    He obviously just refused to come on. He's a pretty shy individual.

    Woeful match in op. 2-0 victory that should of been more but we did our best to get athlone back into the game for some reason.
    I think if Athlone were still playing now with an open goal they'd still miss

    Dundalk were in first gear tonight. I expected more of a challenge from Athlone.

    We were forced into 6 changes from the team that beat Limerick last week, and we've taken a single point on the road this season - so you really shouldn't have been expecting that much!

    Dalymount is a very tricky place to win in this season alright. For the home team.

    Well if we hadn't have scored in the first half you may have had a chance of hoping for a draw as we created next to nothing in all of the second half. Total jaded performance really.

    Would you Cork fans not be tempted to throw down a few bob on the title odds? PP are going something like 5/2 on Cork compared to ridiculous odds of 8/11 on us, same games same points. Well maybe our GD is worth an extra point as it's now increased to +11 over Cork and + 31 overall. I still think it's not bad value on Cork, then again you'd have to put on a fair whack to make decent money.

    If it wasnt for that pitch in Oriel we would of won 4 or 5 nil of course Was a poor performance by us but we were missing alot of starting players. Didn't expect anything from this game so not that worried. Still some massive games to come for us. Can't see anyone but Dundalk winning the league.

    I'm not so sure about that lads, we were pretty pedestrian yesterday. However one thing to note is, if we beat Bray at home next Sunday, then Europe will have had no effect on our League form, as that would mean 3 wins out of 3 while playing 4 games in the EL.

    We are unbeaten since mid April I think, but Cork have won 8 of their last 9 too I think, and there are still over 3 full months left, so anything could happen.

    Dundalk are by far the best team in the league this season, i reckon they'll have the title all but wrapped up by early September.

    Brilliant job done by Stephen Kenny to come out of Europe without dropping any points. (I've just assumed they'll beat Bray at home)
    Here on a technicality.

    as said, Dundalk are by far the strongest side.
    Cork will drop off the pace and defo wont win it,
    we are out of it
    and Rovers don't have it in them this year IMO.
    I think you will win it on merit but if that fails, the inability of other teams will also help.

    Based on last night's performance if we play like that against Bray we will struggle to beat them. I don't need to remind dfc fans that we lost to Bray in the last series of games

    I like the St. Pats agenda now saying that they are out of it and that it's our league. IMO pats are still in it until it is mathematically impossible for them to do so. Shamrock rovers too are still in it.

    We are just past the half way point in the league and there is still a heel of a lot of football to be played.
    I believe that pats have in them an ability to go on an unbeaten run from now till the end of the season. They have the squad and with the Galacticos that they have at their disposal

    We are 100% out of it, as you say we would have to go on some run to catch up, maybe win our next 8 or 9 games, we're just not capable of doing that this season, we can't defend.

    Maybe so but dundalk and cork will drop points from now till the end of the season.

    9 points is not an insurmountable gap with 13 games to go

    I don't think we're quite out of it, but you'd have to say it's unlikely. Dundalk definitely look favourites. Frustrating, as on our day I'd back us against anyone but defensively this year we just haven't been tight enough. Shrewd of Dundalk not to bother with Europe too and save themselves for the League.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
