There's definitely a joke in there about dodgy defences. But I'm not the one to make it.

Cobh 2-1 Limerick, about 20 mins left.

**adamd164** · 12/02/2013, 8:39 PM

Reckon Cobh could surprise a few people this year. Won't get promoted, but they certainly won't be slugging it out with Salthill for second last.

Not sure if it's been posted but Rovers beat Jersey 4-0 on Saturday night. http://www.sligorovers.com/latest-ne...rsey-friendly-

That was a bit of a hike for yous. Is there some link there?

Cobh 3-2 Limerick FT.

Good to see Gaffney back from injury

**nigel-harps1954** · 12/02/2013, 9:21 PM

Bring back Scully. Limerick will be relegated.

**markc1184** · 12/02/2013, 9:33 PM

Drogheda won 2-0 at Phoenix tonight.

**outspoken** · 12/02/2013, 9:45 PM

Seen Limerick's starting 11 it was nothing like their strongest side so I wouldnt worry. As for Cobh I totally agree with adamd164 they wont be looking at SD or mervue in fact if Wexford and Athlone dont preform as expected then Cobh very well could be looking at 4th.

**Charlie Darwin** · 12/02/2013, 9:51 PM

How are Wexford shaping up without Furlong's goals?

**peterpan** · 12/02/2013, 11:00 PM

Very impressed by cobh tonight, solid at the back with Brian Fitz and dub and dav will score plenty in the first division, limerick we ok but missing a few, still need to strengthen big time.

Our match away to Glenavon tonight has been called off to due a waterlogged pitch.
Third time we've had a fixture cancelled in the last two weeks.
Thank feck we play summer football.

Athlone Town vs Sligo called off after heavy overnight rain

**GCdfc** · 13/02/2013, 1:37 PM

With all the rain and the possibility of more pitches being waterlogged I'm sure Dundalk will happily rent Oriel for pre-season matches

Alot of egg on faces now with all the whinging about our pitch on MNS over the years!

Any chance we can have a loan of a few players while your at it?

Cobh were handy. Typical First Division side. I'd reckon they will finish 4th or 5th.

The issue with your pitch has never been about it's all-weather capabilities. It's about that it appears to generate injuries you wouldn't get elsewhere and that it tends to give the home side an advantage.
