we didnt stay up by beating balla my dear boy.we had 4 points 6 weeks ago and ended up beating regional,carew,granville and balla and drawing with corbally and dromore thus giving us 18 points.maybe all these teams had there b and c teams playing had they.jealousy is a mighty thing as it makes people talk a lot of **** on here.thanks to the hard graft and not throwing in the towel by our lads is why we stayed up.thanks to all the genuine people that congratulated us on this site and my phone.

well done to kilmallock on stayin up, they got lucky that Balla were understrength and lost home advantage but they did what they had to and fair play to them!

sorry F.A, but ive seen alot of corbally games this year and id be pushed to name any player from that squad who'd make it into any other premier team? they have a good set up but to few people have interest including the players,theres alot of rebuilding needs to be done there.

your entitled to your opinion pal but i think jj, john bog, dave owens, clarke, fergal, barry and kevin hartnett and chucky are more then good enough to get on for most sides in town.

I reckon Mungret will put out a strong side when playing The Dines..its only fair to Shannon Town.

From what I heard they have both stepped down.............

They've lost alot of players who are now regulars with good premier teams.If they could entice a couple of them back they could do well.getting them back is the problem.Fergal o connell and mark hannon would get on alot of other prem teams too.

mark hannon is a fine player who did well to come back from a bad injury if im not mistaken?i think that him,david owens,john mc,jj and maguire up front have worked hard to keep that team in the premier the last 2 years.young hartnett has the makings of being a good player.i dont agree with you that fergal would get on alot of other teams.he is dog lazy and you wouldt see him for dust when the going gets tough.ive watched afew games of corbally this year and hes not kicked a ball in hardly any of them.all ive seen is chucky and owens giving there all and carrying around 6 wasters.maybe with a different team o connell might have a better attitude but for me you can be as handy as you want but if the heart and desire aint there you might as well forget it.regarding your post on ex players

all 7 except the 2 carrolls who i think are abroad are playing premier in town with other clubs.corbally would be a different team who would be well up the table if them 7 were with them.i cant see any of them going back though.they all seem to be doing well with there respective clubs.
i think corbally need massive changes to get up the table.wembley,AA and regional have consolidated themselves in premier comfortably over the last few seasons.of the other promtoted teams granville and corbally have struggled bigtime because i feel they cant keep players and cant attract good enough players.

that was my point too.Owens is good i suppose.Ive seen o connell destroy players,he is pretty windy though.if they cant get any of them players back they'll be struggling every season.theyve good facilities so you'd wonder why people wouldnt sign,theres a massive catchment in corbally.

Every club could have the same argument regarding ex players now playing Prem.........the problem is keeping your better players, and only a few clubs in town can do that.

Take Geraldines for instance, if they could have kept the players they lost over the last 10 seasons, added to that the great young players they have now, I have no doubts that they'd be fighting for the Premier Legaue title and maybe even the MJC & FAI.

Arrogance or just not caring and disrespecting the league because they had nothing to play for?

If you look at the team that played Id say Paul Quinn and the keeper are the only regulars that played against Kilmallock. Where were all the other players? Problem with Balla is they need the players that didnt turn up because they cant attract anyone else to the club.

in fairness would kilmallock have had their last match as easy if balla had a full strength side out?? obviously not and they should have been playin in balla as well, but they can only play under the circumstances and team put before them

over the season i reckon the worst 2 teams went down but in sayin that kilmallock and corbally werent that far ahead of them, i dont think wembley and carew were either. wembley were consistent over the season at gettin the required results while Carew, Corbally, and Kilmallock were only getting them sporadically! it was a long hard season and at least these teams live to fight another day and try and build on the season!

And the question is why have all these players left the club, their pulling players from the b and c teams who are'nt good enough,half the players in the A squad are'nt good enough,they've been in the relagation battle for the last few seasons so its only a matter of time before they go down, i mean it would be a ideal position for a well known manager to come in and shake things up bring in a few players and make a go of it

a massive catchment area with little interest in junior soccer i reckon.you could argue that caherdavin is the same but where are they?1B.also with all the people in shannon you would think they would have a top premier team.again they dont.you would think that a large catchment area would surely get you 15 players.i think it doesnt really matter going on the above examples

id agree fully with you on this one.

10-brian buckley.11-alan barry.12-derek o neill.13- leonard o grady.

id say every above player is still under 30.pity not more of them stuck with the dines and gave junior a shot.i can only think it was down to bad facilities and not great management to keep them together.

so have i.didnt the lad get a hatrick against carrick afew years back?i saw that game and he tore them apart.ive seen them at least 4 times in the last 2 years since that game tho and have just felt he hasnt done a stroke.a pity cause the talent is there.reminds me of young hanrahan up in pike when having a good game.very similar style.for me though he needs a fresh start with a new team if he is to realise the potential he has, cause if he stays where he is he will not change attitude wise and will still tend to go missing in games.

Davey Wall, John Collopy, Derek Hannon, Keith McNicholas, Ger Barron, Eddie Wallace, Pa McGarry, Pa Mullins, Yellow Lyons, Lou Quigley, Darren Walsh, Conor Croke, Mike Carey, Johnny Carey, Peter Clarke, Aled Harkin, Christy O'Neill, Brian Collopy, Mark Nunan, the list goes on and on, you could easily pick a squad of 16 top players from the above that would come close to winning an FAI & MJC.

And Im sure ive left out numerous other players .......................

You could say that about at least half a dozen teams if not more, the fact of the matter is if a players any bit ambitious he'll gravitate towards the teams that are there at the end of a season competing for honours. Simple as. Club loyalty these days is a fickle fickle thing...

too many decent players spread between the teams in shannon which does not make a very strong team. some players even left shannon to play with good teams.
pity really as when shannon town had all the good youths/17's , they got to a youth fai semi. then park got the pick of the players a few years back and got to the junior fai 1/4....

good catchment area in shannon alright but the players do not want to play with the best team....

very sorry goals for fun completley going disagree with u, ther are the bones of 15 to 20 players spread out between the clubs in shannon, as already said, that would be up to standard of premier football in limerick and speakin from my own point of view those lads who would be good enough would jump at the opurtunity to play in premier with any club if they got a tap on the shoulder.
its not the the lads in shannon dont want to play for the best clubs its the oppurtunity was never given to them. shannon would be a great catch for any manager in premier to scout a few players through info and watchin pre season games, before any forms are out or signed

i think you are missing my point. these 15-20pllayers if they really wanted that would get together , sign with the top shannon team (highest division) and trya nd win something decent. unfortunately they are only content with playing in the lower leagues and enjoying the local tournaments against each other...
