Sounds like you have already lowered your expectations - no title challenge in 2017?Quote:

Obviously based on last night we will beat dundalk handy enough in the third game in oriel.
So I just hope derry are competitive.
It would be bad for the league if we pulled away as early as we did last year.

A local kid was attacked on his way to Oriel Park by a group of Shamrock Rovers fans last night. Gardai are looking for information.
Does 2nd place not guaranteed Europe?Quote:

Very good start by Dundalk, and obviously delighted with the result. With 3 key players out, not to mention the 3 who left it was going to be a tough ask with plenty to prove. It was encouraging to see the team work hard as a unit, and get over the line. I will say though that it was a very tough challenge from Rovers, and not many teams will work us so hard and right up to the 94th min at home.
A local scumbag went looking for a fight and got hurt, boo hoo, no sympathy for him , they're all gob****es.Quote:

P.S. It is a pity you feel the need for the "mental capacity" type jibes - you seem to have developed this 'chip on your shoulder' style which maybe mirrors the approach Rovers took on to the pitch on Friday!
No better man to be able to spot oneQuote:

Don't know how much closer we will be this season but I have to think a good bit. How close will depend on how quickly they gell together. Corry will help as well as a fully fit Finn. At least we have hope.....can't wait for bohs next week .it's great to be back :) I've even splashed out on a seat in the 1899 suite to taste th e prawn Sangers
