[Lim till i die]

how did peter hynes play for limerick?




Given reports from other people I've actually been amazed by how hard the guy has been trying, almost too hard at times and he ends up frustrated with poor touches.

Started on the right wing tonight, was switched to the left midway through the first half, put himself about even if he looked a bit uncomfortable.

Second half then O'Flynn went off and he got a half upfront, won nearly everything in the air, held up the ball when it came in to feet, gave a lovely through ball for Sheehans goal and took his own goal really well on his left foot from just outside the box.

If he's any way interested at all he could actually turn out to be an asset.








Salthill are absolute hoss though.

;) :p

[Longfordian]

It's whether he stays interested or not that's the problem with Hynes, he has lots of ability and generally starts off well wherever he goes.

[bullit]

F/T @ Oriel :
Dundalk 2 - 1 Monaghan

[Longfordian]

LTFC 0 Derry 1. Last minute winner for Derry. Harsh on Town who were worth at least a draw, hit the bar and missed a few sitters. Derry missed a penalty as well though. Encouraging stuff from the Town overall I thought.

[Dillonman]

Must say, thats another handy Monaghan team. I'd be weary of Dave Rogers playing central defence though!

[**FrOsTy**]

Obviously we won't be playing Fingal.. Our game against them set for Sat Feb 26 is not against Sham Rovers in Tallaght Friday Feb 25 at 8 o clock.

[Ezeikial]

Hard working, physical side. Mons heads have every reason to be optimistic going into the new season

[Magicme]

Aye, you must say coz I gave you a fiver to! :D

[Ezeikial]

Aye, you must say coz I gave you a fiver to! :D

What? A fiver? It was a tenner in tonight. Send on the balance asap please

[bullit]

Aye, you must say coz I gave you a fiver to! :D
Were'nt you well looked after with a good seat and coffee at H/T,all for a miserly fiver ;)

[Magicme]

1. I didnt get coffee. 2. the fiver was a bribe to Dillonman 3. I had to steal a seat from John Farrell whoever he is!! :D

[bullit]

I had to steal a seat from John Farrell whoever he is!! :D
You had to steal a seat in a stand full of seats !! ?? In a ground FULL of seats :confused:
Do tell :D

[Magicme]

Well it had this geezars name on it but I sat on it anyways. Once a rebel......:D

[Dillonman]

1. I didnt get coffee. 2. the fiver was a bribe to Dillonman 3. I had to steal a seat from John Farrell whoever he is!! :D

What? I got no fiver!

[Magicme]

Oh dear, but you were the old guy with the beard right???

[bullit]

Oh dear, but you were the old guy with the beard right???
No that was EZEKIAL:bigsmile: LOL

[Magicme]

Hey Dundalk lads thanks for cheering me up. You are still gits and all though.

[Town Legend]

Was No. 10 for the Town young Dawson from the now deceased Sporting Fingal franchise? Looked handy enough whoever he was. Very postive performance tonight from us, should of at least got a draw. Was impressed with Hope and Morley when he came on. Here's looking forward to a decent season ahead!

[Longfordian]

Yeah Kevin Dawson was no. 10, appears to be the lad from Fingal judging by his pic on their site. He had a quiet game overall but he could be useful if he signs. Liked the look of Morley too, he's signed apparently.

[Dillonman]

Oh dear, but you were the old guy with the beard right???

Im not old!

[pineapple stu]

I'm thirty-seven!

[qwertyger]

From playing Salthill and Mervue in the last week, how do you feel they will fair out this season?
Will they both be at the foot of the table again or have they any good players signed up? Have any team benefited from Galway's plight?
Can someone move this to the top for me as it wasn't answered?

[D.24saint]

Is is true that the FAI want 300 quid for any friendly involving a LOI side, €150 for the ref and €75 for each lino.Its a bit much especially if the game is against a non league team in their ground.

[pineapple stu]

I think the officials want that, not the FAI. But yeah, there is something like that even for sanctioned friendlies.

[D.24saint]

Id imagine if the game is sanctioned you cant use a local ref you would have to use one off the FAI list only conjecture on my part but sounds plausible.

[sligoman]

Our game against them set for Sat Feb 26 is not against Sham Rovers in Tallaght Friday Feb 25 at 8 o clock.So who is it against then, are we meant to guess?

[Dodge]

Athlone hosting Pats tomorrow at 3pm apparently but haven't seen either club mention anything

[Magicme]

Dodge have you not heard that Athlone Town signed some official secrets act so they do not release any details at all....about anything. Or so their fans will say!

[Dodge]

Not the worst policy in this league in fairness

[poster]

Gonna guess that's at AIT?

[Nesta99]

Is is true that the FAI want 300 quid for any friendly involving a LOI side, €150 for the ref and €75 for each lino.Its a bit much especially if the game is against a non league team in their ground.

Different rates are charged for teams involved from different levels(premier division/first division teams). Im told that it was €150 for each lino at our recent friendly with a local MDL Dundalk side, and €500 for the ref. Open to correction here as of course these things are prone to exaggeration.
.

[Longfordian]

Apparently if there's a Premier Division team involved at all then the match officials are paid at the highest rate, think it usually amounts to over 700 in total. If two non Premier Division teams play each other then it's less, can't remember exactly how much less.

[**FrOsTy**]

So who is it against then, are we meant to guess?

Sorry, my bad! That was meant to read NOW against.

[Jofspring]

Another Shels friendly cancelled. Is that 3 now? Bray, Fingal and now Bohs.

700. this has to be the least value for money ever
