QuoteLimerick will beat Longford tomorrow night,13/8 is a super priceOriginally Posted by NeverFeltBetter
Other teams having the same problem doesn't make it ok, it just makes us lucky in regards oppenants also screwing up. And, on the basis of this year, our problem has continued in a league that is far less competitive (or should be) then it was last year.
It's up to Scully and the team, tomorrow, to change that.

Limerick will beat Longford tomorrow night,13/8 is a super price
Like I said before, I'm not actually expecting them to lose, I think they're playing well enough to avoid that possibility. I just think a win, away to a team that has been as good in the league as Longford has been this year, might be a bit too much to hope for. But even getting a point in a "big game" will be an improvement on Limerick's usual fortunes.

Of course we will.
I think we will win every game after tonight by minimum 5 goals and never concede a corner again ever save this post Minesapint.
In all seriousness though ive woken up today in confident mood im gonna revise my prediction to 2-0 Limerick.
Dropped five points after 12 games, and ran the show in Jackman. We're simply shocking.
Sporting F*ck All!
brill result 2-0 we are better off playing away from home every week
should kick on now and claim top spot and stay there (hopefully)
match report lads??
13/8,how bad,bout time I made a few quid off them.what was Bradley sent off for?
2 yellows twas fair enough i'd say.
1st half you boys were a bit better but that was mostly down to us really and the goals were from a deflection and a **** up from Kirby, we had the better of the second half and especially after the sending off, one of those games on another day could have been a draw but fat man up top did his job for ye and you were solid in defence.

We deserved the win for sure were by far the better team first half....First goal was very lucky came off a Longford players hand i think, 2nd was a great finish after a nice through ball.
The ref did gave Longford absolutely everything some of the decisions to give corners were the most shocking decisions i've ever seen also don't think Brads deserved to be sent off,the amount of frees he gave for people fairly winning the ball but just touching off people was ridiculous.
We played the ball on the floor very well at times tonight and definitely could have scored more. Like i have said before Gaffney is far better as a striker. Man of the Match for me was Dave O Leary for me the lad is class. Also thought young McGrath did very well.
I dont agree at all that it was down to Longford and i think a draw would not have been a air result but thats just my opinion.
After the sending off we really just sat back and kept it tight which worked well enough.
Have to say too fair play to Longford Flancare is looking very well these days.

Won the league tonight.
Anyone on here feel free to quote me in October.
There's beating a team and there's putting them in their place and Longford were well and truly put in their place tonight. Despite playing most of the second half with 12 men (eleven plus the ref) they created nada, nothing, zip, we were so comfortable twas unreal.
Dominated Longford in the first half they had absolutely nothing to offer except long diagonal balls. They ended up using three different players at right full over the course of the night (even subbed a sub at one stage) Brossie and Gaffney were killing them, they couldn't cope with O'Leary, Bradley and McGrath spraying it behind them.
First goal took a slight deflection but was on its way anyway, sweet strike.
Second goal was a screamer, struck it clean as a whistle.
The sending off was an absolute disgrace. The ref in general was a disgrace. I can't decide whether he is incredibly, INCREDIBLY, inept, or just crooked.
In the second half after the sending off Longford had a lot more of the ball as we dropped far too deep. As above though, despite playing against the extra man and the ref we weren't particularly bothered. They had nothing Cousins was doing the Riverdance on the sideline.
Hope you're reading Caschera, your paymasters wouldn't be happy, you did your best but class outed in the end.
So well their event comptroller wouldn't allow any blue flags to be draped over his pristine seats.
Tiny, tiny, man.

That is quite sad in fairness.
Gonna revise this down to 30 - 50 to avoid looking foolish.
Now you have to feel foolish for revising down
Bitter or what?
I'd take the 'fat man' over any of your strikers any day
Exact same circumstance as Monaghan last year.
You bring any bit of a crowd to redneck country for a big game and they feel intimidated so they feel they have to act the big man and create problems where there should be absolutely none whatsoever.
Genuine conversation I overheard tonight:
"Take down those ****ing flags" (great manners)
"Who the **** are you?"
"I'm the head honcho, I run this gaff" (I kid you not folks, he actually said that)
(laughing out loud) "Give us a good reason to take down these flags?"
"This is Section B reserved for Limerick fans and I'm expecting a sell out" (I kid you not folks, he actually said that. Also for the record event comptroller, that's section D you had the Limerick fans in)
"Go away you clown"
"Do you want me to get the guards?"
"Off you go"
Runs away to get the guards.
Cue two (sound to be fair) guards arriving who found your man hilarious and the whole situation a bit bemusing.
Section O's flag wasn't removed from the seats infront of them.
Tis the luck of God there wasn't a crush.
Only drawback is I don't think he'd be able to dive with quite as much grace as Karl Bermingham.
