Yeah, I’d agree with that. Thought we deserved it, but maybe flattered a bit by 3-0. Bohs probably the better side for long periods in the second half, but without ever threatening too much. Great work from Git with a goal and then creating the third. We’ll be more solid with Jamie Lennon back in the midfield. Need Jake Mulraney to rediscover his form from the end of last season too.Quote:

From what I understand it will be harder for dodgy boxes to pick up games this season now that Premier Sports are running it. I know they are still widely available but I know lots of others saying they can't get the games which is great. People should be supporting the service and their clubs, this isn't sky sports and the premier LeagueQuote:

At least we've been competitiveQuote:

Really poor quality game with both sides giving it away pretty often. Forrester a joy to watch as always, I thought Sjöberg was excellent too in his defensive work. Pretty bizarre team selection by Reynolds shoehorning 6 natural centre mids into the team, particularly when there were players on the bench left out of their natural position in favour of that. A sign of bad/imbalanced squad building. Had to laugh at Mousset waddling around up top when he came on, couldn’t believe the size of him in person
I pay my subscription but generally watch it on my dodgy box as it’s obviously hooked up to my TV by default. Not sure why it would be harder this season as all the games have been fine for me. Like Prem Sports itself is always fine.Quote:

Chorazka is the better keeper at Bohs for me and I'm not sure what's happened to warrant him being dropped.Quote:

I've been thinking about that bohs ****show/ Forrester masterclass. That second goal for pats showed the difference. Forrester ran direct at pace and crucially had an option running outside him - McClelland? who was foing at speed into space. Too often Clarke/Devoy ran with the ball, then checked, surveyed options, then played it to a winger who was covered or laid it back to the FB, who lumped it in to annangs arms/Redmond's head.
Turgid, passive stuff. Only person doing anything was Parsons.
Reynolds and O Donnell would do well to compare and contrast. Seems obvious to say, but I've no confidence that they're doing this.
Apart from the obvious, if there was a real naivety with O'Donnell's decisions at Dundalk it was trying to play in a certain way when we didnt have players that could execute a plan or system. The (short lived) upturn in results under interm coaching team last season was setting up with a bit more pragmatism. I didnt see the St Pats v Bohs game but what Bohs fans are describing sounds similar, all the will to play a particular way but either players arent up to it or dont have the confidence to execute, checking back, slowing play ALL the time etc. I know O'Donnell isnt manager and you'd expect Reynolds to be more pragmatic but maybe he thinks his squad is better than it is, and when you have the larger share of possession this can happen but is it because you are being let rather than just needing things to click in the final third?
St Pats have a player in Forester that can pull the strings, when he is on form there isnt a better player in the league by a long way (sorry Glass Jack). It is a worry if he is out as SK doesnt really play to the strength of who is available either though when there is generally talent mixed throughout a squad it doesnt hurt so much. Even Pep has played 442 these days and had players ping long balls when trying to get his side over a hump, and some managers here are too rigid in how they want things done which is behind he curve. It does mean that Caulfield by being behind the curve for years was actually miles ahead of the curve!
Yeah, he looked well overweight. Carrying a lot of timber, as the saying goes.Quote:

Expecting absolutely nothing from us tonight. Horrible record in Sligo, and we can't seem to keep a clean sheet.
Holt and Hoban out, not helping matters.
Quite a good crowd down from Derry, mind.
Big save from Maher in a 1v1 with Mallon in the last 5 mins to help Derry to the win
One of the worst games of football I’ve ever been at
One of the best I've been at in Longford tonightQuote:

Great to see initiatives from both clubs - Kerry with a free supporters bus (circa 50 Kerry fans travelled) and Longford giving free schoolboy / schoolgirl tickets resulting in a very healthy crowd of over 800. Very progressive thinking from both clubs and good to see.
Saw the Kerry FC team bus at the Longford Arms yesterday whiie the team was inside. Had the club branding on it, it looked very professional. Cracking entertainment, good to get the first win on the board.
From a Kerry point of view obviously a disappointing result. The recurring issue of failing to build any positive momentum. Cobh, Treaty and Wexford will probably make the playoffs. The final playoff spot might be the one that a few clubs can challenge for.
