yeah keith gillespie! Austin Skelly is only coming back to full fitness now.. The last time we won in jackman park was two and a half years ago when Liam Lynchs hatrick for us secured for us a 4-1 win.. At least this time it was civilised in jackman this time compared to the previous away game from last season!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Yeah the game was very scrappy i thought & not easy on the eye. Limerick just about deserved it but we had a few missed chances, that header downward that bounced up over the bar was so close. And what about the penalty that never was??? It was like the Liverpool Roma UEFA cup game a few years back. Cowan was bundled over & the referee blows the whistle runs & points to the penalty spot. Then when he gets there he points for a corner !!!! WTF??? Clear penalty, gives it then changes his mind????????
How did you get cold Acornvilla?? I thought it was a very mild night altogether!!!
Anyway lets hope Gillespie adds some sort of spark to this set up.
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.

Correct except he never blew his whistle. I thought he was giving a penalty at the time, then the lino flagged. I was talking after the game to a Limerick fan who watches from behind the goals (not generally the kind of fan who talks crap and denies anything) and he said the defender definitely got a touch. I didn't see too many complaints from the Longford players either, but as I said, from where I was (behind dugouts) it looked a penalty.
I was behind the dugouts too. Thought he blew the whistle myself but maybe i got caught up in the emotion of having received a supposed penalty. Certainly looked like the Ref had given it. It feels very strange when your at a match & in a group of maybe 3 or 4 at an away game & feel your after been done. It feels daft shouting or whinging about what you thought was due. An impotent fury if there ever was one.

what I mean bluewhitearmy is the famous invasion from the housing estate next door by a little scut from limerick who was buck naked. .He climbed a wall ran after yer famous cheerleaders. He climbed on top of a chipvan and urinated from it. He then ran back over the wall! and I saw a limerick fan box a steward in the face because he was refused entry into the game!

Had forgotten about that (dunno how). That was all part of what our wonderful cheerleaders brought to the club.
That Penalty was a weird decision alright. Couldnt see the tackle properly but he did point to the spot then change his mind...Lino must have had unreal vision.
