Waterford (Home)

I feel we need to win this as much to keep Waterford down while the chance is there as to push us up the league. If Waterford come to Limerick and get a win it will give them a huge boost in confidence not to mind moving ahead of us in the league and I can see them starting to string results together again. Going on what was said last week if we hold our nerve and perform like that again we should be taking all 3 points. I hate playing the top teams at home though, its nearly always bad news. Would like to see the same team start again and hopefully the late equaliser last week doesn't affect the team.

Limerick 1-0 Waterford Att:560

can i make a sugestion that might help us against waterford,and for the rest of the season Bring back the Cheer Leaders :cool:.

Yung wans in fake tang dancing badly can be found in the Icon every weekend. As for the game we'll get a draw. (if we're lucky)

1-1

If we play the way we played against monaghan then we should beat Waterford handy enough....At the end of it we were unlucky in Monaghan the equaliswer wasnt even a header it just hit the defender on tthe back of his head.

Steve, Hynes and Paudie were brilliant against Mons if tehy keep that up i cnat see Waterford being able to handle them....Willy John Kiely is a good player but he was only back for the 1st time last week i think so will be lacking match fitness.....When i seen them play this year the only person id worry about would be Paul Murphy.

2-0 Limerick.

a few good results starting with waterford would put us back in the firing line.Nothing is impossible.

Limericks chance to show if they have the bottle for it tomorrow night.

If they bottle it tomorrow we may as well start planing for 1st division again next season.

2-0 Limerick. Early goal to settle us down.

Seems to me that it's that point already in the season...happens every year....the game we bill as having to win or we've no chance of going up. What I really hate is that you'll start to see the crowds drop and the usual around town about why going up to watch that ****

2 lads used to go all the time and we had one of these games against Dundalk think we lost 4-1 never seen them again(well I have...just not at a Limerick game)

Hopefully 1-0 but I'll go for 1-1

I think tonight the lads should win,we have the a squad of players that have plenty of ability and are starting to play as a unit.
2-1 to Limerick

That's my point "and a draw or a loss will confine us to a season in mid table of Div 1" people will start saying this and crowds drop off. I don't think it defines our season myself this team is very capable of winning a few games on the trot....I think what'll define our season is Scully's completely ridicolous substitutions and his over cautious approach when we're ahead...which are probably one and the same thing

Not at all, its only mid May. Yes we need to win but we need to win every game. What if we win 5-0 tonight and then go out and draw with Harps next week?
People need to calm down a little, when we win we're the best in the league when we lose we're useless, we're neither, we're just alright with a chance (if Scully cops on a small bit) of an interesting season pushing for a play-off spot.

Agree with a lot of this.

BUT :)

Lose tonight and statistically you can probably write this season off as a bad job, we're about five points off where we should be at the end of series 1, you'd be looking at roughly 45 points needed from last 20 games then?! :D In all my years following Limerick we've never looked anywhere close to being that consistent.

Basically it's more winnable than some of the games you'd fancy us to quite possibly lose in the coming weeks (Longford away, Cork home) so in that sense it's important.

Then again as you point out, we're more than capable of beating Waterford 8-0 then losing 1-0 to Harps. :)

Don't think it will define our season but the confidence we should get will be a great help. It might help put to bed the fact we don't do the business when it counts. With Shels playing Cork tonight it's a great opportunity.

"Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.":D

this one game doesnt define our season but its the 1st time we have played one of the top teams at home this year and if we bottle it here then i dont think we have any hope of keeping our nerve against the likes of Cork or Shels when they come to Jackman.

LFC 2-1 Waterford
LFC 3-1 Finn Harps

Fine win, absolute heart in mouth time at the end with a free header going wide on the 95th min!
Smallest crowd of the year?

yep deffo smallest crowd of the year and tbh i thought there would have been 250/300 more but dunno where there gone. Good and much required win although i wasnt happy with the subs late on again cos we play a 4 3 1 2 when u take off the central midfield and bring on a defender in that position it means your now playing a 7 01 2 formation bringing the unnessary pressure onto us against a poor waterford side. Next up harps and another must win

Also confusion which was also not helped by Scully roaring contradictory instructions
