So, the starting line-up tomorrow night should be:
Mooney
Wolfe Purcell Finny Buckley
Heffernan Lestor Barrett Waters
Kelliher McCarthy
Subs: Healy, Rose, Molan, Kiely, Ryan or Guerin or Bourke
I am not sure what the story is with Eoin Keating - if he's available he goes in for Wolfe.
A good side. It's a small front line - which means keeping it on the ground.
Another season to start with wild optimism. :D
looks like a good team on paper.
That people is an excellent team on paper, a championship winning team in fact :)Quote:

Yep we're looking good so far anyway, but if there's no promotion this year than Noel HAS to go!
Incidentally I'm working on not throwing something negative into all my posts this season, or at least not into all my sentences.........you b.astards

Correct me if im wrong but isnt Waters the bulky bloke who played up front against Dublin City,theres no way you could play him in midfield nevermind on the wing.McCarty back to midfield maybe where NOC had him when he wanted him out.Heffo should be on the left his the only 1 who could make any impression out there.............Quote:

I forgot Lestor was suspended. I think Finny in the centre could work well enough. Draft in Buckley to the centre and Molan at right full.
Isn't it great to finally be focusing on the football.
Lads,
I dont think Lestor is suspended.Apparantly there was a mix up and he is not suspended until a later date
NOC might not even start Robbie or McCarthy after what happened in the last few months it wouldnt suprise me.Mooney,Purcell and Barrett are certs to start who knows what he'll do after that....
Jaime Nolan has been named in the Cork squad for the season,what do they see in this fella.Colm Carroll from Caherdavin who played with C'davin and Corbally is also in it,how did Limerick miss out on him?
Ok well no offence mate but you were saying all the time that Robbie would never play with limerick again, he is so why are you still doom and gloom? Colm Carroll is on the cork city football course for the last 3 years, hes living in cork and doesnt fancy the spin up and down the road so hes staying with them, liam costello is also on the same corse but we had him signed before hand. So what if nolan is with them do we honestly care? I expect robbie and carty both to play tonight in some if not all of the game, weather pendingQuote:

Longford Town Vs Sligo OFF due to waterlogged pitchQuote:

Did NOC sign them up??:DQuote:

Ya maybe, or maybe its Hill Celtic making $hite of our pitch all year. How anyone can blame the club for a waterlogged pitch in the circumstances is beyond me :rolleyes:Quote:

when it comes to football you never say anything but you are good to tell us whose doing exams etc but when it comes to the football your off talking about child sex cases.....
at the end of the day Limerick need to sort the pitch situation out...............
Agreed the pitch needs to be sorted, maybe if you spent less time following me around internet forums you could go up and do it yourself? :rolleyes:Quote:

LFCIE I'm sorry you started off with all the best intentions of having a fooball thread I know :p
Now can we all stop the fussin-an-a-feudin??? :p :)
Yeah, but its sort of apposite that this weekend a discussion about football should get bogged down by a discussion about pitches and weather. :)Quote:

are you saying that they play Gaa (Bogball) in **** pitches.....
maybe if you went to the grounds below you might stop talking sh*t
Gaelic Grounds
Bruff
Na Piarsigh
Claughan
even your near neighbours old chritians
all have far better facilities than lim's and they are only Amatuer clubs,not even in the highest level of their sports...they all own their own grounds as well dont have to go cap in hand to fr joe...... Concentrate our your own version of bogball(waterlogged pitch).
[QUOTE=leather]all said grounds in receipt of lottery funding and id question how good some of those pitches are that you mentioned having played on all of them. St patricks would be the best IMO. Limerick have never been given lottery funding to do up rathbane so ur point is mute. I can name many GAA grounds btw where games were called off last weekend also :cool:Quote:

Also, you cannot seriously say that football and bogball require similar standards from their pitches. While Limerick may not be a total football outfit - having a smooth run of teh ball on a bogball pitch is hardly important...
to lfc in exile..
imagine that a pitch is a facilitiy.(one of the most important).. not that important to lims , ball very seldom touches the grass. where does it say that lims have to pay the players...? i am not an apologist for the gaa but the gaa is an amateur organisation run professionally, how would you rate how loi div 1 is run..??.gaa clubs have massive expenses in running under age teams... that is were they spend a fortune , most loi clubs just let the local junior soccer clubs do this for them... massive expense put by lims into underage,,,, i think not.the likes of lims should look more at how the gaa runs its system and stop thinking that they can run it like england football system..

[QUOTE=leather]. To answer your point, all the above clubs / grounds have been in existance for how long????? and as gael said, have been able to draw down on substantial funding from the lottery and other such like for many years now. Lim Fc on the other hand are just beginning their journey, and hopefully in the not too distant future we will have a ground and facilities that all Limerick people should be proud of. I have no problem with the GAA, yes they may run a professional outfit, but had a certain individual not bailed them out financially to the tune of 5 million for the facelift the Gaelic Grounds got a few years ago, then where would they be now(financially anyway). Another club you mentioned is considering selling up to a developer for around 9 million (thats if believe what you read in the papers) and good luck to them if they do. The Limerick County Board were also given a field in Rathkeale as a gift,they got funding to develop it and this is now known as "Mick Neville Park" and yes it is also far better than anything Lim Fc have at present, but its easy to do this when you get these things handed to you, and for fcuk all outlay.Quote:

Cork City in the early eighties tried to buy a field / stadium called "Flower Lodge", they could only come up with a deposit to hold it at the time, the Gaa got wind of it and bought the ground, and this was when the Cork County Board posted huge losses the previous year. This field is now known as "Pairc i Rinn".Soccer is on the up again in this country what with our league clubs doing well in the european competitions etc and they don't like it, the Gaa can get money from almost anywhere, Banks / Brewerys / Entreprenuers etc, that is what will,and until BIGOTRY leaves our shores, be always what seperates Gaa from Soccer.
i think you will run the country someday you'll defo get my vote..............down with the GAA
