Better make bits of my adopted home town on Saturday!
Gambles away on his honeymoon as far as I know so thats a big bonus for us if he won't be around. Skully is great at screwing up on the big occasions so regardless of how we have been playing lately I think we've a good shot at at least a draw and nicking it is not beyond the realms of possibility. Shall be dragging a few friends along for this one hopefully
yep gamble is definitely out acornvilla! there seems to be a lot of interest around town in this game hopefully the int will generate into bums on seats!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
No exaggeration to say this is our biggest game in years. . Plans are afoot for a banners etc, and to meet up before the game in a local establishment, all welcome. . more details to follow. . Would encourage any one that has reservations about section o to leave them aside and come over and give it a try for the limerick game, very impressed with some of the younger lads at the orchard game, but we need more of it! Hopefully be out early on sat around 7, and take over the O!
YOUR TOWN NEEDS YOU!!
Can I humbly suggest Section O consider a move to N or P if the hoarding set up in your ground is still the same??Originally Posted by Cabs88
One of the lads has an absolutely brilliant photo from a few years back of a much depleted Section O standing directly above a hoarding which said.......... "Need a Friend? Contact the Samaritans"
YE this is the one I've made a small simple banner from an Ireland flag that simply says LTFC and on away days I will have an LTFC boys on tour but the other lads are going all out with a big bed sheet and a few buckets of paint and as far as I know it will read Longford Town FC champions of the midlands since 1924. I really enjoyed being on the drum the last day so hopefully someone will bring a few again this time because it does make a huge diffrence to the atmosphere.
I'd back what the lads are saying about intrest in the game and friends coming along I have a few coming too however since they are only passers by kind of lads they probably won't come over to section O but who knows maybe theyl catch the Longford Town bug like I did many years ago.
On the game itself my record of not making predictions and getting good results came to an end Sunday so I'm going to say the lim boys bottle it and we win it in the 90th minute 2-1 I just have a feeling!

We'd want to liven up a bit from Sunday's performance but we usually respond to poor performances so hopefully Saturday will be the same. Taking some of our chances would be a good start.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
We didn't really have an out an out striker on after Aussie got injured on Sunday with Purdy (whos played out wide a good bit this year) and Duffy up top. One of the lads asked Shaw if hed be ok for Limerick and he said ye while as said above Bermo was suspended so hopefully theyl be fresh and ready to fire....Any word on Aussie?

we're a better side without Gamble and I always believed that Athlone Town were the champions of the midlands...they have the league titles to prove it!
I wouldn't say that now. Gamble has been player of the month two months running now. O'Leary has been outstanding though and is making up for Gambles absence.
oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

champions and limerick.. two words you dont hear in the same sentence very often unless bare knuckle boxing is brought up in conversation ehh..
anyway as the thread says this is the big wan and i feel we need to keep the four point gap at least going into the break as its only half way through the season and plenty of ball to be played yet.
gona go with 2-1 win town and as outspoken mentioned on another thread the odds are 8/1 for dat.. not a bad little bet as most our wins this season have been on a 2-1 score line
Also interview up on extratime.ie with crawly after game last Sunday. Id say tony will have given them a roasting after that game.

actually it was Athlone and champions in the same sentance... but we do have a couple of league titles.
Cheapest and best option for a hotel overnight in longford lads all i seem to find on this is the Longford Arms
Longford Arms is fine! Straight out the road to Flansiro, and then you're right beside Blazersto drown your sorrows after the game. Free in I think if you're a guest, and €2 drinks! Late check out!
Sporting F*ck All!
Typically for the clubs luck, looks like the weather could be poor enough Saturday night. Total balls.
On accomodation - the Arms has some ok offers on B&B at times. Definitely worth checking out anyway, as can be alright value.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Stayed in both the Longford Arms and PV's and to be honest PV's is far nicer and the room was bigger too.
Win or lose i'll have to work in PV's tonightrooms are grand and cheap in both places really
Such a vital game. Hopefully we will see the biggest crowd of the season at it!
Think the GAA being on Sunday could be a factor....I think weather is suppose to be ok-ish
