put my money where my mouth was, on what i put on the predictions thread. Not only did i go to Dalyer full of optimism only to see it beat out of me by a 4-1 defeat, all four by stupid goals to concede, this has ended up costing me a potential one thousand and seven hundred euros off a tenner. oh what a beautiful start to the season

And what was the deal with one of the shams players not having the pepper sponser on his shirt. Looked unprofesional.

and he had to fight tooth and nail to even get that. It's insane how bad that kip is in 2017

Anybody  have official attendances, out of curiosity! If they aren't good at the start then we may as well pack it in!

Home teams first:   Dundalk v Shams - 4,746 Bohs V Derry - 2170 Galway V Drogheda - 2,113 Limerick v Sligo Rovers          2,357 Harps V Cork - 1,845 Pat's v Bray - 1,722   Shelbourne v Longford Town 779 None of the other FD clubs put up their attendances but presumably Shels` gate wasn't the worst.

Great attendance in Limerick competing with the Munster game and horrific weather, I'm fairly certain attendances will only get better and better, after all it's the bandwagon city
Super performance tonight by us, a few players on our team that could get on to any team in the country. Only got to see us a handful of times last season due to working a sh*t job but tonight was better than I saw us play all last year, some of the football was just unbelievable, saying all this it was against a very very poor Sligo side, looking forward to seeing how we get on in vs Derry and Dundalk away 2 massive tests for us. I might sound like I'm getting carried away after one result but this is without a doubt the best squad we have had in years, our attacking options are incredible.

We were absolute cack. One thing we were last season was organised defensively and there was no sign of that whatsoever. Going to be a tough week (and maybe season) with Dundalk on the way next weekend. Only one of the new signings started and he was taken off at half time. Limerick very good but hard to know what they were up against.

13 pubs in my town and not one showing the match everyone glued to Munster game till they started loosing

We were debating this ourselves, we stand at the fence in front of the shed and the sideline def looked like it had moved a further away. Players seemed comfortable taking a first touch so that's a good sign. Will probably take a few weeks to bed in considering the rubber was only laid on wed/thurs

I just saw Burke's sending off, the whole thing is comical. What on earth was he shocked about? Why were the Shamrock fans clapping him off? I think it is pretty clear why Nolan wanted him out of Meadow Lane.
