Its August, its the cup and were off to Galway as rank outsiders. Whats our chances? We've struggled against the better teams in first division and Galway are a step up on that. Best we could hope for is to sneak a draw and a replay next week in Flancare?
Hmmm, yeah, would definitely take a draw in this one. Will be fairly tough, Galway are solid enough this year. We can only hope they take us lightly and have an off night. I'm guessing McCarthy will be suspended after his goalkeeping display last week?!Don't know if I'm going to make it down to this, might have to work. Is there much of a crowd going? 2 buses were announced at the Shels match last week, would be great if they were both filled.

from reading the longford news today Brian McCarthys suspended, Darren McKenna and Mick Foley are injured. I really hope that O'Leary will play as I heard Shanahan not eligible for the cup.. The only consolotion is mick lee is fightin fight again.. There will be a big travellin support I am afraid to say it I cant see us winning or drawing.. I would rather we finish as high up the table without any distractions as athlone,finn harps are in our grasp..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
I can predict that a group of 6 to 7 lads will be in Naughtons around opening time on the Saturday, it mightnt get any better than that im afraid.
Who knows maybe a draw if were lucky. Heck id settle for an early goal for us followed by a backs to the wall saga for the remaining 80 minutes come what may.
Bring it................................................ ...........................
I just sit down at the typewriter & start hittin the keys, just hittin the keys. Getting them in the right order though thats the trick, thats the trick.

What time is everyone up on the Friday at? I might try get up early for a few pre match pints...
Saturday I agree Naughtons looked after us well the last time for the breakfast... I also think a pub with a dartboard i.e. cooks could be a runner for some Saturday sporting brilliance.
Oh and as for the match I would be delighted with a draw. Going to be very tough.

If he got sent off in the last round of the cup yes. League sending offs from last week go to next league series but additional red card suspensions count in the cup
Also players who are due to commence suspensions as and from Wednesday, 12th August are suspended for this Cup tie.
He's free to play on Friday so, he wasn't sent off in the last cup game. He'll miss the Limerick game plus probably another game seeing as that's his third red card I think.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.

Yes and as he apparently hadn't actually put pen to paper as of the Atletico Madrid game it would seem he wasn't registered in time.

Never thought of the 14 day thing. Yep he only signed up after that game

Looking forward to this, we need a lift after our desperate showing against Drogs. We should be at full-strength for the first time this season, only new signing Aaron Green is ineligible.
Many of ye heading to Terryland?
Shouldn't this read 'Into the Wesht'?

From you, 'Into the Wesht, innit'Shouldn't this read 'Into the Wesht'?
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
You just never know how this one could turn out , either side could win on the night . Again a cup tie anything is possible .
But i will go with 3-1 to United .
Proper banter on 'ere innit?.
