I think Fairview are just going to play them and fight any ban after that

i would be shocked if he did, although he is a very good coach id be surprised if he left fairview as he still would deem fairview to be a job half done

Janesboro won the league under Connell. John White, Alan Barry and from what I have heard Mike Curley will strengthen the View after loosing some very good players. Why is John White and Alan Barry going back playing junior football?

**inexile** · 21/01/2005, 3:30 PM

i suppose john whyte is at the top of the hill on the way down and he doesnt feel he can cut it at that level,whereas we know alan barry cant

**lim abroad** · 22/01/2005, 3:15 AM

anybody out there fancy pike for the fai?? i'vebeen impressed with them on occasions this season and considering that many of the big guns are out i seriously fancy them along with balla if both can keep their discipline.looks like fairview are in trouble at the moment,anyone any info?

Yeah Mike O'Malley from Newmarket has transferred to Fairview.

He is a decent player and was the main man in Clare's Oscar Traynor win last year along with Martin O'Neill (now with Pike). Surprised he moved from Newmarket though as he has always been loyal to them....apart from when he played for Park Rangers for 6 months I suppose.
He works with Davy Wall in Shannon so I presume thats the contact that got him in there.
Central midfield is about his only position though and I doubt he will get in ahead og Purcell and Gaga...

**clownboy** · 24/01/2005, 12:56 PM

He might as Purcell is playing Full back now ...He will be brought in to replace Barrett who was playing centre field although John whyte is signing also along with Alan Barry.

I agree with you 100%. There are only 3 trophies worth winning FAI - MJC and the League.

You are not far wrong there poacher, the LDMC have strangled Limerick football, narrow minded petty men in their cheap blazers. Football in this city could be very very good but it lacks any forward thinking. You will never get that with the "living dead" but there is an up side, we will outlive them. They should be given a few happy pills and put out to pasture, as for that Oscar Traynor Manager, he will have to meet his maker some day, while he's there he can always ask him why he made him such a short c--t and why his head is so disproportionate to his body. Saying that he would probably bull**** his way in the gate as his done with every club he's been.

Its good to see so many limerick teams in with a chance and to be honest if I was to back one I would go for Pike this year. Balla can beat anyone on their day but lack discipline, Park are going well and will prove difficult to beat, Carew have the talent but lack the organisation. Saying that anything can happen in cup football, as long as it stays in Limerick I don't mind who wins it. If you win it you deserve it.

**barryk** · 28/01/2005, 8:02 AM

Can anyone tell me if Kevin McCarthy of Fairview ever played League of Ireland

**CousinSylDolan** · 31/01/2005, 7:32 AM

A lot of lg games were played yesterday.

I know Park Rangers drew 1-1 with Charleville.... Charleville led 1-0 in the 1st half but Park equlaised thru Declan Adams. He was then taken down for a penalty but Shane O'Connor missed. Park were supposedly on top for the 2nd half but could not break thru....
I hear there were wins for Pike, Balla, Boro and Carew too. Anyone more details on these and a look at the table please????????

Don't remember saying that the Boro would do damage if they stayed in the competition? Anyway they were knocked out by Park and therefore Park deserve to be where they are in the competition. All Limerick teams deserve to be where they are. I think the draw has been kind to Park so far but they are there on merit and best of luck to them.

I would like to see any of the Limerick Teams win the competition. As for Janesboro winning the MJC I am not sure? Players have left the squad since Janesboro went out of the FAI which has left the side weakened. I think it will be a slow building process with the Boro.

Heard that Granville's objection was refused. That's three objections against Waterford C turned down now.

**whitestripe** · 31/01/2005, 2:43 PM

What happened that there were so many objections?

**whitestripe** · 01/02/2005, 8:33 AM

Brian Lawlor by all accounts just does not want to play football this year. Dave Maloney stopped playing and has packed on the pounds.
Mike Aherne left to join Limerick FC before the **** hit the fan last year.
Kevin Fitz was kicked out of the club for no reason given - and could now win an FAI with Pike.
Paul O'Donnel left because he would not play under Finnan.

Thats why Janesboro are where they are in the league

The signed a player from Kilkenny City - he only played U-21 with them. Beaten clubs objected saying that he was not registered in time. There were rumours that each objection up to the Granville one failed on technicalities e.g. a cheque instead of a draft accompanying the objection etc.

Its all put to bed anyway at this stage.
