Don't think I could deal with getting to Drogheda again and another game called off...there's only so many times I can go to Drogheda in a year.

Has there ever been a more pointless night of Premier Division football?

Tongiht will drag the attendance averages down!

HT Drogs 1-0 Harps

Jeez thought it was going to be another night of what should have been. Can't beat a late winner. That should be enough for third ....ho hum

Finished 1_1 in Drogheda,both sides reasonably happy id imagine,from listening to the radio seemed like Drogheda shaded it,the game will do us a world of good after a 3 week lay off(thanks FAI����),I would expect us to be better next week,all to play for though!

Dundalk beat Waterford in what was really no more than a canter for the champions.
very decent chances for Hoban and Mounts & McEleney with waterford clearing off the line and some last ditch tackling also denying Dundalk.
Dundalk foot was of the gas when waterford scored.
Enjoyable match all in all i thought.(well for us anyway)

Really poor game in Drogheda. Harps clearly very rusty after three weeks without a game. We were very poor for the majority of the game.

On that basis, happy enough to get a draw. Different prospect next week. Should be a bumper crowd in Finn Park.

Limerick are absolutely awful. Hope the Finn Harps fans are looking forward to Premier Division football again next year.

Absolutely miserable stuff from Pats tonight. Nothing to play for but set up at home to negate Rovers more than anything else and still would've lost by 3 or 4 if not for Brendan Clarke having a stormer, playing slow centre midfielders on the wing and centre backs in midfield didn't really help our cause and just made it easier for Rovers as they hadn't much to worry about coming at them. A lot to improve on for next season.

The Fai gets dogged for they're lack of promotion,but if you looked at Limericks Twitter or Facebook page over the last couple of days you would not know they're SENIOR team were playing a match tonight,I know they're in a bad way but come on ,schoolboy teams are doing better.....

Yeah I found that strange alright. Went on to their Twitter account around 30 minutes before kick off to see their line up and there hadn't been anything posted for 5 days.

Edit: Just looked again and there was not a single update about the game. That's a new one on me now.

I see you point on 3 weeks but on the flip side we have had 3 games in 7 days! (One going to extra time) and if we go through we will be wrecked facing limerick. I wonder would removing the two leg system be better and playing at a neutral venue as close to 50:50 distance to both teams work better. Less games and the 2nd place team aren’t waiting as long for their match. Also whichever 1st side facing the premier side won’t be disadvantaged with such tired legs.

Limerick fans have been on about this for some time. Supporters have had to remind them that there is even a game on. It is really shambolic stuff.

Limerick fans might recall that after the win at home to Waterford the social media went absolutely mental for a short period, about 5 posts a day!

Now we havent had a post in 5 days.
