Yeah given how late in the day they were finally awarded a licence has affected things. Their website is live now but is still being worked on and they'll have their own shop up for merchandise, so I'll assume that Umbro won't have Treatys gear online until Treaty can get their online shop up and running first.

Which is why theres probably no photos of that Waterford friendly online as they were wearing their new away kit apparently.

Yeah I'm hoping they eventually look to a membership scheme like other clubs have. Cobh have been a club that has done good things behind the scenes lately and are a club that Treaty should be looking at for ideas as they try to grow.

What's the difference between an adult membership & family membership.

Adult has the LOI streaming etc etc

What do you get on top of that for family membership (not that I expect that much extra for an extra €20 but I was just wondering)

Kids membership is €20, so family membership would be kids and adults together rather than buying two separate memberships I assume.

I was thinking that. I presume the "Introductory pack" for kids is different from the adult one so by paying for family, you get both packs.

osarusan · 13-03-2021 5:53pm

Finished 0-0 in Athlone, Treaty changed most if not all their team at halftime, hopefully got a decent runout at least.

mastershake · 14-03-2021 2:10am

Just a few observations at this stage from watching the game. I realise its early days for a lot and fitness is the main thing at this stage so I wont be critical. There will be lots of opportunities over the course of the season for that.

1st half was very positive. The team selected for it was more experienced than the 2nd half team. Thought there was an emphasis on the team to pass it about and create opportunities, which they managed despite the conditions. Keane and Lynch in centre mid looked decent together and I thought Dean George and McSweeney did relatively well up front. Bit quiet from both Ed McCarthy and Joel Coustrain on the wings but encouraging enough signs despite Athlone's weakened team.

2nd half was a total new team with the 11 changes. I felt this team struggled to keep possession and build-play. Some positives were O'Donnell at 6. Thought he looked a seasoned centre back. Armshaw although pint sized looks lively and could be a decent option from the bench. With the weather deteriorating there weren't too many chances in the 2nd half.

All in all a good test and Tommy will be happy to have another game for the lads under their belt.

johnnyryan89 · 14-03-2021 10:06am

Ed McCarthy isn't a winger, unless he moved positions when he went over to Birmingham. Probably one of the best players I've saw coming up through schoolboys in Limerick and easily held his own playing CM for Pike at 15. Was in the same age group as Barry Coffey who went over to Celtic and IMO Eds was a better footballer, but Coffey had the size and athleticism advantage.

Nah probably be the same or very close. If buying through umbro it would take the pressure off the club to buy in stock that may not be bought. Probably get a few euro on everything sold through umbro and don't have to worry about stocking items.

You can see by Umbro, O'Neills etc... a lot of clubs have gone down this route.

Treaty beat Athlone 2-1 today at the Markets Field.

Sean McSweeney and Clyde O'Connell with the Treaty goals, Athlone with a penalty, all in the first half.

Joel Coustrain injury after 20 minutes, hopefully nothing serious.

That's the pre-season friendlies over. Now the campaign starts.

First game of the season: away versus Bray, Sunday March 30 (changed from Friday).

As already said they're behind the private hospital that's supposedly opening in Limerick. Plus the people behind the scenes at Treaty would have good connections, and it's no secret that sponsors like this were actively told by some to avoid giving money to Pat O'Sullivans Limerick FC towards the end and told wait for a more sustainable club to come around.

Game has been changed to Sunday, I assume to accommodate the players who work.

I think they mentioned on the commentary for the Athlone game that Bray's keeper was called up to the Irish U21 squad and they were given the option to move the game because of that.

osarusan · 28-03-2021 5:00pm

Bray 0-0 Treaty Utd

Treaty start their campaign with an excellent point away to one of the favourites for promotion. From radio coverage, it seemed like an even enough first half but Bray got the upper hand in the second half, with a red card for Sean McSweeney midway through the half.

It was a defensive effort from then until the end, with Treaty getting in the tackles, blocks and saves they needed to, and Bray having a couple of bad misses also. Marc Ludden and Sean Guerins the best for Treary, according to the Live95 crew.

Super result.

Next game: Home versus Wexford Youths, Friday April 2nd (behind closed doors, sadly).

osarusan · 02-04-2021 9:48pm

Treaty 1-0 Wexford
(O'Donnell)

First home competitive game, and first home competitive win for Treaty tonight.

Even enough first half, and Treaty took the lead midway through the half when a Ludden free kick into the box was helped on by Jack Lynch and Anto O'Donnell glanced home.

In the second half we were holding on for pretty much the whole 45 minutes. Wexford threatened with one ball over the top after another, although they never turned them into great chances.

The task was made more difficult with Clyde O'Connell's stupid red card for a needlessly agressive lunging tackle when he was always going to win the ball anyway, and it was all Wexford towards the end with Treaty unable to relieve the pressure much at all.

But they never turned the pressure and possession into a goal, and we held on for a famous win. 4 points and no goals against after 2 games is superb stuff.

Next game: Home versus Cobh Ramblers, Friday April 9th, 745pm.

For those who are interested, I paid for a subscription to LOItv, which streams the first division fixtures. It's €79 for the season. The coverage was...ok...I suppose. I don't care about the commentary, but the stream died at least 20 times during the match. When you refresh it's always back, but never fixes itself. I tried to sync it to the Limerick 95 commentary, but all the refreshing made it impossible.

While I think the A.I. does well I wonder is it the broadband that holds up? I wasn't gone on the commentary and would have preferred the 95fm lads. Still I can't wait for the Limerick Derby with Trinity Utd that drew with Bray last week!

Could possibly have been a broadband issue, but I think Sporting Limerick had a decent stream for the pre season friendly and there's been quite a few poor streams from watch LOI.

Who was doing the commentary on the stream do you know. The lads aren't everyone's cup of tea but I like there commentary, especially when they used to rib on Shane Tracy at times.

How did Ed McCarthy play in a more central role? That's two red cards in two games, gonna have to cut that out sharpish. Given we'd no preseason compared to everyone else they're gonna be fitter than us. We'll be defending a lot as legs get heavy late in the game.

We struggled in midfield a bit. Wexford bypassed it ball after ball over the top, and we never adjusted our high line so they kept doing it and it kept working.

Then when we were down to 10 men it was just a case of booting it away.

Treaty 1-1 Cobh Ramblers

(Own goal)

A game of 2 halves in Markets field tonight. Treaty started the better and passed it around nicely. We took the lead on about 15 minutes when some nice play set Sean McSweeney down the left and he fired in a dangerous low ball across the 6-yard box. A Cobh player tried to intercept but only diverted the ball into his own net.

We seemed in control then, but that changed with yet another red card after about 30 minutes. Charlie Fleming was penalised for stupid diving in the box and as the ref took out the yellow to book him, he got in a stupid shoving match with a Cobh player and the stupid yellow turned into a stupid red.

Even after that we were still comfortable until half time, but the second half was a different story. Cobh had 4 up in attack and were level on 50 minutes. Tadhg Ryan flapped at a free-kick floated into the box and his punch fell kindly for a Cobh player on the edge of the area who lashed a shot into the unguarded net.

It was mostly defence from then on from the 10 men, and Cobh missed a couple of decent chances to go in front. The chance of the night fell to Treaty late on, when another dangerous low ball was fired across the box. Ed McCarthy got there to poke it away from the keeper, but when just 3 or 4 yards out, right in front of an open goal, he took a fraction of a second to sort his feet out and a Cobh defender slid in to make a super clearance, and that was probably the last chance of the game.

Treaty in 5th position after three games.

Next game: away to Galway, Friday April 16th, 7.45pm.

Galway 1-1 Treaty Utd

(McCarthy)

Treaty were 30 seconds away from a great away win in galway tonight, but conceded right at the death.

Even enough game for the most part, Treaty kept their shape well and took the lead after 17 minutes when a super Ludden cross to the far post was met with a crashing header by Ed McCarthy back across the keeper and into the net.

Galway probably had more possession but didn't do too much with it, mostly long balls or diagonals that Treaty defenders headed away all night. Midway through the second half, Treaty had a great chance to put more space between the sides when Sean McSweeney (who was excellent until tiring) played Alan Murphy in behind the defence but the keeper saved.

We had Tadhg Ryan to thank later in the second half when Galway got in behind the defence but the keeper did brilliantly to close down the striker before he could get his shot away.

Right at the end though, a final freekick into the box was contested by a group of players and the ball broke kindly for a Galway player to smash into the net from about 6 yards out.

Still, unbeaten in 4 games with the meanest defence in the division is a very solid start to the season.

Next game: home to Cork, Friday April 23, 7.45pm

Give Pat a ring with this idea and he'll probably give you a job as managing director

All laughing and joking aside, but if this actually turned teams into franchises then I wouldn't be surprised to see stories coming out again about how a team in Dublin could be a possibility. We're basically a tax haven for companies. Our government would basically pimp themselves out to entice a franchise to relocate to Ireland. Would bring millions into the local economy.

Every underage Limerick FC player is a potential future asset due to the sell-on clauses. In the unlikely event of a former Limerick FC underage player playing professional football, Limerick FC are guaranteed a cut of their transfer fees, afaik.

It's a hard one because obviously this guy could be brilliant for local talent and it would be good to see young players from the midwest do well etc.

Treaty United 2-1 Cork

(O'Donnell, Keane)

Another super result for Treaty tonight against a Cork side in real trouble.

Cork actually started the brighter, and had more of the possession and territory in the first 25 minutes, and came closest when Dylan McGlade fired towards the top corner from the edge of the area and forced Tadhg Ryan into a superb save.

Treaty worked their way into the game and took the lead on 30 minutes. Marc Ludden swung in a corner to the far post, it was headed back across the goal, grazing the crossbar along the way, and Anto O'Donnell poked in from a yard. The lead didn't last too long though, as Cork recycled possession after a poor clearance and ex-Limerick player Cian Coleman glanced home a lovely header.

In the second half Treaty had more urgency about them and looked a bit more dangerous. We hit the crossbar from a header after a freekick into the box, but Cork did the same soon after from a dangerous McGlade cross.

With 12 minutes to go Ludden delivered another huge long through into the box which was glanced towards goal, then headed across goal for Matt Keane to react quickest and poach a goal.

We had to defend towards the end and Cork came closest when Tadhg Ryan got to a through ball before the Cork attacker, but his clearance rebounded off the striker, and the ball went went high into the night sky as it looped back towards goal, but thankfully dropped a foot over instead of under the bar.

Two tough games coming up against Shelbourne and UCD, so great to get the win tonight.

Next game: away to Shelbourne, Friday April 30, 7.45pm.

Treaty United
