Considering our performances to date against this lot id take a draw to be honest.

Of all the matches remaining, this more than any other is the one I most want us to win. Cant be losing 4 times to the newbies (even if they are half decent)!
To be honest they are the most beatable of the top 4, both times we played them away they looked beatable but we were unlucky (dodgy penalty first time, dodgy defending second time around). They did beat us well at home though.
4-1 to us
(but I'll settle for a draw)

A draw is the best we can hope for im afraid, predicting a 2-0 loss though.

Hairdryers! have you tried these?Still soaked, couldnt squeeze it into the tumble drier
I would have to agree with Mr. Fish there, a draw would be a very good result. Saying that, they are without the Leagues top goalscorer though and without Robbie Doyle, how good are they?

1-0 to them.
The ball is round and has many surprises.

Should have easily won 4/5-1

4/5 1 would be too little. I thought 10 1 would have been more just. Its not right to say we dominated the second half cos we battered them for 90 mins +. We were brillient. The ref was crap and let them go with a lot of time wasting, and as for their spoofer of a manager, guess what? you've been found out again!
Best ive seen us perform in years, the team were a credit to us all tonight, super stuff from them
Genuinely super performance. Really encouraging in terms of the bigger picture.

Agree with all the positive comments above.Super entertaining football. Need to keep the core of the team and add a few experienced players to make a challange next season.
Well done Super Blues!
GREAT performance,battered them in the 2nd half and wouldn.t have been flattered with a 5-1 scoreline.its looking good for next season given recent form and MK getting it right we have got to be promotion contenders.
Didnt get to the match.Can somone that was there give the team plus how they rated. thanks

unused subs Daly, White, Manjor and Fitzpatrick
seriously, Ryan a 7!I think he's a good player but he missed 2 sitters especially the first one. At a push i'd give him a 5.

Thats the rating i would have given. Hughes and Lyons ran the midfield, there tackling was top notch and they where very confident on the ball. Tierney and Sheehan where causing trouble all night but Sheehan has to get his head up a bit more, makes great breaks with his speed but lets himself down with his selfishness at times, Tierney could have had about 5 or 6 goals alone in the last 2 games, he has been unlucky at times. I thought walshe has been excellent recently, causing all kinds of trouble up and down the wing and not afraid to get stuck in either. The defence as a whole where very solid barr the weak goal that was given away from the corner. Colbert had a very good game too, getting stuck in as usual. Ryan came on and missed two good chances but i wouldn't be too harsh on him as there where alot of chances squandered in the match. I Hope Collopy will get a start in goals soon as i'm still unsure about ryan, he's kick outs where fairly poor last night an d i wouldn't have much confidence in him under any kind of pressure.
All in all it was a great performance and shows great things for next season. I hope Kerley gets the players to sign contracts for next season asap.

This was the first ggame I've seen in about 4 years (last one was in Pike, 5-0 win against Galway).
I thought Limerick were far the better team, despite what the league table says (granted I know nothing about th injury lists of either team). Fingal had two tall strikers who did cause some problems when flicking the ball on, but created nothing apart from the goal and one shot from about 5 mins from the end.
Limerick were all over them, particularly in the second half, and should have won by a couple of goals. They played smart football given the (lack of) height of the two strikers, and were able to get in behind the defence very easily. My only criticism was that we should have had a player just hanging around the D of Fingal's area more often for when crosses were cleared, as they were able to get out of their own defence a little cheaply at times.
And that little number 16, who I now know is called Ryan, really, really should have scored.
It's good to be back!!
Game of the season for me, I'm still buzzing. Days like that are what its all about
