Shels vs Limerick FC - Sat Nov 15th 7.45pm Tolka Park, Dublin

LizardKing

Shels have it in their own hands to win the first division and get back into the premier ... Will be attending to cheer on the lads who have done great to get this far with so little resources. Keeleys a legend ...

Hope all hard core and fair weather Shels fans can attend to cheer on the real reds too :-)

Going to be an epic evening.

Get down to Tolka.

Anyone with a passing interest in Shels should be at this game.

EVERYONE DOWN TO TOLKA!

Dying for this, having made 46 out of 47 games this season (home, away, friendlies and the cup) I've been waiting for this day since that night in Beggsboro, Cabra when we played Cork in our first match of the season.

C'mon the Reds.

Should I point out that Limerick FC have been a defunct team for a few years now?!;)

Limerick 37.

Didn't even cop that myself, Limerick FC as of next season (again).

Dundalk coming up would be much better for the league.

Ah it's grand, sure there's need for another Dublin team in the Premier considering yourselves and UCD on the way down

They've had enough chances. It's not Shels fault Dundalk have ballsed up promotion for three of the last four years.

Becoming the only North Dublin team in the League Of Ireland Premier Division thank you very much.:p

More fans? Slightly, in saying that we have easily the best and most consistant away support all season over all 22 LoI teams.

Bit rich coming from Bohs about fans and proper base.:rolleyes:

Indeed, hopefully do a "4 in a Row" this season.:D

Seeing as their crowds in the First aren't a whole lot less than yours in the Premier, footballing tradition history that the club have (sure to bring back lapsed fans and location (only club in locality) I think it's safe to say they would have higher crowds than yourselves.

Previous crowds for comparison:

Dundalk - 1,459 (1,406; 1,078; 474; 591)
Shels - 925 (888; 1,690 PD; 1,949 PD; 2,158 PD)

But as with all...ahem..non-Dublin sides, that depends if they're doing well. Dundalk in the Premier not doing well will bring few compared to Shels

Precisely.

I'm not a devout follower of the league of ireland tbh but I do keep an eye on Limericks progress in Div 1. They seem to have had a decent enough season so the game at the weekend could be a tricky one for Shelbourne?

Ronan|Raven

Limerick are playing some good stuff this season, should be an interesting match.

Most definitely, last time we won 2-1 (after losing 1-0 in I remember correcting) and then the last game in Tolka against them they beat us 2-0.:eek:

We were one nil up then one all then won 2-1.

Limerick are 3 months unbeaten away for home. It will be tough. But all runs have to come to an end sometime:D

kerash

Ooh it'll be a nail biter me thinks, I'd prefer to see Shels winning it myself.
LMAO @ Des banned from soccer:D

rovingrover

Whether Shels are a north or southside team surely Bohs are another northside team in the premier division.

No gimme for Shels on Saturday.

[Jackass]

Damn it!! I really want to go to this game! Granted I'm a fair weather Shels fan, I've been keeping an eye on them all season, but I'm going to the match in Croke Park at 5.15pm so I'll try and leg it from there to make it to this game at 7.45pm. Should have enough time.

I'd love to see shels going back up, if we don't go up this year it'll be a different league next year, much tougher to get up. I'll have to wear my Shels jersey (bought one this season - at last!) under my Ireland jersey and give it one last push for promotion...COME ON SHELS!!!

SantryRed

You should have at least a half an hour to get to Tolka.

You'll be grand getting there.

Quint

Just watch the rugby in fagans then head to tolka.

SantryRed

Wonder will there be extra Limerick fans on Saturday so?

After the rugby game, some may pop in.

DSB

2 nil Shels, and then a night of extreme celebration and a big middle finger to the FAI.

Limerick are the only team to beat us at Tolka this season right? This is something we defo have to put right on Sat.

I haven't seen Limerick play anywhere near as often as I wanted to this season, but I've been hearing great things about their recent form. John Tierney for a hat-trick to make Shels wait another week?

Limerick Dude

I wouldnt mind going to this game. Unfortunately i've made it to very few Limerick games this season! There should be a great atmosphere and im sure there will be a strong team out for Limerick and a good performance hopefully. I say we will definetly want to put a spanner in the works for Shels

Hopefully Leo will be there too, what a legend!

pablomakaveli

I hate shels but i would like to see them in the premier division again. there was always a great atmosphere when they came to the Cross and i look forward to that again. Good luck ye b*****ds.:D

Gavin "shels"

Nerves at me, butterflies, hungover, everything at feckin' once.

Awww, diddums.

Congratulations to Dundalk. Personally I'm delighted for you guys, you've been banging on the PL door way too long so it'll be good to finally see you up against the best next year.

With that said though, hard luck on Shels. Doesn't get much tougher than that. Hopefully the Dundalk fans can be just as gracious in victory as I'm sure the Shels fans will be in defeat.

podge018

Lol

thusspakeblixa

All I can say is - SH1TE.
That was absolutely heartbreaking.
...Congratulations to Dundalk, you proved me wrong, but jaysus, that was poxy

bobbysands81
