Limerick, first division champions

[gael353]

Great great news to wake up to.

you and your drinking problem

[MeathDrog]

Barely started. Not much info tbh, a lot of different opinions being bandied about.

That's disappointing.

[CraftyToePoke]

but so happy for the players, the club, the chairman and the city.

And county. Plenty people I know make the trip every other week from outside the city.

Still taking this in, feels brilliant. Absolutely delighted.

Still doesnt feel real to me.

After 13 years of it am i finally going to get to see something other then the graveyard.

I was around during the last promotion season, my first game was League Cup fixture Vs N.C.W. in 90/91 time, not sure which, was very young, but in the meantime we have almost ceased to exist so many times, and been nomadic around the city to an extent also, that tonight is very special. The best moment in my time following the club and so much to look forward to, cant wait for the fixtures.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I've been following this club since I was a kid (I suppose 96/97), with varying degrees of interest as I moved to and from the city through the years. I remember going down the road to Hogan, and hearing my Dad talk about how the Market's Field used to be, about FAI Cup wins way before my time. I remember reapplications, and listening to the League Cup win on the radio, and stadium moves and stadiums moves and stadium moves.

I can add that picture of O'Connell to them now, and my Dad singing down the phone to me when I told him the score because the bloody teletext wasn't working!

This is a hell of a culmination to that process. Back in the top tier at last. Going to be on tv. In video games. New stadium, at some point. Away games in Dublin again, Sligo and Shamrocks coming for visits. A great time for the club.

[Lim till i die]

The party starts tomorrow.

Just in from the pub .

People say the birth of your child is the greastest time of your life.

Those people haven't followed Limerick for 17 years.

Arguably the greatest night of my (admitedly underwhelming) life.

Andy Dufrane crawled through 500 yards of **** to freedom. I've crawled through 500 games.

I love you all very much.

Even the Galway lads.

I guess I'm the only one who feels strangely anti-climactic about it all! :P Ah no, it would have been nice to get that massive release when a final whistle blew but I'll take this all day long. I've only put in 12 years and spent most of that time believing I'd never see us promoted if I'm honest. It's a great moment for all of us and I plan on enjoying it, starting today with our now celebratory trip to Longford. Happy days.

You're in the big leagues now lads, and most of you are new so a few pointers


1) We all wear suits. NO riff-raff.
2) 10-15% tip to your ticket seller is standard
3) You cannot ever discuss the first division. We don't know about and don't want to know aboout it

Enjoy

Thank God ye stopped wearing those Spandex suits

Sadly this one has more than a ring of truth to it.

Big Well done to Limerick

I was working with a guy from Boston in a language school here when the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. They ended up winning the series 4-0, and, while ecstatic, he was also disappointed it had been so easy in the end. I guess he wanted the 11th inning home run in game 7 kind of finish. It's only natural as a sports fan I suppose.

[BonnieShels]

Happy days. Been a struggle at times, but so happy for the players, the club, the chairman and the city.

You could say you never felt better.

[Straightstory]

Congrats!!

[BonnieShels]

Congrats lads. Delighted to see you up.
Will never forgive ye for "that" night but I would say the relief is like nothing else.

Luimnigh abú!

I was thinking the same as that lastnight i didn't really want Mervue to score a 2nd but when they did i went bloody mental.

[cornflakes]

Congrats to Limerick

[bluemovie]

Congratulations, Limerick! Long time coming. I knew ye'd stumble over the line eventually.

[El-Pietro]

congratulations no club deserves that long in the first, look forward to beating ye home and away next year!

now, get that ground sorted so the FAI have no excuses to keep ye down

[SwanVsDalton]

Well dome Limerick. Good to seem them back in the big(ish) time.
