Nice wig, Jack. Shame about the manager.

**pineapple stu** · 25/03/2009, 11:35 AM

Sounds a good signing. Fairly happy we've you beaten and out of the way already (for the first round anyway)

**Longfordian** · 25/03/2009, 11:59 AM

Could be a good appointment for Limerick. Will he be travelling up and down from Dublin for training etc?.

**Tis-smeee** · 25/03/2009, 12:07 PM

He will be in for a land after managing rovers.

**holidaysong** · 25/03/2009, 12:16 PM

Excellent appointment. Good luck to Limerick FC this year.

Nice to see Scully back in the league ...

The league needs its "characters"!

I'll give it 3 weeks & then he wont like the shape of some fellas head down there & it will be all over. This is a fight waiting to happen.

Seems a long way for him to go, is he not a taxi driver based in dub ?

Think he lives in Portlaoise

Good appointment, hes good at finding players from nowhere to do a job for ya, just look at Kilkenny and then he took half of them to Rovers, expect them to be tough to break down. He builds his teams on defence.

He started out at Kilkenny and did unbelieveably well with them. Completely turned them around at the time and get them to the premier division. Signed some great players for them as well. If anything, he is far better equipped now to manage Limerick. Good signing, he'll do well.

Eh, he got Kilkenny to fourth spot.

Yeah cause Kilkenny really took off as a club after Scully left. 4th was a miracle for them that year

Great appointment by us in my opinion. Recognisable face for the barstoolers, proven track record and from what I hear he's quite the tactician, which is just what we need in this already skilled side

**thischarmingman** · 25/03/2009, 1:52 PM

Coming together nicely down in Limerick. Excellent appointment.

Didn't get them to the Premier Division though, which was the point being corrected.

**Buller** · 25/03/2009, 2:34 PM

Scully has proven he can do great things with very little money. While his teams dont play the most attractive of football, they consistantly get the job done. He did wonders with Kilkenny, and indeed with us, on a tight budget.

I think its a great appointment by Limerick.

**Dodge** · 25/03/2009, 2:41 PM

Yeah, terrific move by Limerick. He's relatively high profile and has proven he can manage at the lower level with Kilkenny and Rovers

He'll rub a few people up the wrong way but I've no doubt Limerick will be better because of this appointment.

I'd expect Limerick to have a couple of lads on loan from sone of the Dublin premier clubs now too.
