QuoteLet's see how far Limerick have come since that horrible night in Turner's Cross. In the lead-up to MF opening, you really need to give people a reason to turn up.
We're unbeaten in the league, 3 points clear with a game in hand and to be honest, I don't think we've got going yet.Originally Posted by Charlie Darwin
We're very solid and have finally added some pace to the side. It's probably the biggest side, physically, we've had in years which is always needed in the First Division.
I think tonight will be tough, travelling the length of the country without Keith Cowan, Packie Mailey and Brian McGroary to face a side who are going well since Hendo took over. If we can get 3 points tonight, we could be 6 points clear of Wexford and 9 clear of UCD albeit very early in the season.
It would set up a cracker in Finn Park next week v UCD.

I'm going to suggest that Paula Brady (tonights referee for Cobh v Harps) enjoys giving Kevin McHugh bookings??

That was very harsh on Derry last night. Although they came clearly with a plan to defend in numbers and for a draw, such was the poor display by Dundalk in the first half, they will be very disappointed to lose the game.
They probably should have had at least one penalty, and the other was in the 'I've seen them given' category. Now granted Dundalk were the only side who tried to play it on the ground, but that was only for the last 20 mins, Derry finished very strong, but Kurtis Byrne really should have finished his one on one after sprinting into the Derry half completely on his own in injury time.
Overall a very poor display by Dundalk, but delighted with the win, via a deflected 87th min shot by Mountney, however Derry will have full value thinking they should have got a point.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Crolly off to a great start with Bray. Good to see him back in the league as from reports he is a modern type coach.
Terrible game in Jackman again. We once again worked hard, knocked the ball around but never really created much. Cork looked very average. Offered zero going forward and had a lot of players that were pretty anonymous all game. They can't blame the pitch either cause while Jackman is a **** hole, the pitch is in pretty good knick.
I'm happy with not blaming anything. 3 points is enough.
Massive 3 points for Harps. 11 games unbeaten (8 wins), it equals the clubs best ever start to a season.
We're f**ked.
The way we are going, it will take us 13 more games to get the 5 points that currently separate us from the team above us.
F**ked.

Harps are very big and solid team who will win the first division imo.
They also knock it around well.Sickening though to lose tonight. Most Ramblers fans pretty angry about the throw ball which led to the equaliser. That said harps were pushing for the goal and deserved it.
Wish David Browne the best, looked a nasty injury.
Thought Cobh were excellent in the first half. They'll be very disappointed to have lost.
Injury to the goalkeeper was an ankle injury, maybe broke, swollen up like a balloon according to the ambulance folk.
A fantastic game though I thought, real entertainment while no great amounts of football played. Second half Harps were excellent and looked like the more hungry of the two sides. A different Cobh side under Hendo and could certainly push hard this season for play-offs with one or two additions in the transfer window.
Most Harps fans however were incredibly angry with the performance of Paula Brady, she had a shocker in the middle. Booking Ruairi Keating for diving in what was a clear foul was madness. I think she was equally bad for both sides though, worst referee in the league by an absolute country mile.

Good to hear that there are no issues with equality in the league when it comes to standard of ref then.
It looks like the bottom spot is between you and the drogs. I think Bray will improve unless the deal doesn't go through.
Limerick remind me of Dundalk in 2012, not a good thing.
Mickey Funston at it again for Harps (nod to Cobh goalkeeper)
Josh Mailey got Harps second with a decent buildup and good finish
Raymond Foy with the winner from the edge of the box. Note the "ah sh!t" of inevitability from a Cobh supporter.

Aided by the fact that Pats were very average on the night. Our PA chap needs to learn the word Wanderers- Bray Wanders is what he calls us.

Sadly that's been the case on numerous occasions this season.
You can't spell 'Funston' without 'fun'
god we were poison, absolute poison
Thankfully we have a handy one on Friday to try bounce back...
Here on a technicality.
Yeah with a recent dip in form, missing a regular centreback, goals not exactly flowing for our striker, cant decide on the midfield selection...I say you hold all the aces and that the league table is totally misleading!! While were at it Shamrock Rovers are incredible to watch with their silky brand of football and Cork City are just pure filth in the numerous tackles they make per game....
