Dundalk or Shelbourne

hate is such a big word dodge.

The Lilywhites, I know I said I didnt want to go to Oriel anymore (and only coz we get such bad beatings there) but I still want Shels to be promoted in front of you.

As for our season, we have pretty much achieved what we set out to do at the start of the season. We are midtable(ish) and have the highest amount of points we have gotten in years. We kept within our budget, paid our players and have our new astro pitch going in early in the new year. While we would love to have been challenging for promotion with you guys, that was not the plan for this season as we have so many other things to achieve off the pitch so our aim was to be as competitive as we could be while doing these.

I am proud of the year we have had. We have beaten some of the best teams (unfortunately lost to some of the weaker teams) and have managed to keep our head above water. That my dear is a success in the year that was.

Yes but its a big word if your from Dundalk.

[Réiteoir]

The away section at Oriel is cramped and has no shelter....well its cramped if your club has a good support anyway Dont see why people would be complaining about tolka. Loads of space for away fans and IMO its a nice ground

Tolka has deteriorated in the past few years...

Horrendous non-views at the Ballybough End for those in the first 10 rows.

If you watch the MNS highlights of when Kalonas scored against Rovers - there is a "shockwave" of celebration as those at the back saw the ball go in - which then transferred down to the front as people who were stood there had no clue what had happened and went on the reactions of those stood behind them.

Add to that the "Rivers of Urine" stand - aka the Riverside - which I think is only being held together by sheer will and vegetation at this stage

And finally - the floodlights - when they aren't swaying in the wind, they're either not working at all or being set on fire by over eager Rovers fans at Cup Finals...

[Lim till i die]

but the only time this season
that an away fan pulled a knife on a steward in Lissywollen was when we
played Dundalk.

Funny, that has never happened in Limerick

Shels are a great example of a club who bit the dust over financial irregularities, came down to the 1st division, regrouped and put out a competitive team without breaking the bank.

In fairness Shels are in trouble if they don't go up.

Financially prudent it aint.

[Magicme]

Have you the info to back that up coz in fairness I havent heard anything about them in trouble!

Lots of people I would consider to be very reliable sources normally.

A Shels fan more or less admits it over on our forum.

I don't have their books if that's what you mean.

Shels will report losses this season.
100k is they don't win the league
50K if they do.
Not fair eh

Dam, will have to take down my shrine to them now.

For poor Saturday night giggles I want Dundalk to go up

[ramsfan]

shels

[sadloserkid]

Dundalk. This time last year I would have definitely disliked them more than Shels but that... that has changed.

[Joey Killester]

Who cares why or how many people vote for whoever, its only a tintert poll. When (tempting fate?) we win tomorrow, Im sure this will be the last thing on your mind, Higgo..

[Poor Student]

I'd like Dundalk to go up. Don't want to go there next season and Shels is a handy away trip.

[stann]

Dundalk.
That'd be two rival teams we wouldn't have to face next season then.

The Connacht St. stand is worse than anything else in Tolka.

[KoemansCC]

I'm not touching that with a bargepole

Back on topic, now that I can breath regularly after tonight...Dundalk!! It'll be an interesting few games, best of luck....

[Paraic]

you can take the man out of dundalk....has to be Dundalk for me.

didn't think they had the players at the beginning of the season but they're hanging in there and I really hope results go their way tonight. Come-on-ye-Lily-Whites.......
