Limerick vs Waterford.

Very big game here. I expect the other teams around us to pick up 3 points this weekend so this is a vital game. If Waterford win we are talking about a six point gap but if we do we are level. I think this could turn into a cracker. The weather is going to put a bit of a dampener on the crowd but i'd still be hopeful of the 800 mark. I'd be hoping Scully will be starting the same team for this as he did last friday barr maybe one or two changes. Maybe O Leary in for Lyons if he's injured and Rogers in for Boylers. O'Flynn probably isn't match fit as it was mentioned before he is trying to get full fit so Kavanagh and Tierney to stay up front. If he is match fit i'd like Kav pushed out to the wing and O'Flynn and Tierney up front. Although Tracy scored last week i think there is no harm leaving him out as other players have been performing better.

I'm going to go for 2-2.

Id take a draw in this alright.

I reckon Steve will be on the bench with Clarke and JT up front as i think Kav is suspended.

Because Boylers isn't a left back and Rogers is one of the best defenders in the division.

I'd take the draw, we're not as gelled as Waherfurr.

Having said that, if we draw Salthill and Wexford are kinda must wins!!!

LFC 2-1 WUFC (Tierney & Clarke) Att: 900

No Kav,Judge or Hughes for this one all 3 suspended.

Not sure if Yellow is fit after going off against Cork.

Think we will win this 2-1. Hopefully we see some Rogers and Steve O tomorrow night. After beating Cork, and drawing with Derry away recently, this will be another good indicator as to how well we have come on.

Ah who am I kidding. We will trash them 412-0 and walk this tin pot league. :D

0 - 0, awful refereeing, okay performance. Stevo had a few chances when he came on, Waterford finished with 10.

i will tell ye why limerick wont get promoted simple really its the thing the LDMC like to call a pitch.
its the worst pitch iv seen in a long time shocking you could see the sand kicking up off the surface when players were running the field was not even cut it had bald patches of sand all over it. THE LDMC are a complete joke of all the money there raping off clubs with there 4 yellow card fines etc etc you think they would look after the field every single person i was talking to could not get over the state the field was in. its killing limerick they like to pop the ball around but cant do it on that surface sooner we are out of that hole the better :mad:

i thought limerick had a groundsman working in there.i agree the pitch is a disgrace towards some of the junior clubs pitches even yere own is better than that,and that is a new pitch which is still maturing.limerick cannot put money into the pitch during their off season because the junior clubs use it then,so its a no win situation,they'll just have to get on with it.what's the story with willy john tom,is he finished or is he still going to give it a go.

i dont know pal to be honest but if he did im sure everyone would understand

Especially when it's not in use, it needs to be maintained. I agree it was an absolute disgrace, and Limerick are losing out because we have the players to play good football if the pitch was in good condition (apparently Turner's Cross suited us last week, yeah?) . . .

Needs to be sorted.

That said I think we'll beat enough of the mid-table teams at home to keep us in the fight. The Derry's Cork's and such will be the problem with the shocking state of Jackman.

On a positive: Stevo's back and looks like when he gets going will be back to last season's form :)

Now i know we can't exactly complain cause we don't have a pitch of our own but seriously what happened the pitch? Only a few weeks ago against Finn Harps it wasn't in half the state and i don't think there has been any games on it recently. Its like they put down weedkiller, burnt half the pitch with it and then threw down a load of sand. Its the worst ive seen it over the last 3 or 4 seasons and definately the worst pitch in LOI football including the A league. When you compare Jackman with Terryland park it really shows how far behind Limerick and the LDMC are.

Ya turners suited them down to the ground last week.

Team was Ryan, Deady, Rodgers, Purcell, Kelly, Tracy, White, Yellow, Kiely, Tierney, Clarke. Attendance: 610

Limerick were the better team and created more clear cut chances. Tierney prob should have had a goal in the first half, that aside he played very well. Rodgers looks a very good addition, good on the ball and very composed. Kiely look decent as well, worked hard all game. I was surprised to see Clarke go off, he was playing very well at the time, but when you are looking for a goal and have a player of Stevo's calibre on the bench I suppose it’s understandable. He looked all right when he came on, linked up with JT well. Scully will have a hard time picking his two starting strikers now. Our main problem though is our centre midfield in my opinion. I know that the pitch didn’t allow it but I didn’t see one attack set up or run come from the centre of the park. Ref was a joke as well, Waterford players throwing elbows the whole night and not a thing done about it. Disappointing to draw, still though was vital that we didn’t loose this game and sets us up nicely for the games against Salthill and Wexford, where we will have to take all 6 points if there is any ambitions of promotion.
