One story on Ski - John Herrick took over as manager in Galway circa late 80's. Ski was still playing. First teamtalk was Herrick's (for those of you that remember him from the 70's as a player) usual kick everything up in the air and if you can't get the man get the ball.
He turns to ski "I want you tracking back, if the centre half moves forward you tackle him" "Boss I haven't gone into a tackle since 1972 and I'm not starting now".
Thanks to GSpain for adding a much needed touch of humour to the proceedings. Anyone who knew Ski as a player will know that he was being being very honest with his new boss. Anyone who knows him as a manager will know the posts from Galway were also pretty accurate.
But hey best of luck to Limerick. I'd be delighted to see a Treaty side in the Prem & pushing for honours it would be a shorter trip to away games (new Ennis bypass n all) and would inject a bit of mid 80s rivalry back into the proceedings.
The contributions of Green&White and LTID are just uncalled for. References to our General manager, who just happens to be quite ill at the moment, and our manager are in bad taste.
Somehow I feel a lot safer in the company of someone who did his time for a crime committed outside this jurisdiction than in the company of some of those roaming freely around your beloved City.
No offence intended. Good Luck to Limerick on the soccer front.

What are YOU doing to make it better?
Are you replying to my post are are you talking to yourself? You don't seem to have anything positive to say so why don't you practice what you preach. I realise that one or two Galway United fans have posted vulgar comments on the Limerick forum but don't paint us all with the same brush.

Which criminal are you referring to? If it's Leeson, then I agree, I didn't see you whinging at his appointment. but you are whinging now! You're a little late. He's been there two years.
I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I am saying "...Paul McGee has more experience of this managerial lark than Tony Cousins did when he got the managers job...", But now that you have mentioned it, Cousins came to Galway United after being assistant to Doolin at Drogheda and U21 manager at Shamrock Rovers. McGee had no experience. In the meantime, he has publically declared an interest in managerial jobs at Sligo, Harps, Waterford, Athlone and even Galway United again but he failed. Sure maybe Limerick 37 will give him a job even though he hasn't managed a team over the age of 12 since 1989.

I met Paul MaGee tonight and i would like to welcome him to the Limerick Soccer fold. Designs of kits and new crest look class and well done to all involved. Back room teams and other stuff will all be put together in the comming weeks. Pre season training to start or re start this week.
Paul McGee can't be any worse than Noel O'Connor, so I'm not complaining. Should he turn out to be worse, I will of course start to complain![]()
With any new manager he has to be given a chance. He has played football at the highest level. It also depends on what type of squad we will have next season. I imagine it will be a building phase. Frankly I'm relieved we still have a team in the league.
When will work take place on Jackman Park, I think it has great potential, any more news of player transfers? I know there is more important issues to address but I take a new website will? be formed
