Limerick 37 1 shels 2Originally Posted by Jofspring
We were unlucky not to get a draw 3 cracking goals in fairness though and what about Tommy's one it was a cracker.
3 excellent goals. Bizarre because the game was fairly rubbish up until the last ten minutes, Tierney's shot against the post aside. Thought they strangled us in the second half tbh and probably just about deserved the win.
The ball is round and has many surprises.

No body was done out of any money and if you would like to meet me on this i could show you how much was taken in that car draw and how much the one car cost. So retract that comment or meet me. you can pm me where etc cos im not, as the main seller of the tickets going to stand for that ****
was there many at the match last night?
"It's not about winning, it's taking people apart that counts"
750 was the attendance according to 95fm.
Fairly poor match alright till the last ten mins. Shelbourne where the better team over the 90 minutes but Tommys goal was almost deserved of grabbing a point... in saying that though Keddy's free was a cracker too. Don't know if this is a bit over critical but i felt Davy Ryan could have made a better effort to save the first goal, from the angel i was at a decent stretch or dive for the ball would have saved it. The ref was absolutely awful (for both teams), could have played advantage 3 or 4 times but blew up the whitsle (one of them huges was almost clean through on the edge of the box with 2 limerick players to his left and the ref pulled it back for a limerick free) and some of the free outs for supposed fouls on the keeper where fairly dodgy (davy ryan got lucky that way a few times).
Hopefully now Limerick can get back to winning ways next week against Monaghan but it could be a tough match, they got a draw against Waterford last night.

Was behind the goal and wouldn't hold Davy Ryan culpable for either of their goals. He had one HUGE let off when he spilled the ball under minimal pressure and was given a free out alright. Thought Paddy Purcell looked more like his old self for the most part last night too which is a plus. Thought Brendan Daly did alright too though his distribution wasn't so hot.

I'd go along with that. I would also add that the Shel's Brats behind the goal didn't really do much wrong from where I was standing (alongside them and SLK). Fair enough they shouldn't have moved down there, but after that they only got involved in the usual nonsense teenage football fans usually get involved in.
By the by SLK, do you want to tell the Cobh fans the good news or will I?
We probably should let them know alright shouldn't we?By the by SLK, do you want to tell the Cobh fans the good news or will I?
Thought the Shels kids were all bluster and noise for the most part too. Up until they started hopping onto the pitch anyway. Though if Limerick did it anywhere they'd be wholly castigated. Didn't think the stewards did anything wrong either.
The Shels coach (or whatever he was) behind the goal was a nuisance though, sticking his nose where it had no business, getting involved with the cops and stewards and attempting to downplay the idiocy of the kids' posing and shapethrowing.
Also... I liked the hot dogs.

I start a new thread about it and then find that you've gone and shot our collective load in the John Meade threadWe probably should let them know alright shouldn't we?

In fairness he doesn't have to "retract" anything he says unless asked by an Admin for breaking a forum rule. This is an apparently "Anonymous" internet forum for debate on related matters. If he says otherwise he says otherwise. He's obviously got reasons.
On the game, patchy at best,shels took over in the second half and I'd say Shels just about deserved the win on the balance. 3 decent goals too, standard is improving at a decent rate which is nice to see.
A hatred of Limerick perhalps??? my point is he is making a statement which is a lie. Ive seen the books and as the main seller of the then car draw i know how much money was made. It was very small. Three or four good weeks at the start but after that (because it was the same people over and over again ie the home support) we might sell 4/5 tickets a week = €20/25. I had nothing directly to do with the car draw, but i sold the tickets beacuse the SC (which i co founded)was getting a cut out of the sales. So i sold tickets at the gate in rathbane for over a year. with all his little snide comments such as "where have we heard this before" people were done out of money" etc he/she is casting a bad vibe on the present draw which we are running for the next two home games. I have made him in offer to meet up so i can show him the facts i await his contact
have to agree shels just did enough to shade it,thought MK subs decisions were poor but cant fault team for effort.btw gael chill out will you.
Quite calm my friend (listening to Brian Eno/Dvid Byrnes latest) trying to advance the club on for next season (good news soon comming too btw) just the negitive vibes surfaceing from 4 years ago, next they'll be on about the time when money was found in a hole in the markets field so thats why we cant go back there, thomond park is on the northside so to play there would be stupid just stupid etc etc
Pat Grace, Fr Joe, wheres the money gone? im just another bitter knobhead who's gonna hide behind his computer!
Also a big hello to everyone on the Shelbourne forums who are linking posts on this thread back to their own sites, hope you all got home safely.
Stop playing the wounded soldier will ya.
Any one who makes a statement against limerick is a liar according to you.
You sold me a ticket for a draw for 5 cars that only one car was accounted for and this has been going on for a long time with limerick down thru the years.
Did you as a representative of the club not question this at the time,and it doesn`t matter how much was collected either.
No one is accusing you of fraud here but it was conveniently forgotten about
by everyone involved.
I don`t want to meet you as I see enough of you at the games anyway.

Why did you come on here to winge so? why dont you take it up with the man himself?
And what do you expect Gael to do about Danny making a balls of the car draw? In case you don't know the guy is the best volunteer we have, and has been for years, he has no say in the management or mismanagement of the club. If you have a beef with what went in the draw why not bring the matter up with Danny Drew himself at the time instead of whining online about it?
Recently spotted somewhere on the road between Kildare and Cork.

yawn, dont worry lads ill finish here. Im not playing the wounded soldier its just you made ref to the present draw with your comments linking it to the car draw of some years ago (3 cars by the way not 5) You also said that ppl were "done out of money" they weren't, it was a legit draw that didnt make the money the owner thought it would so he altered (through the courts) the prize. The prize by thw way cost way more then the money taken in.
Every week ppl in all clubs give moneys to their clubs, by way of a shop, merchandice sales, raffle/lotto or whatever. Most of these are gambles but you take it that the proceeds of the raffle go into running that club which you contributed too. The car draw which you entered did not make money and so the whole total of it went to pay for the one car that wa given out. This year i bought tons of ducks, i didnt win one bloody prize, should i feel bitter and demand an examination fo the ducks that were pulled out of that water. Surely the guy in the boat was corrupt? Goodnight everybody
pint in the still to that man for stroking my ego on Friday night
