    Darren Young

    I see this ex Barnsley, Football Kingz (New Zealand), Frickley Athletic and most importantly, New Zealand U20 international (several times) is training with us. Currently lining out with Flannerys FC, with a few appearances for Icon United thrown in, could 'Daz' be on his way back to Limerick FC??

    A true legend of the game, can we afford him? I hear he's willing to accept his wages in Beer Vouchers, so if the club can secure a sponsorship deal with Patsy Flannery, we could have the answers to all our prayers...










    **Disclaimer** The Kiwi git is a mate of mine, so all is meant in jest...

    And Waterford United of course.

    He was with us for the 2006 season. He was a signing of the worst
    manager I've ever seen, Mike Kerley.

    But don't get me wrong, he's a decent player.

    Lad above you is a Waterford fan I think. For some inexpicable reason many of them don't rate Mike very highly???

    Wouldn't agree that it's make or break yet, we don't even have a license or a fixture list yet, let's wait and see what kinda hand he's dealt before guiding him towards the plank.

    And I think that an affordable Darren Young could be a good addition, never got a fair crack of the whip last time round.

    Well, it looks very much like Fingal are going to 'buy' themselves the title. After that I feel its a level playing field amongst the rest, and if we improve upon what we did last season, then it (promotion) has to be a priority. It looks like Paul Finucane will be back....a massive gain...and Brian O'Callaghan too. Actually, given the second half of last season, and those signings, then you would have to say promotion is an expectancy.

    Gutted to loose the CocaCola Kid!

    Made very few appearences for us, was shocking in the few he made but fair
    play to the lad he knew it and openly acknowledged it

    So that makes him a prime candidate to play absolute class and score winning
    goals against us. Thats what usully happens to players who are brutal with us!

    In fairness, I think he had no real interest in playing football last season, but you guys were throwing around ridiculous money up there, so he'd have been an idiot to refuse it.

    I don't think Fingal are wrong to go out and sign the best players they can. We'd do the same if we could. Frankly, if we had a load of money and didn't buy good players or offer good players good money I'd be ****£d off.

    I agree, and am not disputing you points at all. I'm envious of them, but hey, thats life.

    I may resent their greater resources and what not but it will be a cold day in hell before I'm jealous of somebody from anywhere near Finglas!

    Exactly, you live just around the corner from gun crime, what do you have to be jealous about?

    nothing against the lads comming in but what the hell is wrong with Paddy and Danno?
    Paddy is solid, Danno is, the best first division center half, rock solid, scores goals....was our only perfoming center half for the first part of last season. when the rest came back he was dropped but brought back in as we were losing too many arial battles.He was also the club player of the year last year!! if the lads come in, what of Danno? my back four would be white, danno, paddy and Molam. there is no place for the two lads comming in but i can see a back four of Tommy, Calla, Paddy and Finni?

    i think he'll play Tommy in midfield.White is the best right back we have and was surprised how little he was used in that position last season. Anyone heard about Shane Treacy? He's been let go by Galway and i believe he's been at a few training seasons with the lads.Would be a super addition to the squad.

    he would be a great addition and i would like to see him with us again (full time) Just before anyone goes off saying sign this fella sign some other fella remember we have a very tight budget, prob the smallest in the division and its a credit to the manager and the committee for making the club work they way it does. We have and will have a very compeditive side and Fingal aside, i would be expecting a very rewarding season for all the fans of Limerick. But remember success doesnt come cheap so can i ask fans to join the friends of limerick/leos lottery. or if your company is in a position enter the jersey draw...www.limerickfc.ie or call 061 324563

    Conor Molan is back with Limerick?? Great news if he is, top player, gets stuck in and is 100% committed in every game ive seen him play. Himself and Tracey would be two excellent players to have. People understand the financial restraints so I think once the bulk of last seasons team remain (and maybe 1 or 2 players) most people will be pretty happy. I Know i will

    If he's back he plays as a centre half of course. He is the best centre half in the division-by a street.
