No I think that was for a foul on the keeper. Very soft from where I was standing but they're given more often than not these days.Quote:

Odumoso seems to be having a bit of a nightmare spell also, going to pick up the ball, then realising it was a back pass and that hesitation meant he didnt get the ball cleared. I thought he was a solid back up level keeper so is he just having a rough patch or is he a liability keeper.
Pike and Fairview have always been strong junior clubs, so surely their players should be capable of stepping up to the First Division?Quote:

Was talking to a lad who coaches one of the underage teams at Bohs last night who was certain that Croly would join with Long if it happened but I can't see that at all myself.
Might have been yourself. Two of you's together and the other man said it feels like a win.Quote:

I honestly haven't a clue.Quote:

Like if you're going to sign a squad to struggle in the first division is it worth bringing in a (just for example im not mad familiar with team) conroy who hasn't sniffed the bench at bohs in place of a local youngfella?
And if its a thing that the standard of the underage lads just isn't up to it then number one why and number two is there money being spent down in the academy that could be spent on a better quality of first teamer?
It's just no limerick in the name, no limerick people in the team, no real hope of any improvement (ie no money), where's it going?
? Probably me.Quote:

Slogget absolutely brilliant for us and Boyle immense. Derry fans looking to get sloggs sent off is a testememt to his skill.
More please Greg!
Meanwhile,the bluff of Clancy at pats is fcuking brilliant
On Bohs turn of fortunes, Devine has generally put together pretty good sides, free-scoring Derry in his first stint there an example. The issue that has followed him is that he doesn't seem to get that form sustained. I have no thoughts on why nor is it knocking Bohs, it will just be interesting to see whether things stall and stagnate again or not.
The standard of junior soccer is through the floor.Quote:

We signed Jack Arra who was top scorer in the league at that time but he was miles off it.
Ronan Geary, Sean Oyibo, Adam Gallagher, Josh Coady, Nikodem Kozlowski, Leon Kirrane, Fionn Doherty, Lee Mulready, Scott Kirkland, Darren Nwankwo are just some of the names that have been involved at first team level.Quote:

Darren Nwankwo and Robbie Lynch both trialled with Blackburn Rovers of late and will feature soon I'd say. Josh Quinlivan and Scott Kirkland are both academy graduates that are in the squad every week.
I don't entirely disagree with you there. Now in fairness to Conroy he is from Laois and studying in Limerick which is fair, but I think Darren Collins is a waste of time and that Fionn Doherty would be worth putting first team minutes into over the likes of Colin Kelly.Quote:

Fairplay on the youngsters as i say not overly familiar it just struck me looking at the starting eleven struggling where are the 19s but theyre around so fair enough.
I'll blame Paud for a lot but not the name. That it's constantly put around that twas somehow pauds fault just shows everyone involved knows twas a terrible decision.
"He was going to sue us"
For using the word Limerick. Would have been an interesting court case.
The fact his bluff wasn't called shows treaty are potless.
Which is a pity.
Cos the thing about local support is clubs aren't entitled to it they have to try earn it. And I don't think the product being put out by treaty is going to do it
I'd like to see them going well. I'd be there every week if they were. But there isn't really any connection there and they are an absolutely ****e watch so it's a meh from me at the moment.
I will once again mention that we reached the playoffs twice and got to an FAI Cup Semi-Final.Quote:

It looks like I'm ****ing into the wind talking to you because your mind is made up no matter what I say.
I didn't want to go there because it could be interpreted as petty when I'm not trying to be petty I'd prefer if they were better.Quote:

The credit for the two playoff appearances goes to the expanded first division
The reality was a bog standard mid table first division side, the kind Limerick FC used to put out for years and years that nobody cared about.
Could funds from elsewhere in the club be put towards a better first team product? Of course they could. But the first team doesn't seem to be Treatys priority. Which is fine, they can prioritise whatever they like. But don't be cribbing when a path isn't being beaten to the Markets Field
The ****ing against the wind minds made up you hate us anyway etc talk is only auld ****e to be honest if they were worth watching I'd go and watch them, why wouldn't I?
I suppose your right in that nothing you're going to say could really convince me to watch them. But its not up to you to convince people to watch them, it's up to those running the club themselves.
100% agreed, Dundalk were decent in the in the first half, and possibly shaded it, second half only one team trying to win it and that was not us ! That said our defence stood up and were excellent, really well organised too, Boyle was superb, but all of the play Derry had, not sure Sheps made more than 1 or 2 decent saves.Quote:

One goal now conceded by us in 3 games, that's the type of improvement that was called for.
The vast majority of Fans were appreciative of the teams efforts last night yes some boos but also shut down by the vast majority in our support. We have just won 3 league titles in a row and the sense of entitlement the minority of fans who think of us just having to turn up to be given games is laughable. We have lost 1 league game and may go the rest of the season perhaps only losing 3 or 4 more. Its a different challenge for the team when compared to other years lets see how we get on. WAR. Only 1 team trying to win last night on a pitch that i feel may have been prepared not to have a nice passing game.
From being in the Carlisle last night neither side will be in the playoffs this season. We could have easily have lost last night. No atmosphere -performance was flat from both sides. Looks like a huge rebuild ahead this year Im afraid!
Another 2 goal lead let slip by Cork tonight....
Sbhocking peno decison for a pen cost Cork.
Questionable foul and questionable if it was in the box
Hard to tell from the stream if its a foul or even in the box,the ref could'nt have been in a better position though.
sickening way to lose 3 pts there didnt look like a foul to me. we were desperate in the final 30 infairness, gave sligo all the ball. we had no intention of trying to hold onto it. another harsh lesson.
Watched last 15, abs no need for the Cork City defender to tackle just inside the box, should have 'jockeyed' the Sligo guy out or sideways, he left ref with easy choice.
From 2-0 up Healy will furious of not hanging on, but to be fair on Sligo they kept going and going and a draw looked a fair outcome in the end from other updates I read.
Missed this CS, although I went back on earlier post and agreed abs no way Dundalk deserved to win (ridiculous even to suggest), there is no way Derry dominated the game, second half no question, but if i was calling it, id say Dundalk possibly shaded it first half.Quote:

we deserved little from that 2nd half sligo must have had 80% possession. didnt create a whole pile but we did ourselves no favoursQuote:

Thought the penalty was given for handball myself. We were very poor. Lots of possession but mainly across the back line and created very little from it. Cork went close twice after scoring the second. Suppose at least we kept going and got a point.
Nah, it was given for a truly terrible dive. Shocking penalty decision.Quote:

We’ll it looked like it hit his hand from where I was and he certainly didn’t complain too much about it. Barlow loves to throw himself to the ground. Should have gotten a second yellow against Shams for it.
Probably a fair summary. Dundalk started better for sure.Quote:

Hard watch at the MF fri night ,Cobh deserved their victory in the end ,surprised to see Alec Byrne on the bench as the team needs a baller in midfield,teams have so far defended Treatys only real way to goal ie setplays quite well and the home teams defending was at times inexcusable. .Tommy Barrett needs a win next week or there will be more away fans at the MF than home ones at the next home game.Again no local in the starting eleven and just one player from the midwest.
