How accurate is that? And does anybody know what happened to O'Flynn?
It was bad enough in the first half that someone had on twitter that the game could be fixed and a lot of us believed it hahaQuote:

No idea what happened John but seen him after the game and he was walking fine so hopefully nothing too serious.
Jaded me eye, we were just absolutely dire. No interest on the pitch or in the dugout going by the starting line-up.
shelbourne are pants ****tingly awful though so weren't able to capitalise.
If that's us for the rest of the season I'd be putting the Christmas club money on cobh.
Shels seem like a particularly hopeless case in the graveyard at the moment, not strong enough for a promotion push and in a crumbling stadium.
Nothing to do with Limerick that point, but I caught myself thinking about the clubs in the FD recently and which ones are viable in the long term.
Were you at the game in Tolka? Crowd was worrying I reckon they were even stretching it with 400+ tbhQuote:

Mad how Shane Tracy was a left back again all of a sudden he wasn't seen as a left back for 2 weeks.
And there we go.Quote:

As a squad and a management team, it was appalling. Did we have a shot on target? I don't think so.
For much of the season we've had spells in game like last night - where we grind to a halt for a while and look utterly mediocre, before we finally wake up. Last night we were up against a team with real fight and spirit in them, and we looked mediocre all night. We were shocking, and even after all the success so far, it's sickening.
I think there is always something to aim for.
When the division was effectively won so early we could have aimed for 100 league goals or an unbeaten season. It's a pity we haven't achieved either.
About what you could expect tonight with the changes made but no problem with giving some of the lads a game really. Hope the crowd is much better Saturday to get the cup.
What was the attendance last night?
I missed the game with work
They didn't give the attendance. Would 400 be a sensible estimate?
Ya 400-500 I'd say. The crowd can really get lost in the stand when the attendance is low.
Good result tonight. Team was in control in the first half and took advantage of some terrible defensive sloppiness with the two goals, before that bizarre sending off (seemed like the ref rushed over to stop Mulhall talking to the linesmen to avoid personal embarrassment as much as anything). But Limerick shut things down really well in the second.
Great atmosphere all game, really nice occasion.
With so much at stake for Drogheda, amazed they didn't produce better.
I thought the same, they were a better, more determined side in previous games.Quote:

Delighted with your result last night:cool: It's up to us now to make it count next week. I was more worried about Drogheda winning last night than UCD the night before as I felt that if Drogs secured a play-off place last night that there was always a chance that they would ease up in their game against UCD next week. Thankfully that scenario is gone now.Quote:

Last game in first division was showed people what first division really is all about terrible ground terrible game no atmosphere whatsoever a great reminder of what we are getting away from. Great season though tbf more than I had hoped for at the start of the season anyway especially with the final and all even with the result in that.
Duggy and Mulhall nominated for first division player of the year.
Freddy,Tracy,Robbie,Paudie,Duggy,Lee J,Greene and Mulhall on team of the year. Harsh on Stephen Kenny to miss out.
Due to the time out injured you probably could have slotted Kenny in ahead of Greene.
