LOI fixtures 8/9/10 July 2016

[White Horse]

Perhaps, Bolger and Caulfield are trying to goad/challenge teams to get something off Dundalk.

They might think teams are not applying themselves. That hasn't been my experience this season.

[WoodquayBoy]

Or perhaps they realise Dundalk are a damn fine team and a six point gap is a lot, even if there is half a season to go and they have played a game less. Dundalk lost 3 and drew 8 in 2014; they lost 1 and drew 9 in 2015, so they won 55 of their 66 league games in those 2 seasons, and have won 15 of 18 this season, so their form is even better this year. It's not always about mind games, sometimes the facts speak for themselves.

Its literally not in our own hands.

I think myself that in the interests of Irish football dundalk should have to play off against us at the end of the season to decide who the best team in the country are.

If dundalk don't offer this fixture I think it will be fair to say we are and it will leave a giant question mark hanging over their three in a row in the history books to be honest. :ball:

Kinda surprised a Limerick fan would look for a play off.

We will win the league, mark my words :cool: dundalk will drop points, we just have to take advantage of it when they do. Dundalk are essentially 7 points ahead with the goal difference so reeling them in will be very difficult, but there is a bit more about us this*year so I don't think dundalk winning the league is a foregone conclusion tbh. In saying that, its hard to see past them winning it but there is a long way to go

Kinda surprised a First Division Champions 2016 Limerick FC fan would look for a play off.

I'd think of it more like a champions league final type set up than a play off. Would only be one game. In the aviva stadium. Maybe have an Ireland qualifier before it as a curtain raiser.

My thoughts on the playoffs are well known. Its really nice for a club like finn harps getting a go against the big teams. And I'm enjoying this year. On the one hand it's a pity for Irish football as a whole that we are not up there with dundalk hot on our heels at the top of the Premier. But on the other hand it's a real fairytale story for harps and it must be fantastic for the first division clubs to experience playing us. :good:

Would you give you lot another chance to sing your favourite song I suppose.

There isn't a lot between between the two teams this year. There was a big gap last year but Cork have invested well and it shows. No one in Dundalk is taking anything for granted.

I'm on record on this very forum saying the happy clappy children bringing full entrance fee paying non swearing non drink smuggling sitting down no smoking family friendly effort applauding nouveau fans who sang that night should have been dragged from their beds and shot in front of their families.

I stand over this opinion. I really can't stress it enough.

Luckily these "nice" people represent a tiny fraction of our fan base and would never dream of travelling to a game. :ball:

Brilliant, strong, assertive opening



so I don't think dundalk winning the league is a foregone conclusion tbh.

Starting to waiver

Even Joseph Goebbels could not spin it in the way JC does - every Corkonian appears to fall sooner or later

Ha suppose looking back on it, my aim to talk our chances up came off the rails a bit towards the end.. Dundalk are clear favourites, but we are by no means out of it, that's more along the lines of what I was trying to say.
