Mr Gael on the offence can mean only one thing..................big news!
ya Duggan is a better central midfielder than all four from what ive seen ..aggressive in the tackle and passes the ball very well.good to get a goal too
Who was he playing against?
Duggan is absolute quality. Should have played a lot more for us this year.
Good tackler and passer, makes great forward runs and scores goals too.
Easily good enough for top 5 team in the premier.
*pushes a saucer of milk over to gael*
We have moved more to local players over the past season too you will find but considering we have a much smaller population it is not always possible to find enough quality players without going to Dublin. As for paying him more I said I was open for correction on that as I was just going on what I have heard about your budget for the year and ours, simple maths.
As for playing in front of bigger crowds, you are right, that may be an attraction, playing for Scully may also be one and the fact that Limerick seem to be getting things together too, I just dont think he would make a sideways move like that when he was happy here.
As for him not being great, check out the goalscorer league for the first division this year.
As long as we are bothering the teams you mentioned and keeping on the heels of the top 2/3 I will be happy and so should you, last season you were close to catching us and Wexford but it didnt happen so you should be happy if you are bothering us all next year too.
In short i dont think he makes much a differance to any team, hes simply not good enough for any first division side chasing promotion imo.
sideways is a good term although i wouldnt say our crowds were too hot this year and im by no way slagging yer crowds, what i find hard to take when we;e in monaghan is the small crowd, yet there would be maybe 100 ppl playing 5 a side and not one of them would come and watch the game even when their done
meh, average we had stevo getting tons after only 12 or so games so ill rate him against himAs for him not being great, check out the goalscorer league for the first division this year.
sligo bohs and Pats
Didnt say he was better than O'Flynn but was countering the fact that you thought he was useless. His goal tally would prove otherwise me thinks.
As for not being good enough for a First Division team chasing promotion, tell that to the Premier league teams who have been chasing his signature.
Totally agree about the crowds thing but there would only be about 70 people playing on the Astros during matches. Its like the Limerick problem with Junior clubs, we have a similar job to do in building bridges which we are working on. The new Astro is helping alot in that regard as we are not stinging them price wise and are very agreeable to times and dates they request as far as possible.
shane never played for wembley
does he have to be better than all 4 for us to have any interest in signing him. hughes is top notch but had a poor season. i think he would def walk into our midfield. I could never see yellow or colbert tracy on the fringes of the cork team which duggan was. according to a few cork supporters i know they were impressed with him and taught he should have played more. anyhow surely with injuries/suspensions it would be a good addition to the squad. I cant see any negatives. contact should have already been made with the player to see if he is interested.
in short yes he does. we want to challenge for promotion this comming season and if hes only signing for the sake of signing then whats the point.
i think with so many players in the market i think it would be in the players interest to contact the club like so many others have allready.

i thought we had ambitions of promotion every season and surely the manager will know what players he wants in the squad for the next campaign and chase those players accordingly.not the other way around.
Agreed. If Scully wants the best players Limerick FC can afford that will help push for promotion he is not going to sit around waiting for them to come to him.i thought we had ambitions of promotion every season and surely the manager will know what players he wants in the squad for the next campaign and chase those players accordingly.not the other way around.
Fair enough, as good a yard stick as they come.
Well as i said in my original post i think he is easily better than the 4 mentioned. He would improve us hugely.
Well if thats the case we will have a smashing squad for next year. if we we are in the position where we do not need to approach players (they have to come to us). looking forward to the new season and optimistic of a promotion push.

as you should be, as i am. 95% of all contracted players from all clubs are now out of contract, why should limerick or any club go chasing players? Limerick although not a rich club pay all their players for every week of the season, other clubs do not and if your a player relying on the few quid to pay college fees/mortgage/loans etc who would you wanna sign for? Galway? Cork? or limerick
Duggan is a class player prem standard so he is definitely good enough fr us.
Dont agree at all players should have to come to us we should be out looking for the best available(realistic) players from that 95%.
Galway or Cork naturally.
Any proof of the rubbish posted above BTW? http://foot.ie/forums/misc.php?do=showrules#rumours
We cut our cloth accordingly at the start of the season and paid our players on time, you teapot.
roddy collins you're a flanker you're a flanker!
Cut your cloth accordingly but couldn't afford a place to train?
