:

Can't. there would surely be an objection to that!!
Kilmallock are a team that plays with no fear away from home and regardless of the opposition play there own game. Which is a good brand of attacking football with talented youth and experienced good players. So Fairview beware of complacency just ask the Boro lads.
For me I think St.Michaels,Regional and Fairview will progress this weekend.
Best of luck to all involved.
My Semi Final Line up is:Quote:

With an all Limerick final to be held in Jackman Park.
Nobody giving Clonmel much chance here!! I can't comment on Willow, but Town are such a hard team to beat, and have shown a lot of bottle so far, I'd fancy them, but who knows???
I'll guess - Clonmel Town
- Saint Michaels
- Fairview
- Regional
Take a bow blackwood, the above is a post from 14/08/2009....impressive 3 out of your 5 selections made itQuote:

So you could say theyre bit like Portsmouth in the FA Cup (minus the money worries)
I've heard that they won the AUL B league last year and their prize was a trip for team to Spain, apparently they thrashed the hotel and were docked 15 pts as punishmentQuote:

nobody will beat clonmel this year. willow will be first, then hopefully a limerick team in the semi and in the finalQuote:

iv seen clonmel play and there a decent side but iv also seen willow play many times , and i have to say willow r too strong for clonmel , willow to win the junior cup for me , they r very fit , they can mix it and they get goals from all over the parkQuote:

View, Pike, Shangen & willow for the semi-finals
you know nothing about Shangan yet you have them to beat Regional, oh the bitternessQuote:

best of luck to both tipp sides this weekend, heres my honest opinion ( its probably way off ). i expect pike to just have a bit too much for saints, it will be very tight though and could go all the way to penalties,certainly cant see more than one goal seperating the sides. i feel saints have an excellent and experienced backline but will probably rely on set pieces too much to score. clonmel n the other hand have a little more about them going forward, they are a battle hardened cup side now having been to the semis a couple of times in the last few years. i dont know much about willow but hear they are on a par with st peters who clonmel really should have beaten last year. il go with 2-0 for town. really fancy them to win it out
It wasn't that your were terrible that day is was because you weren't allowed to get out of first gear by a spirited Star team performance and a more clinical team would have taken advantage of that. So some people might think it will happen again this weekend and Willow will be more clinical. As they say people are entitled to opinions best of luck to all teams left.....Quote:
