Bohs made five changes as well.Originally Posted by sullanefc
Ok. Good for them.
Sour enough!
I was waiting for him to do 'somethin Stupid' but I think he will have 'No Regrets' after it.
A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.
Some turnaround from Friday. I was trudging out to Tallaght fearing the worst on the back of a three game losing streak. Defeat out there would have thrown us well and truly back in the relegation mixer. But two wins in four days away to Rovers and Cork have us dreaming of Europe.
It really is a funny oul game.
Yeah I was just looking at the table, mad what 2 wins has done for ye.
Next few league games have us coming up against teams fighting at around the bottom, drogheda, Sligo and harps. Very tricky games this time of year.
Outside distraction of an unbeaten season is gone, now let's get this title wrapped up, the sooner the better.
Seems that you and El Pietro were at different matches
Good to see Georgie Poynton in such good form ahead of his return to Dundalk next season. His loan extension has worked out really well, delighted for him.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
A great kid with a great attitude, he'll be missed next season.
Can't understand why being unbeaten was a distraction, the league is won so the only thing left to achieve in it was to go unbeaten. I'd be very disappointed if I was a Cork fan won't get a better chance IMO
Penalty aside I don't see a difference there. I said that I didn't get a good view and the highlights show I was wrong on the location of it at least. Having seen the reply I wouldn't call it stonewall but it was a silly tackle to be making in that area. Same category as the penalty in tallght this year. Don't give the opposition an excuse in those areas when your chance of making the tackle cleanly is so low. McCarthy is very young though and will learn. He did his leaving cert in June.
I'm gutted to lose the unbeaten run. We're most likely trying to put a positive spin on the loss. We'll never ever have a better chance to go unbeaten. We probably won a lot of games we had no right to win this season, and given the size of our squad and disruption to our team due to injuries its a minor miracle we got this far. 21 games is incredible to be fair. Horrible to lose it at home especially. Plenty still to play for, perhaps we won't win the league in the next week or two but we will win it with a good few games to spare. With the unbeaten thing out of the way no excuse not to put our full focus on the cups once we have the title wrapped up. Hopefully we can give the treble a good run but we have no divine right to either of them, and as Pats/Rovers well know Cup victories are not easy, no matter how badly you want them.
Thats not a dig by the way, just saying that no matter how good a team you have you can find it extremely difficult to win the cup and both teams had their droughts so desire was not an issue.
Bohs have scuppered a couple of unbeaten runs the last few years.
Well I suppose after every win we got the focus on going unbeaten intensified in the media. It is disappointing to lose it, and at home too. But I guess no one thought we'd get to 23 games to only lose our first game. Drogheda is a good game to bounce back in though, almost certain to go down you would think.
Was it 2009, I think, bohs were on an unbeaten run from the year before and we ended it with a 1-0 win in Dalymount. Got us back I guess
I remember they beat us on the opening day of the 2010 season too.
Bohs were also the only team to beat us in 2014 domestically in all competitions.
Having seen it on Soccer Republic I thought it was a bit of a soft penalty. Akinade certainly went down very easily.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
That run went a bit under the radar compared to Cork this season. Both away wins for Bohs and at a key time in their season both years. That said it was felt that Bohs were far the toughest team that Dundalk met that year with even a 0-3 win in Dalymount considered as one of the most blessed 3 goal wins you'd ever see. They would be in command of the chase for the 2nd EL place bar players out imo.
Just for a bit of balance, Bohs were the only team to lose to the record-breaking Galway team in 2011 as well.
