For those interested in tuning in to tonight's Limerick/Bohs clash, Noel O'Connor and I will offer uninterrupted live audio analysis of same at www.mixlr.com/limerick-soccer-live
Some real scumbags among the Shamrock support in EDP last night. In fairness the majority seem like decent folk.
If they plan on challenging Dundalk & Cork they need to get a proper manager in. Bradley is a chancer & an ignorant p***k. I really hope they miss out on Europe.
As for Galway, I didn't expect to get anything out of the game given our record against them. The Sligo result is a kick in the teeth. Pat's will be sound.
It's looking like 2 from Galway, Harps & Sligo. If Limerick lose tonight they'll be right in the mix too.
I believe the captain is dropped for tonight, what next...

Bradley should have been sent to the stands in the second half. I've seen Ollie Horgan sent off earlier in the year for far less.
The abuse Bradley was giving the fourth official and the linesmen was disgraceful. At one stage he had to be restrained by his own staff for grabbing the linesman.
The pitch invasion lasted well over a minute and there was a lot more than '2 or 3' on the pitch. Like I said the majority of the fans were sound, just 15/20 acting like scumbags.
Well from our side of the stadium we couldn't hear any of that about Bradley and I didn't see it either so I can appreciate your point of view.
Equally from our side the pitch invasion didn't delay the match and was good humoured. Credit to the stewards who were excelent at keeping it all under control.
in regard to the horror at the pitch invasion,
We were 1 nil down with 10 mins to go and went 2 :1 up in the last minute, in a game we had to win to stand any chnce of catching derry for a place in Europe
Get a grip will ye !
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
Fair point. A result that dramatic has rarely, if ever, happened in the game of football. Who wouldn't want to celebrate it by hopping a wall and holding the game up?
(Seriously; that's a ****ing stupid excuse)
Not PC i know jumping a 3 foot wall but Pitch invasion ....really that's fake news as Dumbo acrosssthe pond would say. On people abusing officals whoever they are whats the point, are going to come over to you and say "oh sorry sir yes you are absolutely right it was offside i will disallow that goal now" There are lads that stand beside me in the east stand every week and they spend the whole game questioning the various officials eyesight, the authenticity of their hair, the lack of it sometimes, their parentage and their IQ. Have the aforementioned officials ever changed their mind due to these utterances, never.
In fairness I can understand why. That result more or less confirmed rover's pd status
Limerick one up at half time, Clarke saved a penalty. Huge result if it stays this way.
LTFC 3-0 up within 15 minutes in El Classico. Athlone have only 13 players tonight.
Another hat trick for Davy O'Sullivan, I think that's his third hat trick against Athlone this season.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Limerick must have had ten chances to double their lead in the second and missed them all. This is torture to listen to.
4-1 in Longford now, an hour gone.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Limerick could have had 6 or 7 against Bohs tonight. Ogbene alone missed about 4 one-on-ones. And they nearly did nick an equaliser late on when Akinade got in behind the defence and cut it back, but it was blazed over. Delighted with the performance and a very valuable 3 points.
Bohs were muck though, not sure of it was an off night, but they weren't up to the speed of the game at all. Decent support for them too, didn't have much to be positive about though.
Longford 7 Athlone 1 about 5 minutes left plus injury time
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Truly Neale Fenn is the reincarnation of Bill Shankly.
Or Athlone aren't very good. One or the other.
