LOI Matches Week 1 - Weekending 2/3/12

**BonnieShels** · 02/03/2012, 9:16 PM

What was stupid about the sending off?

Gutted moreso after that after watching you guys cry, whine and whinge for 90 min. We shoud have sewn it up later than holding on with 20 to go.

Looks like I've got my new Spingal. ;-)

Stupid sending off by Quigley, not of Quigley

Grand. Just checking. :-D

It was a terrible tackle. One of many ye made. Not at all impressed with yer attitude to be honest. Nothing like potential champions.

Wait til ya see Cheesesteak's goal. It was a cracker.

Well to be fair Shamrock Rovers hardly set the world alight tonight either.

1-1 is a disappointing result in the end. I thought first half we'd done well. There weren't many chances being created but Phillys goal was super. Quigley deserved to go. Nasty tackle. He wasn't the only Sligo player flying into tackles though and I was surprised Sligos attitude in general.
Second half as it progressed we started to sit back and invite them on to us. The last minute equaliser almost seems inevitable with Shels at this stage.
Would've taken a draw before the game but definitely feels like 2 points thrown away now.

6-0....happy days!!

We are a lot better then last year, better organised and players look hungry but Waterford were rubbish!! I'm sure their fans will agree

Thought we were grand until we conceded, found ourselves on the back foot then. Still, three points from the first game is all I wanted, job done. I'd hope we'll improve as we gel together.

It's really good to see publicity for the league like this

Bricking it about the Dundalk game, we need a good start to keep the interest up from the casual fans, and 3 points against a likely relegation rival. IRWT.

Was there even one update from the Dundalk game on that apart from the full time score?

That was good craic in Tolka tonight. Thought we were sluggish.
I thought the official attendance would have been higher than reported on extratime given they delayed the kick off for a few minutes to let the crowds get in. Looked like more than that as well.
In fairness to Hughes he took a magnificent free kick but Ventre won the ball. Fair result in the end in my opinion.

**Strawberry** · 03/03/2012, 12:48 AM

Thought we were well worth the draw tonight.
The ref and pitch were shocking.

They delayed the ko because of the minutes applause.

Also winning the ball does not mean that it wasn't a free kick. It was a dangerous tackle and the free was deserved.

Good player Quigley - hopefully gets a serious kick in the hole from the new gaffer.

Shels will stay up , maybe even push for top half, but seriously lads, you're in the Premier - would it be too much to ask that you might run a roller over the pitch? You should be embarrassed by that surface - you couldn't roll the ball five yards in any direction without it taking a major bobble.

Turns out it was actually 1918.

B2BW, this is how insufferable Fingal fans were.

Remember this.

What exactly is the problem mate?
The pitch was a disgrace.

**pauliek** · 03/03/2012, 1:53 AM

Over 600 Rovers fans in Tolka, best support in the league

Game went as expected at Drogs, was expecting a tight game with a settling Rovers side. Glad to take the three points and go home to face Roderick and Cliftonville

**micls** · 03/03/2012, 2:46 AM

Ah, City spend a season making me forget what it feels like losing a game, first weekend of the premier and back to earth with a bump. Ah well

**nigel-harps1954** · 03/03/2012, 2:53 AM

About 40 or 50 Harps fans down in Limerick tonight. Each and every one a credit to the club too. A very poor game tonight not helped by a strong wind. Limerick were very poor though, Harps had them on the back foot for most of the 2nd half. I'd be very hopeful for our season if thats the team that are going to walk away with the league.
