YEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is all.

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
A great bunch of lads.
Just seen Horgan's first goal on the news now. What an absolutely disgraceful finish. That's three worldies in little over a month for him.
all I can say is that you're welcome St Pats Fans. cant wait till we overtake you![]()
Long Live King Kenny
I have to say I'm surprised to see Dundalk do so well. I always rated Kenny as a manager but this is a step above. If he's challenging for the title by the end of the year it'll probably be his greatest achievement.
In comparison to the Shamrock Rovers, Sligo, St Pats and Derry the budget that Stephen Kenny is working with is extremely modest, and it probably ranks either 7th or 8th overall.
To have Dundalk sitting 4th and within striking distance of the 3 clubs currently higher in the league table is nothing short of astounding considering this is his first season in charge and he has started from scratch.
Because of the modest squad size, injuries and suspensions may be a significant factor in whether Dundalk can maintain a challenge or not. Based on the fixtures for the remaining matches in series 2, Kenny may well be putting even more pressure on the top of table over the next 3 weeeks

Any chances we could get this thread, and others, back to a semblance of debate rather than just random bickering?
Dundalk value for their win in the Brandywell tonight, sickener when it comes so late though.
Dundalk fans are surprised as well.
Kenny has instilled a sense of composure and quiet confidence in the group. Dundalk went to Derry without Rossiter, O'Donnell, Ward, and Mountney. He brought in lads who have hardly played at all this season. Kenny nailed the game tactically, neutered every area Derry have excelled at. He reduced Derry to hoofing long balls to Patterson. At home.
I don't know what went on at Rovers last season. Kenny is the standout manager this season, so far.
Yeah some amazing goals by him recently. Great 2nd half performance from us last night, thats the kind of performance we are looking for and hopefully we can build on it now. First half wasnt that great but for all sligo's possession they never really looked like scoring. Thought kilduff was very good held up the ball well and great at taking the ball out of the air. Did well to get ahead of the keeper for the goal and hopefully he can get a few more. Few chants of "sign him up" but rovers wont be letting him go.
Poor crowd there last night too on a great night for football.
'hon da town....we are flying this season. great win last night in derry.
