5-0 to Limerick. 👀
Same team named as that which beat Galway. Hope McDonald's fixed on something that works.
"Even if Limerick finish one point above the relegation places its been a very successful season" Noel O'Connor speaking after tonights game. Now I like Noel and from what people tell me he is usually quite good when people listen to him on that thing but what complete and utter nonsense that is. I mean really like it is an absolutely joke that we are in the position we are in and if we just scrape up while being happy we didn't go down how much do you actually have to be fooling yourself to believe that it is somehow a success. I'm sure Ai...Da Bishop will be on to tell us how absolutely fantastic the coverage was even with a 7 second delay but I found that comment laughable.
I'll correct myself a bit he said "successful" not "very successful" still utter nonsense but thought I'd be accurate.
We brought in a manager on north of €100k who has no clue about the league or the players in it. Martin Russell was infuriating but there has been no improvement whatsoever. McDonald hasn't shown anything in our style of play to suggest we are actually making progression for the future. His players or not the system is cack. We'll probably lose Ogbene for next year as well, not to mention Hery, etc.
We don't have an easy run in. Cork, Pats and Rovers could yield 1 point. Galway is a dangerous game, they could easily be ahead of us by the time we play. We'll beat Drogheda. It isn't a successful season but it will be a success at this stage to stay up considering the ****ing hole we've put ourselves in.
Ryan Brennan getting abused from a Blue Army member tonight. What an embarrassment to the club's reputation.
I tend to agree, it's not a sentiment I'd get behind. Regardless of whether they stay up or not, and barring an unlikely Cup triumph, it'd be a bit much to call this season in any way successful.Quote:

The whole just promoted team being happy with just staying up is a nonsense argument from people who just take that from the English game its not the same thing at all in LOI and especially not when we had last year and kept the majority of a squad who should have been nowhere near a relegation scrap in this league. Cup run has been nice even if it ends now but there is nothing about this league campaign that can be called a success.Quote:

We were the better team tonight overall. Much better battling performance than previous weeks. The first goal was a sickener as Bray had shown nothing up to that.
Draw tonight is better result I think. HArps have a tough run-in, other than Drogheda at home, they're playing Dundalk, Rovers and Derry in their next 3 matches. Plus I really really want to see them relegated
Ogbene on a two year deal no?
Analysis: McDonald and Kenny forfeit momentum in turn http://bit.ly/2vZZl6J
Gonna look like I'm out to get Alan here after mentioning the Noel O'Connor comment too but to say Cotter was outstanding in Galway is a stretch isn't it. He was good yes but let's not fall into the trap we do with all young lads that come through and blow a good performance out of all proportion.
Looks to me like you're out to get Alan
The highlight for me is sandwich boy and his bitter little agenda against the blue army.
There in the stand at every home game lad. Why not come up and explain to them why you don't like them face to face lol
Trolls never leave their caves
Every now and then there is one,one who thinks he/she is smart enough but each time they fail miserably ,what is more dispicable is that a fellow contributor would attempt to .out..a persons identity on this showing an obvious lack of respect for this forum and a remarkable low level of intelligence of what these threads are all about....on more important matters a well deserved point for Neil and co..Given the circumstances pertaining to the season overall of course staying up will be a success for a team promoted[its the same in all countrys top leagues] especially as we have the unusual setting of a three down conumdrum to contend with.Was away so didnt hear coverage of the game but i have no doubt Alan o Brien and Noel o Connor were their usual professional competent selves,and when you have tourist listeners picking tiny holes in what they do so well given the drivel dished out by other ..media,,outlets[none of which is ever mentioned] well says it all really.
Where did he try out you??Ai could be just about anyone couldnt it???Quote:

What does it matter if it was my first or hundredth time listening its not like if I had listened every other week his statement would be correct. I actually have good time for Noel I like him, but he's wrong in my opinion.
And the fact you think it is the same in LOI as it is in all top leagues shows a poor understanding of the league tbh.
Yes everybody has an agenda against the Blue Army :rolleyes: Chip on your shoulder, victim mentality.Quote:

There are a plethora of people who think the vulgarity and actions of a significant portion of the group are embarrassing for the clubs and supporters reputation. I've spoken to many people who don't frequent the ground anymore because they don't want their young kids to witness such embarrassing, almost psychotic aggression over a sporting event. Unsurprisingly, when the key cohorts were missing for the Bohemians game it was a much better atmosphere in the ground, less abuse, vitriol, loutish behaviour.
God bless the popular side.
Power to the Plethora
What's so dramatic about sandwich boys observation is that his experience would appear to show that this problem is endemic to Limerick fans only which is shocking. I must be more aware when going to away matches and listen to their vocal support. It's probably more varsity like. God what an awful club we've become that the vitriol of so few seem to turn away vast numbers of supporters. I hope he has brought his concerns to the highest levels of the club. Good boy yourself.
Sandwich boy. I'm not in the blue army so get that notion out of your head.
I think you need to stick to tennis or badminton.
The majority of people enjoy the atmosphere they produce. Bet your a Munster fan too somehow.
