random thoughts from the game
Carthy in my book would have gotten a yellow card at best had Cleary not done his best Cristiano Ronaldo impression and collapsed in a heap on the ground, not the last we saw of a Galway player going to ground.
Fair play to Galway for plugging away til the end but I have to say, for an Eircom League First Division side they have the art of diving down to a tee. Five or six times I saw one of their players 'fouled' with that tall lanky centre half with no hair the worst offender. Should have been booked a lot earlier for his diving than he was.
I have to say from when Heff's goal went in til the second half kicked off was probably the most fun I've had at a Limerick game in quite a while. The celebrations behind Gough's goal when Heff scored were some of the funniest, most over the top, happiest celebrations I've been a part of...good stuff from all of us concerned, however boos to Lim Til I Die for practically catapulting me over the wall and on to the pitch during the celebrations :p
lfc at heart, go away.... now!
the team was an absolute shambles after Galways first goal, even for the five/ten minutes proceeding. The ball was given away too easily, and after the second went in the team just gave up. I have never witnessed a team fold so badly during a game, but what do we blame it on? The team have talent, we know that, but they don't seem to have the commitment anymore, I mean a serious lack of team spirit is needed for a team to fold so badly, so we should be looking once again at the mess NOC has left us in, in regards to team spirit at least, and then to Danny, who I'm sure shot Tommy Barrett's dog in the dressing room afterwards as punishment for what happened at the end, such is his way with man management.
For anyone not at the game, no fault lies with Austin for any of the goals, I only say this because people see a scoreline like 5-1 and assume the keeper had a nightmare. Genuinely didn't have a chance with any of the 5, and in my eyes seemed to be the only player who actually gave a sh!t with each passing goal.
But the real issue coming from the game is SadLoserKid's shocking penalty miss against the Galway subs during half time. How a man with such lofty idea's about football could produce such a poor penalty, and follow it up with the greatest celebration ever at a Limerick game leaves me tipping my hat to the man, the myth, the 'infuture let's just put him in goals' legend that is SLK :)
And in conclusion, we need this season to end...now!
