Grim from Harps,Athlone got ahead and seen it out very comfortably,worrying lack of ideas from us …
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.

mind numbing stuff. yer keeper is good though , probably the only highlight of the game.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Another draw for Kerry. Two points left behind.
That's the keeper who parried a cross into the net in our last home game don't forget.
He's solid enough in fairness, but has some right clangers in him. Which is probably why he's at UCD and not somewhere better
If Rovers win our game in hand we are 3 points off the top.
We are barely average with the players missing. Terrible league this year.
But ill take it if we can
Fairly routine win in Tallaght tonight tho Sligo weren't terrible.
big weekend coming up away to the top two
Despite missing the usual quality players , vintage performance from us this evening ( married to a good few unenforceable errors by Pico) led by Burke who was unplayable and Greene who chipped in with two goals and shows why( again) he’s still such an asset…. Could have easily of been 6-0 … Sligo had one chance late on from a poor back pass by Cleary who was saved by a brilliant recovery tackle by Pico ; aside from that they were very poor with McGinty and luck saving them from a hiding
Three points off 2nd... the march is on.
We were absolutely atrocious tonight. In truth we have been in a lot of matches this year but we got decent results. We're relying on success coming up with a bit of magic or a mistake by defenders. We create very very little apart from that and have absolutely no guile in our play. Somehow still second though!
higgins is on borrowed time in derry
5th year in a row the league has been terrible - not yet a candidate for the worst standard ever!
Underwhelming and a step backwards. Would be fun to see how he works with Gartland as head of recruitment, O'Donnell as assistant.
What is Higgins doing though? That squad would be almost fine without coaching and just let them play whats in front of them without over coaching and restrictive tactics. United Park may be an exception with the small narrow pitch its about winning 2nd ball in a crowded midfield.
Kerry should of won that. Chambers in the Treaty goal made great saves. Ronan Teahan hit the crossbar for Kerry when he should of scored. Treaty also hit the woodwork in the first few minutes. More points on the board for Kerry so happy enough with the outcome.
Poor aul game up in oriel, both sides weren’t helped by the wind rain and pitch. Dundalk seemed to have picked the tools back up again and put in some hard work now that the serpent has been shown the door but they lack any quality in attack. Shelvey got them a point with a great save in both halves, particularly the second have save from Melia's 1 on 1. Mulraney hit the post in injury time also

Moment of the night in Oriel was the club PA sticking the boot into O'Donnell with the song choice! Probably the only time I’ve ever enjoyed anything that gets blared from that eardrum bursting speaker facing the away end

Bohs are so Jekyll and Hyde. You never know what you will get: You can see Rennie’s style in the side already. Bit more direct, lot more bite and we press well. It ain’t always pretty but it can be effective. Need to do back to back performances with a win against Dundalk on Monday.
I agree on the Jekyll and Hyde comments and I think that's down to fitness. Look at the first half vs Rovers compared to the 2nd half. Bohs just completely ran out of steam. I think the plan is to focus on getting them up to speed on fitness as well as tactics because the players are certainly putting in a fair shift in Reynolds first few games and long may it continue.
On the game tonight I think Bohs were well drilled and tried to make Shels push the ball back to Kearns as much as possible since his distribution can be a touch erratic. They also used the keeper injury/motivational chat tactic that has become common very well. Each time they regrouped and got back on the front foot. Lastly ref was terrible all game. Bohs players were getting yellows for every infraction while he wouldn't give blatant fouls to Bohs. I'll have to watch it back but from where I was standing Rooney Clearly won the ball and it was never a peno.
Mickey Duffy never misses the chance for some mischief.Moment of the night in Oriel was the club PA sticking the boot into O'Donnell with the song choice! Probably the only time I’ve ever enjoyed anything that gets blared from that eardrum bursting speaker facing the away end

The ear busting PA is brian injury loud in the confines of the shed....
Very entertaining ame in Limerick. Treaty probably had the better of the chances in the first half, but Kerry carved us open a few times in the second half and we needed Chambers to make some excellent saves. Kerry have come on so much from last season (albeit we've regressed as well I think).
Waterford-Galway describes this word for word also.
