Many of you lads coming up?
I'll be there with five other lads, couldn't tell you after that.
Huge incentive for us, win this and we can afford our painfully predictable defeat to Waterford.
My prediction:
Will only be three points clear by the time this kicks off, will still be three points clear and full time heading into the Waterford game and our CHAMPIONS thread will look foolish. :ball:
The optimism is strong in this one.
We should, should, have far too much for ye in every department of the field.
But 17 years has thought me well. :good:
A little bit of pressure taken off for tomorrow night with Waterford losing to Wexford.
ANother defeat for waterford tonight this game tomorrow night now is huge chance to completely kill off waterford and go 9pts ahead of them
and....missed. Played his third choice center half on the right wing for the entire 95mins so a draw was about all he deserved. Turned the pressure up on himself with this loss of 2 points, joining mervue and wexford who have gained points up in harps this month. League champions elect my fooking arseQuote:

Nothing wrong with a point up there. Looked like a weird decision line up wise with everyone barr O'Leary available.

Thats the differance between winners and winners elect.
Limerick played a center half on the wing last night to GAA like "break ball". we had a bench of Guthrie, Cusack (GK) Bradley, Collins, Behan, McGrath and Derick O'Brien. Four of those subs have played on the right wing for Limerick this season so who in gods name came up with this one. By having a center half at right wing, and a left wing who was having a rough time of it, they couldnt switch them, i mean who would play a center half on the left wing for gods sake like :confused: actually dont go there. We, the limerick fans that were there were saying when would he make his subs as some players were not performing. All agreed that it would be when we went 2 up or Harps equalized. It was a long time after harps equalized that Bradley was introduced and the disbelieving Judge hawled ashore. We still had a center half on the right wing btw. Behan came on late and seemed to settle into a left wing position which was not where he was needed. Corie didnt have a bad game but asking him to play right wing for 95 mins was a stuped call which will cost us.
A slip, but plenty of time to prepare for the really big game in two weeks time.
So much for 'credit where credit is due'. As Sam said, Harps are unbeaten in 7 now, playing decent football with a young side. Limerick were complacent, sent out a side they shouldn't have, and paid the price. Harps capitalised and took a very deserved point. Finn Park has never been an easy place to get points in the past. Cork and Shels would have hammered us last year yes, but I'd like to see them come up now and trounce us. It wouldn't happen.Quote:

It takes a lot to drive 630kms to support your team but we do it cos we have the aspiration to show we are good supporters and we support this team. Then we have a center half on the wing. where is the aspiration to win there from our team/manager? Its dropped points for us.
I'd have no argument there. If things were reversed with us having a very good squad, playing a side with a bunch of injuries I'd expect a win even if the opposition were doing reasonably OK at the time.
