Appropriate in a way that as soon as they got to second place in the league, they choked. Typical of everyone this season.Quote:

Treaty full value for a result away to Cork City.
Must get the window-lickers to call for the manager's head more often.
Bohs to me look more like a SOD team rather than a Reynolds one in terms of how they set up and play. And in certain passages it can look good but they're blunt up front and are quite individually weak (or inexperienced, at least) in defence which isn't the greatest mix for actually producing results.
Derry and their 40 team talks a game remain funny to me. You'd think they'd be able to put together a lot more coherent performances than they apparently have this season given all of the additional coaching Higgins fits in every game.

Terrible result for Galway last night in their bid to cause as upset. Pat's now have a game in hand to go above Galway on goal difference in the race for Europe. Pat's on their current form could still make the Top 3.
Very small chance of 5 teams on 50 points on Monday week
That was brutally deflating last night. One could see from about 30m to go that Dundalk were starting to grow into the game, and we let them. A poor, huff and puff performance against a team that are certain to go down. We should have won 3-0 but we can hardly score 1. There were 3 or 4 wild shots nearly blasted out onto the Dyke Rd by the same player when all that was needed was to recycle possession in an attacking position. Dreadfully wasteful. Expectations need to be tempered for sure, and look where we are despite just being promoted, but last night was caveman football by us for long stretches and it gave Dundalk just enough of a window to sneak a draw. The boos at the end were evidence of a game that was just thrown away with complete abandon.

I was amazed Dundalk got a result, but full credit to the team who kept on going, and given the awful week and most of Sept, it was great to wake up at last on Sat am without having a defeat to think about, going out to my under age football.Quote:

Not all bad news for Galway, with Derry's win last night they'll def be favs for the cup, that opens back up 4th spot for euro if they win, then it will be the team finishing 5th missing out.
hence the booin at final whistle.Quote:

Longford are back up to 9th after an equaliser in the final 10 minutes against Athlone. Athlone stay third. Athlone are home to Cork next and Longford welcome Cobh.
The heir apparent is SOD an honest trustworthy sort.Quote:

Young Kenny seems like he's a player and wouldn't be surprised if a top 3 team takes him from op.
Both have always had exactly the same chance.Quote:
