Ya heard something about McGettigans being turned down. We had no sponsor at all and while the club shouldn't give it away for nothing we badly needed a sponsor. Beggars can't be choosers and looked so unprofessional not having a sponsor.Quote:

3 lads training that I didn't get names for too.
Still doesnt look like much of a team.interesting to see what kind of a team lines out for the msc match on saturday?
Kieran Hanlon returning also apparently.Things not looking good.Quote:

I'm hearing Limerick are in trouble and going after 4 or 5 junior players red hanlon been one not a good sign at all
I wouldn't mind the club going after a couple of junior players but they would need to be the better ones. Not just lads brought in the bulk up the squad for the sake of it.Quote:

We had Hughes, Lynch, Tracey, Duggan, Costello , Rainsford and Mann in the squad last year and all are Limerick lads. Also Red O Hanlon and Barry Sheedy up to July who are also Limerick lads.Quote:

We need good Limerick lads if we are getting some in. No point in packing a team full of locals to get hammered every week. We have done that before and no one came out and supported the team.
It doesn't matter where the players are from, if they win games we'll get more supporters. Nothing else has anywhere close to that power when it comes to getting people in the gate.
That squad list above won't do that. It's shocking.
There is no-one in the junior leagues in Limerick good enough for what we need right now, it would be fine if they came in to a squad filled with premier quality players not coming into a squad already not good enough for this league.
The stuff about about Craig Curran is madness too one of the hardest working players I have ever seen at the club worked a lot harder than most of the Limerick lads we have had though the years.
I'd agree that the priority should be elsewhere in players. I think we could get some players who would do a job, like Clarke, Mullins, Waters etc. but they're not really the spine of the team you'd be looking for to carry you through a big season. It must be pretty disheartening for some more established players to see how unorganised it all is.Quote:

The only problem now is that the best players in the league are signed up.not many quality players left.as mentioned above.who would want to join a team like we have at the minute?
Team that started today, via Twitter: O'Donnell, Whitehead, O'Connor, Williams, Murphy, Turner, O'Conor, Duggan, Russell, Rainsford, Clarke
1-0 after half hour, Dean Clarke with the goal.
Edit: Tommy Holland (Only found this guy online? ), Clyde O'Donnell, Shane Costelloe, Conor Maguire and Val Feeny on the bench. 1-1 at HT.
3-1 now. Clarke with his second and Sean RussellQuote:

That squad is relegation fodder.
Couldn't really tell much else today
Would agree with you that the team that played today wont be strong enough for the season ahead.it does need major recruitment but a lot of the guys playing today were under 19's and wont be starting games for the seniors.paudie o connor was the lad playing centre half who was excellent today.
Two goals for Clarke. He show any promise going by that?
Hard to tell from todays game.all the goals were good but the oppossition? no disrespect to leeds.its when they come up against stronger loi teams then it will show.time will tell.at the moment the team is way short of being competitive in the league.if you ask me it needs 5 or 6 good players.
Who do you think will be starting for the seniors instead of these "19s" players?Quote:

Expect to see a lot more of them than you think id say
Dean Clarke
Every single one of the senior players we have signed so far played in that starting 11 today every one.
And calling up lads that have already been released and are now basically not wanted by the junior they went to for training isn't gonna help.
Can probably add our assistant manager to the list of outs too no sign of Fennelly so far this off season.
Red O'Hanlon played for Limerick yesterday and Pike today, what's that about?
Red Hanlon didn't play for Limerick yesterday.Quote:

fennelly wasnt much good anyway.a bit of a bluffer.the team needs players not allickadoos.
Kieran Hanlon is a registered Pike player,why wouldn't he play?Heard ok he's returning to Limerick.Some senior players are well ****ed off too with whats going on.Its a shambles at the moment and doesn't look like getting any better.Quote:
