Gota text about 5 minutes ago to say Connor has been told to take Mickey Collins off :D

rIt's probably similar to the Longford line-up. This could end up 3-0 or 4-0 if it is considering Dundalk have most of the 1st team out(Mansaram, Singh, Turner, Heary etc.)

Might see a goal or 2 for us if players like Morrison and Parkhouse come on (Thats if there not already on) wonder if Xano is in the team tonight :).

Cash off injured lets hope its not serious, jeez they could be asking people to bring their boots for the Harps game if our injuries keep continuing at this rate. :)

Collins is the guy who played for Newry in NI?

Connor signed him?:eek:

after 10 minutes collins tackled doherty very late. he then tried to pull doherty up of the ground. ref went over to connor and told him to take collins off or he would have to send him off.
five minutes later when the game was starting to get out of hand he booked morrison for what i saw as a fifty fifty challenge.
Dundalk were the better team overall and deserved their win. they got a few injuries and the two strikers went off injured.
great finish by daly after about 5 mins.

Did we have our strongest team out or was it mainly the players who started against Longford ? Did Keane,Morrison,Parkhouse,Holmes,Kelly and Xano all play at some point ?

That collins guy is nuts.
All the dundalk players were psyched up from the start,
even at the end their no.8 punched the air when deering blew up(the whistle that is, not himself)
Some very heavy challanges.
Thought Turner scored the goal

not a great performance from us, but its early days.

Small crowd, but nobody knew kick off time,poorly advertised we'd seriously need to up the marketing of games.

God I hate pre season 'friendlies'

Even that name confuses me. Is it pronounced Zano or ex-ano?

I hate this guy now.

Fo shizzle? Cause it was number 7, Mr Daly who took the shot. Unless it took some sort of magic ricochet traveling through the space time continuim.;) :p

Oh god son. There never was any Xano. It was all a wind up. Some people get very attatached don't they?

Anyway I'm glad i didn't travel up for the game. Pity about the poor crowd could have done with a bit of dosh. After such a poor turnout i'd say some of the people in the club are a tad bit worried with it, considering we will need big attendances to match our budget.

Thank you very much!

Don't wink at me. It was the number seven who scored, his name is Chris Turner.

No. 7 scored - Turner

This maybe confused some people.

So the ref had to tell the manager to take someone off!! did he forget his cards???

Was there anyone else carded/taken off for fouling in this game? or was it the ref playing Manager?

This is a common enough occurence, where the ref tells a manager to take someone off, as cards in friendlies carry over to the league. The ref in this case done dundalk a favour of sorts. A Rovers player was shown a yellow card, but i would presume that this will not be in the referees report, whereas a red would have to be reported.

Ye were steady at the back and held a good line. Your inter linking play was mainly 60 yard punts by your centre halves or full backs.

Aye thought that with Heary and Burns in central defense, they have no pace, and Rogers doesnt seem to be able to bomb down the wing too much. How did Sean Kelly paly, the right back, and what kind of reception did all the ex Sligo contingent get? Anyone egg Sean Connor?:p

Fairly low key friendly, around 400 at the most. Turner did well anytime he got to run with the ball which wasnt often because of the long ball game.
