Ins / Outs 2008

[L37Ultra]

Add Fini, Chucka, Colbert to that exits door I believe.

Add Jimmy Fyfe to that list aswell id say.

[pearse4t3]

The under 21's players that signed contracts ay the end of the season are Eddie Brazier, Jon Grant, Darren Harrington, Donie Curtin, Davy Ryan and Bobby Gregg. John Tierney was under contract anyway.

Bobby Gregg

Thought he was going back playing minor

[sadloserkid]

Add Jimmy Fyfe to that list aswell id say.

Is that a hunch or something more than that?

Jimmy captained the team in Mike Kerley's last season I'm pretty sure so I see no reason why he'd bail out unless work/music/etc came calling.

[limfan]

Will kerely try and get a few of the kerry lads he had before with o'mahony, shugrue and conway(older)???

No hunch whatsoever, he told me himself that he was working 6 days a week with his band and he would find it hard to dedicate time to playing with Limerick next season.

[Roadend]

He should write a song about it, it could be big.

[Den Perry]

ye may have the pick of Kilkenny's players seeing as they'll have no club..

I was laughing because our budget wouldn't allow to be paying nobodies to travel up from Kilkenny why go down there for players??

For the record it was:

P: 4
W: 1
D: 1
L: 2

GF: 4
GA: 7

And yes I would consider this to be shameful

[Jofspring]

anybody have any idea who was training with limerick last night? Might give us a good idea of who will be playing next season.

There were no new players, I dont know which of those already mentioned were in attendance.

How many players??

[KevB76]

How many players??

Dont know, I only asked my source if there were new players - I presume 6

[L37Ultra]

Limerick are training out in Corbally's pitch again tonight. They were only in the gym in UL the other night!! Apparently, the six U-21s were there (Curtin, Grant, Harrington, Brazier, Tierney and Danagher) plus Purcell, Derek McCarthy are the only other two that were definitly there.

80% of kilkennys good young players from last season are all from tipperary so travelling into limerick would not be major journey. some of em are fairly handy too. think tim kiely young 18 year old has signed for cork city from kilkenny already so rest of em would definatly be worth having a look at

[GenerationXI]

Being a new signing myself I would like to say only this: Perhaps I haven't lived through a real disappointment yet (in Jackman anyway) but I like the idea that the club has allowed so many youths to come up. It's Limerick football that wins when all the mercenaries go elsewhere...shame about colbert, fini and chucka (work commitments?) though. If we survive this season and manage to keep the squad together (2 large IFs, I know) then we could be looking at a much better season the following year. The fans aren't the only people in Limerick who take pride in the team. If the players are committed then what more can we ask for? I'd rather watch a team grow, work and develop together - and reap the long term benefits - than see the usual bunch drafted in... maybe I'll learn.

I'm all for young players coming through the club. I'm not sure that all of ours will ever be up to standard though. That said this season we probably can't afford much more and it will be the making or breaking of most of these players.
