How many times have you seen Conor Kavanagh play pal?Originally Posted by Killerballs
Also of the above Limerick based players now signed with Athlone (and there will be more), how many of them would Limerick FC like on their books at the moment (honestly)???
68, 99, 08

Of course it matters that there's local lads playing with Limerick, that's an apalling observation.
It matters that they are successful that is all that matters so they should sign players that are not good enough because they are local?
And please dont use the you wont get support with no locals excuse cos we dont get it with em either.
And abbeyfeale only 2 would be good enough for the squad only one good enough to start.
I don't think it's about the supporters, it's about good young players who might aspire to play for Limerick seeing a squad of Dubs or Nordies or whatever and thinking they haven't a chance. It's too short term to say we'll take the best and brightest and not giveca local a shot. If/when the money runs out and/or you can't attract the big players, what will you be left with?
you are 100% right treaty a limerick team with no locals what a joke..I agree that some of the locals dont want to play but having none at all and thats the way its heading is not the answer..
But Limerick played with majority of local players for a good few years and it was getting the club no where. All we where listening to was that most the players signed wouldn't get near most premier teams in Limerick. The best players weren't interested in signing for Limerick so why hang around and wait for them to. The club is getting in a lot of young Limerick lads for the U19 and A team and anyone good enough will make the step up. Brosnan is now getting a few games and Sheedy is on the bench even though he hasn't got a run yet. The opportunities are there if you are good enough. Limerick are also trying to put in u17 and Minor teams but are being denied and have an Academy setup for the younger kids again. This is hopefully where the players will come through and want to play for Limerick.
For years the top junior players haven't been interested in playing for Limerick and at the moment this hasn't changed. Jeffrey Judge, Shane Tracey, Gary Sheehan, Denis Behan, Sean Brosnan, Barry Sheedy, Garbhan Coughlan, Pat Purcell(even though I think Pat is originally a dub ha) and Thomas Lyons (who is supposedly injured)are all in or around the first team. Thats 9 players around the first team alone. David Donnan and Lavin are also said to be near making the step up from the A team too.
Getting Premier football back for the return to the Markets Field is what is most important now.
That's a fair point jofspring, and I agree totally. The main point of my argument is that development of local players is as important as making a fist of it with the new stadium. The club seems to be putting measures in place for this, but BWA's point to me is madness. Success is important, but not if you alienate local fans by neglecting local players.
Rumours out in kilmallock, that Pa Byrnes is the new Carew Park manager.????
Their not rumours their true,isint that right Tom,what happened Albert,that was shortest managerial post of all time.
shane tracey captained for arsenal youths for a few games and hes back at limerick and hes not that special is he?? All these young fellas with big reps when their young fellas and they get nowhere.
Mick Ahern is the new asisstant manager of fairview .
kavanagh average,are u mad,i agree he prob wouldnt fit in with limericks style of play because they keep bypassing midfield he would have a pain in his neck from looking at the ball in the air,
Hi guys I'm new to the forum just a comment in relation to johnny Connery at st michaels the word on the street is that he is leaving for pike because he got a crazy finacial offer which he couldn't turn down and to be fair he also knew saints would never go down that road so if true good luck to him, also the word out here is fairview are looking / talking to the clonmel town goalkeeper anyone know anything about this
What do the carew players think of their new manager, has any one heard anything.???
Any thoughts from the carew park boys on foot.??
is that mick playing with pike if so he do a good job:
yep thats him,top bloke but feels his legs are,nt upto another year premier.
shane played with arsenal for two years trained and played with the likes of fabregas cliche to name a few has a host of international underage and youth caps along with conor who spent two seasons with Blackburn and has numerous international caps both of them are under 22 years of age and people say they are going nowhere.. very disrespect to two young lads who have already achieved a lot in the game.. and two nice lads aswell..
I see Brian Collopy is on the bench tonight for Athlone, thats another Limerick player.

The fairview management team for the coming season is the exact same as last season so stop talking rubbish.
