Up there with the great nights........!
That was the best value for money in years. What a night!!!!!
Vs. Shels a few years ago (4-4).....because we won.
Vs. Rovers last season (3-2).....because we won at the death.
Vs. Rovers (1-0) League Cup final......because we were up against the Champions......and make no mistake they are a really good side.
We won because.......!
1. We wanted the game more than Bohs. I was watching the lads in the huddle before the game - they were really pumped up.
2. George.......he was class. His touch was sublime and he drove the Dubs mad.
3. JO'F. His work rate was unbelievable. Although Crowe's goal was good JO'F's was an equally good striker's goal and he really did brilliantly to set up the first one.
4. Devine's penalty save.......poor spot kick but he still needed to do the business and overall was solid. Could not be blamed for the 2 goals against us.
5. The Cross was intimidating tonight. It was like the good old days. I was in the Main Stand and it was good to see the whole place singing as one at the end. The place looked great with all the flags, colour and noise.
6. Greg, Dan, O'Grady - really gutsy performances.
7. Doyler is settling in and had a really good game.
8. Pat Dolan.......he is putting St. Pat's behind him now and the standing ovation he got from the entire place at the end must have been brilliant for one so dedicated and pasionate for the game. This Team is really doing all the right things to bond with the fans also ( definately Dolan's influence ).
Nice touch after both games at home so far to acknowledge the fans - and how long has it been since the place was still so full 10-15mins after the game was over. It was like we had won the League.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
