Tommy Heffernan is not good enough to play in the pike or fairview team. as said above he done nothing in the prem last year.. Watched him play a few times and if im to be honest I taught he was really poor...Quote:

Look its obvious were in the midst of a recession so me thinks its $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$Quote:

Also before i forget........He also said to say thankyou to everyone on this site over the past few months that has asked about him for him as he reads the posts every so often.....
strange for them to be out so early before most teams are back training.....:confused:Quote:

i havnt been talking to tommy since the season ended but st micks were after him last year as well.i dont think any of the limerick teams approached him this year so maybe thats the reason he went.im the same as everyone else on here as to why he would leave the best league in munster.(???????$$$$$$$???????)but as i already said he is one of our own and we unfortunately wish him the best and hope it dosnt work out that he might come back.Quote:

Age is a poor excuse there is alot of players that are younger than tommy playing with the top sides in limerick going to tipp was a handy option for him as st micks are a poor side kilmallock are a better side than st micks believe me and if its about the money no money is worth doing too rockrovers on a sunday afternoon.Quote:

I predicted he'd leave before the end of the season but i never thought he'd go out there in the tipp league its a bit easier to compete for players when you have only 2 or 3 clubs at any decent level when you come into limerick your looking at 7 or 8 competitive teams granted fairview and pike are a step ahead of most but boro, regional, balla, and aisling even carew park if they get their house in order can compete in mjc what could possess a player to go out and play in a league like that you'd be as well off goin back to Div 1A similar standard ...Quote:

Ha ha ha i hope whitestripe can help me out here but the average side you talk about (Ashling) hammered st micks in the fai or mun jun this year or last year with a half a side correct if im wrong.Quote:

lads tommy had a bad season this time last season most of the top teams in limerick were after him after been playing in 1a and starting nearly all oscar trainer games and scoring in a lot of them, he has had a bad season instead of running off to one of the top teams in limerick and more then likely being a sub he has gone to a good tip side where he should start get his confidence back and maybe come back to the limerick league next year,maybe this year he did not want to be playing against his brothers and his mates and after a year away it might be alot easier to cut his links to kilmallock and go into town
and your point is......you dont get it do you.what big trophy have aisling won,or for that matter boro,balla etc.......none.st mics win mjc cups and contest fai,s ...ya ok they get beat by the aislings and boro,s of this world now and then but they are a big club with big trophy history and its a perfect move for heffernan.he gets a new chance at a big club a mere 25mins from kilmallock at a decent standard,and he wont have to face his parochial mates,its a no brainer,the lad obviously wants to better himself and best of luck to him.Quote:
