I'm fairly sure he meant he reminds him of Messi in that he's 3 feet tall and looks about 13.

Rory Gaffney heading to us

Every club does it. I'm sure we can pick a few from dundalk fans hyping up the likes of Kearns in recent years. No big deal.

It would take about three matches to get 1,800.
The funniest though was from the West Ham website saying Maguire finished as joined top scorer "helping Waterford to gain promotion as runners-up".

Maybe the BBC were onto the FAI and know something we don't.

Limerick, watch yer gaff!

Still, who knows. The BBC are all-knowing. I would never doubt the veracity of anything from them.

If that's true, ye have a gotten an unbelievable player. On his day, he is a beast!

I'd like to see how he does in the Premier divison though. It's easy to be a beast in the First division.

Not when you are up against defensive teams all the time. The space in the premier will suit him better. He was at his most dangerous when teams came out and tried to attack.

He battered the rovers centre halves in the cup. We still lost but he beasted the 2 of them all game. Massive loss for Limerick

He will be fine I'm a great fan of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. When I look at Rory, he really reminds me of him.

**bluewhitearmy** · 04/01/2013, 1:11 PM

Just been told now that Gaffney is going on trial with Ross County.

Playing for the league champions against more motivated, fitter, stronger and technically better players will allow him more space? Have you seen how teams set up against us in the last couple of years?

No, but quite a few reckoned he was destined for the very top level...

Kearns has stalled but he still has the talent to make the top league over there. Of all the players who've gone from the league to England in recent years, he was always the one who stood out to me.

Rory is a class act, lightning fast quality finisher and has a massive throw used properly is worth a couple of goals a season to any team.

Really? You completely forget the First Division that quickly?
