Yep buzzing for this now, Limerick did 120 mins Tuesday and they dont exactly have a deep pool of players to choose from so they won't be up for this at all

gimmick · 12-03-2015 1:16pm

Hopefuly the weather improves from today. Forecast is decent I think.

A good win will set the season up nicely. A scrappy 1-0 or worse will turn people away. It really is that fickle.

Luckily Limerick seem to be utter crap so should do a proper job.

The_Banker · 12-03-2015 3:17pm

This is the time to put a few past Limerick...
There will be a lot of people there for the first time so a good game and a nice win should bring a few back.

We need to be putting teams like Limerick to the sword if we are to challenge for the title this year.

The_Kew_Tour · 12-03-2015 9:34pm

Can't wait for tomorrow night. 3-0 for me.

CHealy · 13-03-2015 2:11pm

Beautiful day outside and should be nice an mild for tonight, get down to the Cross and support the lads, its a great night out.

gimmick · 13-03-2015 3:43pm

Nothing mild about it. It will be cold so wrap up, but perfect conditions. I reckon there will be 4500+ tonight.

Cape Clear · 13-03-2015 5:01pm

Tickets sold out in the club shop but available from 4 outside the cross

ShamoBuc · 13-03-2015 6:45pm

Reckon we will get over 5k tonight - an impressive win would be a great way to kick off the season down the cross!

rob316 · 13-03-2015 11:10pm

Great night at the cross and good turnout. My god Limerick are so bad though.

Balmed Out · 13-03-2015 11:11pm

Suppose that was impressive enough

ShamoBuc · 13-03-2015 11:18pm

Hard to argue with a 5-0 victory!!! Get in !!!!!

The_Kew_Tour · 13-03-2015 11:39pm

Very impressed with Sheppard.

Deserved a goal. Lovely runs. Holohan and him could be the signings we needed last year.

Better teams to cone to Cross though. After tonight I be surprised if Limerick are not in bottom 2 teams come October.

Balmed Out · 14-03-2015 12:13am

How bad were limerick? Away for weekend so didn't get to game

Terrible worst team I have seen come to the cross in a while. Could of been 10 to be honest.
Their goalkeeper was pub level he had a mare altogether.

It must be so boring being a Barca fan.

Think I got a taste of it last night.

Good professional prrformance against an awful side. Impressed by Miller and Gaynor.

Actually thought Shepard was very very poor. Felt giving him motm was tokenism at it's finest. He ran about like a game border collie but his finishing was pathetic. Really needs to up his game.

Though he was OK, got in behind plenty of times, didn't he win the pen?

Thought Billy deserved motm

Paz-CCFC · 14-03-2015 12:48pm

Though Sheppard was decent. Unlucky not to get a goal. He seems like the kinda guy that when he gets his first under his belt, he'll be flying.

Poor old Morrissey's goal drought in the league continues. The same as last season, he just can't seem to put it into the net. And then when he does last night, it gets ruled out for offside. His confidence looked shot - he was devastated not getting on the scoresheet. Like Sheppard, the first goal will settle him down and things should go a lot smoother.

I thought Sheppard was superb. He constantly got in behind them and got his head up for the support players. Their finishing was lacking. I called him as MOTM anyway.

Gaynor was poor defensively in the first half, was savage with himself going off at half time. Sheppard did a lot more than run around to be fair, he linked play very well and brought a lot of the midfield into the game with his movement. Needs to work on his finishing but I think that'll come. Not sure how it was tokenism either.

gimmick · 15-03-2015 11:11am

By tokenism I felt it was a case that the people who decide it felt he had a poor game but would give motm to boost his confidence.

CHealy · 16-03-2015 10:59am

I'm nit picking here, but I actually left TC pretty disappointing by the whole thing. 5-0 is a great result no matter what but Limerick were there for an absolute battering, I'm talking 8 or 9 nil, pity we didnt try to step it up in the second half.

Cork people eh?????

SteelyDanJalapeno · 16-03-2015 11:03am

We did score 2 in the second half, I thought we were camped in their half pretty much the entire 2nd half but Limerick adapted at half time and parked the bus imo, they had 9 men behind the ball at most times.

We were expected to win by about 2 goals, I went away delighted.

gimmick · 16-03-2015 11:19am

To be fair, once the 2nd goal went in, City pretty much stopped. And its hard to blame anyone to not risk injury or a booking. The game was won.

True, as I said, that was me being selfish.

Hopefully at least a draw in Tallaght on Friday night and another home win against Galway on the Tuesday, and that would be an excellent start to the season given we have/had Sligo and Shamrock away in the 1st three games.

Wilberto · 16-03-2015 10:07pm

We were also quite wasteful at times though. It very easily could have been the 8 or 9 nil that you mentioned but for poor finishing. Danny Morrissey could have easily had two or three, and that's what I'm most disappointed about. Had he scored a couple on Friday night, one would be hopeful of a return to past glories for him.

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 17-03-2015 3:13pm

Soccer Republic didn't even bother showing the great team "goal" we scored friday night only for it too be ruled offside

The_Kew_Tour · 21-03-2015 12:42am

Very happy with Point. 2 very tough away games out of way.

No walk in park on Tuesday but a win would be real confidence booster and might give us belief that we may go 1 better this season.
