good result for limerick.though heard there was more ldmc members on the bus then players ; when next game?and any news on the oscar trainer youths did they play the weekend?

Its a pity if some players arent taking it seriously,the ldmc and management seemed to have put alot of effort and time in this year, ah well it was still a great result. Dont think the youths are playing until a couple of weeks time, i bet the youths will take playing for the league more seriously then there junior countertparts..............Quote:

The council cannot be selective in the application of rules. However If any player who was selected was unable to attend because of a genuine reason then there is no problem but as in any squad, if players do not make the effort they will have to face the consequences of their actions. Not to mention the rest of the squad that they have let down. There were over 40 players who tried out for this squad the ones chosen should be honoured to represent their league.
By the way the commitment shown by the players and management this year is commendable and is really engendering a good spirit.
its a round robin and top 2 come of groups to
the knock out phase
did dermot phelan not have to go to the ldmc meeting tuesday night?Quote:

Time is needed to make up a story as to why they were not there, and who are the ldmc to question them? there not like the police with the man power or resources to investigate to see if the excuses provided are actually true, so it will be a waste of time with no suspensions handed out and the OT will continue to be viewed as a second rate competition which is not right
thanks pal!!!Quote:

What would you suggest we do!! Lets try to be a little constructive here. I dont think that anyone could say that the profile of the OT has not been elevated this season.
St. Michael’s: James Walsh, Paul Breen, Richie Ryan, Raymie O’Brien, Paul Tobin, Ray McMahon, Davy Ryan;
Clonmel Town: Richard Ryan, Raymie Condon, Dwayne Burns, Anthony Davis, Aaron Moroney, Paul Scully, Tony Scully;
Peake Villa: Derek Breen, Aaron Ryan, Ger O’Grady, Ted O’Connor, Jody O’Grady;
Clonmel Celtic: Paul Kennedy and Andrew Cosgrave,
Cahir Park: Richard Tobin, Keith Maguire;
Old Bridge: Paddy O’Donnell, Barry O’Neill
Of course it has been elevated from previous years but the same problem still remains, players wanting turning up and playingQuote:

Suspending players is an option, but if a player has a story/excuse whether it's true or not the ldmc will have no choice but to give the player the benefit of the doubt.
as for a solution, maybe personalised gear for each player selected, from training kit, tracksuit to a gear bag it would give a certain amount of prestige in being selected.
maybe other posters here have other ideas on how you would get players wanting to play for the OT team

As old keeper said the profile has been lifted but nothing has been done to get players excited about playing for youe league ! Until they solve that, i am not sure what they could do.
Maybe offer a prize like a holiday to the team/management if they win the OT??? somthing has to be done !
thats a good idea,the winners of the aul get a holiday but the ot team would need some serious sponsorship for that and i can't see that happeningQuote:

Hi All
Following Last nights delegate meeting some clubs feel that I am bringing discredit on the LDMC by posting on this site. I will not post again until this matter has been discussed by the committee and following that meeting if the committee agree with the accusation I will not be posting in any capacity.
If any of you feel that My posts on this site have been bringing the committee into disrepute I urge you to mail the secretary of the league on the other hand if you feel that my posts have not been bringing the league into disrepute you might mail as well
The league secretary can be contacted at secretary@ldmc.ie
So Bye for a week
The Oscar Traynor team are playing on saturday night, if the east cork/ west waterford are anything like their youths who limerick beat 9-1 on saturday then you would expect a limerick win.
LDL 6-1 WWECQuote:
