I would have though Caulfield would have been the type to go with the tradition. Dundalk certainly have done it in the past even for rivals. Ah well, it a great example of respect for fellow clubs and players where Galway were proper sportsmen about it even though it was a vital game for them. Be interesting to see what Bray do but i'd say Mick Cooke would expect his side to follow the age old tradition!Quote:

A three year old club probably doesn't understand the traditions in the league.Quote:

2-0 Rovers. Could be a proper thrashing the way the defence is playing.
We (mainly meraphorically) allowed Limerick to shag our wives in the Flansiro when they won the First Division a few years ago. We're all about the goodwill and respect.
0-2 Rovers at HT. Limerick goal disallowed, correctly. Atmosphere dead. Regardless of whatever RTE guys are saying, Limerick have played poorly and deserve nothing out of the game at this rate.
Pat O'Sullivan was out at half time claiming "exciting things" will be happening at Limerick soon. Big money Cabinteely games presumably.
Bohs winning, Pats losing. Yusss!
St.Pats = waste of space of a football club this season
We have been terrible by the way
Gary Shaw 2 Drogs 0
Very, very ineffective all over the pitch. This is the only time I get to see Limerick live this season, and I no longer completely regret this fact.
Town 3 up, Rice 90 mins.
We are stayin up , we are stayin up!!! Dinnys gaa pratice is working
Pats 0-0 Sligo 2-0, fair play. Sligo are always a financially beneficial visitor for us so I'm pleased we're both staying up.
Can't get my head around that result and our season in general but thanks be to Jaysus.
I really want Limerick to stay up, not because Drogs would go down but that they could really kick on next season at the Markets Field. Harps would be a nice second if Limerick dont overtake Drogheda. While this gaurd of honour malarkey is only symbolic and an old fashioned formailty it is indicative of respect or lack of for worthy champions. It will be used as motivation in the cup final not that much more would be needed. Real Madrid have done it for Barcelona, Manchester United for Chelsea and visa versa, Arsenal for Man Utd too. If such clubs can do it elsewhere and overlook the seasons rivalries it makes Cork City FC quite petty, maybe arrogant even. Anyway tonights result shapes things up nicely for the Aviva. A nice big crowd will be in Oriel next week to celebrate the champions and trophy presentation; Bray being safe now can enjoy the occasion too and join in on the fun. Cork folk can have a look at the league trophy in the flesh when the cup is added for the post match photos!Quote:

Thought we were gonna get blitzed after ye went 2 up but we showed great character to get back level. Maybe we could've won it in the second half but wasn't to be.
Fair play to Daryl Horgan clapping the shed after despite being booed and heckled all game, including as he was walking off.
