I was thinking of bringing a mic and 30 watt subwoofer to do some human beat box action.

I'm going to bring along P Diddy so he can give the 'Notorious' chants that extra oomph.

Live commentary "should" work

Maybe a tad biased and doubt the lads will know any limerick players names

Looking forward to the match bigtime now.
Going to bring my mate Stanley to the match - first time at a Limerick match.

Limerick 0-1 St.Pats

Limerick played St.Pats off the park in the first half and should have put the game beyond them with 3 or 4 goals. Scanlan was very unlucky with a lob that just bounced too high over the post. St.Pats got the goal which made them comfortable enough despite a few half chances from Limerick in the second half that scared Pats a bit. The ref as usual was muck. St. Pats are a very poor premier team that are lacking in any ideas on the pitch, it was all hoof ball. From what ive seen UCD and Waterford are better teams. John Lester is up to the same thing he was when he was with Limerick last, pass him the ball and he'll just put his boot behind it.

Lester started at centre half but funnily enough Pats got stronger when he moved into the middle of the park...

Pretty much spot on. Except we had 3 players playing that would be considered first choice (and Quigley clearly wasn't fit). Also we played hoofball because the pitch was shockingly bad.

No doubt that Limerick should've been about 3 up before we scored.

best of luck for rest of season

Limerick had about 5 or so regular starters missing aswell but I thought it turned out to be a very good game.

Agreed, pitch is poor, looked alright tonight though compared to what it was in previous weeks.

So unlucky we didn't go ahead with Scanlon's lob and then I was sure Davy Ryan would score when he played that one-two with Paul Walsh.

Not to be I suppose. I though Pat's showed their class taking their chance in the second half and defended well after that.

Good luck in next round.

yeah, every team has injuries. I was just replying to "St pats are a very poor premier team comment". There's absolutely no way we should be judged on tonight

**LFC-Zulu** · 13/06/2009, 12:02 AM

I think it was Jamie Wunsch in the second half that was three yards out as well and the ball got caught under him.
Still, great performance from the lads. Wouldn't it be typical if Pats get Rovers in the next round?

Still, Pats were decent second half, poorly defended set pieces tho. Still, as L37 Ultra says, best of luck in the next round.

I understand but I wouldn't agree ye are a poor side.

In the second half, Pat's played some good stuff. I would have considered them as one of the better footballing sides in the Premier but all things considered its the result that matters and Limerick weren't clinical enough.

Complements to the Pats fans on there behaviour at the game. top class

Agreed, a credit to their club and the league.

**trueview6** · 13/06/2009, 11:31 AM

A brilliant performance from limerick,players worked there socks off i think everyone thought pats would win handy the attendance was poor for an fai cup match first time i have seen the stand empty.

Hardly empty in fairness but putting a E2 charge on it ****ed a lot of regulars off so they didnt go in.

Right about the crowd though, just short of 900 is poor given the game that it was.
