Well I live down here so I might go to it, anyone traveling down? :)
It will be a very tough match id be delighted with a draw but nothing to say we cant win it either
Tough place to go with the squad they have... happy with a draw.
We'll need our defence and keeper on top form I feel but confidence should be high amongst the lads at the moment. A draw would do just fine.
Hynes to score
Jesus lads wheres the real optimism here? Were on a high right now & im hoping for a win. WINNING !!!!!!!!!!!!! To quote the good Lord Sheen. I will be at this also & cant wait for it. Will it take a win here by the Town for us to enter the "Are we actually capable of doing this???" sector?
BRING IT.
No reason why Longford couldn't get a win here. We are playing poor, have a few injuries and suspensions to key players and a lot of the young lads who have come in don't look up to it at the moment. In saying that Hynes has been one of our best players for effort alone ( i know i know that couldn't be right but he has) and wouldn't you know a player like that would pop up with a goal against his old club. How Scully addresses the problems from last week will have a say on the result here I would say. If he does I think we will scrape it but if he doesn't I can see ye coming away with something.
I am heading down too.. I very much hope that Alvin and Cathal would be fit for friday but somehow I cant see it happening. Graeme Dowling got a bad injury the other night so our options are limited. considering our injuries at the moment I will play it safe and go for the draw..Quote:

Will Rouse be back tonight or how long is he out for? We got away without him last week (just about) but against Limerick I'm not so sure. He just doesn't look like a capable keeper...he seems to get too excited when the ball gets near him...can make one brilliant save and then just when I seem to get some confidence in him he makes an outrageous mistake!!

Alvin made 1 or 2 decent saves, he sold himself easy along with the entire defense for the goal thou. And nearly cost us a goal ****ing about with the ball so much so that his clearance got blocked just wide.
All in all we probably deserved a draw, we were probably the better team 1st half with neither side threatening a lot, other than Cowan was cut down in the box, ref pointed at the spot then changed his mind and gave a corner. (officials were a bit dodgey for both sides all night) Limrick came out very strong in the 2nd half and scored when our cd's forgot their job is to defend.
We had a few chances then and probably had the majority of possesion but limerick looking very dangerous on the break, des hope (i think) headed into the ground and it bounced over from about 6 yards out and craig put in a few dangerous free kicks.
We played much better with in attack with skelly up there, i think himself and don together are a handful.
Now i fear i have a cold, bloody hell it was freezing
Disappointing result to lose but Limerick isn't easy to go to and get anything. If memory serves we lost 3-0 there last year. Saw nothing only the extratime updates but sounds like we had a couple of chances to snatch something. Two home games coming up and the boy Gillespie to come in (!) we move on to the next one.

Tbf ye had slightly the better of a very poor 1st half but ye still didnt really do anything.
Going on the second half we slightly deserved the win i think.
Don Cowan is a danger but apart from that dont think ye have that much going forward are ye missing a few?
yeah keith gillespie! Austin Skelly is only coming back to full fitness now.. The last time we won in jackman park was two and a half years ago when Liam Lynchs hatrick for us secured for us a 4-1 win.. At least this time it was civilised in jackman this time compared to the previous away game from last season!Quote:

Yeah the game was very scrappy i thought & not easy on the eye. Limerick just about deserved it but we had a few missed chances, that header downward that bounced up over the bar was so close. And what about the penalty that never was??? It was like the Liverpool Roma UEFA cup game a few years back. Cowan was bundled over & the referee blows the whistle runs & points to the penalty spot. Then when he gets there he points for a corner !!!! WTF??? Clear penalty, gives it then changes his mind????????
How did you get cold Acornvilla?? I thought it was a very mild night altogether!!!
Anyway lets hope Gillespie adds some sort of spark to this set up.
ah they just don't make man like they used tooQuote:

I didn't see too many complaints from the Longford players either, but as I said, from where I was (behind dugouts) it looked a penalty.Quote:

An impotent fury if there ever was one.
what I mean bluewhitearmy is the famous invasion from the housing estate next door by a little scut from limerick who was buck naked. .He climbed a wall ran after yer famous cheerleaders. He climbed on top of a chipvan and urinated from it. He then ran back over the wall! and I saw a limerick fan box a steward in the face because he was refused entry into the game!Quote:

Sure all the linesmen in the LOI have great vision when it comes to LongfordQuote:
