To be fair both defenses were dreadful 😁 worst standard of play I’ve seen in the premier division this season.Quote:

Eminently forgettable match - Sunday league stuff all around.
I’m not sure how we contrived to miss all of our chances in Tolka tonight. On top for 70 minutes of the game and well on top for most of the second half but if we can’t finish clear cut chances we’re not going to get the results that the performances merit. I was decidedly unimpressed with Shels for the money they’ve spent, bar a bright opening. Big game on Monday for us now.
Not sure RH, we thought it was 10 for the first one tonight, then again not even sure why the second one was given.Quote:

Fair play to Hoban for giving -up his pen to him to get the hat-trick
The only surprise about tonight's match was that we weren't ahead by more than 1 goal at h/t :( We played well & created some great chances.Sligo were stout in resistance that half and created some good chances of their own
then.. PENALY DUNDALK - and it was.
Dundalk laboured at times especcially at the start of the 2nd half but Sligo hadnt the manpower to take advantage and after Hoban scored our 1Million th pen of the saeason Dundalk took full control
Shoutout to Hoban for letting Mountney get his hat trick.
Psychological edge now with Dundalk.
We're top of the league without hardly any impressive performances, manager and team still look like they're trying to figure it out but aside from the galacticos like Kilduff, Ryan Brennan, Conan Byrne, the rest of our squad is first division standard fodder. We were missing our first 3 choice centre-halfs, our first choice right-back, I thought we did very last night considering our sticking-plaster back-line who includes an inexperienced 2nd choice goalkeeper and I don't think Longford were anywhere near as dominant last night as you are making it out to beQuote:

It was given for a foul by Kyle McFadden on Pat Hoban at the penalty boxQuote:

First the player being subbed tried to drag it out and the ref has to go over to him and tell him to stop messing. Then Sheppard kicks the ball away at a throw-in and ref goes over and books him. More than enough justification for 39 secs in that. And it’s hilarious to see the two alleged experts on the RTE panel being adamant that nothing happened in injury time to add anything to the 3 mins. Even Peter Collins, not exactly the Einstein of anchormen, called them out on it.Quote:

Whats the buzz with Brandon Miele, Pats fans? No sign of him lately
Damn right it was a joke. Ruined my fiver treble bet of Dlk / Bohs / Cork !Quote:

So you watched it back.... but were you blinded by the tears of your lost bet?Quote:

- Sheppard kicking the ball away at a throw-in and being booked for timewasting - therefore more time added
- the goal being scored on 94.09 which is 39 seconds after the minimum 3.30 - that 39 secs coming from the two instances of timewasting that the ref correctly allowed for.
It was very late when I watched the match back, and in hindsight that was correct re Sheppard kicking it away, time was going to be added on for that and maybe the subs, fair enough.
Prob fair enough on Pats come to think of it after last weeks injury time loss, Cork at least got a point.
Well it certainly felt that way at the game though looking back on it now we did struggle to create much aside from the two or three clear chances that we missed. I don’t recall Steacy having much to do apart from the save from the rebound off the post early on.Quote:
