Read a good point on foot.ie about all the kids getting autographs from the pool players(most of wish will end up in lower league football in England), while two former Irish international's were on the grass bank:D

Who was on the grass bank presuming it was Dominic Foley and ???
I was actually suprised not to see any of the Limerick lads stay behind cause of they were there I know my young lad would have asked for autograph or a pic

What kind of clowns would go up to Jackman and cheer on a Liverpool team playing Limerick. A Liverpool team that even the most die-hard 'Pool supporters would'nt have the faintest idea who any of them were. its mind-boggling really and rather sad that these people can count themselves as sportsmen/women. Probably the same people that would sit in front of a 50" screen on a Sunday watching Wigan play West Brom rather get off their butts and support a local league game.:mad:

I did not cheer for eitheir team last night but I am a die hard liverpool fan and I know who everyone of those players were as I watch reserves on LFCTV.

But only reason I did not cheer is because it was a friendly but by some miracle if Liverpool ever drew Limerick in europa league then I would be cheering for Liverpool

Im not a regular but that has more to do with work commitments then anything else but when I am free on a Friday evening I would drop down I feel it is important to support my local club and every summer I sign my young lad up for their summer camps

Dominic Foley and Joe Gamble.

In fairness all the young lads went out and swarmed the Liverpool players so the Limerick players strolled off. A lot of the Liverpool players were actually walking off the pitch but were so swarmed they stayed on the field. I'd say they weren't even used to that kind of attention. The Limerick players i'd say would have been delighted to sign autographs for kids. If your at another game just ask one of the lads for a pic or that. They seem to be very obliging anytime I've seen young kids ask them.

Back to the important stuff.

Limerick vs Athlone, Friday 18th, 7:45 Jackman Park.

Longford are playing SD Galway and I expect them to get maximum points and a bag full of goals. SD last friday were the worst LOI team I have seen. We were poor and still managed to hit them for 5.

I'll be heading up again and hoping for something similar to the away performances which I havent seen any of rather than the home performances I have.

It could happen in the next 3/4 years if Limerick people supported their own along with their barstool team of choice. Shamrock Rovers were playing Spurs in this years Europa league, its not so long ago they were in the 1st Div.

Could be a tricky one, if Scully goes one up front again at home i think we could be in for a long night.

We'll win tomorrow night, it will be a horrible 1-0 and we'll do our best to draw it:D

I think there will be a serious crowd at it...I think everyone should try and bring a friend, it could be the start of our title run:D

Good point. We should really all make an effort to go there more often and bring a friend. Could be worse ways to spend a night.

result was a 2:1 win, both goals scored by Rory Gaffney, and the second goal was a real cracker, nicest one Ive seen in Jackman Park in a long time!

Just back from the game myself, we were poor if I'm being honest.

We looked very poor in midfield at times, for example their goal was just a joke, too many mistakes.

Barry Sheedy from the start really...he was very ordinary at the best.

The only good things to take out of the game was Rory's performance up top(in his natural position) and the first half performance of Dave Ryan...we're not looking for a repeat of his second half one, nearly dropped the ball into his own net...twice

Behan wasn't great tonight either...

Now its top to look forward to tomorrow's day of sport and forget about that horribly nervy football experience that was tonight

Jofspring

Missed it tonight but sounds like it was the usual scrappy game.

Next weeks a big one to look forward to.

FAI Cup:

Friday 25th:

Shamrock Rovers vs Limerick FC, Tallaght Stadium, 8:00pm.

On the road we perform much better so hopefully we can put a good show in next Friday and kick on from there. I expect us to have a large enough travelling support and a decent crowd out from shams. They usually get 3,000-4,000 out for games so anything near 2,500 will be a nice gate for limerick to split with them.

how did longford do,if this scraping games keeps going on much longer it will catch up with us by the sounds of the way were playing against weaker teams.

and according to the Longford fans they were brutal and just about got away with the win.

Looking forward to this one, think we can get a draw at least, all the pressure will be on rovers. I'll go 1-1 with Limerick to win the replay here next week.

Shamrock Rovers 1 - 0 Limerick in the FAI Cup.


Sounds like we were denied a pretty clear penalty. Padraic Quinn red-carded late on too.

Jofspring

Anthony Buttimer destroyed last nights game.

At 0-0 we had a clear as day penalty turned down which Buttimer was 5 yards from. In the last minute we had another penalty turned down which he was also only a few yards away from. There was no way he was upsetting the cart though.

Proud performance from us. We had a 19 year old up front, our midfield consisted of a 17 year old, 18 year old and 19 year old. We were missing 6 key players and still gave a good account against the current LOI champions.

Any interest in the Longford game ? not much talk on here about it. Can't afford to lose this one, the last thing we need is a seven point gap.

Believe there will be the usual supporters club heading up to it

Jofspring

The usual few will head up alright. It's a massive game if we don't want Longford pulling away. Neither of us have been setting the league alight to be honest but if we put in a similar performance to the one in Tallaght I've no doubts we'll win. If Scully sets us out extra negative we will lose. We always do better away from home though which will keep me optimistic.

Still without Gamble, Sheehan, Foley and Derek O Brien as far as I know.

That's a pity they deserve more support, second in the league with a good chance of winning it, what more do people want.

What I mean is theres no point in advertising on these pages. Official SC overall has really taken off in the few months its been around. Support for it has been fantastic.
