I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Nice one the Lim lads, a cool and innovative name [by Irish standards] that already has people talking about the team.
Is there an official website for Limerick 37 yet??
Def like the quirkiness of Limerick 37. They couldn't go down the road of calling the club Limerick United or Limerick City again.
When a previous regime took over at Galway United a few years ago, they considered changing the name of the club but met with massive opposition.
I actually liked the idea of the club changing it's name to Gaillimh Aointaithe (that's Irish for Galway United) but they settled for including the word Gaillimh in the new crest and retaining the name.

Nobody knows us, we don't care
Really - because they were also formed in 1904. What a coincidence.
This is from the club website. No mention of a 0-4 defeat anywhere.
On 4 May 1904 a group of 14 and 15-year-old boys founded a football club they called Westfalia Schalke. To gain admission to organised club competition, the club merged with a gymnastics club known as Turnverein 1877 Schalke eight years later. But in 1924 the footballers parted company with the gymnasts and adopted the name FC Schalke 04, changing the club colors from red and yellow to blue and white in the process.
By the way - they also wear blue and white. They have got to be our new German sister club. Our uber-right wing supporters will be more than happy.

Foot.ie's entire existence is predicated on the average idiot's inability to ignore other idiots
Will Limerick37 definitely wear blue and white?

TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Yes we will.

As pro-Gaeilge as I am, that's a daft idea really !I actually liked the idea of the club changing it's name to Gaillimh Aointaithe (that's Irish for Galway United) but they settled for including the word Gaillimh in the new crest and retaining the name.

Firstly - you might have received a warmer reception had you spelt it properly. There's only one 'i' in Aonthaithe...
Secondly - as much as I hate to say it, you'd actually alienate people with a name like that formally in Irish, and you wouldn't really gain any fans for doing it (Gaelgors tend to be much more GAA than football). Can you imagine anyone really going around and saying in English "yeah - I support Aointaithe Gaillimhe FC' !?! Even less likely - can you imagone anyone chanting it ?? It's just be the usual token gesture - name as Gaeilge, everyone referring to them still as Galway United. Even the GAA don't push the county names in Irish as much as they could - just the usual token measures, such as scoreboards and programme cover.
Though in fairness - Galway are the most pro-Irish of our clubs (not that the competition is particularly stiff though...!).
its we now? christ the rats jump ship pretty quickly
we always sing "cathar chorcaí" when on Tg4

More tokenism......we always sing "cathar chorcaí" when on Tg4
And more unforgivable school-boy spelling errors. It's 'Cathair Corcaigh' or 'Chorcai'....
The irony of it all......
actually i should have said "i sing cathar chorcai", as i just make the noises with the crowd, i have no intrest in knowing a backwards dead language for the sake of perpetuating some sort of patriotic myth.More tokenism......

Well that'll teach you not to talk big about the Gaelic credentials of Cork fans then.....
Thank God for that ! I suspect the language is all the better without the tokenistic faux-patronage of narrow-minded bafoons...
As for your wharped notion of "perpetuating some sort of patricotic myth" - how's about learning it for it's own intrinsic cultural and historical value, and for the key it gives to the way the Irish describe, view and encapture the world around them - even to this day ? A discussion for another thread, I suspect. Meanwhile - you may want to point out to the EU that the Irish language is dead...
i wish we were allowed to do it democratically, im sure people wouldnt be pleased €3,000,000 a year goes to translation every EU document for the sake of a couple of thousand people availing of housing grants.Meanwhile - you may want to point out to the EU that the Irish language is dead...

Sigh.
Another one of the gigantic Rebel Army talking about something he hasn't a clue about
well in fairness the club that he has in his avatar and username is still in existance and he's going about calling some featureless, storyless, charmless consortium "we"
