    Sounds like you have already lowered your expectations - no title challenge in 2017?

    Whatever happened to the 2nd place you predicted and Bradley is "targeting"?

    Your post seemed very straightforward to me: you were diagnosing what you thought happened rather than defending what happened. Hardly rocket science.

    I thought teams targetted and got a lot of joy out of Massey in the Europa League, although he offered a lot going forward.

    Are derry any good?

    Obviously based on last night we will beat dundalk handy enough in the third game in oriel.

    So I just hope derry are competitive.

    It would be bad for the league if we pulled away as early as we did last year.

    .

    Very true , it would be very unsporting to the rest of us for lims to run away with it so early

    A local kid was attacked on his way to Oriel Park by a group of Shamrock Rovers fans last night. Gardai are looking for information.

    Does 2nd place not guaranteed Europe?
    As for the 1st part, do you not have the mental capacity to understand that if I said Rovers will finish 2nd it means I don't think we will win the league?

    Very good start by Dundalk, and obviously delighted with the result. With 3 key players out, not to mention the 3 who left it was going to be a tough ask with plenty to prove. It was encouraging to see the team work hard as a unit, and get over the line. I will say though that it was a very tough challenge from Rovers, and not many teams will work us so hard and right up to the 94th min at home.

    Second place is up for grabs.... apparently
    Limerick have been on some run since the last third of 2015 season. I'll look forward to seeing them play.

    Generally, the team finishing 2nd in the league tends to be a title challenger - unless the 1st place team opens up a sizable lead from early on.

    A Europa League spot is a possibility for Rovers, but based on the evidence of Friday night they have a huge amount of improvement to make before even thinking about mounting a decent challenge to Cork and Dundalk for the top spots.



    P.S. It is a pity you feel the need for the "mental capacity" type jibes - you seem to have developed this 'chip on your shoulder' style which maybe mirrors the approach Rovers took on to the pitch on Friday!

    9 guys made their compeititive debut for rovers last night 2 of the others were 18. Last year Dundalk played us off the park 3 times so I'm encouraged by last night. Don't know how much closer we will be this season but I have to think a good bit. How close will depend on how quickly they gell together. Corry will help as well as a fully fit Finn. At least we have hope.....can't wait for bohs next week .it's great to be back I've even splashed out on a seat in the 1899 suite to taste th e prawn Sangers
