tommy is a good young player. is he good enough to start for pike or fairview, probably not (right now) when you consider he would be trying to dislodge maloney/boyle or doyle/kelliher....but he is young and is a good player
however would both teams sign him, the answer is yes !!
'You should never have a bad game, off the ball.......'
tommy most certainly is good enough.it was his first year in premier and found it tough going but improved imensely in the second half of season.he is a major loss to us this coming season but tommy wants to check out other areas and whether he settles or not their is nothing we can do but wish him the best even though i personaly think its the wrong option.
i dont agree to be honest, hes a handy player but i dont think hes a better striker then the top 3 or 4 sides have. maybe playing with st michaels for a year or two will help him improve but i think he should have stayed with kilmallock. maybe he didnt fancy another dogfight to stay up
spot on with all his mates and 3 brothers playing i thought he would have stayed.if we were relegated last season maybe you would be saying he didnt want to play in 1a and he should be playing in the top division.but believe me if he plays with pike,fairview or saint michaels he will do well as he knows from last season what the challenges are that face him now.
i watched him afew times and i didnt think he was great i couldnt see him getting on pike or ourselves he might be good enough for st micks and they are a poor side,you might have the answer too this ? why would he go all the way too tipp why not sign for a top limerick side.
the forms are out on the ninth of july boys.........
ive played and trained with tommy and theres no doubt he is a good young player.he is a bit on the light side and maybe that is why he had a quiet first year in premier.id agree with nearly all of what goals4fun said.i could see him signing for pike or fairview but i dont think he would start every week.he would be an excellent sub to bring on though and i do think he would get goals with a pike or fairview as they create alot of chances.wouldnt agree with most of the posts.he is young,give him another bit of time i say.i think tho that going to st micks is a strange move.can never understand why lads leave premier in limerick to go to tipp.limerick premier is one of the best leagues around imo.on any given day any team can lose to a team even near the bottom.either way tho best of luck to him.big loss for kilmallock
Hey guys....just thought id clarify all the speculation about mike carey.....
The injury has definately retired him......his words also not mine i met him just yesterday in town...he told me he'll also have a limp for a month or so after the cast comes off...... it was a full rupture of the achilles tendon just under the calf muscle.... the surgeon could not operate on him as it was too high up the leg to be repaired. he also said the surgeon put the injury down to overuse....that Carew had played Tuesday,Thursday,Sunday for 3 consecutive weeks didnt help his cause........ he's currently still in the cast and will be for the next few weeks.... its already been 2 months on..... he told me that the surgeon said he could go back playing but it probably wouldnt be till sep 2010 before he could try put the same pressure on it pre injury. i.e full impact... it takes 8 to 12 months to recover fully if even at all and supposedly the re rupture rate of the injury is very high... i played most of my schoolboy soccer with him and he's gutted it has come to an injury like this to finish him but has said that at the age of 34 family comes first above all so you cant really blame him...... he will be training Carew Park this season coming ........
Also before i forget........He also said to say thankyou to everyone on this site over the past few months that has asked about him for him as he reads the posts every so often.....
