reason for negitive vibes?

We just signed a striker, one who played with a team with a great tradation last season, a striker who threw himself into every tackle, a striker with a goal return unequalled in our league, some of the local non net fans know this already and all bets on Limerick being promoted are off, also the suicide rate has gone up. One fan just choked on his dinner when i told him. We have just signed :( i cant bring myself to say his name, oh jesus why us, here we are all proud not to have signed a donkey like Jason Kabia yet we signed Cant Pass O'Brian...again :rolleyes:

This is a surprise. I know a certain minority feel that CP wasn�t handled properly and used it as another excuse to attack Mike Kerley a few months ago but I�d like to point out that he didn�t make the grade either with Cork City. So I guess Pat Dolan is a bad manger as well. But seriously we all know that he has the potential to be a good player but his problem is in his attitude and application. Hence the reason why nearly all Limerick FC fans who saw him play were delighted to see him go before the end of last season. He�s not a team player and I feel could prove to be a disruptive force, NOC is taking a gamble in my opinion. He would have been far better off trying to resign Kulsten who in my opinion is a far better player.

One incident I remember concerning CP was when we played away to Galway last season, CP texted Mike Kerley half an hour before kick off to say he couldn�t make the match supposedly because of injury. Why he couldn�t contact him earlier in the day I don�t know but what I do know is that the players weren�t impressed, the same set of players who are being retained this season. If we do sign CP he is going to have to start doing the business straight away on the field to win the fans and players over.

:eek: :eek:

What kind of a message does this signing send to people lik Finny who AFAIK is yet to resign? Remember this is a man who basically quit travelling to away games towards the end of last season, John Healy was forced to come on as a loan striker up in Athlone when this guy was at home fit :mad: What were they thinking re-signing him? I dunno what amazes me more, the fact that someone at the club took the bother to ring and ask for his signature or the fact that the lazy **** got up and answered his phone :mad: This is a real shocker by NOC and could alienate quite a few fans. Some people are beyond deserving a second chance and in my humble opinion Consistently Poor O'Brien is one of them. I could forgive a lack of ability but not a lack of effort

:mad:

Exactly the same sentiment as myself then. Can't Pass O'
Brien has friends in high places, that's been an open secret for a while now and it would explain how he ended up on our doorstep again. It's not like he was linked with anybody else now is it? The mooted interest from Cobh certainly never materialised and there was a distinct shortage of hype about a player whose claim to fame is playing well once in an U-21 game...

I dunno, maybe it's just me but even outside of the fact that he seemed a lazy, selfish, petulant liability for much of the season there's the fact that he hardly set the world alight anyway.

Hopefully he'll fare better this time out but I'm not convicned that it's a good move at all. He'll have to play out of his skin from the start to win over the majority of the support as well as the players who weren't complimentary about him either. Best of luck to him anyway I suppose, I hope I'm wrong and he turns out to be a player after all.

in fairness he did a bit more than that. When I saw him at Limerick he looked pathetic- he wasn't interested and he made no effort at all. He's certainly capable of doing good things for limerick if he puts his mind to it, but if I were a limerick fan I'd be very disappointed given his behaviour.

Gael, seeing as you are so down on Colin P., care to lay a tenner that, if he signs, he scores more goals this year than Derek McCarthy. His attitude was bad - but everything stunk to high heaven last year. You are underestimating him. :)

I'll easily lay down 50 that Derek scores more although it will be difficult with such a wastrel partnering him :mad:

Actually lads it's just a simple mix-up. NOC actually meant to ring Colin T but rang Colin P instead (it's what you get when you rely on phone nos in a mobile)
Reportedly, Colin P couldn't believe he was being offered another chance and jumped at it, while NOC couldn't believe how easy it was to get his man!

The first training session should be good crack!

Its not that im down on the guy its just his attitude twords us the supporters last season, he told JohnD to go "f*%k himself when John offered encouragement, gave him the finger too. I wont bet with you on this one LFC last year i didnt take one either when one of the then club amigos offered odds on CP and Alan Barry getting more goals then Stevo and Carthy the year before. No i just think his re-signing might alienate some/lots of supporters.

Your right about the place being in bits but i think the mention of seats was for 600. something will have to be done bout the pitch too but we always get the first game away so it'll be pushed out to 6/7 weeks to get right.

6/7 week is fine but what about seeing some kind of movement there, time is ticking away and 7 weeks is a hell of a short time to bring the ground up too a standard where people will spend there money and contuine to support us.we need action now the time for words has pass ;)
where is the rest of the magic fix and when do they turn up to be counted

How about giving some credit that you have a season to talkabout at all. You know if there was a movie about Limerick FC people would thinkit was a blue one with all the moaning that goes on. :rolleyes:
