    Goalkeepers

    Of the keepers I mentioned I have seen McNulty, Devine, Bennion, Delaney and O'Neill play in the last three seasons and I rate them all better keepers than Dave Ryan. What part of my opinion do you guys not understand? I'm not asking ye to agree with it, just respect that its my opinion like I respect yours

    Would that be the game for Kildare when he gifted us 2 goals or the other time we played that year when he gifted us one?

    Why does our new mod lock a thread that he help drag off topic? fact is we all know who he is and know he is far from been a regular at any of our games, so his opinion on LOI keepers is not as valid as others on here.

    Lock the whole place down Joe!

    If you want me to I will!! I locked the thread because it had been gone so far off topic for over 40 posts, and yes, I did help drag it off topic so therefore I locked it. I also suggested the opening of this one, so there you go. And seeing as it took you one whole post to drag this one off topic I'd say it might not stay open for very long either

    Feel free to start a thread called JoeSoaps non-attendance at Limerick games if you wish.

    Firstly, apologies to anybody who feels put out by my opinions here because I don't attend as many games as I used to. I do work in Dublin until 6 every Friday and its kind hard in these times to take time off like I used to be able to.

    On goalkeepers, I think that Dave Ryan is too inconsistent to be considered a quality goalkeeper. I have seen his inconsistency in the games I have attended over the past few seasons, and judging by several peoples comments here he is still very error prone. Is there a goalkeeping coach at the club any more? He is still young enough to learn, and hopefully these inconsistencies will vanish with more experience. I'm not sure of the breakdown of goals conceded this season, but its pretty normal for 90% of them to be down to defensive lapses than goalkeeper error anyway, so it would be interesting to see how many goals, if any, he is directly responsible for conceding.

    Is the lad McGuinness a serious challenger for his place?

    Yes there is Paul Fagan.

    No not at all. Gone from the bench last 2 games replaced on it by Brian Collopy who could be a challenger if he got his head right and wasn't injured so much.

    Brian's injuries are mostly in his head.

    Yep. If he got a bit of confidence he would be a great keeper i think. Not long ago Derry, Bohs and Celtic were ringing him.

    tbh with mcguiness I didnt realyrate him as when he played for us near the end of the 2008 season he let in five goals on his debut in monaghan when they thrashed us! Paul Fagan was goalkeepin coach with us under Aaron Callaghan and Vinny Perths stewardship at the club..
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Also went on trials to England before he signed with LFC. Good keeper, nice lad, and would do a job if given a run of games.

    Day after he signed for us got a phone call from Celtic.

    I remember reading somewhere about him that he was a t a trial in Celtic while still at school a few years ago. Could be mistaken. It could have been Ger Barron?

    He played in most of the pre-season matches and in the MSC v Pike. He looked comfortable, I'd say he'd do a good job.
    However, I still rate Davy - he was on top form this time last season, he just needs to get back to that. ..also once we have our proper back four fit and settled that will make a big difference.
