We played well in Monaghan. If all the wide-open goal chances had been taken instead of missed, we'd have won 2-1.
According to my hasty check of extratime.ie, when scoring the first goal, Limerick have only failed to win twice. We really are a side that needs to believe in ourselves to play well. Early goals conceded to both Cork and Waterford destroyed our confidence, but when we matched Monaghan for the (poor enough) first half, we gained the confidence to improve in the second half.
As long as we don't concede early, I'm confident we can get something from the Shels game.

what do you think i am a sperm whale
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
Lightening couldn't strike twice?
I love the rivalry and all but I really do hope that this is the last game against lims til at last 2012.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Derry should win out at this stage, but it could still be really tasty on the last night. If Derry narrowly beat Harps and Monaghan put a good few past Mervue, it could end up with Mons needing to beat Derry by 2 (maybe 3) to win the division. You'd still expect Derry to finish first, but if Monaghan went a goal up it'd be game on.
As for us, we'll be cheering for Limerick this week and Derry next. If we win our two (we hadn't beaten Shels away in 12 years until we won in May), a Derry win in Monaghan would see us finish second. Home advantage would be massive - can't see us winning in Gortakeagan. I'd fancy Limerick to do us a favour on Friday. Otherwise, we'll be in the precarious position of going to Tolka needing a draw or a win.
A nation squeaks it's bums.
if limerick play the way they played againist us they will be hard to beat... very tough team
I wish i did not know then what I dont know now
I'll will be honest with you, as a Derry man, I felt are biggest challenge for the season would come from Waterford and Limerick as Waterford possessed a very impressive team and Limerick in the second fixture of the season outplayed City and were unfortunate to lose. Very well organised team that made three great signings in July with Bobby Ryan, Stevo and Dave "You played wonderful tonight" Rogers.
I'd hate to be in the playoffs as there are great teams in the first division vying for the spot and the idea of going to Galway or Bray (again) in the middle of the week doesn't exactly inspire excitment.
With it being the last game of the season at home i would think Scully and the lads would like to finish with a result. Shels will find it tough but I've a feeling they will come away with the three points. Our record at home against the top teams is awful.
There's no way Limerick will be lying down! Infact if they win then have a chance of playoff If we severly slip up against athlone and with our recent history that's a possibility
No, we are out of it - even if ye lose your last two, and we beat Shels this week, Shels would have to beat ye for you to lose your last two, therby maintaining their advantage over us, so we have no possibility of making the playoffs. That said, I have no doubt we will give it everything v Shels and Athlone.
