Then couple that with virtually all our promotion (hopefully) points coming against the softer Div One sides, I don't see too many similar fixtures waiting in the division above where teams will yield handy points.

    Now, fair play to him for getting us up, its where Limerick soccer belongs and its great to be back, but we haven't beaten a rival side at home in three seasons and we will have to be strong at home, as away trips will be bloody difficult up top, with this major fault line still running through Scully's tenure as Limerick manager Id be more cautious.
    We have a lot of players that played in the premier division and will know what to expect i think that will be an advantage to limerick i think a few will go Pat purcell will be past that level for sure and a few others but at least been in the premier will attract better players.

    Thats complete bull imo Paddy will be fine up there with a good partner next to him. Hes a lot better then anything UCD,Dundalk ,Bray or Shels have anyway.

    Ya Paddy with another good centre half definitely has a few years in the premier in him. He needs a quicker centre back partner but he is fitter than I ever saw him.

    purcell still the best centre half in the division and will comfortably hold his own if and when premier comes calling once he stays fit.

    With that Monaghan team winning the ea cup over the weekend i wouldnt be too sure about our future with the current management in charge.
    If we go up id say he will be in charge but in the past Dundalk sacked john Gill when they got promoted (Limerick beat them 3 out of 4 that season with a group of kids) Others would have had us promoted 2 seasons ago with the effort that Pat O'Sullivan, staff and volenteers have put in over the years

    Exactly, it begs the question why people think we will suddenly start putting away sides at home or away that we will be coming across in the Prem when all evidence so far suggests otherwise. Strongly.

    I remember 95FM guy saying to Scully after the recent defeat at home to Waterford, that everything would be OK and forgotten if they could make amends and get it all back on track the following weekend against Mervue. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and if the interviewer was actually unaware or just not being allowed to ask the real questions.

    The only thing that gives me some optimism on that score is the wins over Cork and Bray in the League Cup this season. Limerick can raise their game when they want to. I was at that Bray game, and it wasn't a case of the home team not caring, at least from my perspective.

    I think Limerick could live with any of the bottom five in the PD when it comes right down to it.

    That cork under 18 team wont offer much in the prem and as for Bray.....prob one of the worst sides ive seen in some years and we have beaten them 3 times in the last 15 months scoring 4 goals in each game

    In fairness, your team should technically be well capable of holding their own in the Premier. The only weak point in the team is the backline. That's about it as far as I see.

    Cant agree with this either, Pat Purcell is a player I'd definitely be keeping on from the games I did manage to make this season. A bit of pace around him needed maybe but his plus points outweigh any minuses.
