not a bad idea real deal.i think it would be a good option to try something like a top 4 playoff.every year this kind of thing happens,some teams season is practically over in march and when a team is safe in mid table they tend to have problems fielding teams as lads who may be working etc wont get off for a match whereas if there was a cup game or important league game they wouldQuote:

Have to agree. The numbers playing ball on sunday mornings is dropping and so is the quality. standard of the premier overall is poor, some might come back and say that we got 3 teams into the semi final of the FAI, (Pike pending), but I think this just shows the even bigger decline in junior soccer in the whole country. Put it this way. Alot of fellas would enjoy a game of astro twice a week during the week then get up on a sunday morning to play.
i think maybe it could be tried out for one season anyway then aa balla regional and the boro would be more interested than they are at this moment in time in the league..........

Scrap the Touhy
We got a 2 day notification that our last fixture was moved to a thursday evening KO. We will not play agian until 13th May, a two week gap? If you want the standard to improve the whole shooting match needs to be stripped down and re-structured. Give clubs every opportunity to put their best teams on the pitch each week. This will hopefully lead to standards improving and in time should in theory lead to more people going to see junior football.
IMO junior soccer in limerick city is ruined there are 2 or 3 teams in the league that has resources that the rest cant match which is making the league predictable and boring.
im not having a go at any club there is more than 1 doing it. E.G if there is a player playing with carew balla UL corbally wembley etc etc who is a fantastic player prob that clubs best player what is happening is you have clubs caling down to the players house OR EVEN HIS PLACE OF WORK asking him to sign with them.
player says no he is happy with the club he is with we all know what happens then he gets offered certin things player rings up his club a few hours later and tells manager im moving to a diff club.
its a joke and the LDMC needs to be having a look at this i the summer then again were is the proof this is going on.
im sure there is alot of clubs that this has happened to just my opinon lads.
Some days when the weather is bad you know that certain fields wont hold up and you still have to travel etc. Clubs could have the option of changing the fixture to the away teams pitch with proper notice to both clubs if they both agreed.
If they held meetings with players from different clubs it would be a step in the right direction and a chance to get ideas across from a players view.
I think its each clubs responsibility to raise the bar if they are to compete. Aisling are building a full size artificial pitch to FIFA standards so hopefully some games will be played on a saturday evening under lights. Aisling traditionally don't lose any players to other clubs, Limerick FC have taken a few but players are encouraged to take this move in the club.Quote:

the league need to be more professional from pitches (certain standard for different divisions) to referrees (each clubn have to have nominated 2 lines men ). ...... the fixtures need to be transparent and fair. (we were down for a cup final tomorrow, and then the week before they change the plans to suit other teams even though we asked for the weekend off the game is on this friday)
junior football is in the decline as a lot of lads just want a bit of fun and crack during the week and their nights out at the weekend.
watch we will beat pike sunday mullins and mc,garry out for season they have no 1 to fill in hope they get back in fai aswell beat them in final or forwards will have field day:roll:Quote:

out watching too, you could have a 2 week shutdown for hols too. We didn't play a match from end of oct till the middle of feb and pitches
wouldn't need as much money pumped into them for their upkeep either. its win/win
The best post i have seen some of the crap coming out with clubs that are struggling on the field is unreal, thomas72 i think seem to have a gripe with not been able to compete with the top teams ye cant compete with the bottom teams thats the problem carew park have, and as far as players been tapped up ye had no problem taking players from different clubs, dassler when you say we do you mean fairview or does it mean you will get the nod to start, junior soccer should be summer soccer i think it will come in surly after this year.Quote:

great post daz....how much will be charged on Sunday morning , i need to know because if i can't afford it I can't climb over a wall...because i just had my hair done ask KK he might help out
Man seriously you still sayin we're the second worst team in the league? We've beaten regional (fair enough not their strongest team), drew with a strong aisling team and beat kilmallock (relegation) geraldines (relegation)..its not like we've been handed points from these teams!you seem to just come on here puttin other teams down..Quote:
