ah here between Dugga and Holly they both talk a lot of tripe, when one comes on its like he is tagging the other to feed his ego trip. no wonder clubs give up home advantage with the way both of them talk rubbish.
what a year so far for Carew, they havent lost a game all season. keep it up and the league will be theirs, as you can all see its getting under the skin of some of Pikes supporters. sad really.
Well said mrmam
We deserve to be in the Premier just as much as any other team in the division hotdog. The lads from Pike on here take things very seriously, relax lads ye might win the the Lawson or something;) Best of luck to both Carew and Pike, I know who I'd rather win it anyway!
i see your point about jansboro last year..Quote:

no disrespect to hibs,but they will get relegated this year.
and you are right,that if it was someone challenging for the league,they would probably have not given up home advantage.
but that is hibs decision..
i also agree that carew would have beaten them out in shannon also.
it seems that anyone doing another team a favour is anti-pike.
fairview and possibly dines have a chance,albeit small,of winning the league also.
don't find anyone from these clubs complaining.
best of luck to carew...hope they benefited from the match.
and well done to regional yesterday
Well said
As you were told already no one and yes I mean no one takes any notice of what you have to say,surely you've the message got by now,Richie,Quote:

I agree fairkop but with Shannon being so small and 3 junior clubs out there you don't have a chance of getting the best 11 from the area. The amalgamation of newtown and park has seen hibs formed but I don't think it has worked out liked planned. They are now pushing for one team in Shannon but the other two clubs aren't so keen.even if it did happen I don't think they would challenge in premier in limk . They would finish mid table every year at best.its going to be the same ding dong every year of either hibs or Shannon town go up. The likes of Carew/pike/balla/Geraldine's and fairview will always have lads who will join their club if asked but who wants to travel to Shannon to train.
Hibs pitch wouldn't have been playable, thats a fact. Im sure they like any other team just want to get games played........ On the Park / Newtown joining together, this happened in 2009, Hibs were in Div 1b at the time, 3 seasons later and they are in the premier, I remember people on here saying it would never happen but it did, great achievement, but imo they will go down, Hibs are a 1A team at best and thats that. It isn't all about the junior teams at Hibs, there are teams from 16's down as far as under 5's so the whole club shouldn't be judged on the first team.
What catchment area have Geraldine's, Pike , Fairview, Balla got? Shannon have a much bigger pool of people to pick from than most of the premier league teams combined. Stop giving the poor mouth. There was a time when Park had b and c teams ripping apart their respective divisions with good teams and it wasn't that long ago they played in the latter stages of the fai. Course ye deserve to be in the top league cos ye got there on Meerut but don't give the poor mouth when you can't compete, we were in a similar position last yr.. No point giving out pointing fingers any more, no one listens and it becomes pathetic after a while, clubs have to take it as a positive that the top teams are so strong and strive to get to compete at that level. Carew and Geraldine's have done it.. With effort and genuine determination to get to that level anythings possible.
Booster take a chill pill and get back in your box. I'm not involved with any team just watch junior football when I can . My point was that if for instance you don't want to play for Summerville anymore you have plenty of options around town where as Shannon lads would have to travel to town or play in a lesser league ie the Clare league . So chill out
Is this directed at me?Quote:

The status quo of the pikes and views and ballas will be forever strong and it's up to the rest of us to try get to that level. And I don't believe for one minute that players are restricted to playin for teams from Shannon when being from there. We have had a couple of players come in from Shannon Olympic and New Market before. Shannon is 15 mins away from town on a good road.
Lesser league is it? What do you base this on?Quote:

You talk alot of sence on this forum so please don't come back saying Clare league is better. Ps I meant no insult in my comment but in fairness most leagues are at a lesser standard than limerick.they are in the top 2/3 leagues in Ireland
Fair enough but I thought it was a bit harsh on the Shannon lads suggesting they would have to go down into the first or second divisions in Clare ;). There are clubs in Clare that would compete in the Limerick Premier, none of them are in Shannon, that is the reality. There is great work being done at underage level at Hibs and for that they deserve respect but at adult level they are not up to it. I would add that the pick of the 3 teams in Shannon wouldn't win the Clare league as it is with football in Shannon today.Quote:

I can't comment on what players Shannon Olympic have as only saw them in Wesley Webb . I've seen both Shannon hibs and Shannon town this year while both have some good young lads coming through I tend to agree with you that neither would win Clare premier but both would hold their own in premier as there is a few week teams in Clare premier.
