Our defence is better
A comment as predictable as it is :oQuote:
need the keano mantality in a team
There's always been a big gap between the first and the premier division. There are simply not enough premier quality player sin the league. Like any club, Dundalk will recruit if/when they get promoted.
Of the sides I've seen Dundalk are the best, but Shels are gelling well now and have a lot of quality but are short on experience. I stick with my 1-2 of 1. Dundalk 2. Shels.
I hate saying it, but hoofing from the back is the way to go in the First Division. With poor pitches and most teams playing a pressure game playing sideways or backwards passes is asking for trouble. Obviously, Cobh were playing on Dundalk's artificial surface last weekend so they could pass it about in a bit more safety.
our team are always good passers, the pitch at coleman park is been watered like there is no tomorrow recently, probably for the areas they resoded, but i remember last year dundalks manager even said there surface suits us better than themselfs, i wouldnt mind an artifical suface in our ground, and LTID your old head should know paper means notin, if that was the case we shouldnt bother playin and give it to dundalk, i wouldnt make a comment sayin our defence is better cause we could concede 6 goals there next week,
and if ye do ill mention it :D
and the keano comment should have been limerick FCs motto last year, they were headin up there mid season, there fans couldnt stop boasting about it, untill we beat them in coleman park (while they were top) to start a 7 game losing streak,
ahh fond memeories of season 2006,
whatever happened to them i wonder
We reorganised ourselves so we don't end up threading water like a certain Queenstown club foreverQuote:

There is no doubt that all these guises of Limerick Senior soccer are the one club, only one or two berudgers and non educated foreigners think otherwise. We're boxing above our mantel right now and June cant come quickly enough :ball:
And in those 75 years the only thing of note your club has done is to give Roy Keane a game and take one of the Westlife lads on loan for a bit. What a proud history....Quote:

You talk as if I never went to Limerick FC games Don, with your them not you spiel. Anyway I'll be sure to look out for the Westlife appreciation wall when I'm next in your clubhouse, maybe you could ask Nicky for one of Westlife's platinum albums to hang in your club honours section?Quote:

anyway back to the tread does anybody want to update there predictions, if not could a mod lock the thread, as it bacome a joke since the lim lads came on as usual, if they were able to stick to a point id be surprised
Jebus -whats the mood in the camp leading up to the game against us on friday ? Will there be a big crowd ? After hammering athlone 6-2, we`ve put in two very lack lustre performances v mons + cobh, both 0-0. I`d say you have a decent chance of getting something out of this game, put it this way, on current form i`d certainly not be unhappy coming home with a point.
It was 1-1 in the Monaghan game. ;)Quote:

The point I was making young don is that if your lot could hold Dundalk or anyone else for that matter scoreless then our lot should have no problem doing likewise if they play to their abilitiesQuote:

Dunno about the camp but my mood is one of pessimism which only a visit of Dundalk can bring. Even very good Limerick sides (and this one isn't very good) never beat DundalkQuote:

Jebus' post above pretty much sums up the physche of our "sports mad" cityQuote:
Will there be a big crowd ?
Having said that anything under a thousand and i'd be gutted
Thanks LTID and Jesus for that - alays interesting to hear a view from away fans. Holiday, dont know why i said 0-0 v Mons, I was even at that 1-1 draw !
Looking forward to the game tomorrow night! You able to go? Only found out this morning I would be able to and can't wait! :cool:
Person in "can't wait" to get to Limerick shocker :eek: :DQuote:
