On Sunday's evidence Fahey looks a lazy type of player. I am sure he can do better, but I think he did not get a contract from 3rd division Sheffield Utd last season.
The comments from some Pats fans in relation to what Roddy said, does not help in any way in reaching a plan to improve the Loi and attendances.
Years ago lived close to Crewe Alex's ground for few years; 3rd and 4th division soccer, players I remember well are Rob Jones, Craig Higgnet, N Lennon, Dale Jasper and A Callaghan. Difficult to compare teams from over 20 years apart, but I would say the Pats team this season are not better than Crewe then.
Yet Tommy Gaynor and certain Roy Keane were doing well at a big English club at the time, so good players are always in the league.
Kevin Hunt couldn't get a contract at a 4th Division club was another point made.
Ah leave it out. Fahey didn't get a contract from Sheffield United because he was still well short of fitness. He didn't look in the least bit lazy in the cup final - he was always the most available passing option on the pitch and he was central to much of the good play on the day.

Keith Fahey also said he could play in league two with his eyes closed
Aw thanks.it all boils down to the fai not doing enough in this country for the loi.it doesnt promote it enough and then bloody john delaney's big salary(cause his worth it?)you also have guys in this country who cant stand the english but follow their football teams and wouldnt cross the road to watch a loi game.i know the standards are different but support our own game and it will get bigger.i have been following limerick since the rathbane days and i just hope that moving to the markets field will give the attendance figures a boost.allthough from what i am hearing with team for next year its a little worrying.
If John Still was judging the whole LoI on one game between the 3rd best team in the league and the 8th in a cup final then he shouldn't be a manager of an under 8 team nevermind a team in Football League Two! Last years final was one of the best games I've seen in a long time but I wouldn't say that proved that LoI is as good as the Championship and we have bags of talent for the national team's coach to call upon between Sligo and Drogheda!
People in this country just love to kick the LoI around for no reason. We all know the standard isn't great but that doesn't mean people shouldn't follow their own league.
I think you'll find that the people who "kick" the LOI Ireland are nearly always the people who haven't seen a game for a long time, if ever.

Point well made White Horse. It was indeed a poor game, not reflective of what I think you see week in week out in the LOI, Below par performances from some individuals.
Ross Gaynor has signed a deal for 2015 with Cork City. Confirmed on the official website about an hour ago.
Gartland and Byrne return for Dundalk.

Great news, excellent player.
Gaynor was a huge player for us in the 2nd half of last season, glad he's signed back.
Good for Gaynor, decent player and seems to have really settled into that left full role.
From our side it now appears Cherrie will definitely not be offered a deal for 2015, if this is right he will leave on a high having made a tremendous contribution after 5 and half years.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
I thought Cherrie was planning to retire, but he's on the PFAI list. Then again, so is Ross Gaynor and Brian Gartland.
Lot of talk on social media that Fahey is indeed Rovers bound.
Some mad numbers being thrown around about Fahey too. Surely rubbish.
Some crazy numbers alright. It's like the mid-noughties all over again!
Nobody knows what's actually going on. Fahey doesn't go around shooting his mouth off about where he's going. There's an absolute rake of bull**** merchants going around spreading stories.
Well it is the silly season
snafu
Gavan Holohan (Drogheda) has signed for Cork City.
