I'm driving a mini bus with 10 of us up and I know one of the lads is driving up too. Injuries and stuff clearing up any bit for ye this week?

[nigel-harps1954]

Somewhat clearing up but fitness is miles off for some.

[Mr A]

General info on match night is here: http://www.finnharps.com/fhfc/?page_id=1243 and expect detailed arrangements like the Cork game: http://www.finnharps.com/fhfc/?p=4424

Also we need to get fans who have minibuses. Surely the way forward.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Whitehead in for Cotter, only change. Hall still in goal.

[osarusan]

Losing 3-1 at half time.

[LK37oldskool]

Time to be realistic. Limerick were shocking tonight. Staying in the Premier league will be an achievement. All this talk of Europe is a POS daydream. I'll be happy will mid table mediocrity for this year.

[Kennycon]

There is money to bring in 3/4 players but after last nights result it is nerves times if we go down we won't attract quality.

[bluewhitearmy]

Add that to the list with Bohs at home Harps at home Sligo away and the first 89 minutes of Derry at home. 1 win in 9 one step forward with Bohs on Tuesday two back with that gutless nonsense for almost all of lastnight. I'm looking forward to July as much for some of these to get released as I am new heads in.

There is no way u guys are going down. New manager looks a good appointment and will have lots of connections , bound to strengthen in July.

[EL_Limerick]

Presumably Robson will be looking to get back to do a preseason with Sunderland, that leaves a poor defence in an even worse state. Add to that that we don't offer the back 4 any decent protection and it's clear we're going to concede lots of goals. For me a proper CDM is the most important thing for us in the window.

Fair play to those who travelled, not easy with 2 away trips in a week let alone up to Donegal.

[Jofspring]

Robson definitely gone on June 20th.

Disappointing result,not easy to get back to back results given the games involved ,but point[s] are vital no matter who you play.Some players looking over their shoulders now because new managers version the calvery will be on its way soon,current .established personnel will have to deal with that[or not ]also his way of shaping the team will neccessitate some currents warming the bench[or not].Tricky times ahead.

Given the games involved? It's Bohs and Harps not Cork and Dundalk.

[Lim till i die]

Absolutely, completely, unacceptable.

That last night was a disgrace.

We're in Stuart Taylors team against Bohs, Pat Scullys teams at home to Waterford territory here.

I just hope Neil McDonald realised what a terrible hand he was being dealt and demanded enough money to fix it before he took the job.

There are no more than seven or eight players at the club who have any business at the club.

[Kennycon]

I am sure mc Donald will bring in a few new signings there is money in the kitty, I would assume he will scout in England because of he's lack of knowledge of Irish football.

[Jofspring]

He will definitely go for what he knows. You'd imagine he has a lot of connections and could sell playing for us as a stepping stone if they did well and got European football. Be that this season or next.

I would like to think this year , in our current situation I would not take the gamble and wait until next year

[LK37oldskool]

Current situation? Can you expand on that?

[Treaty Gooner]

I presume he means midtable at best with 3 going down

[EL_Limerick]

A big concern for me is the availability of players in England and will they be keen on coming to Ireland at this time of the year, surely anyone half decent would prefer to chance their arm at trials and preseason over there and only see LOI as a plan B if they are not offered a contract.

Hope I'm wrong but it's something that's been in the back of my mind with regards to reinforcements

[bluewhitearmy]

Definitely a possibility but there also isn't a hope anyone of any quality will be available in Ireland in July.

[LK37oldskool]

A footballers life can be very unstable and I think the lure of a regular paycheck may be greater than going on endless trials with no guarantees. I think McDonald's reputation will help immensely. We'll know soon enough.

[EL_Limerick]

Definitely a possibility but there also isn't a hope anyone of any quality will be available in Ireland in July.

Agreed, and hopefully McDonald has the reputation and contacts to get some decent lads in

[Lim till i die]

You'd presume that he must have a half dozen lads in his back pocket or he wouldn't have taken the job.

[Kennycon]

Current situation? Can you expand on that?

As in there is no point leaving it until next season to bring in quality as we might be in the first division, we need players now to be sure of staying up.

[LK37oldskool]

You'll get no argument from me on that point. Has to happen as soon as the transfer window opens

[osarusan]

Ollie Horgan nearly in tears for us last night!

[bluewhitearmy]

I'd get sick to death of him. A game they quite clearly deserved to win and he still won't give his team credit. I know he is just playing up to the media and all but he has done it to death now its boring move on.

[Mr A]

We were going nowhere in the lower reaches of D1 when he was appointed. Think we'll manage to tolerate him a wee bit longer.

Not in any way a comment on him as a manager he's much better than the clown we left in charge at the start of this season but stop the act like it's over done a long time now.

[nigel-harps1954]

I know a lot of Harps fans that are really p!ssed off by his comments on the Limerick game.

Personally, I think as long as he keeps on getting results and keeps improving the club on the field, he can say what he likes. He's very, very different in the media to what he is in the dressing room and even chatting to him away from reporters. Incredibly passionate man.
