Limerick FC vs Longford Town 21/8/09

[LFC-Zulu]

Right, we're playing Fairview in Fairgreen on Saturday, but we return to LOI duties on the 21st against the fallen giants Longford in Jackman Park.

Should be interesting to see the attendance, seeing as the match was advertised so much at the Ireland game last night. Also excited to see Stephen O' Flynn to start his first game at home. Two goals in two games, off the back of a great win against Harps, should be a good watch.

What ye think?

My Prediction: 3-0

[Martinho II]

I for one will be there I will go for a three two loss like last season...

[bluewhitearmy]

Fallen giants not a bit much?

[Longfordian]

First time anyone's ever described us as giants I'd reckon. Ye're the fallen giants if anything!. It'll be a tight game I'd reckon though we'll be missing McCarthy who's generally a dominant figure at the back, for good or for bad. We've another game to worry about before this one however.

[macka]

limerick to win 2-0.

[Monkfish]

Match started at 7pm:rolleyes:

Limerick 1 up at the mo, lot of changes been (and to be made yet) expect a few more goals either way.

[Martinho II]

[Monkfish]

99% sure it will be 7.45 as per usual.

Fairview 1 v 2 Limerick FC for anyone that cares. Treacy and o'Flynn (3 from 3 now :))
Fairview scored with last kick of the game. Basically Limerick took the **** for 90mins.

[bluewhitearmy]

Id have thought Limerick B would have put up more of a fight to be fair limerick strolled it and if they had stepped it up could have scored way more. Have to love the celebrations from fairview man with the 70s hairstyle when they scored.Pitch was perfect seeme to suit us more also great to see paddy back.

[lfc at heart]

and limerick asked for a fee for this game dats a joke man:mad: surely it cant be true i know yer stuck and all

sure dont ye charge a fee to watch ye play on a sunday morning,

[gael353]

and limerick asked for a fee for this game dats a joke man:mad: surely it cant be true i know yer stuck and all

get ur facts right "striker 9", Limerick asked for no such thing, paid all the expences of the game (refs etc) used Limerick FC balls and were lucky to have the excellent pitch lined only ten mins before the game.

you had an ok game yourself but think midfield is your better position.

You seen the quality on show, you want that then you gotta pay the coin. Fairview fooling themselves again this year, Pike shall not be moved if thats the standard of opposition they'll face.

Thought he meant the Longford game, yano, hence the name of the thread. :rolleyes:

Why then did you mention the Fairview game? I mean you started the thread, named it and took it off topic in one go.

[LFC-Zulu]

ya pure quality pity ye cant do in yere own division surely yere a premier division team;)
I definitely think ye are gonna catch Pike out this year. :rolleyes:

[Jofspring]

Limerick 2-1 Longford

(O Flynn, Tierney)

This will probably be a poor enough game. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of their last match down here last season. Beat us 3-1 if i remember correctly and they weren't doing very well at that stage.

[Monkfish]

ya pure quality pity ye cant do in yere own division

We are merely a mid-table 1st Div club. Which makes the fall in standard of a lot of Limerick junior clubs the last few years all the more upsetting.
Pike are ok, and theres a few decent players here and there but its gone downhill compared to 10 years ago.

Now give it a rest John, the majority of us are not good enough for the LOI just like you but theres no need to be bitter.

Limerick 1 - 1 Longford
Longford on a high after there fine cup win away to Galway, we'll get a point thanks to a Stephen O'Flynn (watch him and learn Mr Grant) diving bicycle volleyed backpassed header in the 94th min.

[LK37oldskool]

[bluewhitearmy]

:D did you play in that game striker 9?

[Monkfish]

Think hes the guy on the crutches going over to hit someone, pace and movement are the same anyway. :eek:

[bluewhitearmy]

Has he gotten that much faster must have really put in the work.

[Monkfish]

I recorded it myself. :D

[bluewhitearmy]

Was that not you?:D

[Martinho II]

whats the pitch like for tomorrow nights match lads considering the heavy rain over the country over the last two days?

Should hold up alright. Been through heavy rain than this and i don't think there has been any matches on it recently.

[Monkfish]

Plenty of Kilkee standard sand on the pitch to soak it up, no doubt there will be games off though.

[GenerationXI]

2-0 already!?!?!?!

God your out of a place for a month and look what happens!
:rolleyes:

[Denis The Red]

Limerick have just scored woohoo:rolleyes:. 1-4, what the f**k is going on???:mad:

[Denis The Red]

It's over Limerick 1-4 Longford. Couldn't get to the game tonight, could someone explain what the hell happened???

[blueblood]

What happened was that team aren't a patch on the team we had when Scully took over, first he destroved our midfield now he's destroved our defence and why doesn't he bring in a half decent keeper, what the hell is he up to :mad:.
P.s the ref and linesmen were also useless :confused:

[pimpong]

sorry to say but limerick will never get promoted..socking stuff tonight..no wonder everyone wants out

[Pious37]

Team ****e, Ref ****e, Everything ****e. What the hell is going on. The best thing that happened from a Limerick point of view all night was the scrap at the end and the handbags in the dugout

[Battery Rover]

why doesn't he bring in a half decent keeper,

Whats the story with big Davy Ryan

[SeniorBlue]

sorry to say but limerick will never get promoted..socking stuff tonight..no wonder everyone wants out


I drove home from Kilkee this evening to see that sh#ite, the only one who can have any pride tonight is Conor Molan. I'm disgusted, bloody hurlers made us feel like crap last week and now this crap. For anyone of the three hundred others that bothered to turn up, tell me how we have gone so backward, i believed in Scully but two four goal hammerings at home and i'm seeing players leaving well i'm rapidly changing my mind

[Pious37]

gotta be trouble in house. Why are players coming and leaving almost immediately. Seams strange. Same old ****e. Someting needs to be done but as always it wont. Feel sorry for all the people who voluneer only to be let down on the field. Fingers crossed for future

horrible result..what was the team and who scored

[bluewhitearmy]

Team was Ryan storan molan purcell(sheehan) deady ryan(mcgrath) hughes kavanagh treacy o flynn kelleher(lyons). molan got our goal. Shocking stuff disgusted.

[L37Ultra]

Glad I missed this one.

Where is the passion the side had last season. Fair enough if the quality isn't there but from what I heard there was no pride in that side tonight.

Need to change something quickly,

Please explain?.. Are you telling me that Kavanagh, Roche, Stephen O' Flynn and Boylers aren't as good as the likes of Manjor, Scanlan, James Hayes and Brendan Daly????

I was in the blue jacket.

Good enough? ;) :p

[ped_ped]

Pitiful game of football. First 45 minutes were the worst I have ever seen, from both sides.

After that Longford were well on top and scored whenever they felt like it.

I respect Dave Ryan, think he's a quality 'keeper, but he was a disgrace tonight. Especially for the second and third goals.

Off the pitch, the atmosphere in the grounds was terrible. 322 people (seemed like alot less), none of the lads there for singing... it was even lovely weather for football, but there was a bit of a Sunday morning league feel to the whole thing... and unfortunately that was reflected in Limerick's play.
