O'Flynn, Behan.
We're back! Beware!
Number three for City but disallowed !!
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Ciaran Martyn is king! Brilliant to see us getting goals from players in three different positions. I'm glad we have these two games in hand as it keeps us out of the spotlight for a few weeks whilst still getting some fantastic results.

If i was a betting man, Derry would be the bet.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

Good to have Drogs sitting on top getting all the attention. Far too early to read anything into the title. Pats doing very well to establish themselves in the top 5 but would hard to think they could keep going for rest of the season.
Derry simply sublime in the second half tonight.
Two cleared off the line, hit the post and O'Connor made a string of outstanding saves..............
Champagne football and Hutton's goal is an absolute screamer.
Ye all said that about Derry last year....
Byrne and O'Neill at Shels have 8 between them. According to irishfootballonline yer lads have 7.pats have the in form strike partnership at the moment .....fact
Good point dancinpants.Ye all said that about Derry last year....
Was saying it about Derry myself last year, 32 games into the season.

This time last year Pats fans were saying they would achieve nothing with McDonnell is charge. What has changed and has the good performances led to a change in opinion regarding the manager?

Not entirely true Speranza - some Pats fans wanted his head on a pointy stick outside Richmond, others figured there wasn't a better alternative available.
In fairness to him, his close-season signings have made a huge difference to us and you have to give him credit for those. We had a very young team last year (Ozo retiring at the end of 2004 knocked about 7 years off the average age!) - so he's brought in Molloy, Keegan and Rutherford to add experience. The best acquisition of the lot has been Dave Mulcahy, who I don't even remember impressing any time we played Waterford - he's added some real steel to our midfield.
Just on Derry's games in hand, am I right in thinking they're against Shels and Drogheda?
Revenge for 2002
That is correct. Means Derry not played anyone in the top 5 yet.
If Derry City can win their home games against the top teams will do well as often let down by away form.
Cork City have 100% home record but terrible away record this year. O'Flynn is averaging a goal every 90 odd minutes but can't stay fit so giving ye all a chance.
Correct
The arranged game against the axis of evil is on 6/6/06
And people think the FAI don't have a sense of humour
Hmmm...well I have to say I thought Drogheda would offer more. Shels have not been on fire so far this season, unfortunately not carrying on from a strong end of season, however saying that we have not lost and we are starting to stumble into a run of wins, and once you get the confidence up, its almost like an extra man on the pitch. Big tests are coming in the form of Cork and Derry. Axis of Evil, now now
On a personal note, I said in the programme five games ago, we should definately play O'Neill and the next week we did, and have since and he has proven a super player. He has a passion in his play that seems lacking in Jason at the moment. On a Shels note, Stuart Byrne has been excellent recently and in the last game and a half, Alan Moore has started to show form, and in early season, Shels lacked central midfield presence. Now we just need to sort out the defense and we could be a good side (once we keep it down and play footie, rather than the long ball approach!!)
