That's harsh. They were hardly muck. Drogheda don't have the personnel to play an expansive game. It is what it is.Quote:

I didnt say that they werent one dimensional. But they showed enough to suggest that they have and are improving. They can be difficult for anyone especially at United Park. The result wasnt a forgone concluson and it took a piece of luck to grab the winner. Their long ball tactic was effective enough and kept Gartland and Boyle busy.Quote:

Losing 4-1 at home to Cobh is a god awful result it has to be said. In all honesty I thought AM would have ye back up near the top after a while but there's something badly wrong there by the looks of things. You say the players aren't playing but there's a fair few lads that have played with ye for a couple of years now isn't there, why have they downed tools now?
Only 3 members of the 2013 squad are still with us, and two of them have been injured for half the season - Gorman & Collins.
Delighted with that win tonight and enjoyed setanta coverage, thought it was a lot better than what rte have to offer. Drogs will be disappointed with the result and they put in a decent shift, but we definitely deserved to win the match.
If we had a clinical striker we would almost be the complete side at this level.
Fair enough didn't realise there'd been such a turnover. Assumed ye had 7 or 8 of that squad left anyway.Quote:

The folk in Athlone rate Paddy Dunican, but I don't think he'd stop a 46A at a bus stop.
He's big but has no bottle for crosses and high balls.
I could be wrong, I was once before, May 25th 1971
He has been excellent since he came into the team. Hasnt made a single mistake. He wasnt to blame tonight. Not in the slightest. If not for him it would of been more.
Ha.you writing for the 42.com these days Nesta? they go with the headline "Cruel for Drogheda as Champions snatch late victory in Louth Derby" Not cruel at all imo,Dundalk 100% deserved that win and the cruelest part would have been a draw.Sclinngerman was mom and that sums it up for me.Quote:

We deserved to win. But Drogheda worked hard and were dogged. If similar happens in Belarus where Rogers keeps us in the game and we conceded to a deflected free in the 90th minute we would be cursing our luck and calling it cruel, even if over the 90min we were second best.
Justice done in the end last night,nobody can deny that the Drogs but up a gallant attempt in their quest to keep the run going but a blind man could see that we were thoroughly deserving of the win in the end.Hopefully that ends the curse of United park for us.Schlingerman was brilliant all night and Lee Duffys pace had our centre halfs worried all game,but I felt we were pretty much in control from the first minute,and bar a combination of great goalkeeping and poor finishing the game would have been long out of Drogs grasp.Still a very enjoyable game and no sweeter way to win it.Must have been a bitter pill to swallow for fans of Cork.
More bitter for the team. You can see that they are becoming divided and turning their frustration on each other.Quote:

Kinda depressing that it's such a relegation six-pointer!
Was Conor O Donnell actually a goalkeeper with ye or what?Quote:
