Last game of season V Limerick

[Keen2win]

I'm going for a 3-1 win for the Red n Black tomorrow night! It's the last game of the season, do ye think we'll get over 300 out to it?

[De Town]

It's the last game of the season, do ye think we'll get over 300 out to it?
Nope, the usual 150/200 I'd say.

Reckon it'll be a high scoring draw myself, 2-2, maybe 3-3.

[Keen2win]

Well I heard a few people talking about going to it! I'd say we will get a bit more than usual out to it.

[Longfordian]

Hopefully a few might have taken notice of last week's game and decide to head out. I like the look of 2-2 as well.

[Tallanted]

Be the same old people out there tomorrow night, reckon a close game that we might nick 3-2 or 4-2

And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final 90 minutes.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway (from tulsk to sligo....)
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few, like running my mouth off....
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do (all in the name for my love for my club..)
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course - (roadworks in strokestown not withstanding)
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew, (two hotdogs what was I thinking?)
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out. (hah!)
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill - my share of losing. (a lot of this lately :) )
But now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way -
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
I did it my way.

For what is a man? What has he got?
If not his Longford Football Club.. - Then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows (well that pats fan did..)
And did it my way.

Yes, it was my way.


Apologies for the above drivel... :) Last game of another season guys and gals.

[Longfordian]

Brings a tear to the eye and puke to the mouth.

[RonnieB]

puke to the mouth.

That's the bitter sweet taste of victory so it is!

[Longfordian]

I'm looking forward to tonight for once. Nothing at stake, and we're guaranteed goals I think.

[RonnieB]

A Lynch hat-trick or a hat trick of hat tricks...

[De Town]

Nothing at stake, and we're guaranteed goals I think.

That's that so, bank account has been placed on 0-0. :)

[Longfordian]

When was the last time we had a 0-0 actually, Harps at home was it?. I'd be fairly confident we'll let in at least one!.

[De Town]

Ha I know, overs is probably the bet in this one!

[RonnieB]

[Tallanted]

Poty Tom King
YPoty Justin Perrin

good to see a strokestown man picking up an award

[Martinho II]

good to see a strokestown man picking up an award

justin is extremely highly rated. he has bein with us over the last four years.. He trained a few times with the first team squad.. He also got played during preseason by Alan Gough and was rather badly treated when he wasnt asked back. I work with his dad at work will love to see him get a first team start next season..Delighted for him.

[RonnieB]

Fair play to Brian Mcarthy came over at the end as always. Wish him all the best if he ends up away from us next season.

Here-Here.

I might have voted Tom for player of the season but nobody came close to McCarthy for that little bit of crowd acknowledgement; the slight feeling that someone somewhere may have appreciated that fact that you showed up to stand in the wind and rain to watch their efforts week in and week out.

Good man Brian.

[Tallanted]

Clapped the fans every home and away game and even when he was sent off against monaghan he applauded the fans that gave him a standin ovation, he appreciated the fans as much as we did him, not enough genuine players like him left these days.

[Longfordian]

Yeah he seems like a really sound lad, was always available to chat to people after games. In an ideal world we'd keep hold of him as his contract is up with Bohs but he'll probably get a better offer from someone else.

[Acornvilla]

yeah on at the bray match i was watching the warm up and shouted 'i love you brian' and he took it well he seems a realy nice guy. he generally sems to apreciate the fact were there

[Keen2win]

Ye I don't like the way most of the players don't turn around to acknowledge Section O and barly lift their heads for the Stand! We might not be hugh in numbers but as someone else said, we're there, week in, week out!

Also a little thing, I'm surprised the Red n Black pack award wasn't given to Mick Lee??

[De Town]

Also a little thing, I'm surprised the Red n Black pack award wasn't given to Mick Lee??

Why? He was crap all season apart from about 5 games when he first broke into the team.

[Keen2win]

Well Adrian wasn't great either and with it being his first year and being from Longford and all!

[De Town]

Ah Murph was much better then Mick throughout the season. And it wasn't Mick's first season, made 1 or 2 appearances last season IIRC.

[Keen2win]

Thats a matter of opinion but I thaught Micky would have appealed more for the younger contingint who probably voted on that award!

[Acornvilla]

neither of them deserved an award
brian should have been given it if tom got poty

[Tallanted]

It was an award that the kids voted on and Adrian Murphy would have appealed because he was local and a regular in the team most weeks. It was more for the kids to be involved if anthin, wouldnt begrudge Muroh it, had a very good season by all accounts.

[Acornvilla]

average season at a push.. but have no problem with the guy winning. it will hopefully do him a bit of good!

[Tallanted]

For a striker who was played out of position on the right and compared to majority of other players in the squad i would hardly call it average. Gave 110% everytime he put the jersey on, sounds like your watchin too much of the premiership.

well being one of the better players of a very bad squad bar a few exceptions is in my books pretty average thats just my opinion. believe me i'm not watching enough premership, too much street league more like it :D and i know the lad gives his all i cant falt him for that. but at this moment in time his best wouldnt be good enough for most teams

[Martinho II]

Mick lee made his debut the season before last I think under Aaron Callaghan.. Aaron was asking about him when I spoke to him after the UCD game and said that it was him that gave him his debut..

[Martinho II]

Brian McCarthy is one of my favourite players to talk to.He sounds like hes very interested in what you says compared to certain other players..Anyone that gets on with ash gets on with me! Fair play to him for applauding us.. Yet again the players were going off the pitch on saturday and only for Brian calling them over nobody would have come over. Even when the players came over I dont think the whole squad for the night came over.

Oh by the way there is a conflict of opinion on who scored sat night? Over on section o we give it to Kevin Cronin. Who does anyone give the goal to? Tony Ghee gave it to Tom King a few people over that side gave it to Tom King. Im sure the ball touched Cronin on the way in! On Kevins Cronins facebook he is adamant that it is his and his first ever loi goal !

[Longfordian]

The defenders were all congratulating Cronin on the way back for the restart so I assumed it was him as well. Don't think Tony was too sure himself as he was kind of hesitant before saying it had been credited to Tom King.

[pineapple stu]

Anyone got a crowd guesstimate for this one? The only Longford gap I have!

[RonnieB]

200...

[L.T.F.C.]

200...

a sorry amount.
