if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
I thought that the word on the street was that Mernagh was after signing for Pike no? he would be a good addition to Michaels though. He must be gettin alot of "expenses" for his travels all the way down to tipp then noShould be a cracker of a game pity one of the big guns have to go so early in the cup both teams have made it a habit of gettin far in the competition over the last number of years!
He got too greedy for Pike..I thought that the word on the street was that Mernagh was after signing for Pike no? he would be a good addition to Michaels though. He must be gettin alot of "expenses" for his travels all the way down to tipp then no
Fixtures for Round 3 of the MJC are down for Sunday week 09/12/07
Pallasgreen v Killmallock
Star Rovers v Wembley
Aisling A'cotty v Janesboro
Ballynanty Rvs v Pike Rvs
Knockainey v Caherconlish
Corbally Utd v Regional
6 winners advance to "Open Draw" for out of town stages in Rd 4.
With Mernagh signing and Town without Aaron Moroney, this will tip the balance in Michael's favour. Will be close but I would have to fancy Michael's
ya ye paid big bucks for mernagh he was asking 100e_150e from teams in limerick plus clonmel fair play to them not paying him hes hardly playing for ye for nothing
Not exactly the best example to be setting for smaller clubs is it buying success.Strange thing about payin players is you can never be quite sure if he's playing for the club or his next big paypacket.I would hope for the sake of who ever signed him he dos'nt get tapped up the night before a big game by someone with a bit more money.
By the way what exactly do you tell the younger players tryin to break into your squad when they ask why ar'nt they given the chance for a break through.Sorry we'd rather pay for it than develope it.
I have never ever heard of a club building a successful junior team on the back of a pay cheque.But I have lots of examples of clubs who are up shiite creek because they put money into players who won them nothing instead of puttin a little time an effort into developing their younger players.

Their's only one Dinny Pop's.
Paying lads to play junior football is a complete joke, if a fella doesn't want to play for your club then you're better off without him no matter how good he is supposed to be.
Paying players will only come back to haunt a club in the end, for one it will **** off the lads who aren't getting paid!!
Exactly...Now tell that to the rest of the Limerick crowd...Pity most can't tell the difference between travel expenses and wages...If both were the same, pike have been "paying" players for years before it was even thought of in Junior soccer...
I can tell you now,players like Dermot Phelan,Dave Morris and likes would have Fecked off years ago if Pike were paying big "wages" to mercs...
Well davy wall must have been travelling by chopper to get 2 grand to come in from shannon if he only got it for expenses and not to play..As for Dermot phelan he would never leave cos know other club in town would have him..
And Dave morris fecking off might be a good thing for pike ????
we'll take 'em
Mama Mia!!
Yes and ofc you've seen Davy with his 2 grand no doubt....your probably his PA are you??Or did a 'friend of a friends friend' tell you?And Tell me a team Phelan wouldn't get into in town?? Stop making rubbish claims when you know nothing about it,only the rubbish you spout here..
Their's no smoke without fire

didnt phelan play with fairview
I beleive he played with view for 1 season
Yes he did play one seaosn with the View and also played before that with Granville, but whats that got to do with players being payed "expenses".
If Pike want to pay expenses then thats up to them, nothing to do with any other person, player or club.
Wo their Abbey, I would'nt go throwing that statement out into the open air.Remember for clubs who apply for funding for developement,an Pike will have done so along with the rest of us. They have to also state that they are a non profit organisation.Thus they can except donations but cannot use those donations in any way that may be seen as to bring a profit to the club,I'd say winning the league an maybe the Fai junior cup by paying/expenses players might top up your coppers a bit in the long run.......
Secondly when or if a league of Ireland player is regraded part of the regrading is that that person will no longer reveive a wage or expense's for playing football,other wise he wont be allowed play junior football so all your doing by naming the clubs that pay players expenses is inviting an objection along the way in some competition.
From my own point of view it seems their are certain clubs in Munster doing this and the seem to receive an awlful lot of very negative posts on this website for doing so.To be perfectly honest to me an this is only my opinion,its basically an unfair advantage,or maybe even cheating.Some will agree,an I think I know who won't.

That is a fantastic post, it makes the most sense I have read on this site since I've joined. For starters any club club paying players to win a competition at junior level are psising into the wind. Is it not the amateur status of a player the makes the FAI such a unique competition along with the local lad who plays football for a club that he loves.
These clubs have raped their league and surrounding leagues for players for longer then I care to remember. Hence sufficating all other junior clubs who can't afford to pay players and won't pay players, as a result the decline in Junior soccer has been dramatic.
Why would young lads want to play when they know they have not got a hope of competing for a major honour no matter how much work they put in. Good on you "littleman" I'm glad someone finally said it.
