Burdon is by no means the finished product. He's obviously still shipping the goals, and as of yet is no Peter Schmeichel.

But the fact is, he has much more experience at arguably a much higher level in France.

I only believe Hanley needs another year or two in the First Division by watching him first hand, and I don't believe personally he's ready for the step up yet. There are better goalkeepers in the First Division in my opinion.

Maybe so, maybe not. Time will tell on that one I suppose.

yep that sounds right town legend... he is half irish which explains why he came over to Ireland to play

Extratime's report of the game last night contains the following

"Bolger’s cross cum shot"

It's a shame I have such a dirty mind...

Since when does RTE News show highlights of non-live games?

**Dodge** · 16/04/2013, 2:32 PM

Used to always show them for mideweek games (from memory)

Just wondering there, anyone remember other examples of a midfielder getting a hat-trick in LOI? Seems rare enough - maybe I'm forgetting a few obvious ones . . .

**adamd164** · 16/04/2013, 6:13 PM

Shels look to be in real trouble. I think they'll go down and UCD will stay up.

I remember Jonathan Minnock getting a hat-trick from left back for Harps in the early 00's.

Billy Dennehy got one for Rovers against UCD a couple of years ago.

**freewheel30** · 16/04/2013, 6:58 PM

Defender's even better, I guess!

I think I remember the Dennehy one, but am I right in thinking it might have been cup?

**SkStu** · 16/04/2013, 8:05 PM

Get in! McEvoy scores to give Bohs the lead against Limerick.

57' -
Limerick sliced open too easily. Through ball from the left evaded Nzuzi. Keith Buckley went one-on-one and was hauled down by Nzuzi. Alan Kelly issued the red card and Buckley's penalty is fired past Ryan.

**SkStu** · 16/04/2013, 8:06 PM

1-1 balls!

**Fester** · 16/04/2013, 8:38 PM

2 - 1 Limerick

**thomas72** · 16/04/2013, 8:50 PM

Great win for limerick playing 30mins with ten men

**Jofspring** · 16/04/2013, 9:01 PM

We were terrible till going to down to 10 men and a goal behind. We were much more urgent after that albeit a little scattered. Delighted with the 3 points though. Thought we hadn't a hope when we went 1 down considering our performance till that stage.

O'Callaghan and Taylor got heated just before our goal squaring up to each other and O'Callaghan went looking for Brown after the game.

Derek Doyle did for Pats in 2010 against Galway, Vinny Faherty also did it against UCD last season, Doyle, Faherty and Forrester were all playing out left of a front 3.
