Cork Away

**bluewhitearmy** · 31/08/2011, 11:58 AM

Scully having a go at Tommy Dunne today in Leader. Cant see why he started this week when if Cork beat us Saturday we have no chance of going up.

Heard theres a slight chance that Shane Tracy and John Frost could be back...They are missing Duggan through suspension.
If frost is not back then we are in trouble i can see Daryl Horgan tearing Bhandarkhar apart.

Think too much is being made of Bray the 1st goal was a joke from there keeper 2nd a pen then they were down to 9 so not as impressive as it looks.
Cant see Scully or the team holding there nerve for this and can see any hope of promotion going with a 3-0 Cork win.

Feeling pessimistic about this myself but on a plus side though we do have Gaffney and Kelly to come into the team. Its a bigger pitch and a better playing surface than Jackman Park so I think these two players could really shine for us down there with the space Limerick have been able to find down there for the last few years. Cork always seem to play it out from the back also so if we can keep the pressure on their defence they are prone to mistakes. Duggan will be a big loss for them and hopefully Gamble will be back in the team.

...........................Ryan................... ..................

..Kelly...........Purcell........McCarthy.......Bh andarkar/Frost

................O'Leary........Gamble............. ................

........Hynes...........Quinn.............Tracey/Brosnan/Coughlan.

..........................Behan................... ..................

A team similar to that will be stronger than the one that went out in the semi-final of the cup. that doesn't always guarantee a better performance though.

Cork 2-1 Limerick

We have Kelly, Gaffney and hopefully Frost to add to the team that outplayed them in the thingybob cup semi.

On paper, Limerick, quite handily.

In reality, end of season party time guys.

I'd give him an hour on the left boxing Ian Turner before unleashing Brossi

**Jofspring** · 31/08/2011, 3:04 PM

I agree Hynes is poor on the wing but as part of a three like that I think he does a decent job and puts in great work. Brosnan really struggled physically on the wing the last day when he came on there and I only think he is up to playin up top with Behan.

In saying all that i actually totally forgot about Judge and would definitely have him in there instead.

The under 19s are using it alright as far as i know... One of the players told me they are not expecting to be playing in Markets Field at all next year if that was true id love to move from Jackman to Hogan.

Prefer Hogan Park myself. Hill Celtic are supposed to have plans on doing great work on Hogan Park (Dressing Rooms etc…) so it could work well for both with Limerick paying rent.

I really hope work will have started on the Markets Field though because if there is no sign of moving in or work commencing then it doesn't sound good at all.

Nothing has started so far but the lads involved with the club say that whatever way they are doing it can be done fairly fast... Be a pity after all the talk if we are not in there next season. Waiting to see if we go up maybe?

**Lim till i die** · 31/08/2011, 7:37 PM

FC Carlow, Tralee Dynamos and Fanad wil be walking into the lions den

Bring it on!!!

Was up there for a nose a few weeks ago, the grounds are actually in better condition than they ever were when Limerick had it, seems to be work going on on dressing rooms aswell.

Sort the car park, throw in a few Mick Wallace stands, jobs a good un.

**ped_ped** · 03/09/2011, 6:16 PM

Three all, finished. I would've taken it this morning considering our deplorable form against the top teams, and even though we lost a 3 - 2 lead, I'll take it now. We're hanging in there, with an outside chance. Let's just hope things go our way over the coming weeks.

**hotspur** · 03/09/2011, 6:46 PM

limerick can't produce the performance on the big day under strength cork were there to be beaten

**Market's Field** · 03/09/2011, 7:49 PM

Conveniently ignoring that limerick were also understrength

**fc hammer** · 03/09/2011, 9:40 PM

joe gamble cost limerick 3 points tonight what a waster...as for barry ryan he should have been taken off when he made those jestures to his own fans...

How?

And hardly understrength Limerick missing one player really. Using the lads that have not been playing for months is a sad excuse people have been brought in to replace them.Cork too only missing one by the way.

Corie Treacy a right footed right back starting left back while an actual left back sat on the bench and Hynes coming on while Coughlan sat on the bench when we needed to get at them once again shows why Scully should be gone he hasnt a clue.

twas gamble who gave the ball away that led to the cork leveler,he gave the ball away so much he must have thaught he was still playing for cork what a waste of money...

Based on one match?
