probably not naw, sure the Harps players would end up 'hacking' at the spectators nearest the pitchQuote:

Second leg will be interesting, the onus will be on Harps to come out of their shell, which should open things up a bit for Limerick.
Second clean sheet of the season for Limerick. Have to think that in itself is a missed opportunity for Harps.
Though obviously still nicely balanced for the second leg. Have to imagine whichever team is in the First Division next season will start as title favourites.
If we go down I reckon we will have basically a whole new squad next season so I don't think us going down will make us favourites where as if harps stay down and keep the squad they will most likely be favourites.Quote:

Harps imo is the opposite I was impressed with there centre half's excellent in the air but up front they were very average lad that started worked his socks off but offered very little lad that missed there only real chance plenty of pace but lacked composure as show for that chance he could of taken a touch and composed himself and rolled it un but he snatched at it.
Nathan Boyle had an open net in the first half after the centre half over hit the back pass to the keeper and it bounced over his head. Can't believe he nearly hit the fecking corner flag with his effort.
Banda's chance was one he'd had scored 10 out of 10 times for the Under 19's, I think he saw his name in lights in only his 3rd appearance for the 1st team.
Funston was cleaned inside the box in the 2nd half, stone wall pen.
Shaun Kelly with a 2 footed lung at Tony McNamee should have been a red.
That's about the total of our positives.
With Raymond Foy and Kevin McHugh injured, it took alot away from the team as we didn't keep the ball well and had no burst of pace coming from midifeld.
We still looked threatening and would hold no fear of Limerick on Friday night as they are brutal at the back.
In saying that, they have players who could hurt us and are a surperior footballing side. Damian McNulty was roasted, it was amazing that he played having spent Friday night and Saturday in hospital with food poisoning. Limerick hit the crossbar but other than that, Ciaran Gallagher didn't have any real saves to make.
Great to see such a big crowd and decent atmosphere. Hopefully Finn Park will be something similar on Friday night.
You must of been listening to the game on the radio Limerick should of been out of sight at half time your forgetting the two open goals in the first 15mins one hitting the bar another iv no idea what he was trying to do.Quote:

Were the lads on the radio making up what they saw??
I was at the game.
It wasn't clear headers unmarked, it was under serious pressure from our defenders. As I said, aside from hitting the bar, I don't remember Ciaran Gallagher making a save.
The one that hit the bar was by Damien McNulty.Quote:

Will we be on the opposite side this time?
Yeah, ye will be in our state of the art away section.......Quote:

There were plenty of Harps fans standing at the fence behind the nets too and were perfectly happy to do so.
Nice stadium at Market fields, only draw back being the stands are so far away from the pitch.
Yeah you will be in the open terrace beside the TV gantry but i don't think they are anyway strict on the movements of supporters especially if it lashes down
Whose fault was it that they missed the first twenty mins of the game? Are you suggesting they should receive a discount for arriving late for a game? How much is a stand ticket for an away supporter anyway cos im trying to work out what sort of financial transactions took place. Tell him write to the club for a refundQuote:

I overheard the stewards talking on the radios and they were saying "a bus of fans has just arrived late, the stand is full, and no tickets are left, what will we do" And someone replied "just charge them for terrace and we'll sort something". Obviously I don't know what happened after that and what they were actually charged.
I'm sure they aren't suggesting they get a discount were did you get that from?? They were late because the bus they were on got TWO tyre blowouts on the motorway coming into Limerick,
I was charged €15 into the away section. I think it was something like €12 for students.
The lads were charged €17 each for some reason.
A handful of the lads that got charged €17 each were 2nd level students, who were only meant to be charged €7. They were all told they had to be charged €17 because they didn't have correct change. All because the club sold away tickets to home fans. The lad in the ticket booth out on the road beckoned over home fans he told to go away once we walked away from the ticket booth.
The head steward was well warned in advance that there was a bus load of Harps fans that would be arriving late, but they kept letting in home fans regardless.
It was a shambles of an organisation.
I went to harps game in Jackman park a number of years ago and was charged 8 bloody euro for a burger and can of fanta, what the hell is with the massive over charging for food and drink? Do you Limerick fans pay these prices or do ye just take **** with away fans?
Didn't buy anything last night, but I think it's usually about 4.50 for a burger and chips in the home end. The times I sat in the away end with the Town lads I never got food so can't comment on away end prices, although they had no food in the away end in the MF when they played this year.Quote:
