anyone else bang their head on their fall downward last Saturday night?


I know one game doesn't make us a bad team but given an early chance to put distance between us and the drop the team bottled this oppertunity and that of a decent league finish, that and to buck a recent trend which tends to see FAI cup winners suffer in the league....:mad:

It will also be worrying to Longford that they appear to have lost their way, in the league at least, in the latter half of the season. The midlanders have low lost five of their last six games at home in the league, and, on 35 points, are just two points above Drogheda. They have at least two games in hand on all the relegation principals, but Alan Matthews will be keen to convert them into points sooner rather than later so that the fate of recent FAI Cup winners does not befall them - Dundalk, the early 2002 champions, are now in the lower regions of the First Division while last season’s champions Derry City look certainties for a relegation play-off place at least this time around.

Thought we played alright first half, and if all their men had been sent off that should've been we would of been okay (before the Dwogs start I think Dillon should've gone for retaliation as well as the fella that made the tackle). Hancock was again pathetic and had no control over the game.

(btw anyone remember the last time we won when he was in charge. Last one I remember was Harps in their relegation season when we beat them 4-2 (I think) and even then he tried)

In many ways it mirrored the last time we played at home, and confirms we must get it on the deck and play football. Everytime we did, we carved them open (we did after all hit the bar twice).

If Derry are certainties for the relegation playoff at least, and UCD are below them, why is it a worry according to that reporter?

It is a worry at the moment if we don't pick up points in both this weeks games, but that report doesn't make sense....

thats alot of postive spin to put on an inept performance... It's certainly not as dire as that piece would put it but it's worrying, you still have to wonder that if Drogs, Derry and UCD were'nt as **** poor as they have been where would we be?

[Macy]

Basically we have to start playing football again - Drogs would'nt have been able to live with us (as up in their place)... The problem is consistency.....

My biggest worry is how reliant we are on Kirby - only notice it when he's not there.....

[max power]

would barrett be a good man to play on the right when kirby is not around, with his pace and ball skills i think he would be ideal

macy i do believe that once upon a time you said on this very forum that kirby wasnt all that great of a footballer, well im oh so glad that you've come to realise just how good and invalueble to this club he is and have now eaten your words!!!!!

[Macy]

Find where I said that and I'll believe you, all the threads are still there..... :)

ok sorry macy, took me age to find it but when i did and looked at it carefully i realised it was written on 5/11 but it was in 2001 so tis a bit dated to say the least, so suppose im kinda eatin my words, although when asked what your opinion was on him you did say that you werent all that impressed by him. hope that view has changed by now though???!!!??!!

[Macy]

Jesus, didn't think you'd look it up, but it's a pleasure to waste your time :) ...... His first few months he didn't impress me that much, and only turned it on for the big games, came good though (maybe wrong, but came good around the time spock left thinking about it now)

the "time spock"? sor ul ave to explain dat one for me now
