He should really have 4 or 5 goals this season alright i mean he has started a whole 2 games.Quote:

Not an ounce of it, I'm going to have a ****ing ball this year. :cool:Quote:

Can't see where you're getting the bitterness to be honest.
In fairness to LTID he is probably right about Corks strikeforce.
There new striker has played only 10 games since the 2nd half of 2010 and his LOI scoring record isnt exactly great.
Davin O'Neill fair enough will more then likely score a few but i wouldn't want Vinny Sullivan now never mind in the prem.
I don't disagree, but that has nothing to do with the fact that Foley is going on 36 and has scored 3 goals in the past two seasons.
and Vinny Sullivan is taking Gregs place this year as my pet hate
From PFAI twitter :
Dominic foley flying in tomorrow to complete transfer and train with his new team mates at Limerick. #greatadditiontotheleague
Not sure why the trade union things a 35 year old taking a job from a younger player is a "great addition to the league" but there you go

What did Foley do to Bohs on twitter a few saying Bohs fans wont forget what he did to them?
The scumbag unfollowed them!!Quote:

but what are you basing this on? Why do you think a 35 year old who has shown that his skills are reapidly deteriorating will put away so many goals?Quote:

2004? 2005?

This is correct.Quote:

Which in LoI land makes him EVIL :bulgy:
On his prowess or otherwise we are so far ahead of the rest of the division it's scary.
BUT -
We're gonna face a lot of 4-6-0 type formations, his guile might come in handy late on in all the tight games.
He wont have came up against quite as many shin cleaving, limited, clowns in Belgium either tbf.
Personally I'm just delighted another experienced footballer has bought into the Limerick project.
Credit once again to our oligarch owners.
Lads, the Belgian league is shockingly poor. Most of the clubs are bankrupt or barely surviving. The decision making behind the scenes make the LOI look like the Bundesliga, we're talking about a league who allowed one club field only Africans to be able to get them visas to sell them on (Beveren) and having been to a number of matches there in the last few years and dealing with a couple of clubs, it's not what it used to be. Players go unpaid for sustained periods, club owners are not the nicest and player development is non-existent. A top LOI player would be a superstar in Belgium. Alot of Russian clubs stick players there to give them playing time and to see how they progress. If they don't play 90minutes of every match, they usually drop down the club pecking order very quickly. Purely in relation to Foley, he was a good player. He could make a very good coach as well as bag a few goals. However this grab a "name" from Limerick is not looking good.
In fairness, it wasn't great from him. I vaguely remember people saying hed been tapped up by Gent and he then started pushing Bohs for the money which they didn't have at that time.
If it was Bonus money for Europe then they might have expected him to wait a little bit - I'm not sure but he was legally entitled to leave
I'm sure he'll be an attribute, be great with the younger players and will chip in with a few goals, but expecting him to score lots of goals in naive. (Thats not to say that its entirely impossible that he proves to be a fantastic signing)
Any update on the CSKA pleyers. I'm guessing their not coming?
Limerick Fc are delighted to announce the unveiling of their new Irish international striker will take place at 4.30pm today in Aisling Annacotty.
SEems like its official
I'd say at this stage it's not happening. We don't need them anyway. The squad is strong enough barr a left full.Quote:

Foley'd be a great signing for Limerick. Whatever about the Belgian league's standard, he's playing against Mervue and Wexford FFS (no offence to either, but he'll be well able for their defences I'm sure)

Ive seen the Belgian league quite a lot and its is miles ahead of the LOI 1st division.
No he wouldn't. I don't think that even needs any more refutation.Quote:

The 3 (that's three) Belgian clubs in the Europa League won their groups.
The club in the Champions League finished bottom of their group but drew three games.
Look, we get it, you've travelled with work or whatever, bully for you. Maybe the standard in Belgium has gone down. But the implication that the two leagues are somehow comparable looks really, really, contrary to be honest.
He's from Charleville FFS. We don't have fellas on Copacabana beach picking up players.Quote:

LTID, spin it as you want, believe what you want. I was right about the CSKA boys, Limerick heads bounced like French nobles on the guillotine floor and you'd better grab hold of your club sooner rather than later. The LOI needs a strong Limerick club, not a car crash waiting to happen.
PS, are you going to tell me James McLean wouldn't be a superstar in Belgium? I think you can step back now :-)

Foley had agreed to hold off on bonus until he was tapped up by Gent and used it to get himself a free transfer. P Stu, care to prove how Bohs were screwing him over ? Dont we have rules about unsubstanciated rumours on here ?Quote:

He wasn't tapped up as he had less than 6 months left on Bohs deal.
Used the fact he was owed money to make that Belgian deal happen quicker.
Can't see what he did wrong
Any link to the FAI's publication of St. Pats' €3 million budget you mentioned?Quote:
