100 goals....was he playing for an A and B team....thats a strange choice for a manager to make...

when does the ocsar traynor comp start

Noonan is a keeper and was in goals for Hill Celtic "A" team last season in the Prem League, and let in approx 70 goals in the league plus numerous others in the cups.

Mike Behan is a centre forward for Regional and is approx 6ft 6in and good in the air.

Looks like Redden is naming a squad that, while good, is not the best in town. He has looked after his own but at least he knows they will have to turn up.

Noonan is a strange choice but there is no really decent keeper in town. Fitzpatrick and Bennis are better but are prone to the odd gift.

Oscar traynor should be about the medal but down through the years players from the Pike's and Fairviews of this world have just not turned up / being injured / had work / mothers cousins stepfathers cat died.

Lets also not forget that Redden is looking back at his personal playing experience. One where they went to Cork and named 8 players in the starting 11 from either the Boro or View who had played each other in an FAI game the previous week and would not pass the ball TO EACH OTHER. I bet the likes of Tynan, Beehan, Noonan and Doherty will see this cup as the biggest they will play this year, will the rest think the same?

Any one know how they got on tonight against St Mics and who played / turned up.

Surprise surprise, no Pike players could make it.

Must be the first time that all players that played were actually named in the panal when it was first announced. A good sign.

**silvercircle** · 30/09/2005, 12:54 PM

The only surprise is that only 2 Pike players were picked (3 if u want to include McGarry)

**widow** · 30/09/2005, 2:47 PM

don't think you'd call mcgarry a pike player think the phrase is... more clubs than tiger woods......

**water boy** · 06/10/2005, 8:04 AM

surely somebody must know this. I heard it was done alright.
have the team met again since their friendly against Michaels or will they wait for the first game to get together again ?

**HuRya** · 10/10/2005, 3:48 PM

dont think its been made yet.if it was it wud surely have been in the Leader over da past few wks..such an easy squad to predict..wheres the youth in the team???
there are a dozen players that i could name from clubs such as corbally, granville, ul/aisling,regional & wembley that should be given a fair chance.

**lim abroad** · 10/10/2005, 3:50 PM

which players do you think deserve a chance?

**HuRya** · 10/10/2005, 4:16 PM

**lim abroad** · 10/10/2005, 6:36 PM

you can hardly 'judge' him on that one performace

besides, i heard glaseen in goals for boro that day had the proverbial 'mare and was at fault for three of the four granville goals.

Whats the fasination with Ado Fitzsimons? Good player and all but never finishes a full 90 cos he usually gets sent off. Twitch is overweight, Paul Dannagher?? is he going back to junior?

would be interesting to see an alternate squad ! Maybe that would be a good idea for a friendly (kinda look at others)
there are loads of good players in limerick that never get a look in. At least this year it is spread around a bit.

**widow** · 11/10/2005, 10:28 AM

the problem lies with the manager, he's the manager of a team. How can he get around to other games on a sunday and see whose playing well and in what positions. he'll just pick players on name and who he knows, hence the squad being dominated by carew park players. Don't know how many people went for the position but its a joke that a manager of another team got it

It was reported that Denis Keehen was his assistant (ex Balla keeper). Surley he should be the one to have a look and see the other games going on. Has anyone seen him at games? In fairness to Redden, in years past the panel first picked would seen half of them withdraw. (he actually fielded a full team in a friendly from his first panel, unheard of) This had been due to the success of Limerick clubs in the FAI. There has been many a great player who never got to play out of town due to the fact that only the winner of the local FAI comp being in the open draw. They saw the Oscar Traynor as there way of makeing a mark on the big stage. Now (with 4 out of town) clubs are doing well and playing in the final stages. The last thing they want is to have 6 players playing Oscar Traynor the week before a big cup game. No dis-respect to the Clare league (they had a great cup win and showed great team spirit and a will to win) but the fact that they won it shows what sort of teams the 'big' leagues are putting out.
