Roll on Friday night for the next home game!

kilburn · 31-07-2010 2:12pm

Super blues all the way.

The Snipe · 31-07-2010 2:32pm

ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT GAME! Couldn't have played any better, the team was top class.

Jofspring · 06-08-2010 2:58pm

Just bumping this up there. Hopefully plenty of people will get out there tonight and support the lads.

Friday 6th:
Limerick FC vs Athlone Town, 7:45pm Jackman Park.

C'mon Limerick!!!!

Jofspring · 06-08-2010 11:21pm

Limerick 3-2 Athlone

Very exciting match in the end. Delighted to get a result against a potential banana skin.

osarusan · 07-08-2010 1:01am

Limerick 3 - 2 Athlone

(O'Flynn 2, Sullivan)

1 down at half time, went 2-1 up, then needed a late winner, which the goal machine that is O'Flynn duly provided.

We move to 3rd in the table, overtaking Waterford. Table here

Next game - away versus Mervue, Friday August 13th.

Next home game - versus table-toppers Derry City, Friday August 20th.

osarusan · 13-08-2010 10:09pm

Mervue 0 - 1 Limerick

(Tracey pen)

Huge night for Limerick. Derry and Monaghan both lost, which means Derry's lead is no longer as insurmountable as it once seemed. We're third, behind Monaghan only on goal difference, which is only 1 goal. We missed a 92nd minute penalty that would have put us second. Table here.

Next game - Home versus Derry, Friday August 20th.

This is a massive game for Limerick.

As Aisling Annacotty have a match at 10:30, and Cork moved the game forward to 12:00 rather then 2:00, there will need to be a change in Venue, which I'll try and have confirmed by the end of the day for you Shatter.

I hear this has been put back to the Longford game in a few weeks due to hundreds of Schoolkids getting free tickets for the Derry game?

Just as well the club didnt officially annouce it or they would have been slated by the many knockers (not the good ones)

around town.

It has been postponed yes, due to the size of the game it would be very awkward to run it - It was officially announced in the ad that was released during the week.

Also the Limerick FC U20's v Cork City U20's Fixture has been reversed to away to Cork City.

My father took grandkids to a home game recently and said he was shocked by the behaviour of some of the fans,said they were acting like "english hooligans" and using awful language in front of kids and just normal folk trying to watch a match.He said you expect people getting into it at rugby and gaa matches but he said it was awful

Why do Irish people chant in english accents haha

But i suppose he will be dragged by them again:)

Insect Overlord · 19-08-2010 9:47pm

Sports fans in using bad language shocker! :rolleyes:

Hooliganism was an extremely serious problem in soccer over the last few decades.

Trivialising the word by applying it to fans using a few curses in Limerick is an injustice to people who suffered from real hooliganism.

bigpink · 19-08-2010 10:04pm

It was more than an odd curse,chanting abuse,acting like apes,even a well known limerick soccer man said who has these idiots to my father.Sure there was trouble when a Dublin team came down a while ago so it was a clash of 2 groups of apes

What the story with the English accents and chanting??!

Insect Overlord · 19-08-2010 10:10pm

Association Football (to give the game its full title) originated in England. Most of the fans who go to watch local games would also be fans of teams in England and Scotland. A lot of the chants you'd hear at local games would be based on tunes and rhythms used by clubs in those countries. It's like singing along to a pop song and mimicking the singer's accent.

As for the apes comment? That's just insulting.

First of all they don't chant with english accents. Some of the chants are also sang at english football games though.

Secondly there was no clash with any Dublin team that came down. You have just fabricated a total lie. There is usually the odd exchange of words between fans which is heard all over the world between opposing fans.

Yes some of the chants can be a bit much but most are funny and a bit of craic. Best thing for him to do is take the kids over to the other side of the pitch where it is harder to hear what the fans are saying. That or don't bring the kids, Football is not a PG event. No sporting event is. When you go to a sporting event in any code you have to expect some bit of colourful language, especially with supporting a team such a passionate thing.

Your just trying to stirr things and i suggest you take it somewhere else.

bigpink · 19-08-2010 10:26pm

Well all i was told they were acting like apes,it was a handful of fans.What would you call acting like that in front of kids?

Im writing about what my father told me.So there was no trouble when Shamrock rovers came down that was the team name.

I'll leave it at that cause i wont win here anyway

dont see flares at thomond park

I'm a season ticket holder, and have never seen any trouble at games this season - Shamrock Rovers haven't played in Limerick for about 5 years, though there was trouble last time they were down (they made an ill-advised assault on The Steering Wheel).

The amount of bad language at games isn't really avoidable in my opinion. The problem is that there is only one small stand, half of which is the family section, the other half of which is where the singers/drummers/general abusers are. I'm sure the club would love to have separate places to house both groups too.

Regarding flares - what's wrong with them? Hardly hooliganism to light a flare, though they're now banned for safety reasons.

Jofspring · 20-08-2010 1:43am

Ya the Shamrock rovers thing was 4 years ago. I remember leaving Hogan Park and bumping into a big group of people from the "local area" who had golf clubs, planks of wood etc.... NOT ONE of these people was actually at the game. They literally heard Shamrock Rovers where in town and thought they'd prove they where harder than them. The Shams fans will tell you themselves that it wasn't people at the game that caused any trouble.

You may be saying your only passing on what someone has told you but slandering the club and the fans is not what Limerick FC needs. Nobody is saying everyone at the games are saints but you should get the facts straight before posting.
