L37 v Wexford

[Monkfish]

Jamie and Heff have been the targets in recent weeks, but god almighty the mothership of all targets could be making a visit on Tuesday, who do i speak of? Mick 'give peace a chance' Wallace? no, Pat 'you thought it was me because of my size' Dolan? no, we all know who now dont we! chop chop chop chop chop chop chop..................

I should be going to the Still house either way on Tuesday (not working til Thursday!!!) if anyones around, and the only tempting thing here is the draw.

L37. 8/13.

Draw. 12/5.

Wexford. 4/1.

On current form I'd say yer dead certs for the win. Probably 2-0.

My optimistic self would hope that we can hold ye scoreless for the first half and nick a late winner from a set piece. Confidence seems to be through the floor in the Wexford camp at the moment and they desperately need to scrape a win from some where.

Oh please reveal the name of target numero uno, I'm intrigued...

Dunno, you might be good for the draw.

Clue #1. He aint a player.

D'Oh talk about stating the obvious. I'm sure Mr O'Connor is very excited about his visit to Limerick too :)

So are we! though i thought he still lives in these parts? or have the picket lines outside his shop drove him away!

Couldn't tell ya where he's living to be honest. It's a long trek up and down to Wexford if he is. What sort of crowd will ye get for this one? I'm just a fair weather fan so won't be travelling :o

Crowds at Wexford home games have dropped massively, I'd be surprised if more than 20 away fans turn up.

Being a Tuesday your almost sure of a below avarage turn out, though we are on a decent enough run, 400/500? I may yet be surprised though. Only Dundalk have brought more than 20 to us this year so that wouldnt be too bad a turn out from yourselves. Do you have Wexford pin badges yet?

here we go again,more sh...te about someone who WAS with the club.you obviously know where his shop is so why dont you go and find out....but you wont do that,its far easier slag him off from the safety of the stands or from behind the dugout and of course you dont eat meat do you....

I dont eat HIS meat, and if you have a problem with that come up to me and say it to my face, and not from behind your keyboard.

Cut it out girls....

Abuse for ex-players / managers is par for the course at every football ground in the country. Noel O'Connor won't be expecting anything else. As long as its not too personal, and relative to football then it's acceptable.

Clubs are now directed by the FAI to pick out those fans who are OTT and personally insulting to opposition players and staff and ban them from grounds and I'm sure L37 will not be any different in this.

Abuse away, and as long as it crosses no boundaries a la Shamrock Rovers/ Simon Webb, then I'm sure nobody will have probles with it.:ball:

Most of us know this...........my problem is not with the mans personality or managerial 'style' (others will disagree) but with his actions in the lead up to the cup game against Derry just after he was 'left go'.

I hope the Wexford lads turn up tonight... According to the official website we're playing Kildare County tonight :eek:

[passinginterest]

Do you have Wexford pin badges yet?

Not that I know of. Although I haven't managed to make a game since the move to Friday nights (seems like the same applies to most of the crowd, only 600-800 at the last two games). As far as I know the only merchandise available is jerseys and t-shirts still.

Early days yet, suppose you have more important things than pin badges to organise in your first season! il chance it again later in the season, thanks

[atfconline]

Wexford should have badges, in fact done by the same guy who made the new Limerick ones.

Great win tonight. Great athmosphere in the shed, i hope we can get everyone singing at some stage. :ball:

Limerick 37 had a comfortable win at home in the eircom First division tuesday night against visitors Wexford Youths. The blues put three past the boys from Wexford without reply, with a brace from Brian “Chucka” Buckley in the 35th and 67th minute and a third from substitute Joey Moloney in the last minute of regular time. All the goals scored were from headers so it is fair to say that Limerick posed a severe aerial threat to the Wexford defence! The match was played in front of a crowd of 618 people on a dry sunny evening. The result keeps Limerick in the hunt in third place in the first division and was their biggest win of the season. The draw for the second round of the Ford (previously Carslberg) FAI cup takes place on this Thursday and will be shown live on the rte 6 o clock news. Hopefully the blues will get a good home draw to bring a crowd to Jackman Park. It has to be said that a good atmosphere is developing at the ground with the home fans learning to show their vocal support more often. During the second half as Joey Moloney was warming up prior to his coming on as a substitute the crowd were chanting his name down at the stand end and when he scored his goal he acknowledged the fans down there which went down well. Small stuff maybe, but this is the type of thing that helps the home team build a rapport with the fans who in turn will support the team more vocally. The next game for the blues is away to Finn Harps and after that there is a three week break in the league before the next home game versus Kilkenny City.
this report taken from the limerick blogger website,nice bit of acknowledgement for the fans

[passinginterest]

Would I be right in saying Paul Malone was suspended for Wexford Youths last night? He's by far our best player in the air and not surprised we conceded three headed goals. It's a massive weakness in the team, I'd say at least 50% of the goals conceded so far have been from headers. Well done to Limerick I hope ye can at least make it into the playoff.

Did any support from Wexford show up? Anyone impress on the Wexford side of things? They really need to take something from the next game against Kildare or there's a real danger of not getting another win all season.

BRING ON THE HARPS!anyone going

I'm going hopefully.

Well we converted my brother to L37 just last night and even he was annoyed when people in the Shed wouldn't play ball with our 'sit down for the super blues' chant, can't understand why people won't just go with it to be honest

[Lim till i die]

Wexford are as poor a team as I've ever seen in the LOI lads but in fairness you can only beat what's put infront of you so fairplay. :ball:

Good crowd aswell for a Tuesday, easy know the "continental" season is over :)


BRING ON THE HARPS!anyone going

Myself and about six others are travelling anyway :ball:

Nice bit of coverage in the leader today on the match.

Fairly even match up until our first goal, though in fairness you had a lot of lads missing so i wouldnt critacise them too much if i were Wexford fan (not saying that you are) unsure of the number of Wexford fans, anyone?

Fairly even??

They had eleven behind the ball at all times until we got our first goal

Nothing to do with lads missing (Wexford have 1000s of players, everyone of them a nobody), that's more to do with crap coaching and a crap attitude

At least when we were crap we had a go and lost with a bit of dignity (Usually) :ball:

Shut up! im trying to be nice here.........

Shut up! im trying to be nice here.........

Thanks for trying to be nice anyway. The struggle we all expected has really started now for the Wexford lads (still not bottom yet though, so we hold out hope). With any luck I'm going to the game Saturday away to Kildare (will be my third Wexford Youths match, generally rely on my Dad for progress reports, he's been to all the home games, he reckons they need to learn to push more men forward, negative coaching maybe?), points are badly needed to boost the confidence again.

I'd say at least 5 or 6 of the players have shown they are easily up to this standard of football, unfortunately a lot of the others are struggling. It's very early days for the club yet and I'd be very surprised if we were still the worst in the league in three years time.

It's a pressure game down here

I'm astonished at how much time you give the opposition on the ball. Seem to sit back in two banks of five when without the ball and challenge teams to break you down.

In theory a good strategy. BUT, you need quality defenders to pull it off and your boys don't cut the mustard. Somebodies always bound to fcuk up eventually playing like that with poor quality players

It's tactical ineptitude and you'd expect even O'Connor and Dolan would know better at this stage :ball:

[passinginterest]

Can't disagree at the moment, it's pretty much the same report from every game. I believe they tried 4-4-2 from the start against Athlone but played a defensive midfielder and a defender up front. A lot of players are getting runs in different positions at the moment, which might not be a bad thing in the long run, but, in the short term things are starting to get very frustrating for the 5 or 6 hundred loyal supporters at every home game.

The attitude has generally been very good from the players but they looked very tired when I saw them at home to Kilkenny. According to one of the players Dad, they're training for 3 hours a night 4 nights a week (and trying to hold down full time jobs) sounds like over kill to me. Maybe asking too much for too little reward at this stage in the development of the club.

what game were you watching,monkfish was spot on.wexford played some good stuff,just very inexperienced and obviously very young..could not handle us at setpieces thats what won us the game.we played poorly..once again our defence were brilliant...midfield on its just honest effort but we didnt create anything,its a all about results so fairplay to skee his,...ball in the hole...game is bearing fruit.are you seriously questioning dolans and o conners tactical ability,better give wallace a call he could use a genius like you.

[4tothefloor]

o conners tactical ability
What the fcuk is that when it's at home? Next you'll be talking about Padraig Moran's lightening pace...

Forgive me for believeing I know more than the likes of you :rolleyes:

Good stuff?? :rolleyes:


dolans and o conners tactical ability

Good One :D

[ForzaWexford]

I think you're being a bit harsh on us Lim Till I Die.

It's been said a million times at this stage but our lads need some time to adapt to LOI football. Most of them have been playing on crap teams in a bad Wexford junior league up until this season. They're now playing on a slightly better team in a very mediocre league. If we stay off the bottom this season I'll be happy enough, as will Mick & Co.

Rome wasn't built in a day!

[Lim till i die]

There's that Italian connection shining through again :)

Sorry man, genuinely don't mean to be harsh, I'd just be questioning the way you play if I was a Wexford fan is all. If nothing else it's not very entertaining to watch

Save the Cattenachio tactics for when you're in Europe :)
