Poor enough game I thought. Shams better team in the first half without really creating a huge pile of chances and thought we were the better team in the second half but only created the one real chance in injury time. Kirby certainly improved things when he came on for Joey. Raf was rubbish again. His first reaction when he gets the ball is to turn back and play it back to the full back. Clarkes kickouts were absolutely shocking and the goal came from yet another one of his bad kickouts.
A point was daylight robbery, Monaghan were really poor. Sava had to make 2 top drawer saves to keep it at 1-0. The kick-off was delayed a good 10 minutes and the defence just went to sleep for the first goal. Limerick were well set up to defend a lead and carved the United defence open on the break, plus they won everything in the air for 93 minutes, Alan Byrne was the only one tall enough to compete. Playing Isichei was worse than having 10 men, too many aimless balls into the corner for him to chase and he doesn't have the touch to bring other players into the game. At least having the two Brennans up front would make the team have to keep possession instead of having the ball coming straight back to us.
That said, a 94th minute equalizer is a nice feeling :)
We were muck really but like has been said we were missing key players and Limerick are very big, strong and physical. Man they like to throw themselves about! They were the best team I have seen so far this season and only have Athlone left to see. They really played as a unit and shut us down every time. Delighted with a point. We were calling it our 1-1 win last night coz thats how it felt.
We were only a decent striker away from getting a point really. Had Shams under pressure for the last 20 minutes. It was a mistake from Clarke that gave away the goal in the end, he really didn't have that much to do second half. As for Joey, he's not fully fit but I still expect him to come good again.Quote:

Good craic at the start of the game too with the quality banner. Big red face on Mo'N.
or perhaps upgrade to something that wasnt made at the turn of the last century. :DQuote:

Shels fans were all saying the same thing after we played them, I just don't see it!Quote:

I'd give you the rest of the back four and the two boys upfront mind although for a fella of his size (there's a brilliant photo of himself and Philly Hughes knocking around) I think Brian McCarthy should put himself about a bit more!
6 (SIX) yellow cards for Monaghan, one (for handball) for Limerick last night. :rolleyes:Quote:

If Athlone beat ye they're ahead of us. :bulgy:Quote:

I wish we were half as impressive as opposition fans say we are. :D
Brian McCarthy v Philly Hughes: (worth a post of its own)

The GUST notes in last nights match programme made for an interesting read, just like Nick Leeson's financial accounting! ;P
It was in a secret code that only the home fans have been told about!Quote:

Shels have beaten Salthill 1-0 away in Drom to return to the top of the First div.
I just presumed it was your club accounts! giving the answers to the questions by asking questions again, another Galway code? - answering a question with a question. Still a better programme that the Drogs effort!! First time in Terryland since the new stand it looks great. Pity about the gale blowing up the pitch contributing to a lot of over hit passes and generally making a poor game worse.Quote:

Nothing for Derry to be wondering about, they had three men sent off ffs.

You have to be honest and admit that Bray must consider us the 4th easiest game that they could be facing Monday and that is why I say were a losing team,teams want to play us cos they feel were an easy game now. Beleive me I take no pleasure in saying this and I hope it turns around but cant see how. Again I dont beleive any striker looking to challange for honours would join us before Derry,Bray,Dundalk or Bohs so no striker = no goals.
Yeah, there were a couple of problems with the programme. It was the first time I've ever seen it happen.Quote:

Sorry to hear that sligoman please dont take everything so literal . You are of course right not battered just beaten, and Derry yes just a little joke." NDO finally " well it means not soon enough. Now just to be clear we have lost,been beaten and/or not won in 4 attempts with shams and I find this very upsetting. This is why I react with anger twoards the team and management, with frustration through words on a damn computer because I cant be there to whinge in person. I dont see anything wrong with complaining about them as there paid (yes I am a member) to do their best each week. OH YES NOT A SHAMS FAN, all the best just the same.Quote:

Yeah, scraped it. Shels are getting like Mourhinio's Chelsea. 1-0, 1-0, 1-0...Better pick it up for next week, though.Quote:

Another win and clean sheet for the worst professional footballer in the LOI, Dan Murray over pauliek's maestros :eek:
Highlights of the win could be Murray's acknowledgement of the fans for a change, Mannus' save or Ndo running the ball straight out of play having got past Sullivan in the second half :D
