Weekend Latest (w/e 20 May)

[CSFShels]

We played well, deserved a point at least. Missing three of our starting back four was hard but Hope was immense! Who made that tackle on Cowan in injury time? Should have been red.
Twas Conan, why should it have been red? Because it was in injury time? It wasn't particularly dangerous, and you weren't in any great goalscoring position. It was simply a foul to waste time and avoid an attack starting before it got serious. Simple cynical yellow card that he was more than happy to pick up.

20 May 2011 Limerick 1 - 0 Finn Harps Jackman Park

Limerick picked up a good 1-0 win at home to Harps. What is happening to the Harps. 0 wins in 11 games is shocking. Where is it all going wrong?

Harps have been shocking all season. The amount of confidence and mood around Harps at the start of the season was something we haven't seen in ages and it's just turned on it's head. The crowds keep dipping, nearly under 500 a game now which is shocking for Harps given the fanbase thats traditionally there.
Quietly confident that we can climb up to mid-table over the 2nd half of the season easily, but we just need to at least start scoring goals. The confidence is at rock bottom though and it's something Pizza and Felix need to address asap.

What was a non-event of a first half for you was a f*cking great performance for us! With a better final ball on a couple of occasions we might have even taken the lead :shock:
What we didn't need was to concede an early 2nd half goal, and of course thats exactly what we got. As you say it could have been anything after that. Our goal keeper and our centre half Victor are particularly bad.

Definitely I'd agree, even in the second half, whoever was captain (no 4) and the right winger (no 2) never gave up and offered everything still chasing down, even at 3-0.

truely dire game - even by the standards of Bohs/Pats games - no questioning the commitment of the players but sadly lacking in any element of skill (except for the goal by Kavanagh to be fair). Only other talking point was Tomney bottling the penalty call (stone waller) and proving the age old adage "too err is human, to really screw up takes an LOI referree. Alledged comments by the ref to Heary are contempable and, if true, the club should make an official complaint.

Pats deserved the win (insofar as anyone did) being the slightly less awful of the teams. Apart from the goal (and the aforementioned penalty call) it was a game barren of any entertainment. Only "highlight" (used in the broadest sense) from a Bohs perspective was the return (although chronically lacking match fitness) of Fagan and Cronin. Bohs home record is definately a mater of concern - our away form is excellent - and hopefully getting two more experienced players back will help.

What am I looking at, the empty seats? Owen Heary doing Platoon

[born2bwild]

I've never seen him foul a player like that, but even with the benefit of the doubt (mis-timed? Accidental?) he should have been sent off. Still, Conan was deliberately kicked in the ankle very early in the first half -yer man (Skelly) only got a yellow for that so everyone's happy, eh?

Heary being raptured.
