why are L37 supportors always trying to put down junior football, without junior football there would be no L37!!

Thats not the point he was making, absolutly nothing got to do with the sacrifices of junior players as they are now. His point was that if a junior play/team wants to step up a level, that many players would find it hard to make the commitments and sacrifices!! Many L37 Supporters play junior football, so whats your point???

And as an aside, I think you'll find 'most juniors' are happy with their lot because they like their gargle and nights/days out at the weekend

My interpretation of the above is that the bloke is trying to put down junior football, from reading the above you would swear that junior footballers don't make sacrifices and go on the lash at the weekends, which they can't due to matches on a sunday morning. (this is premiere players i mean)

My point is that some L37 supporters on this site seem to have a problem with junior football when in fact they should be grateful for junior clubs for providing them with players and a ground to play in.

Maybe L37 supporters should look at the LOI setup for reasons for why some top junior players don't want to play LOI.

Don't get me wrong I would love to see L37 do well, it would benifit local soccer at all levels.

Doesn't matter lads, Ski doesn't rate junior players so while he is at L37 there won't be any junior players signing for L37.

Ya but hopefully he might leave with Fossets the next time they're in town

Who does apeman plan on signing with his colossal budget if he isn't having a look around town??

I can guarentee you that 99.9% of L37 fans on this website have no problem what so ever with Junior Soccer. Why would they? Many of them, including myself, play Junior soccer and those who dont are planning on setting up a Junior Club next season, so again, whats your point?

!! Its the people who come on here, putting down L37 who people on here have a problem with, not Junior soccer. If the best players did play in the LOI then then the standard would improve, then the attendances would grow and then setup would get better. Why cant everyone in Limerick get behind our citys team instead of having the same old conversation about Junior soccer, every week!!

l37 supporters play junior soccer, so i dont see how they could all be putting it down and anyone who signed a form at any stage in limerick contributed to the ground that included the limerick players on the senior team, the attitudes of my own club would be poor toward l37 cause some of our club think they are better than the senior team. from what i can see and the ldmc told me this, the l37 club have put over �150000.00 into the park this season so would that have happened if they wernt there i dont think it wold

We're talking about the minority of junior players and clubs that would be able to step up to a higher level. So out of your 99%, about 90% is fodder/rubbish who wouldn't be good enough to go beyond junior level anyway. And a good proportion of that 90% are out drinking every wknd, match or no match. I know the junior scene so you're not talking to an anti-junior L37 head here, not that there are that many around anyway. And of those that could step up, most of them couldn't be @rsed due to a variety of reasons which include their social life, work commitments, Gaa commitments etc, plus whether u like it or not, the better junior players at the bigger clubs in Limerick ARE getting paid.

Christ, does everything have to be explained in great detail on here lately. At least L37Ultra is tuned in for one.....
