Just waiting for dundalks 90th minute winner, it's inevitable

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

What a result with 10 men. Referee made a disgraceful decision in sending off Salmon. Hunty was unbelievable in goals. Lost count of how many world class saves he made in the last 15 mins. Hopefully this is a corner turned.
It's great that dundalk dropped points, but the way I'm looking at it is that they just moved 7 points clear. We have the opportunity to make that 4 tomorrow and we badly need to do that
Thanks to roddy for leaving a clearly injured keeper on when just 1-0 down after 20 minutes.
Looking like us and Wexford for the title now. Harps' form seems to be collapsing. We play Wexford twice in a week next month
Robbie Gaul suffered a horror injury tonight. Ankle snapped. Could hear it from the stand. Nasty one
Athlone Town AFC 1887-2017
Derry way too strong physically for the Galway players tonight, before taking footballing ability into consideration. Squad not big enough anyway, so it a bit unfair on some of the lads who had a bit of a nightmare.
Penalty decision looked a bad decision from my view.
Hammer blow for Harps in Wexford tonight,its between UCD and Wexford for the league now,and ourselves and Shelbourne for the last play-off spot,massive game between us next week!
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Frustrating night for Dundalk, but you just get those games at times, could have should have etc scored 2 or 3. We just never looked settled apart from a ten minute spell in the second half, too many times moves broke down, poor passing and bad movement, still it's 7 points clear, and Cork need to win tomorrow to take advantage of it.
As for the sending off, wrong card, McMillan was not the last man through and didn't even have the ball fully under control, that was a very poor decision.
Possibly the best GK display I've seen in oriel park in a LOI game in 2 years by Longford's man.
#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).
Dundalk are finished. 8th league win in a row for Pats tonight. May as well give us the title now
That was tough to watch in Wexford last night. Two lucky breaks decided it really. A long hopeful ball misjudged by Gallagher and Furlong taps in, and he gets a free header with our defence nowhere to be seen for the second. Graham Doyle made three or four very good saves and we missed a couple of guilt edged chances, all of this in the first half.
Second half we never turned up and it was a walk in the park for Youths. Shane Keegan said after the match that it was nice to finally get some luck from a game against Harps. For all his and Danny Furlongs chat about hoof football and direct football during the week, Wexford were incredibly direct and looked to play the long ball over the top almost every single time for Furlong to run onto, and to be fair, he got joy out of it.
It really does look like UCD and Wexford for the title now. Smart money is on UCD. I'd fear for our chances of even a play off now. Game against Shelbourne next week in Finn Park could go a long way to deciding who takes that third spot.
A big shout out to possibly the most cringeworthy support I've ever seen in the League of Ireland. Wexford fans made a bit of noise, but all around the ground you had people with their heads in their hands at how cringeworthy most of their chants were. It was hilariously bad at times. Biggest crowd I've ever seen at a league match in Wexford too, announced at 715 but certainly looked to be more. Not a big crowd travelled though from Donegal, counted up to about 25 including Harps sponsors McGettigans of which a few of them came down to watch it. Badly hit by Donegal GAA footballers game in Croke Park today.

Don't think Waterford had a sub keeper?
Waterford were strange, actually played some decent football at times, coupled with being totally hopeless at the back for the full 90
We were wondering about that - I think the guy playing was the sub keeper anyway? We decided there was a sub sub keeper on the bench, but completely inexperienced, but even then weren't sure, so you could be right.
The second goal in particular would have been saved by a fit keeper.
Makes next week's encounter a fiestier affair.
Should be neck and neck until Killian brennan gets sent off
Long Live King Kenny
Would you lot consider signing the Rovers keeper for the night?
Please?
The force is strong with us at the moment though.
That said, anything other than a Pats win is curtains for us.
Just looking at extratime.ie there - Waterford did have a sub keeper on the bench (though they only had four subs)
Don't think it matters how inexperienced he is, the guy playing was clearly injured for 75 minutes and I can't understand why no change was made.
Still, not complaining. Up level with Wexford on goal difference now, which can't be a bad thing.
You are only missing a link to a certain song to finish off your post!
Bray 1-0? I won't believe it.
Is that 8 in a row now?
