Just a quick question about who Actually picks the irish junior team..i was under the impression that it was the manager gerry smith. i have being told by some of the players who played for my club in the season just past, that mr considine from pike actually can get players picked for the irish junior team if the go and sign with pike. I would like to congratulate Mr conside on his promotion... I womder is Mike o'brien aware this.. i thought that he was the junior scout for limk...?

Hi Leather
A bit like Turlough on the Schoolboy scene, Conny makes direct contact with the Irish manager informing him of potential Pike caps.
Maybe you need to get the number!!
As regards your players I know Gerry Smyth had Alan Carroll watched twice this season once in the Lawson Cup final and he was advised to wait until next season.
Other than young Carroll, while your side had a brilliant success, no individual stood out as International class.

You seem to have a problem with Limerick players being given caps???Conny is a friend of gerry smith, what was wrong with conny telling him hartnett and McGarry were good enough for int level, as for sign for pike and get a cap..name the players who told you this...the usual anti pike crap.

Didn't Frankie have a falling out with Deckie Considine?? something about Deckie squelling on Frankie about drinking the night before a match which led to Frankie been dropped and not getting another decent run in the team??

as a matter of interest does anyone think that Pat McGarry, Keith Hartnett or Robbie Coombes didnt deserve an international cap

hartnett probably did as he played quite well over the season but... if he got capped im certain alan carroll should have as well, pa mcgarry i honestly dont think so but i dont know what position he got capped in he could make a quality left back at that level, and robbie coombes absolutely not

and what about his stints with fairview and stella maris.people seem to forget those.

Have no problem with any player with any club from any league getting a cap...actually delighted for any person who gets the honour. It is the way in which certain people can claim to have the ability to aquire these caps for a player IF they sign for their club, that is what i have a problem with... How do you make out this is anti pike???? I would have the same opinion of any person involved with any club who would claim to have this ability. is it not the Managers job to award the caps.....?

i think robbie coombes is one the most under rated players in town ... he must be doing somthing right to get picked for the oscar traynor, then the national trials and then get capped.

as far as I know killester have signed him for next year cause hes moving back to dublin - he must be doing somethig right

Coombes playes his best games in the middle of the park, alot of posts about Hartnett and Carroll on the site, surprised not to see John Mescall mentioned, best I have seen in that role this and last season.
