Limerick Desmond League 2009/10

Its been like that for years.your dead right there..you could lose an important game cos of players missing over the gaa but the following week you could prob beat the next team 5 or 6 nil.

Heard for a very good source that daniel power is coming back to newcastle west afc cos he is not settling inside wit fairview rangers

its actually ridiculous how much of an effect gaa has on some clubs.the gaa have no consideration for the outcome of the local soccer club,and would never change a fixture to help the other code-but the soccer always suffers anyway.players are warned not to play soccer even if game is few days before gaa match so if your team is relying on 3 or 4 players who play both it can mess team up.i know,it happens all the time in my club and its going to affect us for another few weeks it looks like!

**hot shot** · 02/09/2009, 8:54 PM

daniel power should give it a few months at the very least.two weeks into a season is no time to judge a team,club or league. a season in town would bring him on as player and then he could bring experience with him,whether its back to ncw,lisselton or even shannonside he joins!!!

You will see more teams trying to sign non gaa players in the future in this league.
Daniel should probably stay for the season, once he gets use to the lads and the system in town he will adapt much better. Having said that all the lads that go to town from the desmond league would be a welcome addition back, Daniel, Mark, Tossy, keith hartnett, declan nash colm enright etc... they would seriously increase the standard of the league
If players came the other way(from town) it would be interesting, but they probably wouldn't put up with what happens (gaa) at the start and end of the league. Dont get me wrong I played gaa myself for years and still love it.

i dont see many players (of good quality) leaving their clubs in town to come out to the desmond league to be honest.maybe things will change in the coming years but there's big gap in the overall standard in both leagues.thats not to say some of the top teams in desmond lge couldn't take on and beat some of the top teams from town,on their day.
those few players mentioned are big loss to their clubs and to the league too-

**Hairy Legs** · 03/09/2009, 11:58 AM

Absolutly, ray lynch, anthony russell would all heighten the profile of the league. I also think that 10 teams is too little, like town 12 would be better. Sometimes the desmond league is over before christmas. Teams who are safe and not involved in anything come april or may dont even bother finishing strong in the league to the detrement of teams chasing something in the league.......they can be all guilty of this

**hot shot** · 03/09/2009, 3:00 PM

i dont see league being anywhere near over by christmas this year,i actually cant even predict who will win it,but i feel ncw have had their time and that the teams closest to them know this and will be capable of beating them this year. id even tip askeaton to get a point at home to them this sunday,maybe more!! can see most teams taking points off one another and hopefully it will be an exciting finish to the league next may.

**Hairy Legs** · 03/09/2009, 3:35 PM

Ye, I totally agree with you on that, this year will be very close thankfully, but if your club were chasing askeaton for the title in may, just say, and they had to play a very decent team who were mid table and out of all cups, you wouldn't hold your breath on the result going your way!!!
All i am saying is that if every team made it their business to fight until the end, despite their league position, it would make for a great season, not just those involved in the run in. e.g .. You dont mind playing Broadford at the start of the season, when gaa is on, but would hate to meet them around christmas........it shouldn't be a jekel and hyde situation.

I agree with you he is very strange and if he isnt happy move on dont need lads like that around the place we arent ncw.

**buddygeary23** · 03/09/2009, 9:04 PM

In what way is he strange?

how can you decide someone is strange when you only met the man 2/3 weeks ago-when you would meet him it would be for training/matches,and its only for hour and a half or so. your hardly speaking with him for every minute when ye do play,so that hardly gives you a good standing to accuse a fella of being 'strange'.you will probably come back and say its your opinion but its not a very well founded one-

Jesus what an incentive to give the guy to stay put - i see nothing strange about him so stop talking crap as usual.

**buddygeary23** · 04/09/2009, 12:57 PM

Daniel power is no more strange than the man on the moon.iv played soccer with him all my life and he is one of the nicest fellas.ye only know him about 3 weeks and met him about 10 times altogether.he is dedicated to playing soccer and would walk into the starting 11 on any team in this country.why judge someone that you dont even know

**Hairy Legs** · 04/09/2009, 1:21 PM

Lads,
Any views on the oscar traynor this year, players etc..., should be some decent players to choose from.

**hot shot** · 04/09/2009, 10:18 PM

aodhagan behan is over the team this year.(shannonside manager)
well all the players who have left the league were big players for the oscar team.will be difficult to see any team put together going anywhere as near as team that won it in 2008-

**buddygeary23** · 05/09/2009, 1:04 PM

i cant see the oscar traynor team being anywhere near the team that won it back in 2008...most of the team that year are gone to city teams...whoever he picks wont be as strong as last one..hopefully who evers picked willl do well
