Shamrock Rovers (Tallaght) w/e May 27th

[ped_ped]

Not a bad draw. Gives them a chance to test themselves against top opposition, and they're away, so no terrible home display . . . though it would've been a nice moneyspinner to have in Jackman.

Plus, if all goes to all it's one distraction out of the way early on . . .

[Jofspring]

If rovers have crowd in it will be a bigger money spinner than Jackman. Not sure what they would expect for an FAI Cup game but anything near 2,500 and it will be better for us. Jackman only allowed about 2,000 as it is and we'd have to split that with them. I expect us to bring a nice crowd up there too.

An added bonus that we didn't get another first division side too.

[ped_ped]

Completely forgot about splitting the gate! In that case . . . job! :D

jesus help

What happened to 'us' and 'we're'? Don't abandon us yet ped_ped! :)

This match is confirmed for next Friday at 8.

I can see us doing quiet well in this match. On the road, on a decent pitch against a team that actually want to attack.

Ultimately I can't see us coming away with the win.

Shams 2-1 Limeirck after we take an early 1-0 lead against the run of play.

Hopefully the fact shams most likely won't play us again this season and the fact we have some quality players in gamble and Bradley it might bring out a decent crowd to tallaght. I can see us bring around 100 if not more. If they can even get 2,000 to 2,500 out it will be a nice split for us.

[Minesapint]

Im going for 1nil win to limerick:o

[NeverFeltBetter]

In last 6 games Hoops have won 2, drawn 4, struggled away to Mons tonight. Certainly weaknesses in the team, not beyond Limerick to grab something. Could easily see a draw.

[Shannonsider]

I am quietly confident for this one. Limerick are not expected to win, unlike in the league so the pressure is off. I think that is why we do better away from home. A 1-1 draw I reckon with Stephen Bradley scoring.

[Jofspring]

A draw and replay it in Jackman would be a great result for us.

[kingpin4]

A draw and replay it in Jackman would be a great result for us.

Hopefully not, because it'd be set for the Monday after the Longford game I think (someone can probably clarify it) but I would imagine a few of our players would have probably booked their holidays already and would be somewhere on a beach while our 19s get a run around.;)

[Jofspring]

Usually the games are played the following Tuesday but you could be right.

From a financial point it would be good. We get half the gate for the away match Friday and also have a nice crowd puller at home.

[nosebleds]

SCULLY for president.

[Jofspring]

If there is a replay it is set for next Monday 28th of May at 7:45pm.

[Lim till i die]

we need a replay against shamrock rovers in jackman like we need a hole in the head.

hopefully on the off chance its level with a couple of minutes to go dave ryan will do the decent thing!

Dribble the length of the pitch before rounding the Swedish/South African (delete as applicable) clown in Rovers goal and slotting in the winner?

sheehan is better off retiring he cant walk but something happens him ALMOST as bad as o' brien

[Minesapint]

sheehan is better off retiring he cant walk but something happens him ALMOST as bad as o' brien
i Agree cant depend on him at all.

[fc hammer]

sheehan is better off retiring he cant walk but something happens him ALMOST as bad as o' brien
I don't think anybody could be as bad as O' Brien.

[Jofspring]

So who have we striker wise tommorrow?

Gaffney, Quinn, Sheedy, Coughlan and Brosnan.

Behan suspended, Foley injured, Cian Collins Injured and Sheehan injured.

Probably be looking at

Ryan

Kelly
Purcell
Guthrie
S.Tracey

O'Leary
Bradley
McGann
Quinn
Brosnan

Gaffney

Basically 4-5-1 but god only knows where he will have players playing. Bradley a little deeper I would think with no Gamble. Going to be fairly thin on the ground.

[KevB76]

Disgraceful comments from the pair of you. Do you really need to be reminded he suffered a broken leg last season, his recovery has been difficult but there can be no doubting his commitment. Just getting back into the squad and now this happens, and all you can do is add insult to ijury. Ive read some amount of pure bile on here recently but thats the limit lads. I expected better from you two to be honest.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Not to speak for them, but I don't think they were doubting his commitment, just his proneness to injury and his wizdom in continuing his career in the circumstances. No one wants Sheahan to turn into Owen Hargreaves.

[kingpin4]

Ridiculous comment. I bet when he scored against Liverpool you jumped for joy at his return.

[bluewhitearmy]

Horrible comments about Garry and absolutely stupid comments.

How can you call him injury prone even its not muscle injuries from running he is getting its a broken leg he had cause by a horrible tackle. Cant depend on him have you any idea of the work and pain he has gone through to get back even?

Minesapint you come on here saying that Scully should be given chances spouting off stupid reason after stupid reason why all of them being proved wrong but yet you dont think that a lad that has worked his balls off trying to get back from a horrific injury deserves a chance?

I for one wish Garry a speedy recovery and cant wit to see him return and continue his comeback to 100% fitness and the great player that he is.

[bluepowers]

Lads whats the story with Paudie Quinn Hasnt been in the squad for a good while now ??

he is running with a limp why is he been played when he is clearly not right?

ya i jumped for joy when he scored against liverpool reserves LOL NO clapped yes

[Jofspring]

Lads whats the story with Paudie Quinn Hasnt been in the squad for a good while now ??

Thought he was injured but he came on against Liverpool reserves. I take it he will be back in tonight. Tonight's match might actually suit him.

Any word on how the buses and cars are going for tonight. Could we be looking at the bones of 120 travelling?

[kingpin4]

ya i jumped for joy when he scored against liverpool reserves LOL NO clapped yes

Awful thing to say about a lad coming back from what he did. Spend 2 minutes talking to him and you'd realise a lot of players wouldn't have come back from what he did. He was in a cast for nearly 6 months. If he kept pulling a muscle, then yes, injury prone. Broken leg, dislocated toe, not injury prone, that's just unlucky with injuries.

Exactly not like the injuries he had were from lack of fitness on his part.

[Monster]

Awful thing to say about a young lad who when right can be one of the most effective players in the league..he has had no luck with injuries..he has worked his socks off to get back..and how scully can be defended on this yet a player get stuff like that said about him on this just sums it all up to me... The word clueless springs to mind :)

[jaorta]

Thomas 72 you are the greatest muppet on this site and a disgrace to the
rest of us true blues.Mines a pint is just clueless and trying to increase
his posts without showing his lack of knowledge but there is no
defence for your downright stupidity.

[Lim till i die]

Lads, it was clearly a throw away comment born of frustration, climb off the oul high horses, I doubt he means the youngfella any ill will like!

Did well tonight all things considered, Buttimer is an absolute clown.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Considering the absences and the recent form, sounds like Limerick did as well as could have been expected. Hopefully will have built a bit of confidence heading into the truly big game next weekend. And still the League Cup to look forward to.

[Jofspring]

Was happy with the performance. Buttimer destroyed the game.

O'Leary was outstanding last night in my eyes. He maybe had a poor 5 to 10 minutes but barr that he was the most composed player on the pitch from both teams. He made a clown out of Shamrock Rovers players on numerous occasions. I haven't been Gaffneys biggest fan but last night was his best game since signing for us. He was an absolute work horse up front and caused a lot of problems for the Rovers defense when he got a chance.

The Rovers players where constantly falling over and diving etc… but I was expecting that from premier teams. I can see why they are so far behind Sligo though. They are like the premier version of some of our performances this season. Clueless enough going forward and making silly mistakes. Daryl Kavanagh changed the game for them when he came on.

[blueblood]

was there many lims fans at it?

About 100/120. Good spattering in the old stand too. Nice to see some old limerick heads exiled in dubland for the first time in ages too.

What has pat scully got to do with my post, there was no malice in my post towards gary sheehan, and bluewhitearmy i broke my own leg playing so i know how hard it is to recover, so i do apologise to gary.

In all fairness it was very severe,but it takes a big man to apologise...so fair play
