To be fair to AOB he said when he posted the preview on Facebook that he was open to correction. Also, in fairness to him, one of the main issues I had with his stuff over the years was that he didn't have enough local knowledge and was only posting about matches in isolation but you couldn't criticise him for that now. He's clearly done his homework.
Great read from AOB,lot of work gone into that piece.
Ya in fairness to Alan he has said he is open to correction. It seems he has rang the clubs and mangers for information on signings etc... he probably actually knows a lot more about movements than people hearing through friends of friends or the guy down the pub. He has to trust the information the clubs have given him.
Heard on the radio this morning Fairview have brought in Paudie Quinn (ex-Limerick and Waterford).
I reckon Fairview, Pike, Janesboro, Carew and Geraldines will all be very close to each other at the top.
Balla and Regional to be mid table.
Moyross, Summerville, Mungret, Aisling and Wembley to fight it out at the bottom half.
Appreciate the support lads, but don't pay any heed to people like that. I don't. There's constructive criticism out there too though - which I've listened to and learned from.
Paudie Quinn would be a fantastic signing. Stuck out like a sore thumb in the Kerry DL team that played Limerick in the OT last season. Be bad news for Eoin Roche though. They'd both be competing for the same position off the frontman.
I'll get that one confirmed/denied tomorrow when I cover the Carew/Fairview game - which incidentally features the same two managers as the game I covered on the opening day last season!
Carew Park 1-1 Fairview Rangers (McGrath 13′; Scanlon 20′)
Good game, as opening day fixtures go. Positive signs for 'View here based on their first half performance, but credit to Carew for digging in in the second.
Awful quiet thread lads!! Any other prem results please guys??
Pat Sheehan, of the Leader, posts the results on his website here: http://www.limerickjuniorsoccer.com/2014-15-results
No shocks on the first weekend. Regional's away win in in Shelbourne Park is probably the most impressive result on the list, relative to expectations.
Thanks Alan. Very impressive result by jsnesboro, the team to beat again in my view!
Tough first game for us last sunday.We put it up to Geraldines in the 1st half and had 2 half chances.They themselves had only one which they scored and which you would expect them to do at premier level.2nd half we lacked energy and fitness and geraldines took full advantage of this but we will work on this and hopefully improve.Long season ahead.Best of luck to geraldines for the season and for the future.Putting together a nice setup below in Garryowen.
I thought Garbhan Coughlan was supposed to be head and shoulders above everyone in the league? 1 goal in 2 games against hardly top class opposition?
I know there was a lot of hype around the Coughlan signing, but I don't think anyone was going that far!
Think you're being a bit premature in your criticism too, to say the least. First of all, both Ballynanty and Geraldines are top half sides. Secondly, although he's been very wasteful in his first two games - missing a penalty in the first and passing up five or six presentable chances in the second - you could also take the view that a higher percentage of these chances will be taken when he acquires a greater level of match sharpness.
Put it this way - I doubt many players in the league had at least eight clear cut scoring opportunities in the opening 180 minutes of action.
A lot of players would miss 7 of those 8... He's meant to be better than that
Sure, time will tell! I'm sure the lad himself knows he's better than that. We'll see how things look in a couple of weeks time when we reach the quarter-way point.
Any results lads? Can some one post them after games please.. I find it difficult to make games at moment with work family etc... Thanks
