Sligo winning in Cork. Galway and Pats also winning. Harps dropping from 8th to 11th. If they can equalise, there'll be five teams on 28 points.
Worrying set of scores for everyone down the bottom. Even if you're winning, you're not really pulling away.
Roddan sent off for Sligo in the last minute. Terrible decision from the ref.
Watched tonight's match. Sligo look decent. McCabe and McDonagh look to have been fine acquisitions. Cork were very uninspiring.
Dreadful game
Looked like the right decision to me, what did you think was wrong with it?Quote:

Maguire looks like the best one-man team ever going on tonight's match and Cork's form since he left.
It wasn't a foul, it was a tangling of legs.Quote:

Marc ludden got pushed into the wall in injury time and had to be stetchered off. That added some time. A really nasty thing to do.
And ya, there were at least 2 pitch invasions and some impressive fireworks.
They really are some shower.Quote:

Still hope I suppose, but so disappointed leaving Terryland.
Hope Ludden is not seriously injured, in what was such a nasty foul.
Nothing but a fully committed shoulder bump from both players there that ended up with both players in a hape on the deck and both getting unfairly yellow carded.That not part of the game?(shoulder)Quote:

As was mentioned there was a lot of pitch invasions in Terryland tonight which the wall being so close to the pitch may contributed to the problem. Also in defense of Garry Shaw it is not the first time players have crashed into the same wall.
We were absolutely rubbish tonight. Poxy goal to concede, but we weren't up to much all night. Must've been a poor game to watch on the telly, ball was out of play most of the time. Seriously need to win Monday to stop this recent rot, with rovers and dundalk the next league games after that, it's important to get those few points closer. .
Also really missing O'Connor and dunleavy. Three serious players to lose half way through the season.Quote:

Rovers are a shower, and cork are a single drop. And that drop has left, to play for PNE.Quote:

The Cork v Dlk match scheduled for 15/09 will need to be re-arranged (EA Sports cup final)
For those interested in tuning in to tonight's Limerick/Bohs clash, Noel O'Connor and I will offer uninterrupted live audio analysis of same at www.mixlr.com/limerick-soccer-live
Some real scumbags among the Shamrock support in EDP last night. In fairness the majority seem like decent folk.
If they plan on challenging Dundalk & Cork they need to get a proper manager in. Bradley is a chancer & an ignorant p***k. I really hope they miss out on Europe.
As for Galway, I didn't expect to get anything out of the game given our record against them. The Sligo result is a kick in the teeth. Pat's will be sound.
It's looking like 2 from Galway, Harps & Sligo. If Limerick lose tonight they'll be right in the mix too.
That's a bit harsh on every count.. pitch invasions ...2 or 3 lads hugging the stewards who were actually good Craic and not bothered. Bradley has integrated an entire new team together this season ...Quote:

Bradley should have been sent to the stands in the second half. I've seen Ollie Horgan sent off earlier in the year for far less.Quote:

The pitch invasion lasted well over a minute and there was a lot more than '2 or 3' on the pitch. Like I said the majority of the fans were sound, just 15/20 acting like scumbags.
Well from our side of the stadium we couldn't hear any of that about Bradley and I didn't see it either so I can appreciate your point of view.Quote:

in regard to the horror at the pitch invasion,
We were 1 nil down with 10 mins to go and went 2 :1 up in the last minute, in a game we had to win to stand any chnce of catching derry for a place in Europe
Get a grip will ye !
Fair point. A result that dramatic has rarely, if ever, happened in the game of football. Who wouldn't want to celebrate it by hopping a wall and holding the game up?
(Seriously; that's a ****ing stupid excuse)
Not PC i know jumping a 3 foot wall but Pitch invasion ....really that's fake news as Dumbo acrosssthe pond would say. On people abusing officals whoever they are whats the point, are going to come over to you and say "oh sorry sir yes you are absolutely right it was offside i will disallow that goal now" There are lads that stand beside me in the east stand every week and they spend the whole game questioning the various officials eyesight, the authenticity of their hair, the lack of it sometimes, their parentage and their IQ. Have the aforementioned officials ever changed their mind due to these utterances, never.
They shouldn't have jumped the wall but it was good rumoured stuff and DIDN'T hold the game up.Quote:

Limerick one up at half time, Clarke saved a penalty. Huge result if it stays this way.
LTFC 3-0 up within 15 minutes in El Classico. Athlone have only 13 players tonight.
Another hat trick for Davy O'Sullivan, I think that's his third hat trick against Athlone this season.
Limerick must have had ten chances to double their lead in the second and missed them all. This is torture to listen to.
4-1 in Longford now, an hour gone.
Limerick could have had 6 or 7 against Bohs tonight. Ogbene alone missed about 4 one-on-ones. And they nearly did nick an equaliser late on when Akinade got in behind the defence and cut it back, but it was blazed over. Delighted with the performance and a very valuable 3 points.
Bohs were muck though, not sure of it was an off night, but they weren't up to the speed of the game at all. Decent support for them too, didn't have much to be positive about though.
......LIMERICK 1 BOHS 0...thats whats next,amazing you seemed to know the team that early in the day.Quote:
