Dundalk made sure that their escape on Tuesday would not be in vain.
Waterford lost the tie on Tuesday, playing 60 minutes against 10 men with a makeshift centre half pairing and not winning the game comfortably.
They lack a killer instinct, which was obvious again tonight.
I'd love to see Waterford in the Premier. I don't think a seven club (if you can call all of them clubs) division will work.
I'm not going to change my mind on that just because Dundalk have survived.
I never ever said Waterford were the better side.
wasnt basing it on performance or who deserved it(ye played very well last night btw) just would of been good to have waterford up.. not saying i wanted dundalk down or anything cos i want ye in the premier too.. ideally both clubs would be upQuote:

Also agree re next years FD, and also not changing my mind from my view that a single division would have been a better option.
It would have brought teams and areas like Athlone, Donegal & Waterford back to life and given those areas such a boost.
Huge numbers last night were great (biggest FD team gate of the season?), but average was under 500 according to the attendance thread. You worry that, even if Waterford remain in the league, the enthusiasm after last nights game will plummet.

Rather than encouraging their development, the current plans stifle them.

Congrats to Dundalk, deserved the win last night, no complaints. Definitely agree that we lost the tie on Tuesday, not taking an advantage home from that game cost us in the end.
Regarding the chairman's comments about not being in the league next season, people need to realise that he doesn't have that power to pull the club, he doesn't own the club. He can choose to leave the club and step down as chairman if he wishes. But i do agree with him, you'd be mad to put money into a club in a shambles of a seven-team division next season.
Hooray for Dundalk!
They did learn to defend!
Burns was immense, Shields I think it was (??) did a job on Dempsey in the middle, Waterford were one dimensional rubbish, Dundalk much the better side. Surprising lack of heart and fight from the Waterford players too, once it went 2-0 it could have ended 5 or 6.
As for next season the cynic in me says that Dundalk and Bray should still be worried about the visit of the fudge truck during the off season .
Yayyy
Do you all give each other blowjobs too?
"Ah no, I would like to see both clubs up!"
"It's only because its a shorter away trip for me."
"Now I'm not saying I don't like Oriel."
"I want both clubs up"
Christ.
And Longford are shoite too!! as i meant too say.Now all will be fine...Quote:

Do Dundalk fans feel Darius deserved to be in charge next season? He seemed to be liked by the players.
Stephen Kenny wears Louis Copeland too? :cool:Quote:
