I dunno, was brilliant with Fingal but then various stuff seemed to happen.

Could very well click, don't get me wrong, but the fact none of the twenty nine Premier clubs in the greater Dublin area had a look at him is possibly quite telling.

From what I hear ye we're very lucky to beat Athlone last week

The same Athlone your lot drew with a few weeks ago.

considering ye dont like the big games at home and we beat you last time confidence wont be high in your camp I'd imagine

Last time we played we beat you.

Comprehensively.

Just 27 points from the last 30 for us.

Only thing playing on our confidence could be the ridiculous home big game thing. Which of course is a factor in fairness.

For my own part, logic would suggest we will lose this Friday, lose again in three weeks time, win the rest of our games and win the league.

On the off chance we win Friday, the league is over.

Anyway, with regards the game on Friday, I fancy us to get a result. Hopefully O'Leary is out for ye coz he bossed the game up here in June. I'd be more worried about him than I would be about Gamble or Bradley.

No lets concentrate on the fact that after regaining a 2 goal lead they had 2 harsh red cards and a dodgy penalty. The fact they were down to 9 men contributed far more then the dodgy penalty ye got i would say somehow.

Nobody know's what the 2 lads that were sent off said to the ref that made him produce the red card. It was obviously highly offensive for him to take such action. Collie James was sent off for something he said to the ref against Waterford recently. These things happen, players should obviously choose their words more wisely in these situations.

Unfortunately we have a manager that panics at home in big games and makes daft and ridiculous decisions team selections and tactics if he relaxs pick his best 11 in there proper positions cut out the hoof ball that has come back into play over the last few weeks we CAN win it. A win for Limerick and the title is ours imo.

I was told that apparently collie was saying to a waterford player, about Kirby ''Hes not a F**king cheat'' and all the ref heard was the F'n cheat part and thought collie was shouting it at him..

Well it was moments after the ref sent kirby off for being raped by a tackle in the box so it makes sense. T'was a club official that said this anyway, I doubt there's much to gain from lying about what happened.

If this was the Terry case Collie would be a free man!

The more i think about this match the more i realise there is actually more pressure on Longford then us. We win we as good as win the league fair enough but if we draw we stay at least 3 ahead lose and we still dont come off the top.
Longford on the other hand need to get something from it they lose and the league looks a hell of a lot harder to win.

All this talk the pressure i son us because we were expected to do this and that is ridiculous our players and manger had said all along from the start it wouldn't be easy so they have no pressure from that.
We will still probably panic it being a big game at home but what a time it would be to put that whole thing to bed. It has to end at some stage surely.
