Must Win

[outspoken]

There's so much negativity around the style of play and commitment of players from those that do go, it's hardly going to encourage others to get out, if all they're hearing and reading is how crap we're playing!

And I didn't think we brought a great crowd to Dundalk for the semi, so it's not like the bandwagon was rolling then either.

I stood down the front at the Dundalk game coz the view from the away end was crap and I can safely say there was about 200 of us and while that might not seem a huge number for a semi final it probably is when you take into account our home games (excluding away support) are usually in or around 500 so it was almost half of the fan base in Dundalk.

with Drogheda drawin in Turners Cross it may give us a bit of hope. I meant to say in my previous post what a great job Burko and Fitzy did in stirring the support last nite. this may be the turning point in Section O. Great to see a few of the oldies return and a few newbies!

I am just afraid that with the game against Derry flares will go off again! thats the problem when you are one of the elder statesmen and people will come out of the woodwork and we get the brunt again. There has to be a way of tellin the younger lads not to bring flares to games as the club gets into trouble! That is the only negative thing comin out of Section O these days but its a hell of a lot better than a few weeks ago! lets keep the good work goin and get across the line safely!

Cheers for that Marty, the Facebook event was something I meant to do earlier in the year but never got round to, it at least seemed to create a bit of a buzz this time round and brought a few new faces over as you said so let's keep that going until the end of the season and push the lads over the line as the 12th man

Can we get more than 9 on Friday is the next question

8 on the bus already and a few driving so hopefully yes. Question is can a 12th man be a 12th man if there's isn't even 12 people?

Interesting starting 11

Yee ha if we dont lose to drogheda we are SAFE

[Darklordsbane]

Sorry so excited I forgot Slgo and Limerick have a game in hand hope it doesn't come back to haunt me

[Longfordian]

Well we should be safe with a draw anyway but we wouldn't be mathematically safe unless other results went our way I think. Still we have the points on the board now and the others have work to do to catch us. Some of them are playing each other too.

Wot a performance and character from the lads. it was our first ever win in the league in turners cross and our first win over them since the FAI Cup win nine years ago. All of our goals were tap-ins the likes of what I have not seen this season.

Sullys was from about 8 yards out and off under the inside of the bar, rice was well worked move resulting in a tap in and Kev's was a deflected drive from outside the box Marty.

what I meant to say that they all came from low crosses across the penalty box!

TC was on radio earlier again talking about Davy adjusting to the Premier and how he's just now finding his feet. He has a point that Davy has come a long way in a few years but even if he isn't scoring he's a threat with his pace. Simple fact is we play better when he's in the team from the start.

Another stat about the win on Friday night, it is first time since July 2003 that Longford won a Premier Division AWAY match when conceding at least 2 goals. Its only happened 4 times in 59 matches! Between both Divisions, Longford have won 11 AWAY matches from 188 when conceding at least 2 goals.

I've been saying that all season sure
