Quotesure theyve lost half their squad, all the limerick boys moved back home in time for the junior season,
should be beating them by at least 2/3
It may be a week away but after our friends down the road got thumped 7-0 by cork city last night I think we are all excited for Saturday night - we should win and simply have to win after a very poor run what is it now 5 games without a win?

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
has the striker that scored against us last time left them haven't seen him in a few weeks what's his name again Noel mcgee is it?
noel mcgee has been with athlone for years and years and years....
noel mcgee was away for the year with st peters and is now back with athlone the last few weeks. another ex favourite of theirs has resigned for them and played with us under aaron callaghan Damien Rushe who was also with St Peters.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Must have been suspended or something for Cork game so. He is easilly their main threat we stop him from getting in we should stop Athlone from scoring and that should allow us too especially with Aussie back in the team (he is back isn't he)
yeah I am confident that Aussie will be back as it was for accumulating too many bookings in the 1st place!

Who wants to start ?
Who is that for? I choose everyone!
Sporting F*ck All!
Had to be one of the worst performances and matches I have ever seen. Athlone were muck so for us to be even muckier is just a disgrace. We can blame the officials all we Want but we simply weren't good enough and I think last nights game shows how important Austin Skelly is. He did an injury in the dying moments of the warm up to his knee I think it was and it left us with a front 2 that were absoutely threatless. Now fair play to Jean he did try hard as he always does but he simply doesn't have the quality.
The 2nd goal was just a complete shambles I don't know what went on but some say it shouldn't have been a red card and that it should have been a free not a peno but hunty handeled outside the area to start with so that was red straight away before the referee played advantage and hunty pulled the athlone striker down who was just about to shoot so it's a red card all day long.
We defo should have had a peno but listen we simply wernt good enough and were gona get stuffed up in Monaghan especially if Aussie doesn't come back. We will finish 8th behind Waterford, Mervue and Athlone.

And the young lad that came in for Hunty deserves a mention fair play to him he did very well....nice to know I scored against him in under-19 training once haha
it was a shambles on the pitch.. The young goalie that came on for hunty is young Cullen from near Ballinasloe Co Roscommon. He played for the under 19s in Sligo earlier today. He was chased by mervue and salthill and its a coup gettin him. I am not confident at all for the rest of the season and can see us droppin points even to salthill. the way we are playin at the moment I cant see us beatin 35 pts from last season and will drop down the table rapidly Im afraid.

have to agree Martinho if we couldn't beat that awful Athlone side then there's no hope of beating many others I fear a heavy defeat in Monaghan but hopefully now that I've said that wel play similar to jackman park but I really really doubt it.
Cousins team selection on Saturday seemed to confuse alot of people he had a right back at left full and a midfielder at right back? He should have had dowling in his normal RHS position and play Gaz Cronnin at left back, Morley was fairly awful again compared to Crawley who did well when ge came on. Some say Walsh should have started but I would agree with Cousins on that one he's not having a great season so I'd leave him on bench for now.

Interesting comments from TC here. One would have to wonder how the FAI will react to it.....while hes not said anything overly wrong we all know how the FAIlure like to squeeze money out of people.

Hes right in everything he said. We've been on the receiving end of a lot of bad decisions this yr & hes had enough, like a lot of us. Was talkin to someone who heard from a reliable source that the vid proved what a lot of people knew, Hunt barely touched McGee,it was outside the box & he dived in the box Crawley was taken out if it so we shouldve had a penalty & their player sent off.. Diff rules eh! Have to say away from those decisions Cousins got team selection wrong & Skelly was a massive loss..
ye I totally agree with all of that but the fai might not
Confused at to how you can agree to all that? as you stated in an earlier thread exactly what you thought happened?
"hunty handeled outside the area to start with so that was red straight away before the referee played advantage and hunty pulled the athlone striker down who was just about to shoot so it's a red card all day long."
I agree with the fact the referees have been awful to us all year and that the standard of officiating in the loi is simply not good enough and that something has to be done.
Hunty was going to get a red one way or another only question is wheter it was a peno or not it's since been proven it wasn't a spot kick but like I said red card all day long eithier way.
