derek mccarthy gone to pike from limerick
good signing for pike, any rumours of the other Limerick players going back to Junior footy??
ie, jossy, buckley, barrett? or will they move to other el teams?
68, 99, 08
jossy and davy ryan to balla(rumour)
none of these boys can play in the league as far as i know over some stupid ldmc rule ... .crazy keeping fellas out of football and Im not just saying that because mccarthy signed for us
Hi Mitre
I presume you are referring to rule 2
"A player who has lost his junior status, ie who has played more than 5 senior matches in the current season is ineligible to play in these (LDL) competitions"
Just to point out the LDL reference to 5 Senior matches is a quote from an old FAI rule that has been superseded many times over, the actual rule states that a player who has "lost his Junior status" it would be prudent to say if a player has a junior status he is eligible. the key is if the player has a junior status, and the new FAI rules are clearly falling on the side of Junior clubs in relation to this as the players can return to junior status but once they do the player is then unable to return to senior football for almost 18 months. This is a rule that needs to be challenged by the clubs at the next AGM.
"When faced with total negativity, a smile is a weapon of mass destruction"
so with the ruling from the fai it makes it clear that the players will not be jumping between leagues for pre-season etc. why do the ldmc have to implement their silly rule on this also. It is the only league around that has this as far as i know. Plus the players can play in the national cups which make the leagues rule even worse !!

Hi Goals
Dont shoot the messenger, The LDMC can only implement the rules as agreed by the clubs, If the clubs wish this rule to be altered or changed it will be. However I do think that the rule is one that is over written by the changes in the FAI rules on junior status. Any club that needs clarification on the status of a player in relation to this rule should contact the League secretary who will no doubt bring it to the attention of the committee.

did john boyle sign 4ye?
do all limerick players have to apply to be free to sign junior or are they stil contracted by limerick even though they r gone from the league??
heard paul finucane is gone to regional
Talking to jossy last friday and he said he was interested in playing with wembly, not sure will he, but he would be a great signing, but after reading the post by old keeper it seems unlikely
has been trainin wit balla the last few weeks but you'd never know
The 5 game rule still operates in Limerick and only here, so any players who want to play junior football for the remainder of the season and have played more than the 5 games at senior level will only be eligible for the FAI and Munster Junior competitions if they get released by Limerick FC.
To get this rule changed it would have to come from the clubs as Old Keeper stated.
From what i have been told the vast majority of the current Limerick FC squad some of whom are friends of mine will be waiting to see what becomes of this new consortium.
Derek Mc Carthy has signed for Pike but will only be available for the FAI and MJC, the reason he did is to be classed as an amateur player and be eligible to play for the Irish Universities in the world student games in the summer in Tokyo.
Paul Finucane is training with Regional because his friends play for them but he will not be signing for them and i would imagine all of the other rumours surrounding other Limerick FC players are just that, rumours and they will be waiting to see what happens with Limerick..........
Is this 5 game rule confined only to Eircom league games or does it also apply to the cups ie. FAI Senior cup and Munster Senior Cup.
yes it applies to all senior games cups included
So that means if Pike had opted to play in the Munster Senior Cup this year and had played 5 matches or more in the competition that their players would be ineligible to play league matches from that point on. Ludicrous rule if this is the case. Old Keeper can you shed any light on the matter?
This area is complicated but If Pike had opted to play in the MSC they would not have had a problem as there are exceptions to this rule for Junior teams who qualify for the MSC and the FAI Senior cup, the FAI cup rules and the MJC cup rules also mention these exceptions. The whole area needs to be addressed locally and ALL the clubs need to have an input as the danger is that these rules are changed to meed the needs of a few clubs but have a detremental effect on soccer in general. remember it was probably a proposal by one junior club that made the rule in the first place.
