    Playing out from the back, by players with poor technical ability, and on bad pitches?

    Talk about starting with a handicap.

    Reporting on a 17 year old BJ is a bad idea
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Dead right. Congrats to Harps, devestated tonight but Russell is the wrong man to get us back up. Won't compromise his preferred way of playing and that for me is why it took 21 games or whatever it was before we won a game.

    Ach I think he would be pragmatic enough to do what is needed. There are a few ball playing sides and with clubs in the 1st Division next season Cabinteely would be the only place with a particularly bad pitch? Thankfully I dont know that for sure but there is no Gortakeegans these days.

    Congratulations Harps and hard luck Limerick. Hopefully O'Sullivan doesn't pull the plug down there as there's potential for a big club if they can get back to the top level.

    If Martin Russell is retained next season, I just...I don't know. I don't know why they would do that, other than there being literally no one better willing to take on the job. They cannot keep that man on, late (uncompleted) resurgence be damned.

    He wasn't pragmatic in Finn Park. If he was, Limerick would still be a premier team.

    Fair enough, without seeing the game i shouldnt be having a stab in the dark on Limericks performance or setup. They were within a few minutes though of a penalty shoot-out away to a side that were defensively sound. Limerick would have been vulnerable at the back ok. Not knowing if the pitch was heavy or anything either. Just from what was said on Radio Foyle at the end they seemed out on their feet but still managed a last couple of attacks. It was also commented on them starting to argue among themselves which is exactly what not to do when trying to retrieve the tie with 5 or so minutes to go.

    Unfortunately Dundalk fans dont have to imagine a long drive home from Finn Park after a play-off game...

    Yeah man, they call gambling a disease, but it's the only disease where you can win a bunch of money.

    Yeah it can certainly be done if you have enough quality to overcome the war that the First can be. Strikers are key.

    As much as I am in despair of the possibility of Russell staying on, I imagine the likely squad budget and the lackadaisical way Limerick tend to go about constructing a team in the off-season would leave any manager struggling to get promoted.
