A real sense of excitement ahead of the game in this forum!!!
TC has a selection headache if he wants to bring Ricer back in. Hard to drop anyone after winning 3-0 away in Galway. Still though, it's great that the full squad is available and the team is in such good form. Roll on Saturday.
Shels without Lee Murtagh who physically would have been a threat.
Looking like we'll have a stronger squad than last week. Only had 4 subs including Bennion on the bench in Galway. Where was all the u-19 players that signed? Normally TC would fill the bench with them when we're short. Also I see in the paper TC said he'll have to bring in one or two because one or two are gone.......who's gone???
Maybe some of the u19's :P
Maybe Deans and Carrigy? Carrigy hasn't been seen near the place and Deans after his stupid red in Shel's could be shown the door.
I'd say he means the u19s who were on the bench previously. Carrigy was supposed to be registered in this window when they missed the February deadline. Whether that is still the plan or not I don't know. Deans will be kept as cover I'd say.
Hard to know what way he will line out v shels as he played mulhall on the wing last time against them, rice will start id say! As for players coming in, a winger is what we need !
I'd imagine when TC says a few have left he is referring to the u19 players such as dean Murphy who left a few weeks ago. As said above a huge selection headache in midfield with Don scoring last week you'd imagine hel retain his place and while Shannon hasn't been superb of late he is contributing with solid performances in my opinion and for that reason Kevin O'Connor won't be moved out wide as he hasn't the legs for that sort of game so you'd imagine Kev will move out for Ricer which is the right decision in my eyes as harsh as it may be to Kev but that's football and that's why we have a squad as strong as we do for situations like last week.
I am genuinely more excited and up for this game than I have been for any in a long time and I really fancy us to beat this lot this time around after 2 close calls In recent meetings. If we do lose I won't be one of the many who I'm sure will say we won't win the title etc Etc as I keep drawing my mind back to the season limerick lost 4 times to Waterford yet still won the title and as we have a game in hand that's very well what might happen to us, as long as we win the title I don't care but it would be nice to shut these tramps up in the process.
3-1 town my prediction
With 5 or 6 clean sheets in a row now and the back four so strong im going to go with a 2 -0 town predictionQuote:

Who won the football tennis?!!
Whoever won wins the contract.

Interview with himself again. Spoke slightly less ****e than usual this time, helps when you're winning thou I guess :D
I'm seriously considering coming down from Limerick for the night to watch this.
cant wait for this match tonight should be a good one
id say 1-0 to town
With Galway dropping points last night, a win tonight would be greatly appreciated to put a bit of distance between us and them.
Great win better 3 points Kevin O Connor motm for me followed by Gary Shaw then David O Sullivan couldn't really complain about anyone, didn't think Glen deserved to be sent off thought if Shels had a decent playmaker we could have been in trouble
I didn't think they ever looked like scoring really and we could have had 8! We're a much better side when we play as we can.
That was class! Can't understand how Shels have gone back so much as a team in the last two months.
Those Groundhoppers are welcome to the CCS anytime, if that's the type of performance we produce.
Unfortunately I was on the losing end of the football tennis, what can you do!
Only made it at half time, thrilled with the performance and result! #Town
Great result.
At the rate I am going I might make one game this year at home. A disgrace I am!
Injuries and suspensions have hurt us. Losing the 2 players to the Ireland under 19's came at the worst possible time. Since then we've struggled to find any kind of form. You've got to remember it's a very young team. Out of the 10 players that finished the game tonight,the oldest is 22 and 6 are teenagers.Quote:
