Attendances 2019

With a bit of luck we will climb away from the dangerzone. But seriously at 1 down the panic buttons were being pushed whereas before this it was 'look at how last season started'. I think enough football has been played to get a taster for the rest of the season. UCD need to adjust quickly and get points on the board and will do imo Sligo and Harps will get results regularly so there wont be someone saving the relegation spot for themselves all season this season. Derry will be flying if they keep getting goals scored for them ;p

That point about the panic button is so true.
Football is so all or nothing it is gas.
If UCD hold on its depression all round and sack the manager but you get the two goals and you are already thinking "beat rovers and we are flying"

In the same way i'm planning to beat you boys friday beat Harps on Monday and we are 7 points clear probably top of the league and the world is a great place.
Alternate view , we lose on Friday again on Monday and its depression all round............................but its 2 games
Its the hope that kills you

[dundalkfc10]

Sack the manager if we lost last night, what nonsense. Vinny will be given plenty of time

[sbgawa]

i did'nt mean in actual fact he would be sacked , i meant that there would be grumbling and moaning along those lines.
but 2 goals and the world is a different place.
This Fridays match is a case in point if we win we will be over the moon and optimistic, planning on going 7 points clear by beating Harps on monday.
if we lose its two losses on the spin and the world is about to end, and i'll probably feel like that myself even though i know its mad.
Even if we lose we will be 2 points behind you after 4 matches with 32 games to go but the outlook and view of the world is ruled by the imediate result....
What i love about this league is how much it matters , perspective is hard to hold onto.

I presume that you are speaking in some figurative sense or from a personal perspective, because I saw little signs of panic, either in the stands or on the pitch.

There was certainly a stunned silence when UCD scored the opener, but Dundalk came out for the second half to a very strong and positive reaction from the crowd. The team also showed composure and determination and created several chances before equalising 8 minutes into the half

Michael Duffy also commented in a post match interview on the lift they got from the crowd

“The fans were brilliant. We needed that. It would have been hard if we came out and they were quiet but they were cheering and singing before we even equalised and once we scored, they were even louder. We need that every week.”Michael Duffy

Making out the League is simply between Dundalk and Shams is a special kind of delusion, even for Tallaght. But then aren’t they the “cup specialists” 😆😆

[sbgawa]

Yawn, you never get tired of repeating yourself, I'm sure you find yourself amusing, I know you do amuse me.
Most commentators on the league would agree with me and maybe include pats or cork. Hence my attention on DFC.

[Dalymountrower]

Anyhoo, for what it's worth, Rovers look to have more about them than last season. A bit more spirit anyway.
League is there for the taking if Dundalk don't sort out who is the ultimate decision maker on footballing issues there..Gill seems to think it's him!

[sbgawa]

With a bounce of a ball DFC could be on 9 points now. Friday is only 3 points and loads of games to go but dfc will hit form and have the resources to strengthen in july if needed. We need to win to try to create a bit of a gap.......and I know I'm contradicting myself here saying that but dfc are a juggernaut and if it's going to go off course it needs to be tipped early.

[sbgawa]

I do agree with you though there is a chance and rovers do have more about them this year...will it be enough........probably not but I live in hope.

Have you seen any of our games? As we have told you all, Perth is in charge, he makes the final decisions on everything

You mistake us for Cork fans there sbgawa but I get what you are saying, Caulfield body language at half time and Caulfield at full time fits with what you are saying.

I was speaking figuratively about last night and a loss would have had people starting to struggle against doubt that even with the playing panel the new coaching setup wasnt getting full value. Not particularly rational that would have been when you consider how the table could look with a bit more ruthlessness - hitting the woodwork 4 times in 3 games, missing a penalty and creating lots of chances, things that usually come good as opposed to issues with not creating many chances at all. It's a long season, the marathon not a sprint cliché especially with either 9 or 12 points still to play for between each side lol

What was the actual crowd in Dalymount Monday night? I was there but didn't hear a figure.

[dundalkfc10]

We have sold the 500 Rovers sent down for Friday.
More on way to us, going back on sale at 4pm today
We should have 700 I’d say

Any chance of attendance been over 5,000?

It was 4,622(new official) against Derry with a smaller away crowd, so I'd say we will breech the 5k mark on Friday. Should be a cracking atmosphere.

I am pretty sure it was 3,600 or thereabouts.
