Derek McCarthy Shocker!!

This is going to kill the rumour mill.

It is also going to destroy the Pike Rovers dream.

It is also going to make the town of Kilmallock very happy.

Derek McCarthy has not left, or been released by Limerick 37.

He is still a happy member of the squad.

He is not going to go back playing with Pike Rovers.

When he retires from EL football, the next club he plays for will be Kilmallock.

How do I know this??

I had a half hour phone conversation with him yesterday.

Sorry rumour spreaders....and Pike Rovers fans!! :)

is that why he told me in flannerys the weekend hes getting released and would be happy going back playing with pike again the few bob might help:D

Christ its like a tabloid hack convention in here. :p

He's been helping out with training Kilmallock as far as I know (or at least was pre season) so that'd make sense.

A pittance to what Caherdavin Celtic pay out on a weekly basis LtiD. I assume they have a Russian Oligarch on their side from frequent signs you see around there baring the name Ivans

I don't care what anybody says, at that price he's the most valuable player on earth. :)

No not per game, per week

Some weeks Derek has to play two games to collect his euro

My apologies I just thought you'd use the rest of the money to save for your own pitch or corner flags even.

Right on! Oh while I have you here Green Hoop will you get on to the Juniorball lot and get that kip of a ground done up? It's disgraceful the amount of work that needs doing, but I'm sure that the superclubs of the Juniorball league and their thousands of supporters can pull together on this one

The same way you were going to get Pike redone?I was on the committee for the first game above in pike when we were told Limerick didn't have there own corner flags or nets,I'm sure nothing has changed since then if you take your time to read through these forums..

And my original comment on Derek was ment as a joke,but it seems god missed you lot when he was handing that out.

What are you apologising for??

That's why we're only paying a quid a week so we can save for these kind of things.

So far this season we have one corner flag, BOTH nets and a left boot

Why would Pike ever want to make the step up?

Ye should setup a L37 Vs. the Oscar Traynor limerick team game...it'd be very interesting..

Wasent that done last year? didnt we win with half our 21's in the team?Prefer a proper game with a Desmond league selection to be honest, less ego, whinging and begrudgery with those lads + their heads are not stuck up their holes.

It was indeed done last year, and if I remember correctly Limerick FC sent the Juniors running home to mama. One have thought one of the Pike board members would know this though :confused:

Arron ? from AA in Keeper
Jamie Enright - RB (pike)
Mark Sheehan - LB (Regional)
Phil Purcell - CH (pike)
Pat McGarry - CH (pike)
Shane O'Donoghue - RW (regional)
Robert Brock - LW (Balla)
Ger Bourke - CM (Regional)
Keith Hartnett - CM (Pike)
Alan Barry - CF (Boro)
Dave Wall - CF (Pike)

That was the oscar traynor side from last thursday night,minus one or two,I'd say they'd give a "Semi-Professional" side like yourselves a good run for your money or lack of..by rights you pro's should hockey use off the pitch,,and I'd hardly call the U-21's yours either,last time checked they were an accumulation of limerick club players no??namely half the wembley youth's mixed with 2-3 other clubs.

Players are as you well know my friend, are free to play with who they choose and i assume that all the under 21s that are signed to Limerick are there by their own choice. As are the six (6) ex limerick players (some of whom are very much not amateur) which exist in the Oscar trainor side. Tell you what, you arrange that match between our sorry, the Limerick under 21 side who of course are amateur and an amateur oscar trainor side, ie one that none of its players are being paid by their clubs. Now list your oscar trainor side. oh btw we'll bring the attendence as well :rolleyes:

Dear Children, this thread is about 2 more trite posts from being locked (possibly one after my own).

On an aside Dave Wall looked excellent for the hour or so of the Oscar Traynor game that I watched the other night, better than a lot of our current incumbents anyway...

Probably no worse than Wexford or Kilkenny.

Better than Dundalk even? How did it finish up?

One apiece. This whole discussion could go around in circles forever anyway. The MSL side are almost inevitably better than Douglas Hall (who are just one of their members). There was sod all between us and Douglas Hall based on those cup games so maybe the Munster SL are better than we are. And as we beat Dundalk they must be better than them too.

Limerick 37 would beat the LDL selection in a competitive match. I've no doubt about that. The best 11 players on the pitch would not all be in Limerick 37 shirts though.

And they wouldnt have Magic Ski Mageeeeeee.:)

Ah,theres not one player on that oscar traynor team being payed,travel expenses maybe but no one paid...

And I'm struggling to find many from that oscar traynor team that played with limerick not to mention the magic 6 you mentioned..and Sure you couldn't even manage to lure Hartnett to L37,gave you the 2 fingers during the summer and opted for a nice holiday with the Irish junior side in American instead..
