Six subs can be used.

**gilberto_eire** · 08/02/2011, 6:43 PM

Stadium is seriously empty

**rebelmusic** · 08/02/2011, 6:46 PM

Only Duffer singing the national Anthem (Given pretending to)

If the stadium was in any other county you would get more people then this.

The Dubs and surrounding counties citizens are awful supporters considering how low the crowds have been the past year(and the high population of the area).
If i just had to pay the cost of a ticket I'd be there every game, must more costs involved travelling from Munster or Connacht.

glad to see the people of Ireland boycotting this game as a show of solidarity with Limerick FC over the Barcelona fiasco

Much more interesting game than this one.

**Maroon 7** · 08/02/2011, 7:35 PM

This game might make me switch over to Michael Martin v Eamon Gilmore on TV3. It's that bad.

Yep - two full houses in Thomond a couple of years back.

Coleman and Clark have both looked good so far, although Coleman does seem a bit over-eager to play the ball into the box instead of waiting for more options. The luckiest man in Ireland has also gotten away with his usual penalty-box indiscretion too.

**irishultra** · 08/02/2011, 7:39 PM

who does coleman remind me off? a bit like SWP when he was good at man city first time round...not exactly skillful but fast and enthusiastic

*not based on this game just in general

**shakermaker1982** · 08/02/2011, 7:39 PM

I've got no leave left so couldn't make the game. I'm glad I didn't fork out 200 plus to go over now! Duffer our only threat.

**Noelys Guitar** · 08/02/2011, 7:43 PM

Poor fare again. Whelan offering nothing and Gibson not much better. Doyle and Duff (our best players)having to come back to pick up the ball due to lack of service. Whelan is way off the pace should not be anywhere near the starting 11. And Wales have cut through the center way too easily a couple or times. Given one terrible kick out and still dropping the ball when making saves. Great to see Duff back and he has been badly missed.
