    How Many Goals Will First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC Score This Season

    After tonights exhibition game against cobh a lot of the talk was around how many goals First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC will score during their footballing showcase this season.

    Just to clarify after three games First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC have scored 15 (FIFTEEN) goals.

    At the moment the smart money seems to be around the 140 to 160 range. There have been a few cocky people around the 170 to 200.

    Me personally? I think that over the course of the season there will be some weeks where we purposely don't bother playing so as to make the rest of the division look good. First Division Champions 2016 Limericks FC need a strong league every bit as much as the league needs a strong First Division Champions 2016 Limericks FC. It would be remiss of us to render nearly half the clubs in the league completely irrelevant.

    As a result I'm going for 108.

    How many goals does everyone else think First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC will score?

    Include or exclude those scored in matches where you had points deducted(*) ?

    Well if Dundalk haven't been deducted points for this one, no one will.

    I'm going to go with 167 with 40 of them coming against Shels.

    Where, when ?

    Anyway, as I indirectly said in the 18/19th thread, this final total could well boil down to if or not Div 1 opponents of Limericks remaining 2016 promotion parade annoy us by trying to score consolation goals or not. As Waterford & Cobh found out, this is not smart. It only leads to more Limerick goals.

    Its a variable making a present final goal tally prediction very difficult.

    Just keep it under the 78 mark... it took us over 80 years to break the previous record.

    A follow-up - not entirely jokey - question is: will any team other than Limerick have a positive goal difference at the end of the season?

    Limerick have probably a midtable premier team maybe just above that
    There also full time compare to other teams in division one from 60 70mins on iv noticed in just 3 games fitness is a major telling factor Limerick were just 1up v cobh after 60mins cobh started to run out of steam while Limerick kept going until 90mins and scored another 5.

    So I expect Limerick to run up a huge goal difference between there extra quality and fitness.

    I think Limerick will get a lot more goals than you got last year & a lot more goals than you will get next year when you are relegation fodder once again in the Premier div. Perhaps you should save some of your goals for when you are playing with the big boys once again

    You wouldn't have ran up them scores against Wexford or Harps last season .
    UCD seemed too have regressed alot aswell Benson was a massive loss to them.

    In fairness, our result against Limerick was at least in part down to being down to ten men for 60+ minutes.

    Benson's a loss of course. We'll probably end up like last season - picking up form as the season goes on. Remember we got three points from the first four games last year, and got knocked out of the League Cup First Round by Cabo.

    I've always thought UCD to be slow starters with the turnover of players. I expected them to get stronger as the season goes on.

    UCD always get better after exams are done (that sounds like a joke but it's true). A couple of the squad are still in secondary school.

    The Limerick Globetrotters should be giving teams a two or three goals headstart really. Maybe start taking players off and not replacing them or putting lads in goals if they're scoring too many.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    What are the odds that Limericks is season will go t!TS up amid internecine rivalries, and UCD will win the 1st division instead.

    Limerick have not strengthened from last seaso really where they were relegated. What makes them mid table Premier all of a sudden?

    They're full time. That makes a huge difference in the First Division.
