Limerick Junior Soccer 2004/05

i dont want to discuss that farce of an oscar traynor,players on that cant get on there club teams,considering the back four of oscar traynor team,madden is better than houlihan, hanrahan (who doesnt want to mark)enright(see how far i can kick the ball).they played tommy barrett back there and he has been top scorer for last 2 years-what logic in that.i am confident madden will prove you wrong and i know u do aswell from your statements about him.all he is lacking is hes fitness.otherwise he has every attribute an international centre half should have.would u have considered buckley an international centre half 3-4 years ago?????

your having a laugh ent ya? madden isnt in the same league as those 3, tommy barrett can play anywhere and was moved to right full for the ot team when phillip purcell was struggling with the pace of the winger he was marking,and yes i would have thought chucka would be an international centre half a few years ago

will u stop houlihan isnt a patch on him.hanrahan doesnt want to mark just look pretty,as for enright totally over-rated like thomas daly.

oh so that was a great tactical decision by jaws to move back tommy,1 all and the best goalscorer in ireland on the field and u move him back,says it all bout a teams ambition that is at home and playin a weak waterford ot team.

Flipper you are basing your comments on the Shane Madden you seen at minor.At present he aint a patch on those 3 but maybe in time if he leaves the drink behind which knowing him personally i cant see him doing.

all im saying is that we could pick 3 or 4 teams over with players in limerick that were across the water players and they wasted there talents on one thing or another.john collopy aidan hogan etc.but madden is only 22 has time on hes side, only lackin fitness,has all the ability,no reason why he cant fulfill hes potential

you are extracting the urine arent you? why isnt he playing centre half for the boro if "houlihan isnt a patch on him" and im sure any other posters on this site would be slow to say he would oust either enright or hanrahan from the pike team,and as for daly id rather have christopher reeve centre half than thomas daly

he wouldnt fight for hes place in fairview took the handy way out back to the boro,sure dom fitz is playin centre half for the boro-will u stop

Knowing Madden i would honestly say that he is not really that interested in playing ball.It wouldnt cast him a thought to pack it in, in the morning.Not the same player he was 3/4 years ago over drink and lack of training but id love to see him get back in to it.

I saw shane lately and I must say that he is looking very Fit and is training very hard fair play to him..I think that he is a very good player and just because he was an excellent centre Half underage doesent mean he cant be an excellent right back at Junior level...Best of luck to him

2 very good games down for decision this weekend in the FAI.I fancy Fairview to beat Pike by at least 2 goals and it wouldnt surprise me if the Pike season falls to tatters if they lose this 1.
Park and the Boro will be a very close game i feel and might even need penalty kicks like last time to find the winner.If the Boro were at home they would be warm favourites but Park are a well organised outfit and are tough to beat in Shannon.Its to close to call for me.

i reckon its boro and fairview to be the two teams to go through for me,all the pressure on pike to stay involved in a big cup and not go out of the two of them in 7 days,agree with you in sayin there season will fall apart if they lose this one but i reckon fairviews big game players will stand up and be counted again and i just cant look beyond a fairview victory(comfortable)
as for boro and park, boro are doin very well at the moment and will carry the momentum through from a great win last week and i just feel they will have too much for park on the day.
if they both win they will be only two teams left in both.

Yes i think Mr Finnan is beginning to turning things around down at the boro after there less then inspiring start.He will need time though - they are a long way behind fairview as are every team in town.Some of the Balla players thought they were the best after winning the league last year but Fairview have brushed them aside comfortably on both occasions they have met this season.Balla are a very over rated team in my opinion.

oh i would have to agree on that last statement, balla are too slow at the back, and when they go down they fight and argue amongst themselves blaming every other player around them.

yes they have no discipline whatsoever.How often have we seen them ahve men sent off in big games?

ya very like the carew park of last 7 or 8 years,great potential there

I heard carew were lucky to win on penalties last weekend against herbertstown.They seem to be a hard team to beat on there own patch.They beat balla last year.

Balla beat carew 4-1 up there last year in the league...Sure dident they go the whole league campaign unbeaten

i think he means herbertstown are hard to beat on there own patch and not carew park

Right thats true... apologies

Who do you fancy in the FAI matches this weekend?

i know you didnt ask me van der but i fancy fairview and the boro, although both games will be close, i think both teams have a big 2 much for their opponents especially with the fact that they are both coming off the back of 2 good results last week confidence will be high

i tend to agree with you inexcile.I think the park - boro game will be a lot closer then the fairview game.I really fancy fairview to win this 1 well.All Pike are is a big physical side and the only threat i can see them causing Fairview is from set pieces.They lack imagination going forward and they dont score enough goals.Fairview had a panal of 20 players last week and every 1 of em would prob get on any other team in town.

Comments about this player are very harsh
Granted he is a looper but a nice one
he has played premier football for many years for 3 clubs (Balla, Star, Carew) in a variety of position (full back, centre half, midfield and now upfront) played in a Munster junior final and fai semi final and various local finals and oscar traynor
i know everyone has there opinion but has and still is scoring goals and his record speaks for itself

I dont know to be honest i think the 2 games will be very close andas they say its all on the day.I Think boro will beat Park AET could be pens and i think the pike and view one could go all the way too but i hope Fairview win because they have a better chance of progressing in the latter rounds

I agree with Backodanet about Bussoli and in fairness he is still banging them in ...nice guy too

I can not believe the way a number of you are taking Shane Madden's charachter talking about his drinking and interest in the game.
He is an amatuer and he is not asked to be discussed in this forum. I don't know the lad but how would you like if someone was talking about you or a family member in a similar manner.
Nothing wrong with discussing his football ability but lets keep the "News of the world" ****e for another chat room

Well said ....and i think he is a fin player into the bargain

agree with barry k - amatuer game

looks like A2Z have made up there mind about the pike fairview match

http://www.a2zsoccer.com/news/conten...m?file=1608580

ha ha a freudian slip i think backodanet!! although i have confidence that fairview are the better side anything can happen on the day otherwise teams wouldnt bother showing up half the time, at the end of the day its 11 v 11 and if you are well organised and disciplined you have a chance, look at greece in the summer

ya the olympics were good werent they.

Pike beat Fairview yesterday and from what i hear the boro threw it away against Park.First time Fairview are out of the Fai this side of christmas in about 10 years.

was at the fairview and pike game myself,they say never change a winning team-why derek white done that i dont know.
pike won it fair and square but fairview had no luck and i feel they could still be there and it wouldnt go in for them,im afraid to say i dont think they FAI will be stayin on shannonside this year

I dont know about that flipper - all the so called big sides seem to be falling by the wayside.Blessington beat St Kevins on penalties also i heard yesterday.Pike will always he hard to beat.

no way will pike win it,im convinced of that.although the way i saw them react after yesterdays performance u swear they won it already.i would nearly perfer to be goin to kevins next week.at least u know what u are goin up to,with blessington it could be middle of nowhere

They may not win it flipper but it will take a very good performance to beat them.They are very solid at the back but they are not great going forward.

I feel the Boro could have went a long way had they won yesterday but by all accounts they threw it away.

ya being 3-1 up and losing.not acceptable at all.finnan must have being raging.few boro lads will have to take responsibility and stand up when it counts instead of blaming everyone else

When a team looses a game when they are 3-1 up there must be something wrong. The Boro are a better team than Park if you take it player for player but its a team game and its a cup, anything can happen, best of luck to Park and Pike they deserve to be in the next round.

so any insight on what is wrong then???
