I hear Schlingerman from Athlone could be off to Mons.

Of course that is the point, but the blinkers are on now a la fungus so don't mention it.

But if the contracts aren't substantial (which they're not if the figures I've heard are true), then LTID is right.

As for the comparisons with Fingal, I'd be fairly certain that EVERY Fingal player was earning more than Gamble and Behan are. The first division has a few players that are on good money (Andy Boyle for example was offered more at Shels than he was at Pats), and most promotion chasing teams seem to have 1/2 of the higher profile (read paid) players surrounded by locals/journeymen

Limerick no different from Cork, Shels, Monaghan or even Logford

Dodge there actually seems to know what he's talking about lads.

Take the blinkers off and have a read of what he is saying and what Pat O'Sullivan has been saying.

Otherwise in your desperation to turn good into bad you might end up doing stupid, just stupid, things like comparing Limerick FC to Sporting Fingal.

Just to clarify, Roddy has no bigger budget than Cooke did.

Players in bold are also A team players. Add into that the list of injuries and the squad isn't that big.

**outspoken** · 05/07/2011, 9:47 AM

Don't know if this was posted already but I read in the sun newspaper the other day that Graham Gartland has been told he can leave St.Johnstone and the two Rovers are now the favorites to get him.

We already have 4 centre halves. Doubt he'd wanna come here ahead of Shams.

Injured or not its still a big squad. Are they not still getting paid when injured or something?

Would think a lot of that squad would be on very little. If another few signings come in we could see a good few being released and I can see a lot of the younger players going back to just playing A team for the rest of the season.

Some of the squad could just be on a pay-per-play contract or the likes.
Say a very low basic wage with big bonus incentives like goals, appearances, clean sheets etc.

if there are 3/4 Pats players on no more than expenses, I'd imagine its the same in Limerick.

There's two possibilities really. Either you're looking at a Fingal/Shels/Bohs/Drogheda/Cork/Cork situation, or you're looking at a Pat's type situation where Kelleher gave Pat's loads of money, developed things but when he left (or stopped pumping in money; is he still involved?), they were able to revert quite easily back to what they had been before. If the latter is what Sullivan is doing at Limerick, then there's no problem really.

Anyways, back on topic, is Karl Moore just off to England on trials, or is there anyone in particular in for him? What happened to the Motherwell lead? He had a great game on Friday; must have had someone in the crowd watching!

**Charlie Darwin** · 05/07/2011, 1:06 PM

They said on MNS last night he was heavily linked with Motherwell. Not sure how up to date their sources are though.

Rumours linking him with Motherwell and Yeovil Town
