    Two left backs from the same club, as far as I know. Both better than Frosty.
    The central midfielder was made reference to on Foot.ie before, and has since maintained contact with the club following his honeymoon.

    The left backs are a toss up between ourselves and Rovers, and the midfielder is a toss up between ourselves, Sligo and Shels.

    Looks like we are competing with the top dogs for players at the moment which is good to see. Usually we would be chasing the players no one else wants.

    Limerick are chasing four players, this I'm well aware of.
    Like I said above, one is a left back and one is a central midfielder.
    The other two I won't mention, because they're sensitive issues.

    Former Pats midfielder Stephan Bradley has signed a 2 year deal at Limerick...

    Story here: http://extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/7280/bradley-signs-2-year-limerick-deal/

    Don't know much about this player, but a premier player who played 25 games in the premier last year

    Who captained St.Pats, Arsenal Reserves and was in the PFAI Premier Division Team of The Season last season.

    They have made some serious signings since last season. They will take a bit of beating this season. In fairness to the new owner he is splashing the cash!

    We should win the league by 20 points easily...


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,995 ✭✭✭Jofspring


    For me it's impressive that he is committing players to 2 year contracts which shows he is in it for a while yet. Most LOI teams will only offer 1 year contracts and lose a lot of players at the end of the season. Good to see we are trying to sign and hold onto the best. Longer contracts also allows to offer at little less money cause it offers the player security for 2 years instead of a big pay off over 1 year.

    The current squad would hold their own in the premier. Unless Waterford, Finn Harps and Longford strengthen a lot, then we should be expecting to win the league at a canter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 462 ✭✭the_blackstuff


    A lot of getting out of the first division seems to rest on getting a good goal scorer.not many teams can find one. Not sure if they have one yet but the rest of the team are very good. That's a premier division midfield. Gamble in his time with cork was the highest paid player in the country.

    Denis Behan scored a lot last season, and if he plays Gaffney through the middle he should be worth a few goals too

    He certainly is but not as much as some people make out. ;)

    Alright lads!

    After many years of not attending, i'm going to try and get back watching the super blues!

    I'm totally out of touch with the club, players and the league so would one of you kind people like to post up your expectations for the season ahead, players to watch etc.

    Also, do you have meet ups? or a pub before games ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,514 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    There is a Limerick FC thread which has slipped down a few pages on here, as it's the off-season now.

    I was a season ticket holder until I moved to Japan last March - so was very committed to going to the games, and woke up early every Saturday morning here to see what the score was.

    For this season, I'd be very surprised if Limerick don't win the division by at least 5 points. Some of the players in our squad would be welcome in all bar one or two teams in the league. We came close to promotion last year with Shelbourne and Cork in the division - they're gone now, and haven't been replaced by teams of anywhere near their quality. Players to watch - Gamble and Bradley in midfield, and Behan up front.

    A few lads I watched games with did have a pre-match pint or two in various pubs near the ground, and I joined them on occasion. After match drinks were usually in the Still House, but I believe that's gone now. There is a supporters' club that will probably have a meeting before the season starts. There may even be an 'official' and 'unofficial' supporters' club now.

    Lads like Soulcrew09, Jofspring, and busyliving (among others that I can't remember now) will give you more details.

    Edit: Here's the Limerick FC thread.

    Most lads I go to the games with will take in a few pints in Austins nears the the ground and head down to Foxys on Bedford Row after the game.

    The league this year looks like it will go ahead without Cobh and Tralee sadly as they have been told even if they get first division licenses they won't be accepted unless someone else pulls out, so this is how it will look for the season.

    Athlone Town FC
    Finn Harps FC
    Limerick FC
    Longford Town FC
    Mervue United
    SD Galway FC (replace Salthill Devon)
    Waterford United
    Wexford Youths

    Each team will play each other 4 times, twice at home and twice away. Most people are predicting Limerick to win it with Longford and Waterford the nearest rivals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭Vanolder


    Checked to here!! Cheers lads....

    I am very familiar with Austins, or at least was cool.gif

    Doubt i will make any away games due to relationship commitments (damn women folk) but I look forward to some live footy and getting behind my local team.

    Sunday 12th February 2012
    120212cskatrialists.jpg Limerick FC are delighted to announce the arrival of two CSKA Moscow players to Ireland for trials with Limerick FC. The players were welcomed at Shannon Airport on Sunday evening by Pat O'Sullivan, Chairman. Both are expected to play some part of the game with Sligo Rovers at Terryland Park, Galway, on Monday 13 February (kick-off 7:45pm) and to train with the team on Wednesday.
    Lubos Kaluda (on the left) is a 24-year-old Czech International midfielder and has been with CSKA Moscow since 2008.
    Dawid Janczyk (on the right) is a 24-year-old Polish International striker who has been with CSKA Moscow since 2007.
    Both players were on loan last season to PFC Oleksandriya (Ukraine).

    Sligo 3-2 Limerick (O'Brien, Janczyk)

    A good run out against the the 2nd best team in the country and FAI cup holders Sligo. Limerick started with 3 trialists (2 lads from CSKA and Derek O'Brien)

    Interestingly the FAI have not announced anything regarding club licences, today was the day when it was supposed to be finalised however rumours are now rife that some club/s are in a spot of bother. (this however is no surprise)

    Finally just a reminder that the Official Supporters Club launch is on in the Strand Hotel this Weds at 7pm. All are welcome and 2 Premium Level tickets for the upcoming Ireland - Czech Rep game will be raffled among its members for free and you can join on the night. (2 tickets for all Rep of Ireland home games this year will be raffled in a free draw for all members)
