It won't be a travesty if they go down. They didn't win any of their first 21 games.Quote:

Yep.........
It may have been in response to Dundalk fans singing that they hoped we stay up - I'm not sure which chant came first.
Dundalk chant came first then Limerick fans sang that all a bit weird but tbh if its the worst things our fans do this season than fine by me.Quote:

Hope limerick stay up myself thought they were excellent at times, showed real calm and composure for a team desperate for points
Not to mention some quality. Duggan was excellent, while Faherty and Clark looked very sharp.Quote:

It makes me sick to my stomach. No place for that kind of thing in our league.Quote:

I can understand Longford fans saying that. Slagging off the ball boys in away grounds is your standard. ;)Quote:

Did anyone else notice the steward removing the ball boys from in front of the Dundalk crowd after the Limerick goal, taking their jackets and putting them into the main stand? They went a bit mad celebrating the Limerick goal and dancing for a couple of minutes in front of us. Two other ball boys were put in their place. A humorous moment.Quote:

Rice yet again was found wanting last night.Quote:

For a cup semi final I am not too bothered about being thrashed in Oriel!
How did the Limerick superstars do the last time they went to Oriel?Quote:

He was quick enough to take all the plaudits when going well if we're relegated he'll have to take it on the chin because it will be his fault. Problem with throwing all your toys out of your pram is sometimes some of them break.
On the chant last night I'm not one given over to hyperbole so believe me when I say I'm convinced that the people who cheered dundalk off last night should be dragged from their beds and shot. My toes still haven't uncurled.
I'd have rathered we were caught up in another banning debacle or maybe even some light racism or something possibly some fisticuffs. Anything other than what did happen.
Down with this sort of thing. And if any of you fookers are planning any 'gaurd of honour' bull between now and the end of the season forget it. It will be interesting to see what kind of reaction we get in Tallaght in a couple of weeks though, if we seal the deal. :)
Absolutely.Quote:

Yep his legs are gone and he gave the ball away more than anyone on the pitch. I'd take a play off now because personally I think we are going straight downQuote:

I've missed a good few games over the last couple of months, but we weren't as bad as I was expecting on Saturday after what I had been reading. Even defensively, it was brain farts more than systems imo.
Ah there is no hope ye are going straight down tbh I think that is firmly between us Drrogs and Galway now with us still massive favourites to go straight down.Quote:

Ye have enough of a gap from us though that any kind of result at all is huge for ye. I hope to god ye beat Drogs anyway.Quote:

No Limerick fan has mentioned it since so presumed they thought the same.
Great goal by Keith Tracey, he may not be near fit enough but defo has quality in that left foot.
Everyone around me said it was never a penalty at the time. But that could be Limerick fans Dundalk bias too. :pQuote:

It was never a penalty. Going by soccer republic it looks stone wall but from another angle you can see Clarke slows down, has a look at the Dundalk player and takes the hit. No one near me in the stand thought it was a peno.
If we keep up the attacking prowess we have continued to show, be that when being dominant in possession or on the break, then I can see us doing enough to stay up.
Yeah same as that from my angle and not one around me thought it was a pen either.(All Dundalk fans though :) )Quote:

And he's so obviously looking for a penalty that the referees don't give it, even if there was contact.
