Limerick Premier Division 2007/08

[Monster]

how come john fitz,kelleher+purcell were not playing against balla were the view trying to hand the game to balla or have gave up on the league?

I dont know how true this is but its what i was informed.

John Fitz was inujured prior to the Pike game and the injury recurred during the game

Purcell -work commitments

Robbie - flu

[lifegoeson]

I'll go for 2 surprises tomorrow with Fairview and ourselves winnin away..Positive thinking!!!

Then again star might surprise Pike with morton on a roll scoring goals and with them getting there shaper of a keeper back [/quote]


mona thats a terrible thing to be calling your own cousin

[lifegoeson]

well after a knee op, and not having trained for 3 months, wouldn't you be??
Still 2 goals for first game game in 3 months isnt bad for a fat bloke,

and you ate all the jelly tarts in the club sunday

[summervilleman]

I know graham but its true and u know its true he he

[lifegoeson]

thats a good question

It was St. Francis we played in the FAI that year. We held them in Dublin but were well beaten up in the Pike field. Those were the days when one team went out of town in the FAI and it was years until we did again.

We played out in Shannon on the old Park Rangers pitch two weeks later and Greg Moloney and Joe Bariscale togged out. They obliged us by rolling over 3-0

Im trying to think of the team that day and where they are now

Joe Barriscale - Keeper - Went back to Vereker Clements and played out his days there.

Mike Ryan (Jaws) Left Full - went on to manage teams around town, including Pike and still quite popular in the game. Lost his father in the crash, he died a few months later

Pa Mul Left full/Mid Field - Went on to become the most successful manager at Pike in the modern era, lost a nephew in the crash

Tommy Shan Centre Half - was a died in the wool Pike man at the time, never put anything back into the game when he hung up his boots

Dom Considine Sweeper - very elegant footballer. Currently managing Wembley.

Ger Dillon Right Full - managed Pike B for a few years, Havent seen him in years at a match. Father was president for a while. Brothers on committee at the moment

Pat Cunningham Midfielder - The most gifted player I've every played with or against but like a lot of these guys wanted the ball at his feet and got frustrated with the 'skills' of his team mates. Around the club a bit these days. Was never the same player afterwards

Declan Woods Midfielder - the flying winger. Keep your feet closed though and if he couldnt nut meg you he was goosed. Finished up playing before his time for family reasons

Joe Roche Midfielder - Head case enforcer. Havent seen him in years.

Jim Tier Midfielder - Moved to England shortly afterward. I heard a few years later he was jailed for GBH over there.

Greg Moloney - Centre forward, very pacy front man. Work commitments (chef) saw him finish up early as well. A great man to look after you when he was working out in Finnegans.

Tony Morris - Greatest goalscorer I can remember at Pike. Scored goals at all levels and won a LOI medal with Limerick a few years before. Managed Pike with Cla for a spell. Son Dave currently playing up front.

Fran Mullally - Manager, Was in intensive care for a long time after the crash. Tragically lost a young son. Died a few years ago and the current league title is named in his honour. Managed Pike a few different times afterwards

Eddie O Donovan - Was helping Fran around that time but cant remember if he was for that season. Still lives and breaths Pike. Grandson currently playing

Tommy Burke - 'Physio' Died almost a decade ago. grandson Paul still playing junior football around town.


Sorry for boring people with that - hard to believe it was 21 years ago. It was a great time to be involved with Pike. We had some laugh those times training out in UL on Tuesdays and Thursday with that cnuting sand pit. Something died that day that we never managed to get back as a squad and it took the club a long time to recover

Joe Hanley - Secetary, John(?) Ryan - Mike Ryans father and Paul Mullaly - Fran Mullalys 5 year old son died.

SOME REALLY GREAT BLOKES HERE

[L37Ultra]

John Fitz has a punctured lung im lead to believe

Are you serious?

[Pike B]

He's taking the mick out of you bud.. Your name and that..

[L37Ultra]

your close enough but im nearly certain dec woods did,nt play that day.from what i can remember his first game back was in the munster junior semi final that year when temple utd beat us 3-1 in turners cross.also did mick blake play that day in shannon

[L37Ultra]

are u sure anyone owns that club,sur is this mccarthy fella only a front for john delaney?did mccarthy actually put any money into the club?and if he did why are the players only gettin 75 quid a week?

Owns what club?

Are you another type who says he follows football but puts down "his/her city's club" Sad really. It was a little joke about your username and you go looking for a slagging match calling Limerick a "joke"

Grow up.

[L37Ultra]

no im just lookin for a bit of banter,u call urself an "ultra",yet u seem to be hanging around junior websites...no surprise really seein as how ye sponge a pitch from junior football and sponge ur players from junior football

Well maybe because I play Junior football so thats why I have an interest in it and I am in this thread.

Where else would Limerick get their players?

[Roadend]

Does "are you seruious" have a point to make or is it going to be a constant sting of incoherent ramblings?

[L37Ultra]

so u have to time to train 2 nights a week,hold down a job,spend time wit the family, and be a limerick ultra?u must have some way of extendin the day

And would they not consider signing players from other eircom league clubs?or maybe munster senior league which,in theory, anyway s a higher standard than the limerick premier
Furthermore, would they not be aswell off tryin to entice the better players from junior clubs, and not average ones who struggled to get a game in town...

If you have an interest in my personal life I suggest you PM me because i'm sure everyone on here doesnt really care to be honest.

Limerick do sign players from other Eircom League clubs but surely all players have to start somewhere.

The budget was low this year so yes they signed some average Junior players.

Whats your point? Some of the users on here are like clones, the same begrudges and views on Limerick

[sanity]

Does "are you seruious" have a point to make or is it going to be a constant sting of incoherent ramblings?

HA HA well said

[Roadend]

And i am certainly not a clone,

Are you sure about that?

[hoops12]

Good to see the LDMC supportin these kind of events and not schedueling premier games on sunday. Are they finally bein dragged into the light?!?Are u sure its not 20 years since the crash?

21 years it happenned in 1987

[MitreSize5]

your close enough but im nearly certain dec woods did,nt play that day.from what i can remember his first game back was in the munster junior semi final that year when temple utd beat us 3-1 in turners cross.also did mick blake play that day in shannon

maybe woddy didnt play - to be honest I'm not 100% sure thats how we lined out that day, twas a life time ago.

Yeah Blakey played in Shannon. I cant remember much of the rest but here is who I can

Joe Barriscale, Greg Moloney, Logger, Blakey, Dermot Waters, Patsy Bennett

anyone care to add to that list

[abbeyvale]

and you ate all the jelly tarts in the club sunday

That was my welcoming back party, so I'm entitled to eat what I want

Anyway, Graham Carey and Derek Hannon ate everything before I got a chance.......

[summervilleman]

I noticed graham putting on a few pounds lately alright
