Final away game of the season (bus running check Facebook for details). Really confident we can repeat our big win up here from earlier in the year especially if sully and the rest of our attacking players preform like they did in cork!. Would like to see Hunt back in goal and maybe Mulhall at full back but bar that same team again please. Stop Treacy and we stop their only player in any sort of form at the minute. Win and we can finish 6th this season which should be the aim.

Thornton gets wound up too easy as he showed by blasting a crucial peno over the bar the last time the 2 sides met. If Drogs score it will be a set piece or a long range goal.
I can't see how you can be so confident De Town have blown warm to freezing all season, yes on paper we should win but Mark Kinsella has them doing a lot better than Mc did,
if we manage a draw I'll be over the moon, Cousin will probably set up not to lose, and try to catch them on the break, I agree with you I hope Davey starts
Nope fully expect us to play the same team as in cork and blow them away
Hope the Town fans give TC the send off he deserves in his last away match in charge of De Town! Then an even better one next week in his last home match in charge of us. Big name manager taking over next season if what I hear is true.
Gary Twigg in as player manager.
All will be revealed after the Derry game.
Can't give him a send off if we don't know he's going! He'd probably just get the usual grief instead*
*not saying it is or isn't deserved
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Wonder what price Shoddy is
0% chance of that ever happening.
We've come good and gotten the results when it was needed. TC and the lads should be lauded for this, 6th place would be a fine achievement all things considered, especially given how shaky everything seemed just a week ago. We could still finish 8th yet all the same. Delighted Shaw got some goals, deserves it. I do still hope that a managerial change is afoot, we need a breath of fresh air badly IMO, the last two results might paper this over, for some.
It'd be awful harsh in basic terms to let a manager go who got you promoted and into 6th/7th in his first year up. And yet I wouldn't cry about it if his replacement was right. I can see both sides and if the club stick with TC I won't be crying and moaning too much about that either. We'll see what happens next year.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Thanks lads.
It's not The Rodster or Sean Connor before someone throws his name in the hat! More chance of Mickey O'Connor or John Cleary coming back than there is of either of the first two getting the job!
Town Legend I love you like a brother*, but I can't see it.
*a half brother I never had any idea about
Anyway on the whole

I obvuisly won't be crying if cousins goes but what id want to know first is who's replacing him. You say a big name? I want that to be a big name of managerial quality and not just some poster boy or washed up former player. Better the devil you know. Squad will need major work though and maybe a new man is what's needed to build that, all though TC's record of swuad building is very strong. Haha I'm nearly leaning the way of Tony staying now it all just depends on who this so called big name is. Has Gillespie his badges lads? I'd fu(king crack up
Kenny Cunningham!
Tony should stay.
I am not goin to get involved in speculation! all I am goin to say is that I am delighted that Gary Shaw is finally up and running after going 31 matches without a goal!
I see in todays independent that we are linked with Brays Niall Cooney. Anyone know anything of him?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
