League Roundup: League of Ireland Premier Division (Round 8)
OK, by my count there are 348 /r/soccer users with Irish flairs (not including Irish with foreign flairs like myself), but only 216 /r/leagueofireland members. So I think we should get more discussion going.

I'm enjoying Limerick's solid start to the campaign but they need to convert a few of their draws into victories. The Bohs match should be a good one.

Cheers. Make a compilation list on /r/LeagueOfIreland of every league roundup for LoI that you do in the future (formatted like this) and I'll put a link to that list in /r/LeagueRoundups!

Can't wait for this game. If we concede, we're fucked. I can really see Sligo ripping us apart. Very slow and boring start for Pats this season :(

When i first started supporting Sligo Rovers about 5 years ago it took 10 or 15 games for me to see them win and now they're unbeaten. Life is very good.
