Didnt mean to come accross like that bud.

They had originally 3 in the squad and two pulled out earlier in the season as they wanted to concentrate on club football, still have 1 in the squad but is injured at the moment.

in all fairness could someone tell me why there are no balla or fairview players on the oscar traynor team,its defies logic seen as the two teams are joint top of the premier and you have a couple of 1a players on it,i reckon a pick of balla and the view would beat the current panel handy enough,fair point??

Maybe there just not good enough,who knows what drugs Aidan Ryan is taking???In fairness to the 1A players Heffernan scored twice and Leo Wong is a joy to watch so its hard to be critical when there winning

That's probably correct dellhell but the problem is getting these players to play for the oscar traynor panel ! This has been a topic of conversation for the last couple of years but you'll never get all the best players in town interested or available to play ! I know for fact some of the best players in this town have refused to play this tournament no matter who the manager is.

went to watch there game against aisling afew weeks back and they looked like they had 14 0r 15 at that game.heard the same myself regarding the numbers at training,that it has been as little as 3 0n occasions.numbers at training was supposedly the main reason pa mulluly left.i do know that they have alot of lads working out of limerick during the week but you have to say that them kind of numbers dont bode well for a team fighting relegation.does anybody have any info on what kind of numbers the rest of the premier teams get for training?

Not at all...And from my last viewing of the League table aren't Pike joint top as well?Fairview have yet to play many matches with the top 4 and from who they've played in the top 4 it didn't go too well for them...

And as said,its near impossible to knock a winning team in fairness,Aidan Ryan hasn't done much wrong this season..

What would your joint View/Balla team be?
We can judge after that (but I'd tend to agree with you)

**MitreSize5** · 20/03/2008, 9:44 AM

lads dont want to play Oscar traynor full stop and clubs dont want their players playing it either ..... until that changes your never going to see a full strenght Limerick OT side

Fairviews results so far against the other top sides dont seem too bad to me GreenHoop. Ya they got beaten well in the first week of the season by Pike in Pike, but haven't lost a game since. Have beaten Regional and Boro, drew with Aisling, yet to play Balla.

**oscar** · 20/03/2008, 5:47 PM

Carew Pk 2-1 Corbally
Star 1-3 View
Boro 2-0 Summerville
Pike 3-0 Granville

has been like that as far as i can remeber. I think a few managers don't want their players playing on it. In recent years the teams at the top of the table seem to have nobody on it, some players could not be arsed and as said some clubs/managers don't want their players on it. I think the timimg of the games play a part this year, the weekend before FAI. It is easy to get hurt and miss out a big game the following week.
I think the players who do play should get more recognition with a full set of gear etc. Pride is enough for some, to play at a higher level for others is enough.
Hopefully this years OT team will do well ... with soccer in Limerick they should be pushing year in year out in the OT !!!

james hayes but i honestly dont think he would have got in the fairview team with everyone available.Seems to me Mike Kerley has gone for players with a lot of pace.

Wouldn't call Boro a top 4 team anymore with the players they lost..Regional have yet to win a trophy in anything...We'll see how ye fair against Balla and Pike...
