Cos they support Pike?
What should Pike supporters be ashamed about, the vote was secret and returned a 4 to 1 majority..so the opinions of 75% of soccer supporters in limerick are controlled by Pike..I think not
Cos they support Pike?
Not exactly correct. Some clubs have 3 or 4 or 5 votes whereas some only have 1. It all depends on how many junior and minor teams a club has. One vote for each team.
It would be possible for the vote to be passed without having the majority of the clubs in favour. All that counts is the majority of votes, not clubs.
Having said that, 21 votes against is quite small. I think someone said only 15 voted against it which is quite disappointing. Somewhat perplexing also is the fact that so many clubs wanted a change of committee when they were they ones who elected them in the first place. Chances are the majority of the new committee will be the same ole faces in a few weeks.
18 times, and that's a fact.
Hi Guys
Just to clear up a few things,
I don’t hide behind names I am who I am and stand over what I say, One or two of my many faults are that if I think something is wrong I will stand and challenge it no matter what the odds.
There were a total of 43 clubs present from a possible 54, of that 43 there were a total of 99 votes as the clubs were voting as per the number of teams they had registered with the league. Had all clubs been present the total vote would have been 117
8 of the clubs present had a combined vote of 34 votes. The rest would be a max of 1 or 2 votes each.
The vote was carried by a majority of Teams in the league not clubs, but the bottom line is that the motion was carried and as a democrat I for one can accept that.
What was disturbing was the refusal of the group to allow any discussion on the motion before the vote and then to refuse to discuss the matter afterwards. Some of the protagonists stated that they had been talking since May, this is true only for the clubs who instigated the proposal, the other clubs have never had the chance to discuss the matter as they were never approached to sign the petition, fairness would have decreed that the floor be opened to ALL the clubs to ask any questions of the committee and then make their minds up before voting.
I have no problem with any club proposing a motion of no confidence but I just like to ensure that all people present are fully informed of all the facts and not treated to one or two people’s opinions. In addition to this there were comments that this was not a personal issue however this is not bourne out by the actions as it would only be fair to allow someone who is being told they are not performing their duties to defend that allegation. the reasons behind the no confidence motion were never debated on the night so the committee were never given the chance to expand on any issue.
Having said all that the matter is now closed and while the current crisis is over we must all pull together to ensure that soccer in Limerick is strong and is not portrayed as a clannish and secular group. Comments like “I’m only interested in Junior soccer” reflects a mindset that will hamper the progress of all soccer. I personally feel that we should all be interested in soccer from the smallest child to the over 40’s inclusive of all the grades in between. The vision of the Schoolboy/girls, Ladies and Junior CLUBS in seeing a better future for everyone is a small seed that needs to be protected by all of us until it is strong enough to stand on its own and provide a valuable resource for everyone
So lets drop the vote thing and get on with real soccer stuff!

ger you just seem to be more interested in lim37 you tried hard enough to get into the ldmc when you did you were grand then lim37 came and all you were doin was ringing players from clubs to turn up for training thats not your job thats mc,gees maybe thats why clubs got ****ed off with you
Hoops, I can see that you are able to write, but are you able to read at all?
The vendetta against oldkeeper went on long before Lim37 was even dreamed of. The dogs on the street know that. Its pathetic.
Typical crap from people who would swallow a trawler.
The vote of no confidence was in the whole ldmc com'tee, not just one person.if a vote was taken on the job been done by Ger, on a club by club basis, i would bet any money that the majority would be totally in support of Ger. It is the likes of your club and the club that asked "what do we need a pro for anyway" that are going to put football back in the dark ages...
below is the future of junior football in limerick.
Little story from tuesday night. One of the newly appointed(ex_comm'ttee) people to run football for the near future, approached a club after the meeting,and said that now that his hands were no longer tied by the com'tee he would do the club a favour if they needed it..."
return to the good old days.....well done , pike, balla,view and the orgainising comm'tte of the coup..
talking about dark ages hows the boro club colourfull as usual?
im sick of this 'ex member and chairman of a club s**t' name and shame these people and there clubs
cant shame these people they dont have any
and you would be comparing it to your club ,,,,,
good to see that you are interested in the paint and lighting schemes of a football club when other people are destroying football.
how do we know that its not all lies
I will stand by anything that i have written. I have witnessed all of what i have written about
lets be honest, i would need to have some imagination to dream up this cr**p
Hi Hoops
My only interest is SOCCER not bothered if it is Under 9's Junior, Power soccer, Fotsol, Senior or anyother code or game that can help to promote the game. Limerick 37 has only been in existence since mid Jan so really not fair to say Im only interested in Limerick 37, and I have contacted 4 players so if 4 clubs got the hump because I called their secretaries or managers then I cant do much more.
You also need to get off your horse regarding me ringing players. As i told you I did and will continue to contact players if requested to do so. No players were contacted without the club being informed and if a few clubs wish to obstruct Junior players from making the step up then the club in question need to look at their motives. Players are paramount in all of the proposals for Limerick 37 and for Soccer Limerick. Players should be paramount in junior soccer as well, player development is the name of the game and when all grades are working together on player paths that will really be a boost for local soccer.
By the way the work put into Limerick 37 was and is on behalf of the local leagues, we are all volenteers here and lets not start another battle for no real reason. I can fully accept that some people have a different point of view but surely we can all work twoards a common goal!
If you dont feel my motives are for the good of all soccer then come out and say it I am a big boy now (no laughing for those who know me) I still play when picked for my own club and am still involved on the committee.
So for all soccer players and mentors lets just get on with positive stuff

you could just PM me the names and i promise il keep it to myself
a bad bad week for football in limerick. I can confirm leather statements about one of the new committee telling his own cronies they'd be taken care of again ..... pa mullally has also handed in his resignation as oscar traynor manager saying he wouldnt work with new (old) committee ... says it all really
It's simple really
there are a few bitter twisted people involved in soccer in every league but the ldmc seems to have a few more and the worsed part is that there are a few hangers on from clubs helping them the fixtures secretary and willie grimes are examples of the type of people who have no answeres to any of the problems facing soccer but wont let anyone else try to do anything the committee that is gone were not the best committee in the world but at lease they were trying to have the park repaired and they started the soccer limerick thing that has the schoolboys and ladies talking to each other and the referees. they were removed because the treasurer was bitter about being suspended for not apologising to the committee and because he is related to noonan this whole thing started some clubs were told that they were being removed because the committee were trying to remove the fixtures secretary that was a lie and there are loads other lies that are being told to the clubs
these are the clubs who want the whole 37 thing to fail
Pike
prospect
geraldines
summerville
corbally Noel hanley has said publicly that he would not vote for it and he is on the new committee
fairview
shelbourne
shame on ye clubs and members
all other clubs should come and support the thing in tueday dont listen to people who say ye should not come in cause its a done deal that is the way they work by telling some clubs they nedent bother commin in
looks like your club is behind alot of it MS5.
LDMC websites not working. Is this the way things are going to be now ?
