Not a sell out it seems, just seemed like it with people huddled from the heavy rain. Crowd: 5676

All credit to trotting out excuses but we are in serious trouble.

**White Horse** · 04/04/2014, 9:01 PM

Liam Buckley is a class act. He was badly let down by his players this evening.

**SeanDrog** · 04/04/2014, 9:12 PM

We fell asleep after going 3 up but then woke up at 3-2 (hope we learnt that lesson). We could have been 6 or more only skinner was fantastic in nets for athlone.

Athlone where not great but I understand they has injuries.

Fabio is looking as sharp as ever. McNally great at the back and good performance from Walsh . Very happy with the performance (except for the 10min sleep fest ).

Second in the league

The second half display by Dundalk tonight was just superb, thought we completely overran Pats and showed we are a serious side. Maybe 4-1 was a little flattering, and that was def a peno in the first half and probable sending off for O'Donnell but it was still some performance to come back from 0-1 down. I don't think Bolger sending off was a huge effect to the outcome as we were already 2-1 up then. And he deserved to go by the way. Brennan for all his talent is a liability at times, his stupidity after ft means he will miss min 2 games, crazy stuff.

Drogs have had a decent start, no doubt about that, but they have played 4 sides already that will finish in the bottom half. They def look to be an improved side on last year, but there is a long way to go.

Cork are the pacesetters, some win tonight. Great start.

What about Sligo, is it too early to talk of a crisis?

**SeanDrog** · 04/04/2014, 9:54 PM

Don't get me wrong - I'm delighted to be second but seriously doubt we will be there at the end - given the size of squad a mid table would be great.

But who knows lol

It's just great to firstly put daylight between us and the relegation group firstly

Raise those expectations. We're going to win the league.

Skinner was unbelievable in goals for Athlone tonight. Super (and completely unexpected) goalkeeping performance. Enjoyable match with more good football from ourselves. If we keep that style up throughout the year, I think we'll be grand.

**dong** · 04/04/2014, 10:09 PM

No it's not too early.
Once the talk of off field antics starts its usually self fulfilling aftet that.

What's that now?

I think somebody could have made a killing if they'd bet on Cork and Drogs running away with the league after five weeks and Sligo second from bottom.

**pineapple stu** · 04/04/2014, 10:18 PM

Can we ban injury time maybe?

Cost us three points already. If we ignore the two points we won in Bray in injury time of course.

Should have had the game wrapped up earlier, but credit to Limerick for coming back; they probably deserved the draw for pinning us back for the last 20 or so.

Awful crowd, even by our standards. No idea what happened there!

**strikeforce** · 04/04/2014, 10:34 PM

Cork tore rovers apart tonight and the high intensity game they play is a joy to watch. 3 top strikers out and we're top of the league is brilliant. I know its early in the season but all the knockers of CCFC can start eating their hats. Johnny C knows how to get the best out of any team he has managed and this current team is no different. They just keep on going for the whole 90 plus minutes and always challenge for every ball.

It was my first time in the bowl. I don't understand why students aren't offered tickets for a fiver. If you did that and had a few reps on campus and some link up with a local bar for after, surely there would be a few hundred more every week

**NeverFeltBetter** · 04/04/2014, 10:46 PM

It is a lovely little ground when the weather is right.

Is there a minimum price on student tickets set by the FAI?
