I don't agree with ye on this Pike thing though lads....I know the View are very strong, but Pike always always run them close, and at the Pike Field, home advantage, a fairly decent side, playing with nothing to lose, I give them a very good chance.Their biggest weak area is Fitzy in goals....he could cost them dearly, but they have a solid defence, are ok in the middle and they have a good striker in this Nabs guy they got from Newmarket Celtic....2-1 to Pike....
I have to agree. A poisoned dwarf.
i thought jaws was supposed to be a good manager tactically just has no people skills, i mean look at his record 1 defeat in over 30 games for the boro last year before he was shafted,also too the oscar traynor team to the final the year before looks ok to me
Joesoap, you could be right but I don't think Kev Fitz is the problem, the lack of goals from Pike is the problem. They score against the weaker teams but when they play the bigger sides like Fairview, Balla and Boro they never knock in the goals. Good defence and Sniffer seems to be the only target man of any quality they have. Nabs the few times I have seen him looks ok but other tell me he is good. Jury still out. What happened to Danis Bokans, was he deported?
Inexile- Jaws Ryan is the furthest thing from a Manager in the city. He has ruined every club he has gone to. The success (if one could call it that) of the boro last year had nothing to do with that man because he had no input. The players ran that team last year. He took the Oscar Traynor panel to the final two years ago true but with that team he should have won it. He could not make a decision tactically and in the final he put on Paul O'Donnell on as a winger when the Limerick side was under pressure and wanted to take him off 5 minutes later and put on Tommy Barrett, Tommy refused to go on under those circumstances. Another classic was his decision to play a flat back 4 but he wanted one of the Centre halves to sweep. He has a mouth and a neck like a jockies bol.x
No, Danus is back...been on the bench for most games this season. He went back to Latvia to get married or something like that, but he could play on sunday. Sniffer, Alan Finnucane, Connie and Daryl Eade give them a decent attacking platform, and I just have a sneaky hunch that they'll nick it.
fitzy is only part of the problem,the is times he looks like a worldbeater then there are times that he goes down in installments, also dont agree with you about sniffer whitestripe sniffer is a quality player but not a centre forward he doesnt hurt teams enough with either goals or assists, great to hold up a ball but doesnt bring other player into it enough and i would imagine any centre half worth his salt would relish having to mark him,saying that i heard he gave robbie dalton a hard time for a while on sunday before he was finally snuffed out
This is very true....he nearly relegated Pike years ago, put Vereker Clements out of football, couldn't even get Shelbourne to win a match, and of course,all the trouble he caused at the Boro.....he is a tosspot!!Quote:

Limerick F.C. could do a lot worse than hang onto him as he is a quality coach.
Mike Ryan was not shafted by the Boro, he forced some of the players out as he as undermined & then when things were about to fall apart he walked.
I was amazed to see him get the Oscar Traynot job again, I would love to know on what merits that decision was made.
The guy nabs with Pike didn't get a kick against the boro, hoolahan marked him out of it
dont know the guy at all blackstripe and obviously appearences from the outside can be deceivin, stories vary too, one side says that o conor,dalton,lynch and fitzy were continually undermining the manager but you seem to know more than i do
Inexile you seem to be a bit of a Jaws fan & are well versed on the Boro !!!
What's your connection ??? Have you been doing favours for Mike Ryan ???
Favours like allowing him on your shoulders to gain a better view of a game with a large attendance........... you are also pro Pike which makes you as appealing as a potted caktus in a monkeys pyjamas
no connection at all blackstripe i play a bit in 1b and have an interest in the premier division especially the big four, wouldnt say im well versed in the boro jusr quoting what i have heard around the town, have never met jaws or spoken to him either just giving my opinion from appearences etc
1b you sound like someone from 5b in the regional hospital.
The big 4 ...............that's a joke there's only one club in Limerick & that's Fairview Rgs....... the rest are muppets as there trophy cabinets prove
what like pikes munster junior 2 years ago or ballas treble last year?
If you wanna got back through the relams of time I'm sure the Boro won a couple of tuohy Cups 15 years ago.
I knew you were Pike you muppet they are crap, 1 mfa cup in about 10 years get a grip & what treble did Balla win ???
They won the league by default when the boro fell apart & as for the big 4 as you call them ask any of their managers & they will confirm that these clubs only recognise the League, FAI & MFA as the trophies worth winning.
The view have won too many trophies to bother with poxy local cups......
The best thing about Pike is that little cutie behind the bar in the club house!!!
Very sweet!!! :eek:
Any got her name & number hahahaa!!!
league by default your the muppett i think, they went the whole season unbeaten cant ask for much more than that
I have to agree with you blackstripe, Fairview have set a benchmark not because they have the best players in town but because they are organised. Pike and Boro are getting there despite the poisoned dwaft's attempts to bring the club to its knees. Balla need a club but have made a lot of ground, the rest might as well take up Golf.
You're forgetting the Patsy Collopy?
There are only a few cups worth playing for, the rest are a waste of time. Simply because there is no incentive to winning them.
Its just like the Oscar Traynor panel, who really wants to play. Sit on a **** bus for hours, eat a few stale sandwiches, wear some spray on kit and ankle socks, back on the bus and a few free pints in some cheap motel. You would get better treatment if you went for a day trip to Mountjoy.
Limerick football is being smothered by those narrow minded men in their cheap suits and this is why local cups are not worth playing for.
Euthanasia - always an option
ye under Christy Earls, lets see if they can repeat it in the next 10 years........the Boro drew 1-1 with them in that excuse for a pitch in Bateman & would have defo beaten them in the Boro club, forget it pal cause everyone else has it was what people call a BLIP................bit like yourself I would imagine

Pike wont bounce back cause they have no spirit.
You see Pike are a team of Nomads with their team made up of players from Tipperary, Clare & every other club in town, Pike are not a club like Balla, View & the Boro.
I will have any amount of money on the View to win.
Glad to see Portmarnock & Carrick Utd knocked out of the FAI last week
What do you have in mind??Quote:

Joe soap I will have €100 on the View to beat Pike.
Leave my winnings behind the bar in the Pike club on Sunday in an envelope marked black stripe ..thank you.
Inexile Pike are not a club as they have no schoolboy or youth teams & have very few players in their side that actaully played schoolboy or youth with the club whereas the rest are clubs with the same players every year & most of em came through the schoolboy ranks with their respective clubs.
oh right i see what you mean but then again most clubs have fellas that didnt play school boy with them i would imagine, davy wall,robbie kelleher,tommy barrett,brian buckley,eoin lynch,john fitzgerald with fairview, brian lawlor,alan o keeffe,jj hartigan,shane madden,mark houlihan, and balla have a few like skinner,brian doherty,alan johnson,frankie lee has had his fair share of clubs too
although blackstripe i wouldnt mind gettin in on that bet with you id have a ton on fairview too
I think what Black stripe iis getting at is that Boro Fairview and Balla have all good underage teams and good set up for Kids wheras Pike havent had Schoolboys in seven or eight years..Although i think they started Back with under 10s this year....No team in the prmier league is going to have all player that came true the schoolboys it just doesent happen
yeah well thats true,and i have to say pa mullally is the biggest poachin b*stard in the town
that's my point thank you.
Junior clubs should all have schoolboy teams it's the future.
Nice to see ULAA going well in 1a they are a good club with the best of facilities & with the right manager would be a force for the future
Ya Corbally too have good Scoolboys and set up as do wembley fair play to them ...I dont think that you should be allowed Junior Teams unless there is a schoolboy set up
You can add Dave Maloney, Robbie Dalton, , Kevin Timmons, Barry Dorgan, to that Boro list as far as I know.
€100 thats a good bet to take on but before that is made can anyone confirm the last bet of €50 on the Fairview/Balla game was paid or is this all talk.
As for the fact that some Boro players undermined Jaws while he was at the Boro, all I can say to that is fair play to them, they have my respect. I suppose they found it pretty easy considering his ability and considerable knowledge of the game. Snigger snigger.
On another note - I think its a disgrace that x league of Ireland players cannot play in the Junior league without having to sit out a lengthy redundancy period. What the logic behind that ruling.
The Ldmc are a shower of old whining plonkers on a power trip its as simple as that.
whitestripe i am still waiting for whistler to cough up the dough and i fear that i might never see it
On the subject of Junior Council can anyone tell me why junior games are played at dawn on a sunday morning ??? why ??? why not Saturday afternoon so players can have a pint after the game rather that no drink Saturdays & drink sundays & miss work Monday!!!
Who enjoys geting up at about 8:30 on a sunday morning ??? no sense to it
Agree totally Blackstrip.****ing joke it is.
i suppose the reason for it is that people work on saturdays whereas most people are off on sundays
