Everything goes through Chambers - -that's what Croly is relying on?

Shams might as well give up now.

Means Finn doesn't get on the ball and the centre halves and full backs don't want to give the ball to Chambers in case he gets dispossessed as it needs to be a perfect ball, so they lump it up the wing or to Quigley instead, 40m from the penalty box with his back to goal.

For Foran and McGuinness/Oman, read Browne and Kenna last season.

Feel a bit stupid now predicting 3rd for us, but that prediction was in 2013 BE (before Eldinho) so I get a pass.

Ohh Anthony Elding...

Huge game on Tuesday for Shams in Limerick. Hopefully we'll do a professional job on UCD the day before and put more pressure on them to get a win down there.

For the love of humanity, go easy on those poor souls!!

Ehh no, Chambers picked the ball up plenty of times last season from Kenna and Browne. They certainly weren't lumping it.

I know he did, that's the point. That's what Foran and McGuinness/Oman have been doing, except it doesn't work when he is man-marked like tonight.

Browne and Kenna were making the same sloppy mistakes as Rovers tonight at the back when Finn pressurised Chambers in Tallaght last season.

Next time we play Rovers, please add on no more than 3 minutes.

I'd be shocked if Sligo don't win the league. We actually played okay last night. Got the ball down and kept possession well at times. There was never really a danger of us causing an upset though, there was a definite gulf in class between the teams.

The_Kew_Tour

Sligo will cruise to the league alright.

NIMAN

Definitely hard to see past Sligo.

Captain Havoc

Early days yet but Shamrock Rovers need to up the game a bit considering the players that were signed over the winter. Holding possession is all well and good but the ball needs to get into the box to score goals.

AgileMyth

Have to agree we're huge favourites. That Bohs team are very good, will take points from a lot of people this year and we made them look like kids. And we still have North, Ventre, Ndo, Peers and Conneely to come back in.

Pat's fans commentary of the match against Limerick in Thomond! Kicked off fifteen minutes ago, still nil all

Pats up 1-0 vs Limerick

Penalty by Killian Brennan

Very impressed with Sligo, a class act. Could have won by as many as they wanted.
Elding is immense. The half time kickabout was hilarious!:)

Actually really enjoyed that at half time too. The two Sligo lads were shocking! They'll never hear the end of it!

NIMAN

Sligo weren't so hot in the 1st game of the season at the Brandywell. If we had went for it, I would say we could have given them a bit of bother. We started off looking for the 0-0 imho.

Then again, maybe they could have stepped it up if they had wanted to?But sure-fire favs for the league.

AgileMyth

It was the first game of the season to be fair. And we did win it. Away. Against the team currently in second.

I'd say thats good enough for anyone.

Copper_pipe

Full Time : Limerick 0-1 St pats

were still not playing the best we can but when we have a fully fit squad we will be very exciting to watch.

A couple of them were incredibly bad.

Great 3 points for Pat's down in Limerick tonight.

More penalty controversy at a Limerick game...the "honorable" Buttimer gives a pen for a blatant dive, after last week Limerick are refused a pen...

We certainly didn't deserve anything out of the game mind you, we played quiet poor, but the penalty was a genuine disgrace

Ya it was a blatant dive. St Pats kept things simple and in the end got the result. Limericks passing was very poor at times. Won only one header from a corner I think, and that was in injury time.

Tonight was the poorest we've played...really missed Dave O'Leary tonight and Folan at the back looked awful tonight

As professional as last season in Belfield I hope.

upandcumming

Blah blah blah rabble rabble Pats one nil rabble rabble...

POW!

LTFC two down after ten.
LTFC two behind after fifty.
LTFC win four three with 93 on the clock.

GET IN! Top of the league!

dreamers75

good win for us, battled for it and earned it. Should have put the game to bed in 1st half but they came at us in 2nd half and we held out. Strange us doing that we usually concede around then.

Gamble and Bradley were quality, suppose you get what you pay for but we were too good for them in the middle.

one of the best LOI away trips i have ever been on. cracking day out with pats fans, rubber now but worth it, superb day out and fair play to train people and limerick lads for sorting it.

new song lads

Junkie boys we are here ohh ohh junkie boys we are here ohh ohh junkie boys we are here shag their women sell them gear

flas

We had some win tonight away to cobh....top of the league

The_Kew_Tour

Extratime say there was about 3000 at Thomond last night.

That's not bad for Limerick.

guinnessdrinker

Great crowd in Limerick, must be the highest attendance of the weekend.

Oat23

The official attendance at Thomond was 2305 according to a guy on twitter.

Shams/Cork was about 3500-4000 according to their forum. Their forum is great craic BTW. Season is over and Croly is a terrible manager after 5 games according to some of them.

dreamers75

2305 said in the stadium too, had us on one side and them on the other.

Only for Garda and stewards we didnt see anyone from Limerick :O

Well run by pats and limerick.

Stella Artois Cidre is piss, sell it in Thomand. Nice stadium tbh

BOHtox

Are the away fans in the opposite stand to the Limerick fans or are they all thrown in the same stand?

They were in the opposite when I was there for the Cork game.

Copper_pipe

Ya last night the Pats fans were on their own side as well.

Got a pic of it

For once it would be nice to hang on. Over 15 minutes to do so. Be nice win, but I can see 1-1 being full time score and more disappointment.

I hope so, I have Derry to win 2-0 and Drogs to draw 1-1.

WELL DONE SIR!!!:)

Cant say im happy though from personally point of view. That is 5 points dropped in last 3 games from goals in last 3 minutes in games.

Needs to be addressed.

You don't win games with Behan. He started FFS. May as well started with 10.

When Behan was sub on Friday, he spent his time falling over. Has he bulked up?

Liberty Counsel 50/1, I only had €1 E/W, so I'll get back €64.50.
