The game kicks off on Friday at 7:45 to be played under floodlights.
The team is still learning its way, and the dreadful mistakes that led to sendings off against Longford away wont be repeated. I reckon SF should break into the top 3 with a victory here. I don't know much about Limerick 37, haven't seen them play since they were called Limerick City.:D
Should be a good game. About 30+ Limerick fans heading up so far.
You Limerick guys aren't good on the road from what I hear. And how come there's only 30 of you comin. Sure we need all 37 of ye for a quorum....:pQuote:

You haven't been in the LoI that long have you? For nothing games against nothing teams 30+ (we'll have 50+ really) is actually quite good. Can't wait to see the throngs coming from Santry when you have to visit us on a Friday nightQuote:

I thought we missed a bagful of chances, especially Conan's one that skimmed outside the post in the first half.To give L37 their due thay had a good chance in either half an showed their experience in the second half by fighting their way back into the game and reallyoing for it in the second.
We are continuing to be competitive but if we miss those chances against the better teams in the division we are going to be punished.Quote:

Be far more in your line to worry about the street urchins populating the far bank than to be harassing away fans if you want to attract support to your "club"

Santry Goonshow, what do you make of Conan Byrne so far? Can't imagine him playing in as low a level as the First, he must be walking the ball past players for fun.
Yes, correct. Touch, anticipation and ball control superior than most of our other players. His only problem is pace. While he's not exactly slow, you need to have a burst of pace to exploit it when you beat a man. Evidence being against Lim 37 we should have gone 2-0 up when he took a ball down and flicked it past their centre-half just inside the circle giving himself a 2 yard headstart which the bigger man [somehow:eek:] recovered by the time they reached the penalty spot. Conan flicked it wide because the experienced centre-half knew how to put him off once he caught up.Quote:

That's one of the built in assets as opposed to the teams who flit northside and southside based on the availability of grounds that will host them.Quote:

Again, it would be worth the clubs time to see to those schooligans that seemed to grow in number throughout the game (I assume they didn't pay, given their coming and going throughout the game), they didn't try anything with us, but they might with othersQuote:
