Well to be far Section O have NEVER shouted abuse at a Town player ! I think I know the "dope" you mention and he was in the right to have go at the "Mons" player as the player was up for the slagging just as much and to be fair took it as a good laugh ! Part of going to live soccer games is the fun of interacting with the players. As for the stand there are some dopes there !!!!!
Town to WIN 2-1 tonight !

Great result tonight. Wasn't able to make it out tonight but was keeping an eye out for it on the tinternet!! When I seen we missed a penalty I thought same old story for us and Limerick would go on and win. I predicted a 3-1 defeat tonight and a 3-0 win for us last week. Think from now on I'll just predict us to lose cos that seems to work!!
Any report on the game? Who played well and who didn't!
Fantastic result. 1st half was even enough, their no.9 should have scored twice, Mooney should have scored for us. Second half started with a bang, they hit the bar in the 1st minute or 2 and then a big scramble ensued in our box, we managed to survive it though. From there on we completely dominated the game, and totally deserved the win imo. Lester put the penalty wide, was a very poor effort. Brady missed 2 absolute sitters. Deans had a header cleared off the line. Lee had a decent effort from a free well saved. Then the goal! Free kick in our half, flicked on my Freeman, then Salmon, dropped to Mooney about 16 yards out, dummied the shot and stepped around the defender and slotted it in the bottom corner from around the penalty spot. Great finish. Then they had 2 men sent off for fighting with each other after the goal!Their number 8 (one of the men sent off) should have been off long before then anyway, absolutely hacked Mooney down twice. They were a dirty team imo, lots of rotten niggles all over the place a bad tackles flying in. Delighted with the win, can't really fault any performances tbh. Stand out performances were Lee, Lester, Mooney and Hynes who all had excellent games imo. Great win!
What a game why can't we play like that evreyweek (:
the crowd was class in their support of the team and the stand out performances were lee , lester , Brady who I thought was MOTM and ye limerck players were very dirty and was delighted to see scully and his boys go down.
Fair play to the section O boys they were fantastic tonight more of ye than usually and very loud fair play to all the supporters we were fantastic. CMON DE TOWN
Ye deserved the win in the end but if ye play like that every week most teams will beat ye. Limerick totally dominated the first half and should have gone in at the break at least 2 up. Then they seemed to emplode and let ye take over. Limerick seemed to panic as it didn't look like they where going to get a goal and the younger lads started to lose their heads. Hughes and Judge fighting with each other was a prime example of this and also Limerick got very dirty as they panicked. As i say ye deserved it in the end but against a better and more composed team than Limerick where tonight, ye will struggle i think. Thought the town players where getting more abuse than anything from a lot in the stand barr when they scored.

I don't know what to make of that performance. Neither team deserved to win. I called Lester missing the penalty and at that stage, Lee was the only one that played well enough to take it. Lee was MOTM without a doubt. Brady played well too. Hynes was poor once again. Lester played well as the game went on, shouting for every ball and making sure of it. Shanahan made some good saves too. Their No. 8 deserved a kick in the hole, he was incredibly dirty and I don't understand why it took three possible leg breaking tackles for him to be carded, was disgusted at the ref. The ref didn't stamp out the dissent and tackles in the first minute and the game was lost from there on.
Also Hyland was dire! Never took the ball on himself, far too quick to get rid of the ball and most of the time to Limerick.
Glynn should have been given a run. Too much hoofball too with nothing coming out of it. Wasn't at all pleased.

In fairness we're in a situation where we have to take any positives we can. A win and a clean sheet will do for now. Bit mean spirited to be "not at all pleased"!
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Not the time for cuddlin' them.

Ah yeah I wouldn't be getting carried away but feck it a win is a win. Small steps
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Smaller crowd then I expected though....... What would you say was at it maybe just under 200
I would have said 200 myself, but don't tell me you expected much more considering the dross on show of late?
WTF!!!!!!!!! Jesus I thought Longford were FANTASTIC and really played great stuff in the second half.
Who is the number 11, he was a joy to watch all game, doing a lot of work all over the field, pity he didnt have his shooting boots on
And number 6? A rock in defence, and gave it up to a few Limerick forwards as well
Was surprised with this game, as wasnt expecting much - but left at end on a high, was great entertainment from both teams (from a neutral Pov), and was good to see the Longford fans support their team in the end. Think the match and the Limerick support really had everyone on edge!
Wonder is Cousins doing a good job or not? He obviously has a decent team to work with, but is he able to manage them?
By the way - have a thumbing hangover!!! (God I hate Longford town)
Fair play to ya bennocelt for coming to it, you're welcome any time!
11 is Cathal Brady, has fantastic pace and usually has the beating of opposition left backs, can be hit and miss though but played very well last night alright.
6 is John Lester, usually a midfielder but has been playing centre half a bit this season. Our best player so far this season imo.
Up to now, Cousins hasn't done a good job. As I've said before on here, he has good players, but our attitude and organisation are appalling. Last night our attitude was first class, our organisation still needs work though as Limerick looked like they could score any time they came forward, especially in the 1st half.
I totally agree with you bennocelt I thought we were fantastic second half and the match was fantastic entertainment.
Brady was top class and Johnny was a rock at center half (I was worried at times his pace would let him down but his strength and just his pure presence makes up for it)
Yes the supporters were starting to get very frustrated early on in the 1st half when we started to play long ball tactics but once we got the ball rolling again the support was fantastic.
After we missed the peno I thought Limerick would hammer us but if anything it made the players pick it up another level fair play to the likes of Lee , Lester and Hynes they were fantastic after the missed peno and helped pick up the rest of the team.
I dont think Limerick could believe how resilient we were after the missed spot kick and I think thats why one or two of their plays started to lose their head which lead to the two sending offs.
As for Cousins we will have to see can he manage this very well equipped squad hopefully he can and we will be even stronger after the transfer window.
When we win we always do it in the most exciting way possible eg. Harps , Waterford , Limerick they were fantastic games and I couldnt have been happier coming out of Flancare last night.
The cup is next and we will have a feel good factor going into it and since its the cup a few supporters that have deserted us in recent weeks might come back and make it another special night in the Flansiro.
CMON DE TOWN!

I am on still a high after last nites tremendous victory! Mick Lee had a stormer in defence.. Nice to see Limericks Sean Kelly raising to our bait!! Also not mentioned was there was three limerick cheerleaders who I believe will be a regular occurence at home and away gamess.. They certainly made viewing the stand very interesting indeed!
It was good craic talkin to the Limerick fans in the spiral tree who told me who these lassies were!
Section o had a lot more people due to the likes of pauro seven and Ronnie B making special visits! It was like the good old days of section o and the banter was witty and relentless!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Delighted with the result obviously and I thought we did well in the second half put it doesnt paper over the cracks.
Yet again Hynes was woeful his touch was poor and for a target man he won nothing. Playing 5 in the middle might have meant keeping a tight 3 to nullify their midfielders but it isolated Hynes meaning he was exposed more to the poor player he is.
Cathal Brady missed two absolute sitters, and you would have to say Glynn on form would have tucked at least one of those away.
Defensively apart from one or two moments of indecision we did well and philly byrne and chris deans communicating and talking to the players really contributed to an assured performance, that said was a bit worried seeing Vic come on near the end.
Mick lee had a great game, and should hold onto that left back spot.
A great night though, and games like that remind ya why ya put up with the drivel of recent weeks
I thought Hynes played myself. He was completely isolated by Freeman and Brady for most of the night but won more headers than I've ever seen him win and did his best to hold it up. He worked hard as well. One of his better performances imo.
I'd agree with Cabs88 there, it doesn't paper over the cracks. I was very frustrated during the match, we're fúcking shíte. The midfield played so bloody deep they were on top of our defence so our defenders couldn't play it out and make a meaningful attack. Hoofing it away every time up to Hynes is no addition, that would make Rooney look shíte too so I wouldn't blame him totally even though he didn't cover himself in glory.
Lets be honest here folks, if we played like that against any team with a tad of discipline or skill, we'd be hockeyed.
Sporting F*ck All!
First game of the season for me, great to be back. Good banter with the Section O lads and 100% record so far.
