Here's hoping the youths can get into the top 6 where they should be on the ,ajority of this yrs performances.

Before you get too big for your boots and wonder how we are so far ahead of you,just think back to earlier in the year when we spanked you 5 nil up there. We are playing muck,but we are still much better than yourselves,as proven on three other occasions this season!!

Yes you are still a better team than us but not by as much as you like to think. Yes you beat us 5-0 and we played awful that night but you where lucky to beat us twice at home we where close to ye in both of those games as acknowledged by both your players and management.

Also think people are under estimating our performance on Friday night. Yes Dundalk where not at their best but we put in an excellent performance and at times did not let Dundalk play.

Yeah your right not much between the teams....

I tend to work off the bizarre logic that the league table (points deductions notwithstanding) will, over the course of a season, do a pretty good job at telling us which teams are better than others...

Thanks, an acknowledgement was all we were looking for.

I'm not forming an opinion on this game in particular, moreso the fact that if a team concedes 3, how they can expect to win the game is beyond me. Its very rare for sides to score 4 against the teams up the top of the league.

Great game last night,tension was unbearable at the end,but very important win for us.Thought we deserved it on balance of play.Had Robbie Farrell scored the tap in it would have been a lot easier on the heart.
Hope Wexford give Shels a good test tonight.

Top of the league again. Two horse race now

and from what ive seen this season the table does not lie. Dundalk and Shels definately the best two teams. Think Limerick are going to have a big say in the winner of this league having to play both Dundalk and Shels still. Could come down to Shels vs Limerick on the last day of the season.

**Blue-Army** · 17/10/2008, 10:51 PM

We're out of it now unless we win both of our next 2 home games - against Dundalk, and Shels. BRING IT ON!

COME ON BLUES!!!

**Lamper.sffc** · 18/10/2008, 1:03 AM

Hard to post at this point. But fair play to dundalk. The pressure was on their team big time and they pulled off the result.

Can we start next seasons thread early??

I just can't wait!!

Its going to be a long 4 months.

After tonight I think next season is going to be unreal.

Maybe for once we can have a quiet off-season and come back with the same squad

Heres hoping Dundalk go up and Harps stay up.

Looking forward to nice close away trips to Galway and Cobh.

No doubt Galway, Cobh, Cork, Pike Rovers etc will come in in the off season and poach all our players as it was in the beginning and ever shall be.

But you know what??

Tonight, for one night only, we are the dogs ballaxe.

And you know what else??

After fifteen years, it's almost enough.

I heard (And don't quote me because I may be wrong

) that all the first team squad has already signed contracts for next season.

The majority of the young players Kerley signed in June/July are still only in 2nd and 3rd year in college in UL so I can't see why any of them would leave. Just hope we keep the same squad for next season.

Add another 3 or 4 experienced players and we will be up there, if not winning the league.

If LTID is positive, things must be going well
