QuoteWould be happy with a draw too. It'll be less of an occasion than the Cork game too, possibly give us a better idea of how we'll do week to week. We shouldn't be afraid going up there either though.
So we bring our galacticos away for the peasants of the country to see for the first time tonight. How do people think it will go?
Id be delighted with a draw myself.

The ball is round and has many surprises.

I'd be happy with an away point, they did well last year after all. A point with a clean sheet would be spot on.
Of course if we are two up after half an hour and put them away 3-0 or something like that, and in the process making the whole division nervous, I would accept that too.
We're in this space right now, after a good but pretty impotent performance against Cork, where I'm not sure just how good the team can be. So, its good to have a game against one of the top sides in the league so soon, and away, a real proper test of the teams current state and ability. Is Brown likely to play a role?

2 men and a manager sent off, 3 penalties given against and still get a draw.....that's a great result...close to all 3 points too.
What the hell happened up there lads?
I hope we get a decent match report because that sounded absolutely mental.
Anyone who has seen Graham Kelly's 'performances' in Jackman over the last few years wouldn't be a bit surprised. There's a lot more one could say but there is no point in having 2 threads closed down in one week!
There's nothing wrong in stating facts. I'm sure it was pure coincidence that both our sending offs were players of a certain ethnic group. These things happen especially when Limerick Fc have a greater ethnic diversisty than most other clubs. Still its all quite shocking what happened last night. Looks like the crap we had to put up from officials for the last few years is continuing.

Jesus lads ye would wanna be very careful before ye insinuate that the match referee may be a racist.
never said such a thing. Just saying it was a coincedence.

I had no intention of implying any ethnic bias by Mr. Kelly in my post. I just think he shouldn't be left near a league of Ireland game, simply not up to the job!
A very watered down report compared to what he was saying last night on extratime

3 of those 4 officials should never be let near a pitch again.

Why was the 4th changed, is p Sutton not doing it now?mns Monday night should clear it all up.
There is no-one to blame for Axels red but Axel imo. He had won the free get up and get on with it if you go running over to an opposition player like he did they will react the way Cassidy did every single time. Stupid stuff from Axel.
Sounds like a mental evening. Reds aside, its good to see Limerick challenging the better teams.
How did Browne get on before his exit?
i see gael is at it again,maybe our matchs should just have no officials...yawn.
Humble pie anybody!!!
Watching the MNS highlights:
I'd have little complaints about any Drogheda penalty, I think I've seen similar calls for all three both given and not given. Our penalty was certainly deserved.
For the reds, I can't really speak about Browne or Taylor, don't know what was said so I'm willing to give the ref the benefit of the doubt and assume it was over the line. As for Axel, it was nonsense. To call a square up of that nature "violent conduct" - the only thing that would justify a red in that situation - is to the immense discredit of the ref and his linesmen. The simulation was shocking to see, and an appeal process should be at least attempted, if only to call attention to that blatant bit of gamesmanship.

Browne's wasn't a red and the ref pretty much flashed the red before Browne even had a chance to speak to him so can't see how it was for dissent. The penalty calls were fine but the red cards were terrible knee jerk/OTT officiating.
