Should be looking for a win here. Even though the season has already started it looks like a high mid table finish is what we're playing for as Sporting Fingal, UCD, Shels and Waterford seem very strong. Unless Pat Scully can work his magic in the next transfer window, I cant see us getting anywhere near promotion this season. However, if we can keep close to the pack and win matches against the "lower" opposition we might have a slight chance so therefore the importance of winning against the likes of Finn Harps is imperative. I hope theres a good performance first and foremost together with a few goals. I reckon it'll be 2-0 to the Super Blues!

Hard to tell as I don't know what Harps are like this year. Very poor from what ive heard. They won't be like some teams who come to Jackman Park and put the whole team behind the ball and hope for a 0-0. They will push forward and try and get a result for themselves so i'd say a close 1-0 to Limerick.

like us you mean........scullys system means we play like that,plenty men behind the ball so we dont concede with one up top.we do need to go on a run now and will need a bit of luck along the way.think harps wont be a patch on what they were and they have their problems,its a game we should win but might struggle,score draw.

Ya scullys system isnt the best for attacking free flowing football..Its a pity really considering how the team played last year at certain times in the year. But suppose results are what matter..

Don't know what harps are like but i think we have the beating of them.

2-1.

Harps are pish, and worse since Gethins is suspended. Can't see anything but a Limerick win.

Your not all that bad, iv had a sneaky look at your game in Athlone. We'll get nothing going up the middle thats for sure but see a slight weekness with your full-backs so we need Walsh on form. Able to keep the ball and play it around but static in the final 3rd. Could be a fustrating night if we dont score after an hour and Harps will keep pushing til the end.

0-0 in front of 600+

With the greatest of respect to Harps this is the kind of game that we need to winning if we're serious about making inroads on the top four. After last weekend's result we need to keep the momentum going.

Head says 0-0, heart says 9-0.

Am taking Mrs Castletroy Blue along to her first game tonight...so 0-0 with 1 shot on goal it will probably be then!

2nil to Limerick conditions could play a big part.

**KevB76** · 08/05/2009, 5:45 PM

2-0 to the Super Blues

**Sam_Heggy** · 08/05/2009, 6:08 PM

Ye will prob hammer us with a full team never mind when we have 5/6 players missing.

**JohnD** · 08/05/2009, 9:26 PM

4-5-1 Formation at home ???

We gave Harps their goal and looked without ideas for the whole match. When we pushed more upfront towards the end we looked like scoring every time...Go Figure. 2 Dropped points for sure.

Can we please play 4-4-2 ??

**MikeBassett** · 08/05/2009, 10:24 PM

Limerick really should've won this game tonight, no excuses. Finn Harps were gifted a goal and after they got it they upped their game a good bit. Thought Paul Walsh was very poor for Limerick on the night and Hughes and Barrett in the middle didn't really get on top. Shane Treacy was very good in the first half. Also thought Martin O'Brien robbed Limerick of a very good chance after the first goal with a bad call for offside. Although Tierney is a good player I don't think he's strong enough or physical enough to play up front on his own, he got muscled out of it a lot tonight

**gael353** · 08/05/2009, 10:47 PM

4 5 1 at home to a team as bad as harps? no offence harps but its the worst harps team in ten years. we wernt scoring so a center half is subbed for....another center half???

last time i saw us play this bad was back in rathbane in the fall asleep times of the DD days. shocking stuff.
