Has drom got a stand now?
If it does whats it like?

[pineapple stu]

No stand. Just a fence.

[bluewhitearmy]

Have they not had to get a stand to get into 1st division.

[pineapple stu]

Don't think so. You don't need a stand; just a picture of one.

[bluewhitearmy]

Its probably still better then Jackman anyway. All i think of when Drom is mentioned is wind.

when you are coming from galway city how do you go out to drom?

[stann]

Out the Clifden Road is handiest, I think. You can't turn directly right onto it though, have to go on to the next roundabout and then cut back.
It's a bit out, keep going until you pass Glenlo Abbey hotel on the right (can't miss this), and then it's the second left turn, down a rough enough road about a mile, through crossroads and it's just ahead on the right, it's signposted well enough, though it's not the first gate you think, it's just after that!

[juniorc]

The Clifden Road way is the easiest alright

[bluepowers]

back to match hopefully a limerick win im going 2-0 limerick (TIERNEY & CLARKE)

[limunlim]

I think we will pick up the points here. Without knowing anything about salthill, i will say 3-1 to lims

[KevB76]

salthill 2-3 Limerick. We missed 2 penalties. We came back fro
2 down to go in 2 all at half time. Should have been 2-4 by then Judgey had a great chance put wide and the 1st pen. Salthill had a man sent off. Tracey and Clarke (2)

[gspain]

Apart from the 5 goals, 2 missed penalties and the red card it was a pretty boring game.

Thought we were blessed to win it. Did the winner cross the line? I was right behind the goal and didn't think so and there were no claims. Salthill Devon must be totally sick.

On possession and chances we deserved to win but for guts, determination and decent football albeit pretty robust they were worth their first point.

Getting the goal back so quickly after going 2-0 down was crucial. I thought we'd go on to win easily then after equalising before halftime. 1st penalty was stonewall but keeper
should have walked as it was a clear goalscoring opportunity. We had another stonewall penalty turned down in the 2nd half but then the 2nd one was soft. Why did Shane Treacy take both?
Both hit the righthand post.

Thought the red card was right as it looked a terrible 2 footed challenge. Not sure why the home bench were incensed. Maybe something happened in the lead up????

I didn't think the goal was coming. Thought the keeper made a superb save and was stunned when the ref gave the goal. Only one of our fans seemed to think it was in.

I suppose it makes up for the point we lost and probably deserved in Waterford.

Was there many out there?

A win is a win and still 3pts, looks like Clarkey is off on a streak now, hopefully he'll get another 2 v Wexford Youths next Friday.

I had a pretty good view of it and I didn't think it was even a foul.

[bluepowers]

it did cross the line ..... win is a win could have been 5 or 6 to limerick but salthill showed great heart

All the Lim players near the ball ran off celebrating as did the fans?
The linesman flagged for a goal straight away .
I said goal straight away because it looked like it crossed the line to me.

Not until the referee gave it!!!!!!

As for the red card - I was straight across from it and it was a dangerous 2 footed challenge.

how are the facilities there at drom? better or worse than jackman?:ball:

[Xile]

They don't have a stand... but their club house was nice :o

[Jofspring]

how are the facilities there at drom? better or worse than jackman?:ball:

Ten times better than Jackman. Very nice clubhouse, 8 small astra turf pitches, another decent sized astra turf one and 3 pitches. The one Limerick played on last night was very small though which made it very tight. From the looks of things up there they are a club that deserve to porgress.

On the playing front we where very lucky to come away with the win in the end. It looked to be one of those nights that no matter what Limerick did we weren't going to score. Tierney stood out again for me. He put in some serious work around the pitch.

[bluewhitearmy]

Wouldn't exactly call it lucky that we won we had a load of chances and missed 2 pens.
We had more of the ball and created more chances.
They made it tight and kicked most things that moved.

Well me and the lads next to me were gone over to Clarkie who was celebrating straight away not that it matters it was given it was over the line and we got 3 points.

Nice pitches and nice clubhouse. But would prefer to go to a game in Jackman any day. No stand no shop and standing on a hill next to a bog was not the best match experience.

[Lim till i die]

Was there many out there?

I counted 106 (was that kind of an evening!!!)

Limerick fans probably in the majority.

[sean r]

how do i get a limerick badge next to my name?

First you must prove your worth, it has to be earned.

[dahamsta]

Then there's the spinning around while singing the Cambodian national anthem, the sample of skin from the nape of the neck...

bluewhitearmy, a tip for you (http://foot.ie/faq.php?faq=faq#faq_multiquote). The screenshot is wrong but I think you'll figure it out!

[sean r]

ok here it goes the cambodian national anthem



English Translation

1
Heaven protects our King
And gives him happiness and glory
To reign over our souls and our destinies,
The one being, heir of the Sovereign builders,
Guiding the proud old Kingdom.


2
Temples are asleep in the forest,
Remembering the splendour of Moha Nokor.
Like a rock the Khmer race is eternal.
Let us trust in the fate of Kampuchea,
The empire which challenges the ages.

3
Songs rise up from the pagodas
To the glory of holy buddhistic faith.
Let us be faithful to our ancestors' belief.
Thus heaven will lavish its bounty
Towards the ancient Khmer country, the Moha Nokor.

[Monkfish]

I see no spinning!!!!

[Jofspring]

Wouldn't exactly call it lucky that we won we had a load of chances and missed 2 pens.

Lucky so far as it didn't look like that goal was going to come. Another night against the likes of Athlone or a team like that we might not have got the goal. Have to say i am not looking forward to the game against Athlone. They have conceeded only two goals and scored 3. They must be the most boring games in the league.

[gspain]

On chances and balance of play there is no doubt we deserved to win. However having missed them and scoring so late it felt like we got out of jail. SD will
feel they deserved a point for sheer guts and determination particularly when down to 10 men.

I thought John Tierney was clearly our best player as well. He always looked a threat.
