Craig curran seems to have been very very impressive at Chester, I wonder would that be equilivant to First Division here?? Even if it is he was still a bit of a sensation in Chester and I suppose he played most of his career in League One, still hopefully we bring in some quality soon
i havnt judged any of them all i said is im not convinced at the moment and the club wer more organised past two seasons than they are now and i dont need a history lesson regarding foley and gamble but at the time they wer marquee signings and a huge statement of intent and i would love to see at least one more marquee signing to give everyone a lift considering how long the wait to get here and you would have to agree we look very shaky as it stands squad wise.. i hope these new lads turn out to be a huge success but its going to take time to gel as a team and time is running out before the cork game and its vital we start well..
According to the radio they were saying if the rumours of what there hearing is true the other players were signing from the UK are better again
i have no reason to be worried none watsoever done well today against a munster senior league side... wake up lads and smell the coffee we are in trouble.. im hoping and praying that this comment will be used after 5-8 weeks of the season and i will gladly eat humble pie.. as a fan i am genuinely worried!!
If youve been following Limerick as long as I have you'd know not to get your hopes up and only belive it when you see it.
How can anyone say we arent under prepared with less than 3 weeks to a very tough home game against Cork City, I really hope our first game back in the Premier isn't an embarrasment cause if it is we'll find it very difficult to get people back
Just seen the lineup there and in fairness it was another mix of under 19's and senior players. It would be nice to get a few results in pre-season but I still wouldn't be too worried. Until I see how a full team gets on with a proper bench I won't be judging the team too much. Bluewhitearmy was at the match in Waterford and said despite the result the performance was actually decent enough.

Any chance you could post the line up and bench man?
Ryan, Costelloe, O Donnell, McGrath, Purcell, O Callaghan, O Leary, Gaffney, Sheedy, Treacy. Subs Used: Folan, McGann, Rainsford
Cheers.
The worrying thing about this pre-season for me is not the results because at the end of the day results matter very little it's the fact I don't think we've once been close to full strength for any of the games yet which is even more worrying when we've got a new manger in which the lads who were at the club for the past season or two will have to get used to his playing style which because we haven't been at full strength for whatever reason(s) so far hasn't happend yet. (Saying this to be fair without having been at any of the matches) and with the season so close to starting it's becoming more and more of a worry.
I think in the long run we'll be grand, but I do think we can expect a slowish start in the league but hopefully that will be all, not going to start panicking just yet, and IMO it would be foolish to even think about getting doom and gloom about this season
Ryan, Costelloe*, Purcell*, Calla ,O'Donnell*,Coughlan*,McGrath*,O'Leary,Tracy,Sheed y*,Gaffney.
Thats the starting team today the lads with * next to them are lads that will more then likely not be playing come the first game of the season that is 6 out of 11 so again its hardly that much of a guide as to how we will be at the start of the season is it?
We have played a few games and not played well fine yes ill agree and yes ill agree with Sea Bird that we need to have the squad sorted sooner rather then later but the results mean nothing in these games Taylor is brand new to Limerick so has been using these games so far to get a look at as many people as he possibly can which is surely a good thing a lot of lads from the 19s have been getting a chance to show their worth which is what the club wanted for young lads to be given a chance. He now knows which lads he feels are worth keeping around the first team and has a proper idea of what areas he needs to sign people for how would he have known this if he didnt try things out in these games. We have got some in now and more coming we will have close to a finished squad before the Wexford game this Wednesday if what i'm told is true which leaves us with another 4 or 5 Friendlies to play our strongest team and get the team to gel.
One good signing to come very soon.

Care to enlighten us who the very good signing is?

Top signing and a lovely fella.
Must admit i know nothing about him but sounds very promising. 2yr deal aswell excellent stuff.
Played over 20 games in the SPL last season very good winger. Had other SPL clubs and a few League One teams after him too.
Article is nearly 5 months old.
im not knocking the lad if he stays fit which he seems to of had a bad run of luck he will be a fantastic signing no doubt great stuff limerick.
Anyone take a guess or know how many more will come in?
Ya him staying fit is the biggest worry but hopefully this is a fresh start for him, just like folan.
I'd say maybe two more signings at least.
