Hope Scully doesn't get overly overly cautious...

Play like we can and we win but we won't and we won't

**outspoken** · 02/08/2012, 9:51 AM

Ah that's disappointing. We're lucky last time the rain held off and there was 1200 at it. Great night

**Jofspring** · 02/08/2012, 10:57 AM

Longford are 5/1. Definitely worth a few quid.

That's crazy odds to be fair

**Longfordian** · 02/08/2012, 8:31 PM

Wouldn't back us really. Maybe +1 @ 7/5. Draw h/t Limerick f/t is my prediction.

**Bosco** · 02/08/2012, 8:33 PM

Not suprised at our price...we were 5/1 when we won down there last time as well and that was when we were top of the league...

**outspoken** · 03/08/2012, 12:18 PM

You wouldnt see that in any other league to be fair, the bookies often over price LOI footie.

**Treaty Gooner** · 03/08/2012, 1:38 PM

Lots of people headin up tonight that would never darken Jackman's door, can only be good for the club. Come on boys, don't bottle it.

Shop seems to be doing very well going by pics on the facebook page.

We should be getting 1,000 at least at this but between 600-700 is more likely. A lot will prob say they are waiting till Sunday.

Waiting 'til the friendly so can't go to the top of the table clash . . . makes sense

Or move away from where he is. Same thing happens at GAA matches and rugby matches.

Good entertainment tonight despite the no score. We threw everything at them near the end but they defended very well.

Good crowd too which was great to see.

Gaffney was outstanding and only for a lack of a goal it would have been a perfect performance from him.

**thomas72** · 03/08/2012, 9:13 PM

Don't know how longford got out of there with a draw I can't recall them having one shot at goal. Limerick should of won 3 or 4 nil tonight so poor finishing hit the post twice one was over The line. WE played well done everything but score I thought longford were very poor expected a lot more from them there team bus should pull in and do the euro millions tonight can't believe we didn't win.

**ped_ped** · 03/08/2012, 10:12 PM

Keeping them at arms length, not bottling it at home . . . good days work, pity we couldn't take our chances.

Ref was a disgrace. Decisions were awful, obviously, but his physical state at this stage of the season. He's being paid ffs

**da bishop** · 03/08/2012, 10:35 PM

in terms of the league a more valuable result for us than longford,who defended really well all through but were rudderless going foward.thought the quality of our play very poor,only a few vintage moments mainly from gaffeney and while both judge and foley should have done better with chances it was the ..old reliable...gaffeneys long throw we relied on in the last fifteen mins,ya we looked more likely to score but imo the last quarter of this match was aimless hoofball at its best .would have expected much more from gamble and bradley who created zilch given the experience both have.decent result,good crowd,pitch excellent,poor enough game.

**southern kid** · 03/08/2012, 10:48 PM

I agree 100% with da bishop,fair summary of game. very poor standard.gaffney and purcell excellent though.

I don't think we missed any really opportunities so i wouldn't say the finishing was that bad just one of those nights another night we would have won by 2 or 3.
I was very happy with the performance anyway.

First draw of the season for us.

**De Town** · 04/08/2012, 12:05 AM

Was disappointed with our complete lack of attacking intent. The first half was fairly even with both teams having one or 2 half chances, as well as your attempt that hit the crossbar and clearly didn't cross the line (which someone above said it did). Once we came out in the 2nd half though we were clearly playing for a point. In saying that, we did have one excellent chance in the 2nd half when Shaw swung for a ball played across the 6 yard box and fresh aired and Purdy was arriving too late into the box to tap it in at the back post. Apart from that though we were content to fire the ball long to Shaw, who's clearly not a target man but we insist on hoofing it at him anyway. Cousins was obviously happy enough to keep the gap at 3 points and still have a small shot at the title than maybe going a bit more gungho tonight and possibly losing. Our back 4, especially our 2 centre halves were excellent, thankfully.

what ball was over the line, you must have been the only one to see that.
