whats with Athlone fleecing all of Limericks Junior soccer players, if they didnt cut it at Limerick then their not good enough for LOI in my opinion.
alan is useless anyway,very overrated player

agreed,mike kerley good manager and from limerick is whats bringing all them up there
Its because Mike Kerley is up there and junior Limerick soccer is the main thing he knows about. Not sure how the Athlone fans feel about this really because he is overlooking a lot of local talent for Limerick talent in a season where he could probably give a lot of players a taste of LOI. It's a strange one really because Athlone are well out of the race for promotion and are out of all the cups so there is nothing really to play for up there.
He seems to be signing pretty much the Limerick team from a few years ago. Wouldn't surprise me to see a few more lads heading up there.
That's every season by the way,best striker in town last few years by a country mile,and still is.
Anyone that thinks Alan Barry is not the best striker in town is mad. FOr years he has been the best nearly 50 goals last season IMO top 3 strikers of all time in LimeRick you can't argue with that facts.
including the players who signed for athlone at the start of the league of ireland season how many players from limerick have now signed for athlone?id be thinking about 10?will all these players have to travel to athlone for training?talk going around of training sessions happening in limerick and with the 2 managers being limerick men also it wouldnt surprise me
Paul Danagher
Tommy Barrett
Brendan Daly
Jason Hughes
Darren Young
Gary Higgins
Conor Kavanagh
Wayne Colbert
Bobby Tier
Dave Ryan
With the exception of Tommy Barrett I would think all those players would still train in Limerick. Last season Longford had a majority squad of Dublin players and they trained in Dublin and only travelled to Longford for matches. Wouldn't be the first time either.
they finished most of their games with 5-7 17 year olds on the pitch that isn't fair on kids to be thrown in like that at the deep end he has succeded in blooding young athlone talent and looks like he has succeded in keeping a club that was on it's knees up with a tiny budget.. as for the Limerick lads up there well scully doesn't want them for one reason or the other..how many Limerick lads making the Limerick squad?? will be lucky if ther is one local in the starting 11 soon enough..
point taken monster well said.
