In Limerick's hey day in the late seventies, early/ mid 80's (before my time I'm afraid ) cork hibs, celtic whatever the hell you were called were completely insignificant to us, Waterford, Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk, Athlone were far bigger games (at least how my dad tells it) and I can't see a reason for not liking us now. It's the staggering (misguided) arrogance of your average Cork fan that pi$$es us off, whats your excuse?

Anyway to keep this slightly on topic, come on the Drogs!!!

Is Roy O' Donovan suspended? Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see the best full back in the league (Simon Webb) put the little cheat in his pocket for 90 minutes.

Don't expect the Lims lads to have any songs though.

well he did say Simon Webb was the best full back in the league so one can assume he's not a well man!

If thats the kind of thing that passes for football knowledge down Limerick way, no wonder they are in the 1st division, and will be for a long, long time.
Webb wouldn't even be the best full back in the Munster Senior league...

In fairness, you're talking complete bo**ox now - the standard of left backs in the league is poor enough imo but I would definitely put webb as the second best left back in the league - he has been outstanding for us this season and I always thought he was the best in the league when he was with bohs

**pete** · 01/12/2005, 11:22 AM

Webb was the best left fullback before he left Bohs, now Danny Murphy is the best.

We have four players (Danny, Greg, Hoggy, Billy) capable of playing in the left back position and I reckon all 4 are better than Webb.

100% agree Pete.

Murphy is without doubt the best left back in the league - after that Webb is

of course you do, but people who know that webb is better than msl standard also know that you are wrong

Isn't there?

They're not exactly a big threat to us now are they?
Ditto with Ramblers.

**Raheny Red** · 01/12/2005, 12:03 PM

I'm heading to the final on Sunday. Getting 6 tickets in ticket master tomorrow. For some reason I reckon it will be snorefest though. But hope i'm proved wrong.

Exactly + Hibs fans would support Limerick and Waterford against Celtic and the same went for Celtic.
Exactly, why would either Lims or City be bothered with the other nowadays?

Whatever about your cheat and best full-back allegations, i'd say you're thinking of young Liam Kearney there.
