Pats v Shams off due to waterlogged pitch
We're missing nine away to Harps.
I think we'll set up to draw but Harps will score first. Then they'll sit back we'll throw everything at them an Harps will kill the game by scoring a second via a counter attack.
We are missing 9 for trip to Derry as well - a Harps/Derry double could be the bet of the weekend

TBWRA.
Sweet jesus...that was a crap game. Waterford didn't deserve to lose. But there was an absolutely world class strike from Mickey Funston for Harps first. No goalkeeper in world football would have saved that one, unbelievable.
Dirty big toe swerver?Quote:

Weak in all areas of the field. Galway controlled the game, looked far more threatening.
We're just dreadful to watch at present. It's pathetic.
Says it all when the biggest cheer of the night was when Elding pulled off a save (after Doherty and Patton both went off injured).
Poor crowd again, barely a couple of hundred remained for the final whistle. Boos all round at the end.
Pizza needs to get this sorted asap.
Sounds like tonight might have been the worst night in LOI history.
Sligo are fupping horrible, and we nearly gave them three points due to our horribleness. They are seriously a terrible football side. We won tonight and I was very close to booing the team off they were that bad

Mickey Funstons goal last night
Cracking goal, looked a decent crowd too?
Half the crowd weren't in at that stageQuote:

At the back they looked pretty slow, midfield there wasn't much control and up front Morrison and Elding were useless. Elding going in goal was one of the highlights of all my years following League of Ireland (over 25 of them!) - I hope the Soccer Republic do it justice!
Derry's game against Sligo in 2 weeks is absolute massive in terms of what way both clubs' seasons will go - I think the losing manager could well be gone after.
Finally, obviously best wishes to Mark Farren. Some things are more important than football and all Galway United fans wish him the best.
On a side note, there was over €2,000 raised for Mark Farren fund in a bucket collection in Finn Park last night. Considering the crowd was around 800, that's an excellent amount raised.
Harps two other goals against Waterford.
Heary could well be gone after we don't beat Drogheda next week.Quote:

Dundalk are a different class altogether. Horgan is a great player, slack marking on him leading up to the goal but he took it well. I thought we dealt very well with the threat of Towell but unfortunately for us Dundalk have more than one match winner in their squad. When you see the likes of O'Donnell and Mountney not getting a start you know you're in for a tough night!
Great selection of crisps.Quote:

Longford are very well organised and made it hard for us, restricted our passing game to along the back and limited this in the MF area. This was one of Towell's quieter games, but I think he got a knock at the end of the Bray match last Monday.
Horgan and Shields were our best performers, still think Finn can do a lot better at times, and surely O'Donnell can't be far off starting soon. Mountney was very lively when he came on and took his goal well. It was also good to have a look at Paddy Barrett in defence to for the last 20.
That's a nice set up Longford have over there, really nice ground, delighted with the 3 points, but they'll be tough to beat there this season.
Decent away following, not sure on the figures, possibly 400? But also noticed a good few DLK fans scattered in the main stand also.
That 16 for Longford was the best player on the pitch tonight, mugged Towell and Shields a few times
Ben Mohamed that was at UCD? Seriously?Quote:

I thought he played ok, was knocked off the ball too easily though. In the second half Dundalk had 2 and sometimes 3 players tackling him when he got the ball. He probably was Longfords best player but I didn't think he was the best player on show last night. Each to their own I suppose!
If a little narrow!Quote:

Longford are clearly a hard working if limited team, while Dundalk did enough to win, without really getting into their more normal stride.
Chris Shields was again the standout player on the pitch. Ben Mohamed has good close control all right, but had little real impact on the game
I'd have to agree with you there. At 2-0 it was all good and we weren't playing too bad. But to let Sligo, a team who on the night were playing like their league position suggests for the most part, back in and even get to a position where they might've won the game is just criminal. We lack that killer instinct to put the game beyond doubt, maybe the previous 2 results had dented confidence but still it was inexcusable. Will be looking for better tomorrow nightQuote:

Shortened by four yards for the game, is that correct?Quote:

Is that in the match or the performance of Holiday Song?Quote:
