Gartland still a very important player, but Hoare was without doubt first choice before Boyle arrived back. VP unlike Kenny rotates quite a lot though to ensure the defence (apart from Gannon) all get games, he mentioned that between Massey and Jarvis they have each started something like 16 games already (Jarvis covered in MF for a bit). Most DFC fans I have spoken too would agree this would suit europe more, but all depends on what VP thinks !Quote:

For domestic games when Dundalk are less challenged, there are few better than Gartland at facing the ball, its when he's challenged for speed that would be a concern.
Is Dundalk Cork just postponed indefinitely from this Friday? Thought it would have been rearranged for Sunday like Rovers and Pats games but doesn't seem to have been.
Try www.olweb.tv and have a search for eirsport, or , type that search into google.Quote:

I imagine that there are mixed views about it. How the match goes tonight might influence how fans feel about it and the tone of the reactions.Quote:

I think it probably depends on a fans personal view, I for one would want to be there for my own childs birth so I have no problem with him being there, however if you were of the Roy Keane "He isn't having the baby" mentality you might be upset about it. I'd be tempted to say it's a generational thing, I haven't seen much dissension on social media or from my mates but I have heard a few comments from auld lads in local pubs usually along the Roy Keane lines.
Funny, exactly the same position Collie O'Neill was in when we were heading to Dudelange.Quote:

They've every right to be annoyed - they have no right to tell him they are annoyed.Quote:

Having said that if I missed the birth of any of my kids the missus would literally never speak to me again so its a complex decision for anyone. :) No seriously I wanted to be there.
Roys comment was "is he breastfeeding" as i remember it :)Quote:

It's worth pointing out Roy Was actually talking about after the baby was born. Robbies wife had just had a kid so it's slightly different scenario. I'd say being there for the birth is more important than being there after.Quote:

Unfortunately it would involve putting that round yoke between those white stick type things. A foreign concept this season.Quote:

Dundalk playing well, a bit like rovers lots of good football and passing but little end product. I'd fear for them if Riga score first as they are dealing with any set pieces fairly handy. Dundalk definitely the better side in the first half though. They dont look as incisive or expansive as they were under Kenny in Europe a lot of the forward play down narrow with space left across the other side to exploit. One or two sloppy/missed slide balls too that had they been better could have ended up in goal scoring chances. Still all to play for and enjoyable.
Riga look a really limited side,if Dundalk don't win they'll be very disappointed....
Someone needs to put a sniper on that Riga drummer. They're head-wreckingly loud :D
Same as last week the crosses into the box havent been good enough.
Offside. shame.
Think this game is calling out for the two Kelly's. Lack of pace is hamstringing Dundalk imo
McElheney - great talent but Jesus he'd drive you to drink.
Hope Dundalk go through, but it's nice to see a strong ref in one of their games. Pity Kelly wasn't booked for the same thing against us earlier in the season.
Riga have offered nothing over 180 mins. Back 4 solid but never properly tested. Dundalk will be feeling this is a big missed opportunity if they dont come through.
Oh man that was rubbish, can we just go straight to penos...........
Dundalk havent offered anymore than Riga though. They were on the backfoot for the last 20. Riga working the ball out to the left and cutting in much too easy since the lad Rakels came on.Quote:
