Sports – The LOI Mid-Season Break, The Lions, And Tahiti

The mid-season break is here, and Limerick are flagging a bit in the League of Ireland. A 1-0 defeat away to Shams is just another loss in a very poor period for the club, who now find themselves five points … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (LOI Week Ten, EPL Week 37)

A roller coaster of week, not helped by the fact that Limerick FC haven’t played at all, facing Drogheda at home tomorrow night before travelling to UCD on Friday. For the rest of the Premier Division, a bit of a … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (LOI Week Eight, EPL Week 35)

Some really bad football played Saturday night. I kind of wish the sending off didn’t happen, since Shelbourne just packed out their defence for the rest of the game, shut the door. I had a pretty good view of the … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (LOI Week Seven, EPL Week 34)

It seems strange, after the struggles of last year, working hard to keep in second of a very poor First Division, to be in the top half of the top tier within 12 months. But here Limerick are, after a … Continue reading

Review: 30 For 30 #1-5

Having had it in mind for a while, I finally started watching ESPN’s critically acclaimed and award winning sports documentary series 30 For 30. For the uninitiated, this is a series of 30 documentaries (though it has now gone on … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (LOI Week Six, EPL Week 33)

No games for Limerick until tomorrow night, when they face Bohemians at home. Considering the way Bohs have been playing lately, it should be the kind of game Limerick pick three points up from, but the jury is still out … Continue reading

Football Round-Up: LOI Week Five, EPL Week 32)

Another draw. Limerick could hardly have been said to be at their best this weekend, but they were two goals up with less than 20 minutes to go when Dundalk clawed it back. Despite several good performances Limerick couldn’t hold … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (LOI Week Four, Internationals, EPL Week 31)

It was a disappointing night in Thomond Park. I think Limerick’s inexperience at this level, compared with Pats anyway, got shown up big time on Saturday. Our backline was caught in possession so many times, our midfield struggled to make … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (Internationals, LOI Week Three)

A fine display in Stockholm alright, though some question remain. Trap finally changed things up when it really mattered. There was less of the long/hoof ball dross, more pressing, more involvement of the central midfield, more possession. It seemed like … Continue reading

Football Round-Up (LOI Week One, EPL Week 29, FA Cup Quarter Finals)

The League of Ireland is back in business, so I will have a bit more to talk about on a week to week basis. Some good games to start off the season with, none more than Limerick FC’s debut in … Continue reading
