hopefully our 1st 3pts of the season here
probably in front of a dozen people and a few crisp bags blowin across tha park!
im driving down to it and Massop10 will be at it too.. If I was coming from Nenagh whats the quickest way to arrive at yer place please?
Might be heading down to it myself, one of the few grounds I have never been to! Would fancy us to get something from the game, although I'd like to see us start games better, as we can't keep going a goal or two down and expect to come back every week.
anyone driving up and back to longford then?? im down in limerick until friday but am getting a bus back to longford :(
You won't have to worry about that down here.Quote:

limerick 2 longford 0
really poor first half limerick were dire they had 2 good chances never took them longford came into the game and should of prob scored 3 or 4 goals in the first 45 alone some very poor defending pat purcell cant come back quick enough.
big improvment second half well taken goal by tierney and a pen scored by tracey.
there are about 4 or 5 players on the team that are way out of there dept no 8 very poor player
IMO midtable again maybe 1 or 2 places higher but nowhere near good enough to get promoted
att last week 851
att this week 441
last weeks attn was 818 this weeks was 425 and i thought that was bloody brilliant as the weather tonight was unreal. With only 262 seats in the stand i thought that was going to be it. Great atmosphere in the stand and a real welcomming one to any fans. We were crap in the first half and if Longford had finished any of their first half chances we were in big trouble but when Tierney took his they collapsed and the pen followed.Quote:

At least we have 3 points cause i really thought we were in deep s**t at half time last night.Crowd was decent as it was an awful night.
Surprised that so many turned out in what was a awful night, could have been 3 up or 3 down at half time. Huge question mark over some of the players last night during that first half, fair enough the conditions were poor and your not going to get a good game but half of them couldnt get into the changing rooms quick enough.
2nd half have much better in fairness but how the defence just switched off (not the first time either) after we got the first is a cause of concern.
Another fine display from JT, lack of effort is not something that can be aimed at John.
About the defence we have to remember 3 of the 4 playing there last night are midfielders.
Pretty sure Kelly played most of last season in defence for Galway. Hughes and Boyle though should not be fullbacks. Its not there positions and while they are trying, they are being made look poor in those positions.Quote:

Our fullbacks were obviously not fullbacks as mentioned above and we will be mauled putting out a back four like that all season. Would like to see Jason start in midfield. Not too familiar with the whole squad...do we have any better full back options? (I know Deady didn't play...but he is not on the field for his defensive qualities anyway, although I think he's improving as a defender over last year). Maybe when Purcell is back can one of the current CBs move out to full?
Tierney had a great game and our front 6 really got on top in the second half. That's 2 home games in a row we've dominated the opposition in the second half, results from a strong offseason I would think. We still haven't created much yet though, goals from a penalty and a route 1 ball last night...don't remember us opening them up too much but the conditions were terrible in fairness and that will all come as we get a few more games in.
A win in Ballybofey could make for a bumper crowd v Cork on Good Friday.
different formation,players playing out of position and still early in the season so the performances are going to be up and down.both sides had chances first half,could have easily been 3-3 at half time.much improved in the 2nd half,the goals of course helped that.id like to see limerick get a midfielder who can pass the ball and keep the play flowing.john lester would be alot more use playing with limerick.
a clean sheet though with a patched up defence is a huge bonus

P.S - Anyone going to Finn Harps?
Hundreds!Quote:

Just dont like him, simple as that. We usually just pick on one player before a game to abuse and it starts from there.

That list could go on, to be fair to Derry Its only a handfull of their lads I dislike and not the club itself.Quote:
