Oof. Worst loss in quite a while.
And Dundalk fans had the gall to complain that Sligo 'bent over' for us last night....

The team that can't be named will no doubt be relegated this season despite their good start. Neil McDonald was the worst thing to happen them. Stayed up last season and then he doesn't bother signing the likes of tosi and hery again

Dundalk 8-0 Limerick
Bohs 0-1 Derry
Bohs missed a late penalty.
Ah you always expect that when you play your feeder club.
Quite the opposite usually! We've dropped more points to Sligo during JCs reign that any other team bar yourselves. Usually their players are out to impress.....

Is that the worst Premier defeat since that wojus Galway team? And did they ship 8? They must have; surely?

We have to write Dundalk and Cork off, if we got 1 win from 8 that would be a result, and just try to concentrate on the 5 or 6 teams we will have a chance against. On night's like these you have to look at the positives. Little did I think that when Mr Stokes decided to not only score a 90th min equalizer but to then change direction and run 50 yards to slide in front of the home fans that karma would take a matter of 3 days. Not so hot from the spot Sir :shout:.

Important win for Derry, with Dundalk up next they could have been fairly adrift after just 2 weeks of the season.

Sligo gave us an 8-0 hiding at one stage, they also beat us 7-1 as well that season. Two 6-0 defeats I think as well

I was sitting behind a couple of lads in FAI coats and I could have sworn I heard them discussing an eight team premier division.
Results are all over the shop already.....which is nice.

How many games in was Martin Russell sacked last year and could Tommy Barrett suffer the same fate?

Seriously though,what age is Mark O'Sullivan:confused::rolleyes: What an absolute a hole.
Super win tonight and believe me,imo,Lims got away lightly with 8-0.
About time Dundalk got going and they done it in superb fashion.

8-0 is obviously atrocious, but I wouldn't think a single Limerick fan or anybody associated with the club expected anything other than a defeat. Even if we get easily beaten by Rovers, which is likely, I don't think he'd be sacked so soon.
Very different from Russell in that Russell had the spine of his team from the season before, had the whole pre-season to prepare, and more money at his disposal too, by all accounts.
I think the perception was that Russell wasn't getting (and wouldn't ever get) the best out of his squad, but in this case, the squad simply isn't good enough at all, and has no depth whatsoever.

Thats the impression I got as well. It puts our result against you in context and not in a good way.

I’d say it’s close to being Dundalk’s biggest home win in the PD (since 85/86). In Kennys time we beat Drogs 7-0 and Bray 8-1 both at home in league games and Finn Harps 7-0 away.
Limerick seemed to play with a very odd formation of absolutely no one in the centre of midfield and almost waiting for Dundalk to attack at every opportunity.

Calamity of a result and there will be more nights like it. But if they keep getting points against Bohs or Sligo, or Bray down the line, it won't matter.
Barrett is there for the season. Who would they replace him with?

Limerick were woeful tonight and 8 nil flattered them, it could easily have been double figures with the amount of shots we had on target.
It was great to get a win and an emphatic one at that. There’s still a lot of gelling together for the team but I thought Cleary at the back was very good again. Brian Gartland will struggle to get back in the team. I’m looking forward to seeing Chvedukas more when he gets fully match fit. I think he is going to be crucial in our midfield this season.
The only sour point was Kenny and Hoban having a row on the bench after Hoban was substituted.

8-0 is clearly awful but as soon as I saw the line up I wasn’t too bothered. There was a big difference in the team that lined out against Sligo/Bohs and Dundalk. No comparison can really be made.
We rested our starting centre back and starting centre forward. We were missing one of our starting midfielders in Cian Coleman (think he got man if the match in the first two games) as well as Kearns who has been playing very well for us. We don’t have the depth to handle losing or changing that many players but I wouldn’t jump from we will be safe to we are goosed.
We picked up 4 points in two games against the teams that will be around us and will most likely focus a lot of our attention on our home games and the games against the teams near us in the league.
We didn’t sign Hery because we couldn’t afford to keep him and we didn’t sign Tosi because he has left the country. Mark O Sullivan was excellent in our first two games also so not too bothered there.

There is losing and there is losing 8-0! I expected no points from last night but that performance and scoreline is embarrassing. Even the team that went 21 games before a win never lost 8-0

Kenny Shiels with a bitter interview about last nights match in Dalymount.Eh Kenny, it was a smash and grab win, enjoy the moment?
Bohs dominated but Derry had three good chances on the break and scored from a set piece..
Bohs had a stack of chances and a missed penalty,played some decent football at times, particularly from the young left back Leahy.
Badly missed Corcoran.
Derry a shadow of last years side, won't be challenging Cork or Dundalk , they look more streetwise/ resilient than Rovers though, but early days.
Good manager, awful human being.

I think we'll see the postponement of most matches in the LOI this Friday and Saturday.
As bad as it today,warnings are that Thursday will be the worst.I cant see any games going ahead.
Summer football etc....

They also had 6 points after 21 games, we now have 4 points after 3 games. The scoreline is embarrassing but 1 0 or 8 0 makes no difference to us. Even Saturday's home fixture against Rovers is one where we are going to struggle. It's the Bray game on Friday week that is important.

Any more defeats like that could see Limerick plummet.
It's not the defeat it's the manner of it.

We have to be mindful of perception though. If they lost 3-0 and played badly no one would bat an eyelid. A thumping like that shines a negative light on the team - from the press, from potential support, sponsorship, what have you. And the humiliation can sink into the squad at large in a bad way.
I'm noticing this narrative popping in a few places of "Neil McDonald ditched all of Limerick's best players, then left". That man is not who I would put front and centre in the parade of people responsible for Limerick's problems.

Friday is going to bad too, I'll be shocked if any go ahead on Friday, the two matches on Saturday may be ok
They kicked the season off earlier mid-February instead of finishing the season later in Mid-November exactly because of weather events like this. Early season games are very easy to re-schedule with alot less headaches in terms of title/relegation/play-off implications.

Ye couldn`t afford Hery? Can ye afford to go back to the first division???? these players aren`t on crazy money ffs.
Didn`t sign Tosi cos he left the country? He left the country cos ye didn`t tie him down or convince him enough to stay. Simple.
Ye don`t mind losing 8-0 after you saw the lineups that says enough really. i`ve never seen a fan say that even league 2 team vs premier team in FA cup
There are serious issues at limerick & the 2 wins to kick off the season won`t save ye unfortunately (i say unfortunately as i actually like your club and the fans have been beyond outstanding on numerous occasions, not only last night but i recall them singing non stop to 90 mins in the home cup final 2 years ago despite wilting very badly in the 2nd half and being hammered in the last 25 mins when it would be easy to turn )

Limerick fans will give Barret a long honeymoon,he,s one of our own sure and everyone one but the actual manager of the team will be blamed for that humilation.His mgt skills will be severly tested the next 4-5 games as its obvious some players surrendered early v Dundalk.If the previous manager had summoned this result with this squad the..fans...would be calling for his head.Lucky for Barrett only one going straight down this season which puts in perspective the job Mcdonald did last season.Hopefully repeat performances and results like this one will be a distant memory.

Shields is doing a good job with Derry but he always comes across as bitter and with a chip on his shoulder.
Long is doing a great job at bohs I'm kinda puzzled as to why shields thought it necessary to start winding him up. Is there history there ?

Yes, Shiels has a history of talking sh**e
Next home games for City are now Shams on Monday night 12th March and the re-fixed Bohs game again on Monday night 19th March.
Monday Night Football at the Cross, what do you think!
