Shels Friday

[Jofspring]

Big game coming up. Seems to already be a good buzz around about this game with the prospect of new players coming to the club in the next few weeks etc....which is good to see. I would take a draw right now, keep picking up points until the transfer window is the main aim at the moment while we wait for players to return from injury. Our main worry is going to be at the back. I can see Scully going for someone sitting infront of the back 4 to help protect them.

...................Barry Ryan....................

Tracey.....White.....McCarthy.....Frost....

....................Broughall..................... .

.....O Conner......O'Leary..........Judge....

............Breen............Hynes................

Its not ideal but with the players missing it looks like it could be our best option.

Predicition: 1-1 Att:840

[blueblood]

[Jofspring]

Another few weeks anyway it seems.

It'll be interisting how shels set out for this one, hopefully they'll be happy to settle for a draw, boring nil all draw would do the job, roll on july

[CraftyToePoke]

The injury and suspension situation would mean a draw would be acceptable in the present circumstances but with Shels, Cork and Monaghan away in the run in it would be great this nick this 1-0 and tighten up the race at the top, it would send a message.

We're going to find it tough with ten men:)

[LK37oldskool]

anyone got an update on Shane Trecey?

[bluewhitearmy]

This one will be a very tough game i think Paddy being suspended may be too much for us to take with the other injuries.

Would be delighted with a draw or a scrappy win like in Longford.

Will be a huge boost if Shane Tracy could be back for it but i have no clue how long he is out for.

Exactly what im afraid of think Paddy is the only one that could have stopped him.

[Jofspring]

Sean O Connor.....Disgrace.....That is all.

Sean O Connor.....Disgrace.....That is all.

5 at the back at home .......disgrace

Paudie Quinn same as O Connor

Gravan Broughall is he really a soccer player?

Scully bottles match against team ahead of us starting to get used to that.

[Jofspring]

Thought Broughall was doing his job and working hard. Agree Quinn was very poor also but O Connor should never be allowed play for Limerick again. Lack of effort and interest in every game.

Poor decisions from Scully but not the end of the world.

If we lost that game with a full team I would be more disgusted. We where weakend and Shels took advantage very professionally.

Frost is the biggest loss out of all of this. One match suspension for picking up 5 yellows and throw into that a red card which will probably add another 2 matches to that.

[thomas72]

WRong team selection again
Wrong players taken off how o Connor was left on I don't know.
Yet again in front of big crowd and again a promotion we bottle it o sorry the manager bottled it long ball after long ball with two lads up front 5,8in in height and scully stood there looking at it. It's a bad sign when the chairman is roaring at scully to get them to stop hoofing and attack more.

Being honest i dont care about who we were missing any team that is going for promotion playing 5 at the back at home is a disgrace.

How many times is it now that Scully has bottled big games?

I think Quinn is nearly lazy as O Connor being honest agree 100% that O'Connor should never play for the club again.

[harpin]

Since he's been at the club. I said it to a lad who's only been coming this season how quiet Scully will get after conceding the first.....against Derry last year he didn't even get out of the dugout

[fieldofmarkets]

Couldn't make the game tonight. Extratime updates said Frost was sent off after an altercation with Alan Mathews...what happened there?

[bluewhitearmy]

At the end of the day that was a horrible game but hopefully they react like they did last time after last loss went 10 unbeaten.

Still only 3 points off 2nd so if we get some players back we have a good chance in the next 3 games great to see Shane Tracy back.

Mathews was being a ********. O Connor went to get the ball off Mathews for a free kick and Mathews threw it away down the line. About ten minutes later Limerick had a throw and Mathews had the ball in his hands again, as Frost went over for the ball just as Frost went to get it from Mathews he threw it away again. Frost lets say took exception to this, he grabbed Mathews with both hands and had a few words at Mathews and vice versa. Frost got a second yellow for it and Mathews got sent behind the dugout. The first time Mathews threw away the ball everyone was calling for him to be sent away from the touchline as he shouldn't have been interfering with play and throwing the ball away to waste time but the ref did nothing about it. If the ref had sorted it first time or warned Mathews nothing would have happened. When Frost was given the red card I genuinely thought he was going to puck the head off Mathews.

Shels, Cork and Mons are yet to hit a poor patch which history has shown has hit pretty much every team trying to get out of the first division.

We still have a great record and hopefully it can continue.

Scully does go into hiding though when we go behind.

[bluewhitearmy]

Delete some of your inbox there Jof id say ya know what its about.

Playing 5 at the back for the first time was stupid, and invited the average shels team onto us. 5 3 2 ment we put no pressure on there immobile center halves and our midfield was being overrun by experience. Club to present the management with new assets soon but should we really be doing this when we play long ball and play five at the back with a few kids and o'connor (how in gods name did he stay in the pitch)

[Monkfish]

1. Shels deserved to win

2. Scully wtf! I know we have keys players missing but give it a go at least, 5 at the back! at home!

3. Story with Judge? why was he taken off so early and o'conner left on? (I think I know the answer already)

All in all pile of crap who's blame lands on Scullys door. As for the crack with the sending off and peno....no surprise really. Think the refs have been fair enough with us this year so it was only a matter of time. Pity as we were kinda getting into the game a bit at that stage.

So there ya go, do we pity ourselves to defeat in Wexford next week or do we rebound so hard we knock the nama out of wallace and get back on track? Cork and Mons took points off each other so lets fcuking have it! :bomb:

Yes seen as we were 10 unbeaten before lastnight.And i dont think we will be playing 5 at the back like that again.

Lastnight was a shambles from Scully but what has gone before it should not be forgotten. We will have to give him the chance to see can he change it when we have the new lads in but things have to change in the big games and he has to stop hiding in the dugout.


Like Monkfish was saying a lot depends on whether we go out feeling sorry for ourselves next week or whether we go out to prove a point.

[LK37oldskool]

Poor choices again from the manager. No home team attempting to go for promotion should ever play such negative football. 1 striker(small at that) up front was a disgrace.I dont want to rehash all thats been said previous but LFC have got to get over this "big crowd syndrome" thats been bugging them for years now. Back to the same couple of hundred again in a few weeks.
Shels were better but if we'd taken the game to them,made an effort and still lost it would'nt bother me or most of ye as much.
As for O'Connor WTF!!! don't think there's a junior club in town at any level that would have him. He is by far the worst player that has worn the blue jersey in years. There's an idea for a thread - Limerick Fcs worst ever player. I nominate SOC.:mad:

[da bishop]

really poor stuff in the first half,the message scully gave was ,here come and beat us,and in the first they did just that,we couldn,t get near them.when we did get it we lumped it up for poor breen to chase it he had no support as we had a midfield three who were too narrow to begin with[sorry two actually,o connor a passenger].he did change it at halftime and hynes who should have started at least put himself about,then of course frost does what ;great; captains do,get himself sent off and its game over.scullys disappearing acts when we are behind are legendary by now and taking off judge told us all a little bit more about scully on so called big match nights.can someone please tell me who yer man is that gets up out of the dugout when we get or concede a corner?

[gael353]

Mick Sheil?

Mick Shields is usually the person who gets up as he seems to be over set pieces.

Definitely a poor performance all round. If Shels can take 3 off Cork and Mons in their next meetings this result won't be so bad.

At the end of the day we have had a good season so far and hopefully this will continue.

[bluewhitearmy]

It was awful last night and was obvious what the mistakes were but at the end of the day i think most of us would have taken 2 off 2nd at this stage if offered it even more so with the injuries we have had to deal with.
