Monaghan (Away)

**Jofspring** · 04/05/2011, 5:00 PM

This is going to be a tough game. Most teams seem to have struggled with Monaghan this year, Shels and Waterford losing to them and Cork drawing with them.

A few things going for us in this game that should give us incentive to win are:

Mervue beat them last week
Declan O Brien and Paul Whelan both suspended
They seem to be conceeding plenty of goals this season (10 so far compared to our 5).

If we can stay solid at the back and O'Flynn has one of his good days at the office no reason we can't get the 3 points.

Like to see:

........................Ryan......................

C.Tracey... Purcell... McCarthy... Frost.

......Judge.......O'Leary...S.Tracey........

.......................Quinn...................... .

................Hynes.........O'Flynn............

I'll be cautious though an predict 1-1.

Like almost every game so far, very hard to predict. I'd be optimistic and hope for a 0 - 1 win, but realistically you'd have to be happy with a score draw.

Team like that above would be well capable of getting the three points, though.

What's the story with Mons midfield? Would there be a risk of O'Leary getting bossed around a bit?

Thats a risk whoever we are playing he is not very strong but if he can get away from them a few times and get a bit of space he is capable of doing serious damage with his passing.

Need Steve to have a good day.

Would definitely take a draw. Hope we gat something after the drive up anyway :P

You mean do they have a Greg O'Halloran or Mark Fokker???????

Massive game amazing we could move ahead of Monaghan with a win. think it will be a draw.

I don't know why, but I have a sneaking suspicion we will nick this with a goal in the last twenty. I would gladly take a draw though

**Shannonsider** · 06/05/2011, 5:44 PM

Would be more than happy with a draw. They are missing key players but so are we. They have been playingg well so hopefully we won't recieve a backlash tonight. 1-1 is my prediction with a Hynes goal.

**Lim till i die** · 06/05/2011, 7:21 PM

1 up Paudie Quinn 10 seconds.

**Lim till i die** · 06/05/2011, 7:45 PM

Well on top according to my live reporters, have hit post and crossbar, Monaghan reduced to kicking us.

Only problem is we're still only one up.

**Shannonsider** · 06/05/2011, 7:53 PM

Monaghan counting up the yellow cards. Seem to be kicking the Limerick lads around a bit. Leave them to it. Nearly half-time and still 1 up thanks to Paudie Quinn first minute goal.

**Shannonsider** · 06/05/2011, 7:55 PM

Cork losing 1-0 to Longford aswell which could be interesting for us.

Finished 1-1 in the Cork-Longford game.

**Lim till i die** · 06/05/2011, 9:02 PM

Shambles

**Shannonsider** · 06/05/2011, 9:04 PM

So frustrating.. Last kick of the game.

**Jofspring** · 06/05/2011, 9:07 PM

Sickner but had a feeling that would happen

**Shannonsider** · 06/05/2011, 9:09 PM

Games like that are the difference between going up or not. My heart stopped when I refreshed the page on the updates and saw it was 1-1. I thought it was over.

**thomas72** · 06/05/2011, 9:14 PM

same old story havent got the balls to see out a game against a promotion rival. in fairness last kick of the game and we let there full back stroll into the box unmarked nobody near him free header.

Course you did cos your a Limerick fan and it always happens us.

It's not good enough anymore, contenders kill off teams like Monaghan, mediocre nobodies concede 93rd minute equalisers, going by my commentary down the phone it's Scullys foul up again.

But then I wasn't there so meh.

Going nowhere fast by the looks of things.

One of those moments where if we win the confidence goes sky high and we become real contenders or if we give away a goal like that confidence drops and we don't look up to it.

Sad thing for us is ever year its the latter.

If we don't take 3 points off Waterford at home next friday we can definitely forget about promotion this season. Huge game, hopefully no one shows up to watch it or we are screwed.

Every year we can't beat the top teams at home and it doesn't look like we can beat them away either.
