Seems to be more teams than usual playing "passing football" anyway. Only Shels and Bray seem to have more direct styles right now. Televised game the other night was excellent as well, the second half especially.
I think the standard is still good. Rovers' European exploits and the ex-LOI players doing well in UK leagues is keeping players motivated to perform imo.
Drogheda's winner from other night has been youtubed actually (I think it's better watched with the sound down). Dundalk's pitch is going to get stick but that's three or four very good "team goals" that have been scored on it this year.
