2-0 to Galway

[gael353]

Poor game with two poor teams. Note "sess it" we played a 4 4 2 of
Mooney,
Wolfe Waters, Buckley Purcell
Costello, Heffernan Lester Barrett
Kelliher and McCarthy
subs Rose for Costello
Guiran for McCarthy
Keily for Kelliher
Healy and Bourke were unused.
attn was about 350 and not 1750 as this switch to Thursday was supposed to give

Oh our new kit...is shockingly bad! shiny, dark royle blue or maybe thats the black number on the back and the makers O'NEILLS.

purcell at left back?? youre kidding me? oh wait you just typed it anyways
costelloe, while having potential, is not a starter at right wing/midfield

good to see we have some players now and yet we cant win ****. noc out!

"gail"`(sic) do something about your spelling will ya!

[Olander]

bout 15 limerick fans but that was over ye're stupid decision to change to Thursday which lads im sorry but back fired big time and i stand over my 350 attn. I was told by some galway supporters that at max there was 350. 800?

[Olander]

350?

[gael353]

350?

well its better then some ppls predictions before the game of 1500

[LFC in Exile]

Who cares if it was 350 or 3,500 - we still lost.

Any chance of a report or some more detail on how our new lads played. I was surprised to see Costello in - did Rose do better. I suppose I'll get to have a look at a couple of them myself on Sunday - though i presume we will see the "B" team in Crosshaven.

u presume right, mainly an under 21 side. id say waters, barrett and the two lads up front played about 70% of their potential but it just wasnt there from the rest of them. Paddy had a nightmare at the back, wolfes distribution...enough said. lester tried but hes not match fit. Rose is a striker so wouldnt do well on the right. We need a right sided player badly. or a left if they want to swap heff over.

Gael you don't need people to tell you there was 350 there.Are you blind?There was 800 at least there.I was there at 7 00....there was about 300 there. 7 30- about 600.Come 8 00pm there was at least 800 there.
Instead of giving out about our change of time "backfiring" you should concentrate on your own team and how atrocious yee were.Yee dodn't manage to threaten once bar a poxy cross that hit the crossbar.We were no great shakes either but we easily disposed of yee and are capable of playing better.

ur right we were crap but think gough made two smart saves in the first half but ok enough ill let others who were there on the limerick side comment on all things galway.

I wasn't at the game but would also presume we are capable of much better too. Don't forget, this was our first competitive game this season - and Galway hardly covered themselves in glory in the first outing.

Its a disappointing start no doubt and serious thought needs to be put into fixing the problems but if we can pick up two wins at home next week the gloom will be well and truly lifted. (Why is always "ifs" with LFC?)

[declan hide]

keily for kelliher?

hold up. isnt keily a centre half? what happened there?

screw this. one match in and NOC is at it again.

we could have o'mahony at right back. cosgrove on right wing were it not for that fool.

at why not finny and purcell at centre half?

molan at left back?

usually i'd be excited about heading up to hogan but do i have to endure these idiotic managerial decisions for another season?

[LFC in Exile]

at why not finny and purcell at centre half?

Well, if finny can't train I can understand this decision - can he train on his own and still form a partnership with Purcell - maybe, but it's a tough enough call. I agree on Kiely for Kelliher - a weird one alright. I presume Kiely went back, Waters pushed on and Rose went up front. I find it hard to believe Kiely went up front.

Molan at left back? I wouldn't have hin in there first choice - but without Finny, Buckley is needed in centre and I'd rather see Waters in midfield - so Molan should be in there. Is Conor injured? Such a utility player is vital on the bench. He can cover defenders and midfield.

[Fr. Joe]

We'll win nothing with the likes of Costelloe on the right wing another poor former Desmond league player just like Hartnett was.

Hartnett is doing a pretty stellar job for pike at the moment so the Desmond League must be p1ssing on the LDMC if he's a poor player.

Limerick may of lost to Galway 2-0 but it was their first
league game of the season and away from home with several
new players.

I think their performances will improve and if I were a Limerick fan
I would not read too much into that game, things will improve
and they showed signs during the game that going forward
they are dangerous.

Thats exactly what I've been trying to tell everyone

[sadloserkid]

Lim Til I Die in agreement with Galway fan shocker!

[Paddyfield]

Howya,

Official attendance was 752. Last season. I reckon the average attendance was 400.

When I was a kid in the 1980's, I was in Rathbane for a 1 - 1 draw. Gaynor scored for Lims, McGee scored for Galway Utd. There were 4000 people there. Hopefully those days will return for ye and us!!!!

Limerick are all massive players and will cause many probs during the season. Pat Dolan was on the bench? Is he the assistant manager?
