The Big One: Longford V Limerick37 FC

[KevB76]

anybody know who the subs were the other night?

Tierney for McCarthy and Kelliher for Moran.
Dont know what other subs were on the bench.

The cross for the third goal was passed straight across our area. Doesn't a ball have to go forward for offside to be given?

I didn't think any of the goals were off to be honest. 3 great finishes. Longford were just that bit better than us, no disgrace in that, overall we played reasonably well (Wayne and Derek in particular). A lot of noise made, good to hear, all we need to do now is have a word with the children kicking seats after Longford goals and we'll be flying.

Everyone seems to have a differnet opinion on this one, depends what angle your looking at it from I suppose (must admit i'd make a terrible linesman).

No, but in this scenario its a good indication because they were all running on to it so if it was played square they had to be onside.

was a poor match,but credit to the team they worked their socks off ,longford better than us for sure,however a full squad and a more positive approach we,d have asked far more questions of them.

Watched EL weekly last night and replayed the tape a few times.

1) 1st goal was probably offside but not absolutely conclusive on camera. Baker is well offside as the ball is cleared. He is still coming back it would appear as the ball is kicked but not on camera. He is probably just onside when he receives the ball but most likely off when it was kicked. From my viewing at the game he was still offside when the ball was played.

2) 3rd goal was probably OK. Number 11 (Duffy ?) was not offside in the buildup but another player. On camera the cross looked flat instead of forward. From my angle at the game it looked clearly forward.

There was a guy offside in the build up to the first goal but another player ran onto the ball from an onside position and caught us out cos we were expecting the offside to be called, but he wasn't interfering with play at that point. The annoying thing was we had done the same to them only minutes before so maybe our guys should have been more alert to it.

Their second goal was class.

Their third goal I thought was offiside - again not the player running through and getting the cross in, but the the two waiting in the box for the tap-in were both ahead of our last defender I thought.

Our penalty was very soft, but we should have blatantly had one earlier so I've no guilt about it.

Overall I was very pleased with the way we played, 4-5-1 was negative but appropriate and we were by no means pinned back in defence, I thought we looked comfortable for most of the match.

The final scoreline was disappointing, I thought 2-1 would have been fair and more palletable.

That pretty much sums the game up for me anyway. Longford deserved it in the end so fairplay to them, although I reckon it will sadly be Cork's cup this year
