would I be right in saying that we have 2 players coming in i.e Guthrie & Bradley and 9 players going out i.e Yellow, Judge, White, Breen, Hynes, O'Flynn, Frost, Broughall, McCarthy... if so that leaves us fairly thin on the ground when you take our injury record into consideration????
I wouldn't think so. A lot of the injuries were collision injuries weren't they?Originally Posted by donnrua
Gary - broken leg
Stevo - broken knee
Calla - (not too sure what the injury was but it happened in contact too)
Shane Tracy was his knee in a collision
I know Shaun maher tore his calf but other than that I can't think of any muscle injuries? Anyone from the club shed any light?
Only person I'd get worried about is Denis. Could be a nightmare of he gets injured.
I suppose you could look at it this way:
McCarthy - Guthrie.
Judge - Bradley.
Frost - yet to be replaced in my opinion.
Hynes - I'd count Gaffney here as he only came for the second half of last season and seemed to take Hynes place.
Broughall - Shaun Kelly for the same reasons as Gaffney.
Yellow - Sadly didn't see much game time last season so doesn't really count as a loss from last seasons first team.
White - With Calla out for pretty much the whole of last season it feels like he could be slotting in for Peter White if he re-signs.
Breen - Didn't see much first team either so similar to Yellow but Brosnan would be taking up his spot.
O'Flynn - Only played about 6 or 7 games last season so not really a lost from the regular first team.
In pre-season Sheedy and McGann seem to be getting a good bit of game time so they must be in the plans for the first team next season. Cian Collins is on the verge of the first team also. We have decent enough cover from the younger players I feel. One more defender (LB) and possibly another Winger/Striker and I think we are flying it.
On the way from what i hear.
Rumour has it that Kerry native and current Cork City player Derek O'Brien could be on the way to yourselves, any word on this?
Heard that ages ago but thought it wouldnt be happening now as we have signed others....Id be very happy with that signing would be very good back up,.
seriously though the squad looks very thin, I know people are going to bring up the fact that a few of the 19's are bangin on the door but in all fairness a few injuries and a couple of suspensions and we wont be able to fill the bench
If you had to chose between him and two boys from CSKA Moscow though??

CLip of polish striker
I can safely say i did not see that coming.If you had to chose between him and two boys from CSKA Moscow though??
Has signed for Monaghan as a player/coach.
Heard from a reliable source that Kerry native and current Cork City player Derek O'Brien is signing for Limerick today
EXcellent stuff very good player get the two lads from cska and a left full and were sorted.
current? former, his contract ran out with us in November
Heard he signed today came on as sub in friendly came off injured after about 5 mins.
only lasted 5 or 10 minutes. derek does not have much luck with injuries but in fairness the pitch today was very heavy in bishopstown so that may have played a part in the injury. limerick impressed me today very solid down the middle. center halfs solid, bradley and gamble great partnership and behan and paidi quinn worked well up top. goalkeeper was abit eratic in 1st half and your full backs didnt offer much going forward but other than that ye played well. should walk division 1 this season
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
ANY idea what the injury was?
Been told he just felt a bit of tightness nothing serious....Only trained twice so far for pre season i think so will take time to get fit.
Any score or line up from the game?
