What are you on about. Didn't it happen in your own box as two players tried to win the ball, nothing malicious at all and not one of the harps players even reacted to it so it must not have been that bad. Bluewhite says he got up out of the ambulance after so couldn't be that bad.

What's your angle with calling limerik scum and hoping the player breaks his legs? Makes no sense.

Just talking to one of our stewards that says he was talking to the lad after he came off and he said it wasn't that bad. He had no complaints about the tackle.

For those complaining about the Tolka pitch - you are in for a treat when you travel to Monaghan!

Was very close to the Harps fans and from where I was I thought Behan was trying to get a shot away and the 2 harps players dived in.....

What a stupid post you clown it just proves you didn't even see what happened because if you did you would of seen that behan had the ball in the box fainted to shoot 3 harps players dived to block the shot with yer owe player sliding in on yer owe player basically Limerick had the ball so how could we have made a tackle. AS for you sickening comment about breaking legs your nothing but a complete muppet.

You folk make me laugh. Not sure whats worse..the fact you took what I said seriously..or that you're arguing the point about the tackle.

I know it wasn't a bad tackle, and I was talking to Keith after the game too who is actually grand. He's getting a scan today to see how bad it is but it's not as bad as it first looked.

In fairness there is nothing in your original post to suggest you where joking.

No mention of the tackle on Peers in the last minute by any of the Shels fans amazingly enough (stupid playacting by keane after it). Shame to see Tolka Park gone to the state it's in,

Great performance by us in the second half I thought under all the circumstances. Peers and Dillon the two standout performers. Shels number 8 was excellent as well (was it Cassidy?)

Yeah it was Casso. He's a cut above sometimes. It can be frustrating when he's so far ahead in his thinking and tries to do something clever which the rest of the players aren't able to envisage and then an attack boils down to nothing.

Deano's distribution was shocking last night and I don't know how many of those awful kickouts were telegraphed. The amount of times he dilly-dallied over the ball and allowed ye to get back into position was something fierce.
Didn't like the look of Rogers under pressure on any backpass. We should have exploited that more.

I just hope for the rest of the season that Sligo don't go down that road of OTT protests at the ref and the rest. I always had a soft spot for the Bit O'Red but last season and last night have coloured my attitude towards ye.

Some win for Wexford. Had Cobh or Tralee been beaten by that score in the opening weekend their place in the league would've been questioned. On the back of an 8-0 friendly loss to Shamrock, things are not looking good in Waterford.

Straight away I took his post as a joke referencing Sheahan's broken leg in Ballybofey last year.

As someone coming on here for news of a game I was unable to attend, I would agree, there was nothing in the above to suggest you were joking.

This was also a possibility that occurred to me when I read it, but even then its in fairly poor taste if so, and many reading this wouldn't perhaps make that connection, and from that viewpoint it just reads nasty.

**the-blue-harp** · 03/03/2012, 4:11 PM

Obviously a joke! Especially after limerick fans reaction to an honest tackle that went wrong last season with Mark Forker.

**Keen2win** · 03/03/2012, 5:00 PM

Was at the Shels-Sligo match... Two things:
1. Kavanagh is telling the truth.
2. Worst pitch I've ever seen in loi, I think!

**CiaranR** · 03/03/2012, 5:11 PM

I remember when Tolka was by far the best pitch in the league!!

Here are two performance analyses from last night's game:

http://sc1sports.com/derry-city-v-bo...s-performance/ A look at Stephen McLaughlin in Derry's win over Bohemians

http://sc1sports.com/drogheda-united...errea-gilbert/ Looking at Stephen Rice and Kerrea Gilbert from the televised game.

The posts contain passing stats as well as a look at a few other aspects and trends of their performances.

Keith got an x-ray this morning, there is a fracture, he'll be out for around 8 weeks. Massive blow to us.
