When times were bad

Guys first off this is not a thread to have a go at Limerick fc, but only an opinion & annoyance at what i heard from someone a while back. while i was out one night enjoying my 7 up as i don't drink.there were a few people near me chatting & i started chatting to them & we started talking about soccer in England & i said to them do any of ye ever go to a limerick FC match as it would be better to support your local side. As the night progressed one of them started to get a pit tipsy & we started chatting about the club more. but then all of a sudden he let it slip that himself & another fella made a fortune last year working with the clubs kids. (he said how much the 2 of them got running the camps each week & it sickened my stomach). So my Q is why????? when the club were so near going under how could these two fellas be allowed to get away with making a killing off the clubs name at such a bad time. its also shows that the 2 of them don't give a sugar about the club & only interested in lining there own pockets :confused::mad:

as i said this is only something i had to get of my chest as i have supported Limerick FC for years & please god many more to come

a pub is a building where people go to converse,meet members of the opposite sex(or in some peoples cases the same sex),socialise or just to get twisted,a wide variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks are available within,most pubs also sell crisps,peanuts,etc,you should really try and get out a bit more:):):)

im just saying its wrong.

I know you where saying your not going to name names cause you don't want to get people in trouble but most people know who was involved in the camps for the kids so maybe your question should be kept more private amoungst people involved with the club rather than here. Especially if the full details aren't known and all there is to go by is a conversation with a few drinks in these lads. If it can be confirmed by more people involved with the club that this happened or at least the terms of these lads using the Limerick FC name can be found out then fair enough, but for now maybe it should be kept off a public online forum.

2 of my cousins went to these camps and had a great time. Do you expect these lads to work for free? The kids paid for the privilege of being at these camps and I'm sure that was used to cover costs such as wages etc.

And those kids all got a chance to be ballboys, the 2 I know were brought to the match by their father who never goes

400 a week? Hardly robbery. The only way there'd be sonething wrong with it is if they told the club they'd do it for a lesser amount, or for free.

well he did going by what he told me. but he saw an opportunity to rob them. at the worst time possible & the fact that he gloated about not being there most of the time with a smirk on his face says enough.

A real Limerick fan would have put a bottle through his face for being a spoofer. liar or plain kunt. Shame on you.

Should have ran to the top of Arthurs Quay shopping centre, and activated the Pat signal. Scully would have seen the giant P in the sky and come down to sort out these drunken Messers.

Why pointless jebus, onless u like people taking the club for a ride when times a finally looking good for the club.

Well the thread appears to be about some gossip in a pub that isn't backed by facts
You say you don't want to name names but then also give away who they are
I'm not quite sure if you're criticising the club or the people in question
400 quid isn't what I would call ridiculous money
Also can't see what you want to be done about this
So I don't really see the point of the thread

Quick question Hailthelims if you were offered the money to do camp ,and here i have done many sport camps and €400 per camp is very reasonable pay for all the work you do, would you say honestly "lads dont worry i will do it for free so you can pay some of the players weeks wages" my guess is no ... if you are single you will be thinking nice drinking money and pay a bill if your married you wife will be thinking shopping and paying a bill.

Lads ye are missing the point here. he was gloating about getting money for doing nothing ffs. i dont mind somone who does something and gets paid. but to do nothing & gloat about getting away with it at the club is rotten to the core.

If your that upset by this,and if its true i would be annoyed also, i think its best to bring this matter to the clubs attention and let them deal with it.coming on here and telling tales is the wrong way to go about this.

Unfortunately, what some newbie (no offence) says he was told in a pub by some un-named undescribed fella is hardly gonna upset a group of people who have had to put with years of utter bull$hit being told about the club.

Must do better.

But have you not previously said that these guys worked training kids and got 400 euro a week?

How is that getting money for doing nothing?

All, first off i would like to apologise to the people on this forum. The post i put up was a little misleading and was gotten from a third party and was a case of Chinese whispers if I’m to be honest. I got a call today that is after making me realise my actions and i do apologies if some people are going to get in trouble from this. As i have followed LFC for a long time maybe it was a bit of jealousy on my behalf u know who u are so i do apologise.
