Limerick 37 isn't there to fcuking impress you.
The fact that they're your local team should be enough to earn support in this difficult period.
If you knew anything about the game at LoI level (I am of course absolutely amazed your not an expert being a person who both "plays football" AND "coaches underage teams") you would realise that although not pretty what you saw Friday night is often the way the game is played and is symptomatic of having to cut your cloth to fit your measure.
People complaining about the lads not playing their way out of trouble - did it ever occur to you that Finn Harps are a superior side to Kildare? Playing out of trouble on that pitch, with Conor Gethins snapping at your ankles would be akin to suicide.
Chuka by his own fairly high standards had a poor game distribution wise the other night. It could happen a bishop. It even happens junior players sometimes.
If it's enough to make you stop supporting your local team fine be my guest

It already has. Thats my point Thomas. You're boycotting it so you don't see it do you. I'm not here to defend the leader, but it's coverage has improved and the editor is a sound guy who is genuinely interested. He was at the match on Friday purely as a spectator.
hahahaha, he called you Thomas! ok im gonna buy the weekend leader and see for myself, rumour has it they had 2 big pictures on mondays edition?
I can glance at the sports pages without paying for it you know ;)Quote:

A reaction of Absolute glee anytime the L37 looked in trouble
These are just some of the recent crimes of this "newspaper".
We shouldn't have to be nice to get the rag to report properly on Limerick 37. It's their job ffs
Until such a time as they have at least a two page spread every weekend with analysis, comment, news, interviews, pictures etc from Limerick 37 my opinion of the "leader" (how ironic) will remain:

Yeah they did, Todays paper had no story (no game etc) but they still put two pics in. One of the team lining up against finn harps and the other of two young supporters at the game.Quote:

Thats all I have to say on it.
Fair enough, all we ever asked for was a bit coverage anyway. There was a fantasticly worded letter printed in the limerick post 2 weeks ago on the subject of senior soccer coverage in the media in limerick, the person who wrote this is a great person who should be rewarded!!!!!! fair play to whoever you are.Quote:

We depend heavily on these four lads and when they struggle the whole team does, but when they play to their potential the whole team plays with a lot more confidence and are a joy to watch. The first half was very poor, characterised by frantic clearances (and a very quiet crowd) - the second half was a different experience - same opposition, but more confident and purposeful play from us.Quote:

Pi$$ing in Galways water supply since 1937
LTID, do you think this kind of crap is acceptable. A lot of people in Galway were seriously ill due to there water supply been contaminated. People in Limerick wonder why the city's name is tarnished all over the country. Posting crap like that does not help, regardless of the disagreements some of you fellas had on a different thread with another poster.
SLK, get your act together and do your job as a moderator, or are your Limerick posting buddies exempt from receiving warnings??????
I used to think he was my friend but he locked a perfectly good tread in which i was having a valid and intellegent discussion with a falla from cobh, as for LTID's signiture? its wrong! wrong! wrong! he probably robbed it as ususal, as for what others think of Limerick? dont care, its usually the ones who are bitter about having to live/work/go to college/ or have to get their ambulance/fire truck/guards from here that do the most complaining.Quote:

A joke is something that's funny. I don't think the fact that people have been seriously ill because of a contaminated water supply is funny. It certainly doesn't help Limerick's reputation if some moron is posting crap like that in order to have a sly dig at someone elses expense. I certainly wouldn't like to come on here and see someone posting stuff about Limerick's stab city reputation. I can just imagine it: "On the receiving end of Limerick fans knives since 1937" or some tripe like that.Quote:

So at least take the time to sob on the correct shoulders before you have a go at me for something which isn't anything to do with me.Quote:

Actually because this thread is gone hopelessly off topic now as well I'm going to lock this too. No doubt it'll offend my friends in the old boy's club Mercurial Vapor but such is the tough job of a moderator eh? :)
