It's since Jumbo took over and started doing the teamsheets. Someone should really tell him how to spell his players' names.

That tackle was brilliant. Yob had all four of his limbs off the ground and around the Mons player.

The ref really lost the plot last night. He was atrociously bad.

Having said that, we huffed and puffed without creating a real chance all night. We just have to work towards getting a Division One license and hopefully we'll find a few players somewhere.

The Monaghan left winger was excellent. Is he one of the Brennans?

About 14 of Limericks came against Shels in Tolka over the two games and I would think most Shels fans would agree 70% where ridiculous. We got 7 up there a few weeks ago in the league and the Shels lad doing the updates even said there wasn't a single bad tackle in the game.

Monaghan should have had a player sent off against us a few weeks ago also for a two footed tackle on Gaffney and it was also followed up soon after by another shocking tackle on Gaffney 5 minutes later.

Monaghan weren't a filthy team when they visited Jackman earlier in the season but in recent weeks have gotten very cynical. I'm not saying Limerick are saints by any means but it seems mad the amount of sendings off ye have picked up recently.

Any word on attendance last night?

On the radio they said 700, Others at it say max 500,

**monutdfc** · 02/11/2011, 3:06 PM

I'd say 700. Definitely an increase on the crowd for the Bray playoff last year, which is very encouraging.

Coming to Terryland Friday do you think?

If and when Monaghan are premoted they have alot of work to do to get to preimer standard off the pitch

Their pitch is shocking not up to standard ,,,their lights are defo not bright enough it was so dark on tue night it was difficult to make out players identy on far side of pitch ......the pitch markings were wrong and pitch had to be remarked before ko.....and i also heard they had no match balls and had to borrow some from Galway ........lads this is ment to be highest standard in the country LOL

This should be fun!

Their facilities are about as good as our team.

**nigel-harps1954** · 04/11/2011, 7:55 AM

I personally think Mons have a fairly good setup given their fanbase.

**Mr Maroon** · 04/11/2011, 8:27 AM

I hope your "sources" are reliable, Geezer!

**MagicMon** · 04/11/2011, 8:48 AM

I think an early goal for monaghan will kill off the tie. I just hope that the players dont go out too cocky and faff around like fabio's chip to the keeper on tuesday. As long as they dont lose the head if things get iffy in the first 15 minutes like v cork or limerick

that was the dream i had, Mons lost the plot, got two sent off ,Galway got two penos, and went on to win on penos as well........magic

**Mr Maroon** · 04/11/2011, 10:17 AM

I'll have some of what you're on, Geezer.

**MagicMon** · 04/11/2011, 10:18 AM

Wow, even in their wildest dreams Galway fans can only imagine getting a draw

**gufc2000** · 04/11/2011, 10:29 AM

I do believe we can score, but I can't see us keeping a clean sheet. Hope I'm wrong. An early goal for us would set the cat among pigeons and should make for an interesting encounter.

Many coming down from Monaghan for this one?

**MagicMon** · 04/11/2011, 12:18 PM

There should be a fair few more than went to Athlone, I reckon there was about 100 in the away support there*. Depends how much of the Dublin-based support travel.

*I'm useless at estimating crowds, could have been 10,000 tbf.
