Looking forward to the massive crowd we are set to host, the atmosphere should be electric but on the pitch im expecting a heavy beating.
I expect to lose but I don't know if it'll be a heavy beating. Nutsy's teams away from home generally settle for winning first and foremost, 0-2 is my prediction. Also forecasting every Garda unit in Longford and Roscommon to be in attendance, plus dogs. The club have been guilty of over reacting in the past but they'll have little or no say on Saturday. The FAI will have their stewards down too probably.
Nice little earner for the nGardai alright.Quote:

Very proud of our product and supporters!
We learned a lot from our trip to Oriel.....so no, away fans are not allowed in from now on.
Limerick down one within four minutes...
St. Pats 2-0 up on Bray
Bohs & Sligo both 1 up now too
Not ye anyway :)Quote:

Drogheda and Sligo are level, Daryl Kavanagh.
Wexford and Athlone both ahead in the First Division.
Annnnnd Shane Duggan sent off after half an hour.
Peers puts Rovers 2-1 up on his 300th appearance.
3-0 at HT in Turner's Cross. Bad, bad half for Limerick.
Athlone 3 up at HT
Derry 0-1 Dundalk FT
5-0 FT, seems to have been an exceptional game for the Dennehys, with both Darren and Billy notching braces.Quote:

Cork very impressive tonight, Karl Sheppard was excellent up top, limerick are very poor, potential wiping boys this season
Attendance of over 4800 also, great turn out.
Cabinteely are absolutely bloody terrible. There was only one team in the game in Finn Park. Ruairi Keating is head an shoulders above every striker in the division too and a mystery how he was let back to Harps but, we are most certainly not complaining.
Confidence in Harps chances of pushing for the league grew tonight greatly. Despite an incredibly horrible playing surface, we still played some lovely football and really look positive and attacking, which I didn't think I'd ever say about an Ollie Horgan side.
5 goals and he couldn't even get 1 of them... not impressed (had Cork to win and Karl anytime goalscorer at 9/5)Quote:

Maybe so, but early days for most sides. However, it will be April until we can see the real strengths of most sides, and a key game amongst others will be at the cross, where I am making my debut! Can't wait.Quote:

Finn is a joy to watch. It was never expected that he would play with Towell, but they are linking up very well.
Cheers Derry.We wont be back.

There were about 50-60 youths waiting outside the ground to stone the buses. I doubt they were at the game. There was a good atmosphere in the ground and fans were getting on well together.
Where were the police? We can't have a big game in Oriel Park, without the Guards insisting on the horses, dogs, and the riot squad in attendance.
There's fortunes to be made backing big against Limerick this year. Cork -2 was like walking into the bookies with a sawn off and a balaclava.
Worse squad than that six point Galway team, I will be astonished if we score a league goal this season.
Derry and the PSNI have an understanding that the latter can vacate their responsibility to policing around the ground in case it upsets the locals. Clearly it's working out very well.Quote:

I've never had any problems in Derry, great city, great people.
