He must be able to pass it some bit to get as far as he did!
But you do agree that Dunphy rolls around on the ground a bit too much!
But as see's it just said maybe Dunphy would do better now that he is older. He might have been a bit young when he first went up.
plus the standard of players there now are better
so what players were at the training the other night?
read in the paper there was 7 ex limerick
you gowl!
Hi
Junior Players will need a transfer and the deadline for this is the 21st Feb, any Junior players being asked to train will be asked only after their clubs have been notified.

In fairness and in hindsight I was ridiculously harsh on David Dunphy
Still not as good a player as Tommy Barrett though
OldKeeper, any sign of a few strikers??
Has any player signed forms yet
If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later
FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT
speaking of strikers....In fairness and in hindsight I was ridiculously harsh on David Dunphy
Still not as good a player as Tommy Barrett though
OldKeeper, any sign of a few strikers??
Alan Barry vs Derek McCarthy who would you pick for this 1?
Again see's it, 2 completely different types of player
On his day Carthy was one of the best finishers in the league
Alan Barry always gave 140% and is built like an ox
I know who I'd back to win a fight
ARE JUNIOR TEAMS GOING TO BE ASKED OR JUST INFORMEDABOUT THEIR PLAYERS???
alan barry,alan o shea were asked to turn up
I'D IMAGINE IT'S UP TO THE PLAYERS
surely there were more aksed

There seems to be a "them and us" attitude emerging again - with junior club fans asking about "their" players going to the L37 set-up. I suppose its unrealistic to expect long-standing animosity between senior and junior in the city to just disappear but I really think junior supporters should not look at L37 as a threat to their club or taking their players. Players should look to play at the highest possible level and junior clubs should be happy for players to move up a level. If they do not establish themselves with L37 then they will (I'm sure) be happy to play again with the junior club.
We need a pyramid structure in the city where the best players represent the city at senior level. This should be welcomed by the clubs and it reflects well on clubs when their players progress to senior level.
The L37 project deserves a fair crack - and putting club above city will hamper soccer in the city.
Taking the example of Kelliher and Barrett they have gone from junior to senior and shown their worth and now have the chance to show their stuff at the highest level in Ireland. That is a tribute to the players and to Fairview who helpedthem develop.

should be none of the clubs business if the player was asked if the players want to play senior football thats tough on the junior teams
a lot of players will have signed junior form with clubs due to that clubs strenght. Mid way through the season it is a possibility that L37 will take some of those players. Of course the junior players are going to be concerned espically when this is all hush hush.
I play junior football and i wish anybody who does make the step all the best. Even if they are from the team i play with. at the end of the day L37 will do nothing for me but possibly weaken my team. fact .

can you blame clubs that are going for the own title being robbed of their best players mid-season.... problem lies in the cross over between junior and senior seasons... no prob with players going on to a higher level as long as clubs aren't screwed again.. i was at the delegate meeting last week ... this scenario was not put fwd...old keeper lets have some input... by the way kelliher was developed by summerville and barret by geraldines.. they moved on to the view at youth and juior level.. view also contributed but not as much as the afore mentioned clubs.. how would senior football like it if mid season their players were poached....when going for promotion? think not..i
I think the word robbed is too strong. They are being given an opportunity to make the step up. Its not L37's fault that the leagues don't coincide.
Nobody wants to see clubs screwed - but players shouldn't be held to ransom (or screwed) by their junior clubs either. Referring to Goals4fun's post I think this has to be "hush hush" (or at least not posted on web forum). Its not my business what players are being approached etc just as its not yours. Its the business of the two clubs and the player involved.
Fair enough.
It happens all the time. In every league. But this is a bit different - we are talking about the club that represents your city. Ok - so for example Pike Rovers are going for the title and some of their players move to L37. You think its better that Pike win a junior title than L37 win promotion to the Premier Division. If you put junior above senior then we might as well all go home now.
I'm going to withdraw from thsi thread now because I really didn't want to get a slagging match going between junior and senior fans - that helps nobody.

i dont want a slagging match, if you think that is what i am doing i apologise, but every point can be viewed from a seperate angle, i am trying to highlight areas that need improvment..
(1) oportunity to step up.. agree, but who gets penalised?
(2) junior clubs screwing players.. I can speak from a clubs point of view, no player ever stopped, stalled or discouraged from bettering themselves by my club,(boro) but what about the club?? you speak about hush hush aproaches from senior football to clubs, okay, but i can tell you for a fact that Janesboro FC have not been approached or even whispered at about their current players....is this how it is supposed to be??
about players moving mid-season .. FAI made a hash of it.. both junior and senior football screwed at the moment .. why not go back to both seasons at the same time, either summer or winter..
I wouldnt call it "being robbed". The players that are asked have a choice. They either stay with the club they are at or they join L37. No one can force the players to join L37 if they dont want to.
Is it a possibility that some of the junior players could finish the season with their club and then join up with L37 at the end of the junior season?
