How to beat the Lims!

[Estar]

Limericks game plan, sit back and let opposition attack and get them on the break (usually route one, when with the wind).

Midfield very average. Keeper and right back not great. Center backs rock soild try and bring them outfield if possible. But the key to beating them is just be patience and not try and force things.

:p :p :p :D :D

Come on the Tribesmen!!!

[maineman]

You hav'nt seen limerick play that much by your comments,forget it it's division 1 next season again for ye.

[gael353]

i know your taking the mick but please you left out one vital component..a ref who adds on 8 mins for ye to equalize. Oh and the right back...captan of the irish under 19 team???:)

You'd want to be very patient - we haven't been beaten in 10 games. :) Although we shouldn't really correct you in your views, rather just hope that every one else in Kildare thinks the same when they come to the Pike.

And sure that match will probably be academic anyway. :)

In all fairness lads, if ye don't make the playoffs and go up, I'd say ye will only have a hand full of players next season. IMO Limerick are not good enough for the Premier Divison, if ye go up ye'll come straight back down. The only club that could go up and stay i'm sad to say is Bray.

Hope ye prove me wrong. Where is the best place to go for a drink (the ball and chain won't be with me) before a game in Pike? Is the bar in the Parkway still on the go ? No names of pubs in South hill!:D

You're probably right there sadly...we will lose a lot of our good players. O'Flynn is rumoured to be linked with Pats and maybe Cork City. Finny will be snapped up. O'Mahoney will surely play at a higher level. Longford have just shown an interest in Paddy Purcell. Sweeney will get a premier club, and if Derek keeps improving as he has been, then he'll get a move too. I think thats what we'll lose, .i.e. everything!:(
I think Harps could survive. They'd get big gates, and have a few quid to spend. Bray, I'm not so sure of, and Dublin City will come back down quicker than....well, I won't say.
The best places to get a drink before the match are, presuming you're getting the train, Charlie St Georges, big rugby / sporting pub straight across from the station, or Patsy Nicholas, big sporting pub, turn right at station gates, and go 300 metres down the road on to Gerald Griffin St.

[Estar]

Trying to get a crew together, a non drinker will drive, hope its not me.

Do Charlie St Georges or Patsy Nicholas do B&B?:D We will drink win lose or draw, more so if we lose.:cool:

Estar, are you sure you haven't been watching our GAA team? :rolleyes:

This route one rhetoric is ironic coming from you lot (I know that horses have hooves but you take hoofing to extremes sometimes). The midfield has a player who's played underage at several levels for Ireland (up to U-19) and was once nominated for Irish Junior player of the year in Brendan Sweeney, a Cork City target in Brendan Hughes, Ross Cosgrave who played with Waterford in the Premier last season.

The right back who you say isn't great is a current Irish U-19 international. People with much more clout in the game than anybody from Kildare has ever had clearly think much more of him than you do! :)

But anyway, I wouldn't pay much heed to any of what you said. Once we get a result off Galway we'll have avoided defeat against every other team in this division over the last series of games.

And as well as that Kildare fans raved about Ciarán Foley which says a lot about the type of football they're into at Station Road... :rolleyes:

By the way, why not just use the bar at Pike???

well that certainly wasn't me or anyone I know. My feelings about the "balding greg louganis" are well documented.

Limerick play a good brand of football..no dispute there.

County fans are debating whether Eric Hannigan should be sacked . A limerick fan posted on our messageboard

"Eric Hannigan is the best manager Limerick ever had"......says it all really
:( :mad: :(

There was definately a Kildare County branch of the CF fan club (Deise Deserter was President of the Limerick branch :))

What is your message board addy, I'd be interested in following that discussion myself!

[Countyman]

you are more than welcome. The official forum was shut down because of dissenting voices and since it repoened a post calling for hannigan to step down was deleted . I know you value free speech so avoid that one.

try the new one (with no censorship) County Supporters forum (http://kildarecounty.irishfootie.net)

[Estar]

Didn't know Limerick had a GAA team?

Ross Cosgrave who played with Waterford in the Premier last season. Is that a fact?

The right back, your seem to fancy him a lot.

As for your team style, what can I say sometimes ye can be very direct.

And as well as that Kildare fans raved about Ciarán Foley which says a lot about the type of football they're into at Station Road... :rolleyes: Its a great to know hes not playing, loved scoring against County.

By the way, why not just use the bar at Pike??? OOH we will make use of it!!!! Never in the Pike before.


Lets get it on!!

[deise deserter]

Being originally from Waterford myself ;) I can tell you that SLK has astonishingly made a slip. Ross Cosgrave never played Premier football with Waterford last season - he played it this season. Rumours abound as to why he was left go - whether it was down to him or to conduct not befitting is all up in the air. However he has recently started gelling with the team and I think he was definitely a good signing for us.

SLK (making up for that mistake ;) ) has quite clearly listed a rake of reasons that discount your initial argument.

Liek the way you resorted to the "Dub journalism" technique in your last post - really points out Kildares' independance from the capital!;) :rolleyes:

Coming from a suburb of Tallaght, you'd appreciate the fine art of gun toting and drug dealing....enjoy:)

[Countyman]

As everyone knows Cork is the real capital of ireland but I digress.

Being close to the biggest city in Ireland has its advantages too...dont get me wrong.

For international soccer and rugby games I can make Lansdowne in an hour on a good day.

For top international rock concerts like Metallica and Red Hot CHilli Peppers it only takes about 45 minutes and I dont need to fork out for b&b's and hotels.

Croke Park too is only a 45 minute drive away..then again thats a place Limerick footballers and hurlers dont see too often.

For flights to far away places or boats to the UK or continent I too make the airport and docks in under an hour.

I have a plethora of fine dining and pubs within a 25 mile radius with an extensive array of beautiful women of all nationalities . (Remember the ratio of single women to men up here is about 6 to 1...pity I'm engaged);)

With christmas looming I have an extensive choice of shopping plazas to choose from all within a 30 minute drive.


Although I detest the jealous views many of you have regarding our affliation to County Dublin I am just pointing out some of the advantages of being from a County that borders our Nations Official Capital.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

..as for the disadvantages :rolleyes:

Glad to see that you are finally accepting that you are part of Dublin. Limerick fans have really done you a service.

It is hard living outside of Dublin alright not having any shops, restaurants, pubs, airports, roads or women. :rolleyes:

As for your statistic about the gender ratio - even if it wasn't a lie - it doesn't make you better off. Have you seen the state of Dublin women. Fair City it ain't! :)

[joeSoap]

Woman: Female of species, normally 2.5 feet tall, covered in fleecy white substance;make baaaaa sound;rampantly abused throughout the curragh and surrounding towns;outnumber kildare men by 6 to 1.:D :D

dont knock it until you've tried it :o

[joeSoap]

maybe ye should have signed a few of them this season...at least when one of them gets suspended, you can play it and pass it off as another....they all look alike!!:D :D

You should scream that out load in the pike and around Southill when your down - the locals will think your hilarious. They might even do a demonstration for you :p

This thread is so good i am very tempted to use it for part of the comedy section in the fanzine.

hey slk... i seem to remember a photo of you appearing on the network 54 messageboard last year closely resembling the appearence you mention above. :D

I'm no rocker by the way...just appreciate good music no matter what the genre.

[Countyman]

hey gael,

with a mop like yours you can hardly be laughing at other peoples hair ;)

[joeSoap]

Maybe we can have a little half-time fashion show...ye can all compare ye're locks and mullets then??:)

[JohnD]

All our supporters, myself excluded!! have dodgy haircuts especially Desie and Gael:p . Dar is cleaning up his act a small bit.

Maybe we could have a sponsered hair cut for the Lims:ball:

[Countyman]

Who is the shaven headed fellow wearing the (ireland/limerick) tracksuit top in station road at our recent meeting?

is he any of you guys? He had an air of authority of him.

I was going to say hello but he looked too damn scary (thought it might be Lims fan) :)

[deise deserter]

If it a big tall loud guy, I'd say you mean Damien O'Neill. Don't be scared, I'm sure one of your "nags" could even take him!!;)

hey hey, there is nothing in the world worse than a mullet. Except for maybe skintight jeans. And I have neither, I'd prefer to think of my hair as being alternative-ish but will concede that really it's closer to just scruffy (though I did get it trimmed recently) :)

I was wondering who that fella was myself Deise. What about that fella behind the goals versus Athlone who attempted to throw the ball out to Stevo to take a corner but instead managed to throw it through a tiny gap behind an advertising board scuppering Limericks efforts of taking a quick corner. He looks to be one of our most passionate fans, a real character i'd say, it wouldn't be the legendary Lims Fan by any chance?

[deise deserter]

.. not the famous Limsfan. He frequents the boards here - Damien however is not "net-friendly."

That was Lims fan yes. :)

..as SLK says, it was limsfan and yes he is quite a character!

That was funny alright, the fella next to me says "Will you look what that stupid b@*t@*d's after doin lads" , and everyone around just nodded with a chorus of expletives!

Who was the loud fella giving the referee loads after the hop-ball incident,when the Athlone player kicked out and only got a yellow? And, who was selling the fanzines?

[sadloserkid]

Maybe we should all just provide photographs for identification purposes? :)

[joeSoap]

maybe 4tothefloor is a spy for the revenue or something??:D

[4tothefloor]

Hardly, with the money situation at Limerick FC!

I'm actually a spy for Kilkenny City - we're trying to sign a few fans for next year :p

[sadloserkid]

Kilkenny have already taken Mrs.Browne from us, what more do they want??? :)

Speaking of which I noticed that Bubbles, David Dunphy and Frankie were all absent from the Cats line-up this weekend. What gives?

Actually that's important. Don't get sent off - especially when you are 4-0 down. Limerick are very difficult to beat in that situation. :)
