Quote1-1 at HT. Sounds like Limerick started well but have dropped off the pace a fair bit.
Prince is also on the bench and not up on extratime.ie

2-1 Dundalk, around 10 to play. Dundalk FM commentators make it sound like Limerick defence is in bits.

FT 2-1. Sounded like Dundalk dominated majority of game, could have added plenty more, hit the woodwork a couple of times. Limerick goal was more than a little lucky. Not very encouraging. Agyemang got a run out for ten or so minutes.

listened to the game on dundalk fm.limerick were very poor and dundalk should have beaten us well.going to be a long season for us i am afraid,just dont have a strong enough team,midfield is very weak,the defence will be busy all season,the better sides will run through the midfield like a dose of salt.
Half the first team missing tonight in fairness. Squad has not been deep enough to manage. Might be a couple more games before they get anywhere near full strength.
The Dundalk lads were being generous then. Dundalk had more of the ball but only scored because of mistakes of ours. They didn't hit the woodwork at all.
Going by extratime, we were barely in the game. And sounds like we were lucky it wasn't a fairly heavy defeat...
We weren't in the game much in an attacking sense but it seems like reports are making Dundalk seem far more impressive then they actually were.Originally Posted by kingpin4
The updates on ET were mostly Dundalk efforts on our goal or documenting Dundalk pressure, or saves by Cusack, but then again they had us out with ten players and our subs wrong also it seems. Following it on those updates, I was worried if a third went in it would be followed by more and was glad that match ended when it did. Not fair ?
Keep in mind it's a Dundalk fan doing those updates. They had the ball most of the game but most of their chances were pretty harmless mainly weak enough headers from ball being thrown into the box. They cut us open once or twice alright but not loads.
Did they dominate yes did they have great chance after great chance no tbh. Two goals were gifted to em.
It sounds like there was a bit of fight in us anyway tonight. When you consider how many players we were missing, 2-1 is not the end of the world confidence wise.
The problem is that our goal was a terrible howler by the Dundalk keeper. Apart from that, we created next to nothing-Gaffney had one half chance that Coughlan should have followed up on, but there was nothing else.
We held our own at times, but never looked like scoring. Again.
even with the guys out injured returning.the squad isnt strong enough,stuart taylor didnt strengthen the team enough in the off season.he released 7 or 8 players and brought in two players plus the two ghana boys.the young lads arent bad but no match for men.it seems to me that they will be happy with a similar position to last season.taylor always harps on about progression but from what i have seen so far its backwards they are going.
If it was fully fit then the squad would be fine tbh a starting team of
Ryan
Kelly
Oji
Folan
Williams
Tracy
Hughes
Duggan
Galbraith
Curran
Gaffney
Bench:
Abass
Costelloe
Leahy
Prince
Rainsford
Coughlan
McManus
Nothing wrong with that really as much as I don't like it the injuries are a valid excuse for why things are how they are.
What is the ETA on Ryan?

Given the all clear Friday back full training Sunday so not long at all now id imagine.
Cusack has actually been fine in goal by all accounts, but it'll be good to have the first choice back.

Played well overall but did cost us the equaliser in the Dundalk game. Think it will do the young lads in defence well to have Barry talking them through a game.
Cusack has been very good at shot stopping but hasn't been good at coming off his line and collecting the ball in the air. 2 of Corks goals could have been avoided if the ball was collected by the keeper and from the accounts above the same could be said for Dundalks first goal.
