3-2 McMillan hat-trick

**Nesta99** · 05/07/2016, 8:16 PM

If it stays as it is with GD it is essentially a 10 point gap with 2 games more played. Important prior to the rigours of Europe, and with McMillan firing on all cylinders at the right time!

3-3 Gorman

**Nesta99** · 05/07/2016, 8:21 PM

d'oh!

We must be in CL mode

I'm in England at the minute but the crowd sounds awful. Dont need to be dropping pints at home to Longford. Maybe this is the break that Cousins has been talking about all season....

Offside from McMillan for number 4. It must be a tactical ploy in front of the Icelandic scouts!! eek!

**patrickccfc** · 05/07/2016, 8:22 PM

3-3??? What the hell is going on here, did not see that coming

**Town Legend** · 05/07/2016, 8:27 PM

4-3 Dundalk

**patrickccfc** · 05/07/2016, 8:28 PM

Live score had it at 4-3 for a minute there....

**Town Legend** · 05/07/2016, 8:28 PM

False alarm! For now.

**patrickccfc** · 05/07/2016, 8:30 PM

It's going to happen...

**Town Legend** · 05/07/2016, 8:36 PM

Now it's 4-3!

**patrickccfc** · 05/07/2016, 8:38 PM

Wouldn't do to spoil the constant whinge fest from the Longford "support".
Fair play toTC and the team for having a go at Dundalk.

**Town Legend** · 05/07/2016, 8:42 PM

Does having a go put points on the table? TC should of been relieved of his duties weeks ago. Every man and his dog can see that bar our board. But it's not going to happen cos he's been given the go ahead to sign players. Unfortunately we are going down this year due to a lack of managerial skills and leadership on the board.

**Nesta99** · 05/07/2016, 8:48 PM

Tactical masterclass from Stephen Kenney - look really ropy at the back, conceded easily in front of the FH scouts but always planned to to keep just in front of our domestic basement club by winning 4-3. McMillan with 6 goals in 2 games and we shall start Kilduff!!

Sorry Cork fans for shutting out that glimmer of dropping points at home, pressure on and ging to the wire again. 9pts the maximum gap to help with fixtures coming quick and fast the remainder of this month and hopefully next too. I was never in doubt!!!

**White Horse** · 05/07/2016, 9:19 PM

That was far too much excitement for a Tuesday night.

I thought LTFC were unlucky. Came with a plan and in the end almost worked out. They were organised and gave our normal solid back 4 a horrible night. Duffy was a handful as was the number 19. I was expecting much worse for the bottom club but a neutral looking wouldn't have thought it was top v bottom.

**ToberonaTornado** · 05/07/2016, 11:29 PM

19 was Kalleem Simon,he was excellent as was Duffy.Few at the back for Dundalk tonight need a good kick up the arse after that.

It was bad enough when it was minerals.

In fairness to TC, not many teams are capable of scoring 3 against Dundalk and coming within a minute of a draw.
Last year he did absolutely outstanding. I think he should be given the chance to try to turn it around.

Longford definitely unlucky not to get something from the game last night, even when they got it back to 2-2, they sensed nervousness in the Dundalk defence, which in truth was terrible all night. Longford could easily had a 4th, a comical piece of play between Rogers and Boyle, resulting in a close own goal, it was pure mayhem at times at the back.

To their credit though Dundalk kept passing it and going wide into the last 5 mins, and not unlike the Wexford game, you got the impression there would be one last chance, Kilduff had a fair bit to do, great header, keeper no chance.

McMillan was superb, can't be too many strikers who scored successive hat-tricks in league games in recent years, mental to think he doubled his goal tally from 6 to 12 in a space of 4 days.

If Longford show that attitude and workrate for the rest of the season, they might have a chance of really pulling clear, hopefully they noticed the stand clapping them off before the Dundalk players walked off. They should take great encouragement from their display. Dundalk need to focus on one item before the CL matches, defending.
