QuoteAll hail Limerick.
Yeah??Originally Posted by Dunny
Well Limerick drew with Sporting Fingal who beat Shamrock Rovers by one goal, matching Juventus' result against Rovers in Modena, a Juventus side who yesterday beat AC Milan, a club who have won 7 (SEVEN) European Cups
Therefore Limerick > AC Milan making us a powerhouse of world football.
And it's about bloody time too.
All hail Limerick.
Please please tell me I'm not seeing people seriously debate the merits of the LSC?!
I know that, thats why I said Rovers represent Sligo Town and its surroundings but I dont see us representing Connaught at all and the point that we even have fans from South Donegal is evidence of that.
Its Sligo Town and then areas of geographical convenience close to it that follow Rovers not some fabricated GAA ****e that people in Connaught have some big affinity.
Im not saying for a second that the only people who follow Rovers are from Sligo Town and the county im just saying that there is no such thing as a Connaught affinity from my perspective anyway.
Its happening Sru, The off season has begun
Here on a technicality.
Don't put yourselves down. Milan could only draw 0-0 in Athlone. Ye won 5-1.
Hence why Barcelona ask the FAI to postpone your fixture against them!
And we won 5-0.
Rockall.

Blues v Limerick 534. Did you get my Monaghan v Blues estimate 350?
I did yeah; sorry, should have taken it off the list alright. Thanks!
I know these are only guesstimates but the fact that half the premier division is in the hundreds shows the ten team idea has not worked.
I don't you can definitively draw that conclusion from the data given at all.
You're welcome, my bromeliad friend!
Overall average of 1093. Think the IL average last season was round the 900 mark, not a big pile of difference really.
Rough guess,I'd say around 2400. Bout 2250ish in the jodi and 125-150 from Dundalk in the Des Kelly
