Limerick Division 1A 2006/07

**lim abroad** · 17/11/2006, 4:36 PM

every year people say that the standard has dropped in 1a or premier or just junior soccer in general.i think its very hard to judge whether this is true or not,in fact in my opinion i think that limerick soccer has vastly improved in the last 10 years or so,our junior leagues have supplied a lot of players to the eircom league and limerick teams have emerged as favorites for the national and regional cups instead of just being pretenders.

its always been the same with wembley have played agianst them a few times found them a good football side so something is wrong if you can't get to premier

ya i remember playing against u too pal... centre half holycross left footer u were always good for a two goal lead..... just saying that from talking to a lot of the corbally boys and aisling boys who used play with us.... they said that the BOTTOM 5 OR 6 in the premier is as good as the top 3 or 4 in 1a.... they have experience of playing in 1a for a few years and now have had the experience of playing premier so think they would have a better understanding than u..... didnt say the whole of 1a is as good as the premier....

your starting to get personal MATE, not a good idea.... we will see who goes up this year but as last year and the year before and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that..... i predict Wembley will be in 1a again next year and you will be back on this thread insulting me again

yes i said wembley etc not you, but you insulted me and not holycross. now in ealrier threads i have said i'm a average joe player never said anything different.

you mentioned you speak to players who have played with wembley but are now in the premier, why did they leave if wembley are good enough to get tothe preimer, why is wembley been stuck in 1a for soooooooooo loooonnnnngggg. you should have been able to work it out by now i assume.

to answer your question its as open as ever but as always when the chips are down i expect wembley to drop at the final hurdle and these players you mention will move on as previous players have done...

and if the do go up then fair play i will eat my words and publicly apologise on this thread

**summervilleman** · 18/11/2006, 12:56 PM

well i honestly think that wembly are the best team in 1a so far this year that i have seen and played against..Very good strong team and good passers of the ball..I think they will defo promoted this year.....Ok we beat them at home 2-0 but they were all over us in that game,especially the 1st hlf but we got 2 goals from the break in the second half...And we have been beaten by caherdavin 8-2 this year at our own ground but i still think wembly are the better team...I might be eating my own words at the end of the season but thats what i think??

**Jock MIB** · 18/11/2006, 1:13 PM

hi summervilleman, i agree with you but its the same every year when they need that little extra to get promotion they fall at last hurdle. by how the league is looking i'm thinking it will happen again.

**summervilleman** · 18/11/2006, 3:02 PM

I personnally don't think so..PLayed with them before when they were in premier and have been watching them every year since they came down and this year they seem to be a bit more organised !!!Think it wil be them and either us,caherdavin and bruff and maybe geraldines!!

it going to be interested anyway

as i said earlier if they get promoted i will publicly apologise to scoobysham on this thread but keep the personal insults to yourself scobbysham thats twice you have done it and bad things come in threes

why are u getting so defensive about and saying bad things come in threes..... all i said was and sorry for repeating myself again everyone but i said that the bottom half of premier and top 3 in 1a, there is not much between... look at herbertstown beat balla and fairview (granted only in cups and they need to reproduce this form in the league) and everyone said they will go straight back to 1a with 0 points....... and corbally who lost a few players to janesboro more than likely safe already with 14 points.... the season before aisling and granville got promoted and are still premier... season before regional got promoted and are now serious contenders for the league.... so goood teams have got promoted in recent years and have established themselves inthe premier.... the facts are there tiger...

**summervilleman** · 19/11/2006, 2:42 PM

well said scoobysham...I will agree with u there...Cold hard proof that the teams in 1a can do it in the premier...Look especially at regional as scooby said...I know they have added to there squad but u need to that as well....premier teams adding to there squads every year..

Result from today

Park 0 - 4 Summerville

ya just purely telling the facts have no beef with anyone.... just dont think thre is much between a few clubs in premier and top 1a.... another good win for ye summevilleman.... every time the league fixtures are finished on a sunday the league seems to get tighter... looks like it could go to the last game of the season..... just hope wembley will get up this year....

**scoobysham** · 20/11/2006, 11:16 AM

because our fai match against fairview is called off next week.... will we be down for a league game old keeper.....

**themerryman** · 20/11/2006, 1:12 PM

ye seem to be starting to score a lot of goals up there with summerville
of late and not conceeding much,but in honesty you have been expected
to win your last few games by the score line's that ye did,its when ye come up against the so called stronger teams next time round that i think we will
see how the league is panning out..

**see's it** · 20/11/2006, 2:16 PM

**booster 03** · 20/11/2006, 4:26 PM

beleive it or not park are not as bad as people make em out to be, they'd about six or seven on the bench and a few platers i recignised from last few seasons, i think they'l start takin points off teams soon!as regards to the actual latch they started well, missed a few chances and we got a poxy first goal and drove on from there, difference being the first goal of the match, if they'd taken theres im sure it would have been a totally different game. some set up out there, its a shame there gone like they are!cyril maher and shane fitz are two great signings for us.

I seen Hill Celtic playing this weekend against Pike and they held for sometime. (Pike got the 3 goals in the last 20 mins) They have got some new signings since the season started and although I heard they lost to and Carew as well in the FAI cup I'd say they will hold their own in Div 1A ? Also speaking to 1 or 2 of them after the Pike game they said that they have another 1 or 2 on route so wouldn't be so sure.

from what i hear pike should have been out of site at half time. They are not taking their chances and it wil cost them some day. Once the first goal went in there was going to be no other outcome. (plus i think it was well before 20 mins left they scored)
