This Friday we play Waterford for the forth time this season. Our record is less then imprssive against them P 3 W 0 L 3 D0 F 2 A 6 PTS 0. They play a 4 2 4 with Dempsey and White sitting in front of the back four. Im going for a 1 1 draw.
Such a good outfit, if the first two months of the season hadn't been a balls up they'd probably top the division. It's depressing to say it, but a draw would be considered a good result for Limerick, despite being league leaders, and at home. I expect a conservative enough gameplan from Scully.
Waterford will be going all out to win though. Draw or lose and whatever hopes they have left of automatic promotion are finished.

The first two months balls up consisted of a seven game period where they picked up five points.Originally Posted by NeverFeltBetter
They've picked up four points from their last four.
It will be nothing short of a disgrace if we lose four times to Waterford this season.
We probably will. On account of being Limerick and that.
If we win we're champions, Longford can beat us and they'd still need us to slip up one more time than they do in the run in and looking at the fixtures that really, really, shouldn't happen.
I'd nearly take a draw in the hope Longford slip up before we play them.
0 - 2 defeat it is then.
Why are Waterford playing Mervue Monday night when they have another game Friday?

Refixed cup game.
Waterlogged pitch Friday.
Sucks for them.

Is there any reason why Bradley has been dropped last 2 games or is it just Scully being Scullly?
Why would we play Bradley when we have a perfectly good centre back who can go onto the wing? If we did something silly like start Bradley then we could be even more crazy and play Jeffrey judge on the wing where he has played before.
I hope to god Scully doesn't go crazy on team selection for a big game like he does 90% of the time.
As usual, we will know 5 minutes before kick off if we will have a good result or not.
I seriously fear him snapping like a twig in the run in.
Scully has taken us to the top of the league after a bad start, limerick to win.
Waterford/Mervue cancelled again, so no rest advantage. RSC must be in bits.

Few things for Friday. Park well away from Jackman. Do not park on upper careys road (heading to the cie club) do not arrive at 7:45 and expect to walk in with no Q. Arrive early, purchase your tickets early from the club shop in Arthurs Quay. And for the team.....win
Really id never have known.
It still doesn't stop the fact that dropping Bradely and playing a centre back on the wing are 2 unnecessary and stupid decisions.
I never said we wouldn't win but he has to stop with these stupid changes for changes sake.
Going to go for 1-1 in this game.
Probably to do with the fact he keeps getting injured, can't trust him to play a full 90. Although, giving him 10 mins at harps was a bit of a head scratcher...
WEre all talking about the players holding there nerve in the run in but a lot of people including me are hoping the manager holds his nerve and just picks his best team and play them in THere right positions.
Bizarrely, it wasn't! The FAI ignored the expert advice of the RSC staff and jumped the gun to call the game off early (before Mervue travelled?) The rain had stopped, the pitch was draining properly and staff said it'd be fine by 5pm when they would cut it and re-line it for the game. One half of the pitch had supposedly been perfect, but the drainage had just been delayed by the high tide. It would've suited both clubs to get the game out of the way. Really frustrating for me because I had travelled home for it and was passing the RSC around 5.30 with the pitch looking in great condition and the sun shining!
Can't make the game tonight. I don't hold out much hope of us pushing our luck with a fourth win, but then again, I didn't think we'd win a third game...or a second or the first! Long and Kiely suspended for us with a doubt over Craig Burns so we might be missing both our centre halves. We've been playing really badly for a month so surely Limerick won't bottle it tonight....
Like Apollo Creed all Limerick need to do is stay standing.
(blocks ears) Shuddup ...shuddup ...shuddup!!!!

Holy Christ. It never changes does it. Brutal again and again he starts a defender on the wing when he has a full squad + under 19's to choose from.
