wes, frawley and reilly all out! any ideas what the back 4 is going to be?
rough guess but:
Gough
Keane...Keady...Clery...O'Donnell
Cretaro...Foley...Carter...O'Brien
Gethins...O'Dowd
sounds about right Terry. we should be ok
Wes is playing in the Caribbean cup for St Vincents and Grenadine (or Vincy Heat as they are affectionately known). They lost 4-0 to Haiti on wednesday with Wes playing 90 mins.They face elimination tonight unless they can get something from hosts Jamaica.
at least we can still say that we have an international player
i wonder will he call up ryan o donnell to the senior team. i've seen him playing a few times and hes a really decent player. not too long back from injury either so he'll be keen to try to make a name for himself
there is probably why he wont be called up.Quote:

there is a huge gap between u21 and senior football. I would think that there wouldnt be enough games left this season for him to be up to senior standards. He has to concentrate on next season, unless Micko is injured or suspended before o'reillys return.
yeah i know its a big step up but its not like hes never played senior football before, he played loads of games with sligo's senior team last season and from speaking to people at the club they were very impressed with him. with our shortages in defence he should definitely be a realistic option
I dont know Terry I havent been impressed with Micko at left back and feel Centre Mid is his best position but its Tonys call. This wont be easy tonight as our defence is definitely weakened by wes and philips abscences and Ronans Injury.
yeah i agree gufct, mick has looked completely out of his depth in the few games hes played at left back. hes positioning has been all over the shop as he keeps drifting infield and aas limerick like to play down the channels, we do need a fully competent left back. that being said its cousins who'll pick the team come this evening
id be worried about O Donnell, fatal error versus harps at home, He does a lot of work and tracking but he seems to try and shunt players away and does not put in a lot of tackles.
I know all that, but its a long time ago football wise when he was playing senior, is what Im saying, and that it takes a much longer time period to get back up to that level, and these matches are not the ones where we want to be bringing in players like that. At this stage of the season we need as many 100% match fit players, even if its playing one or two of them out of position as gufct is saying about Micko, which I agree with totally.Quote:

is it too early?? Who care - Champions
5-1 now.....
A hat-trick in four minutes by O Dowd- mental!
5-1 FT.
Nice result, keeps Limerick in our sights too......
just talking to trainee there. He said that we were useless up until we scored our first goal and then limerick fell apart. They were celebrating so much after each goal that they didnt know who scored any of them until I rang !!!HEHEHE
Bring on the Rovers
Comon United
mental is the word alright,but how were we in the first half with a man extra??we went a goal down even with an extra man but fair play to the lads though,excellent,ROLL ON NEXT FRIDAY:-).
oh party on!
sitting at my pc, with the U's playing Ipswich on the tele, they won too. (Their biggest derby win and biggest ever crowd - they are on the up too)
Pressing refresh on Aertel every 3 mins all night was gut wrenching especially after they scored. But what a finish!!!
Magic!
Can't wait for Aer Arran to take me home for the game next Friday! My brother has my ticket bought and all.
We just need to keep it going now!
Hey Galway Harps,
Thanks for Gethins :D I think we might keep him now

great night to for our goal difference, which could come into play at the end of the season. Lets all hope now for Athlone to get a draw tomorrow night as the replay would have to be midweek:D
I think tonight result also might get the full house for terryland next friday
You reckon? Ye'll have to shell out some serious bucks then because he's still our player!Quote:

I said when he moved that I felt that would make ye title favourites and it's looking that way......

up to that we were pretty ordinary. Goal scored on the left again but in fairness to o donnell he worked hard again but he definitely cant tackle
to be fair to lims i think 5 - 1 was an unfair reflection of the 90 minutes. 3-1 would have been more like it. still i am a half hour looking at teletext and page 236 is a sweet sight at this stage of a season
Great News there Geezer, I think everyone agrees that its great to see Russell back as we all know the lad is a genius on the pitch if he can get back to the level he was at before he got the shingles.
12 points this season from limerick, something that (i think) wont be dont by anyone else this season. Lets all hope now that limerick can sort themselves out as we need a good top senior football team in all the main citys of this country for the sport to move forward.
WE ARE TOP O THE LEAGUE :D
