Are you serious Tedd look at all the work Geraldines put in to their 16s squad last year hoping they would be the juniors of the future and where are they all gone now.

southern kid, pa has been doing the same for a long time and a lot of others players the same too for the first few weeks of the season playing gaa first and there is notting wrong with there commitment to pike or anyone else..speaking from my point of view we got 3 lads on the munster youth team..3 with thomond..2 17s players with munster too.. there just as good at football.. rugby is there first choice but when they can they'll turn up and sweat blood for you just like mac garry mullins and boris to name a few. just thing your being a bit hard on GAA players..

I dont think there is a manager or squad put together, after last year i think there could be a new manager Aidan Ryan did hes best but fell a bit short in the two final, when does the OT kick off.

possible...all i am saying is i think he could have handled the situation much better.
(as i said in original post)

When he didn't see any new signings coming in maybe he thought it was time for change?

I dont know where there gone blueboy to be honest so you might enlighten us.I know alot of players are leaving there respective clubs to join pike,boro but they cant all play regularly?my point was that in the premier league at the moment balla,kilmallock,corbally,wembley,carew pk are mostly made up by local players from there area of the town and who have played with them for a while.If these clubs can keep what they have and add one or two lads over the next season or two then why cant they at least make games v pike,fairview,boro etc competitive?

look,it looks like he is gone now and good luck to him....
i think fairview will get some new lads in,in the not too distant future.
on another topic,does anyone know why wembley and fairview are playing tuesday night next week??
all other fixtures are on thursday .
seems a bit harsh on both clubs to fulfill 3 fixtures in 6 days

on the sideline issue is it not the responsibilty of the home team to manage these issues i know it is nearly impossible to control people coming to games ?? do the league have any rules on this were do club stand if referee abandons game due to abuse by somebody watching game with no ties to either club but hapens to be standing with or beside supporters on the line. !!!!

ya hes a good player alright, 1 of 8 players to leave a nenagh club to player in a stronger league, 4 gone to aisling u-19s 2 to clonmel 1 to boro and 1 to athlone its great to see lads having a crack at better standards, do you know when boro and pike are playing might go to that 1
