Very good assessment of the game. Very even game, separated by a wonder strike from McEleney. Dundalk certainly aren't the team they were last season, but only Cork might stop them from a 4 in a row.
Very happy with how Limerick played, although we did struggle to create any clear cut chances. Top half is the minimum expected now. Also to back up the previous comment, Tommy Robson at left back is a serious player for Limerick.
Myself and a few of the lads around me were checking the program to see who he was. Looks a fantastic player.
Looked a stonewall penalty to me but a mate behind the goal said it wasn't I suppose we'll find out on Monday night. Dundalk also had what looked a definite penalty turned down in second half so they evened out I suppose.
Tommy Robson is on loan from Sunderland. Was captain of their youths and got a start last season against watford in the premier.
Let's just assume he meant to say first hat-trick, in that case it looks like they'll be erecting a statue to Athlone Town's Brian Duff so. 15/09/85. That's nice of them.

Brian Duff, now that's a blast from the past. I met him at a Dundalk event pre match last season, nice fella. He won fai cup with us in 1981, good service to Athlone too. Hardly anyone on here will remember but he was with another ex Dundalk player & that guy did something I think that has not been repeated since in a modern times fai cup final.
His name was John Archbald, older Dlk will know, good quiz question. 1981 cup final. Dlk v Sligo. Anyone ?

He did indeed, first goal that day, Mick Fairclough with the second. Funny thing, Archbald told me he knew with the wind that day he had a good chance of scoring direct.

A blast from the past indeed, I remember him scoring twice for Galway(and gave a brilliant individual performance) in an exciting 3-2 win over Bohemians at Terryland. Don't remember how long Duff stayed at Galway for, maybe just the one season. A very good player, was at Liverpool in his younger days of course.
I see Shelbourne got a last minute equaliser v Cobh yesterday. Good result for them away from home. Anybody go down to see that ? Anyone know why it was an afternoon kick off?
ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.

How did Sligo Pats play out? A game i'd have expected Pats to sneak a win. Tough start to the season for both
