Four quick thoughts on the Rovers/Limerick game here. :ball:
Pretty much agree with what you said there but just another point that im not sure will get the credit, when mcallister went of injured it meant Byrne was going to have to stay on the full game and ogbene was switched to that flank and the goal actually came from his pace getting past Byrne's understandably tired legs. Also Bradley was right in bringing bone on but he should have come on for mcallister, kept the wingers on and used the great range of passing bone and finn have to pick out the wingers and stretch limerick on the back foot. It's the little things costing Rovers just now but I think just a bit of confidence and a 4th place finish isnt out of reach.Quote:

Great point about McAllister's injury forcing Byrne to see out the game and fall victim to Ogbene's run though.
I was the exact same for the sub, i think bone is a great player and was delighted to see him come on but disappointing to see who it was for. Hopefully Bradley learns from it though and doesn't make the same mistake twice. Also good travelling crowd from Limerick, plenty of noise from them throughout.Quote:

this is something I will try to investigate further but I think Enda Curran is the first town sub to get a hattrick for us since we joined the league of ireland!Quote:

Its also the first time ever in a season that we have got three different hattricks in the same season!
1st goal shouldn't of been currens. Og if anything. Crossed the line after hitting labuts arm. But that's not important.
Athlone are a disgrace. We finally got the proof last night about what's been going on. Never been happier when that longford 3rd went in ;) it's all gonna blow up very soon.
The second goal was all the proof I needed. Absolutely unbelievable what's going on thereQuote:

Federbet are investigating it.
I will tell you that there was massive money put on longford to score in the last few minutes last night. It's all being done in China. It happened during the ucd away game too. It's all gonna come out very soon.
Doesn't there need to be an FAI assessor at every game? If something was a bit peculiar, surely they'd have been asking questions by now?
They do know about it. UEFA are investigating i believe. If the FAI do something or cover it up is a different story. Fran Gavin said he met the investor, which he didnt. Do they are leaving themselves open big time.Quote:

that fourth manager of the season with Athlone was a pumped up idiot! thought he was at a rave!Quote:

Like yourslef I wouldn't know the science behind it but some of the stuff I'm seeing online makes it hard to believe this isn't been flagged up more than just on forums and a few twitter pagesQuote:

We have discovered this pattern in at least 4 games this season. Bohemains pre season. UCD away. Waterford and longford. Maybe more. It's being heavily investigated and all these games are believe to be fixed.
This is much bigger than any of you realise. This is a massive betting ring. The guy behind it all owns 5 or 6 clubs all over Europe. And they are all match fixing clubs.

If there was some kind of repeating irregularity surrounding Athlone would betting companies still be taking bets on them?
We all believe in you too Stephen #sbgawaQuote:

Pats had a very good spell late on at 1-0 with a few chances but we got a late goal on the break to kill it off.
Galway beat Sligo on pens.
Dundalk currently 1-0 up on Waterford with an hour played.
Conor McCarthy did a very good job, I thought. Might be a valuable backup option when Ryan Delaney's loan is over.Quote:
