Neither ourselves or pats could finish our breakfast, miserable stuff. Three great chances in the last three minutes passed up, new guy fluffed his lines with a gimme first half, pats looked to be hard done by on a dodgy offside but virgins camera angle(singular) who knows??
A lot of folks saying Clarke should have scored, nonsense,!! He couldn't reach itQuote:

Just seen the pats offside goal back, oh dear!!also the red card for the cork lad v shels shocking.
A 6th 0-0 of the season for Pats. The wind didn’t help things for either side but I thought Pats shaded the first 80 mins and were unlucky not to have scored with McClelland hitting the bar, Power scoring a perfectly good goal ruled offside by a Lino 5 yards behind the play playing the guessing game all night, as well as a brilliant clearance off the line from a Leavy chance. Bohs could’ve won it with the couple of chances they had in the last 10 though. Pats just need a goal to go in off someone’s arse at this stage, they look devoid of confidence in and around the opposition’s box
Pats did us a favour but waterford.....Derry are starting to look dangerous.
Two points dropped in the Bowl tonight. Bar the first five minutes of the second half - even we had a man sent off and conceded a goal - we were the better side throughout. But creating chances is still a huge problem for us. Only Athlone have scored less
Great finish by Brennan to earn the draw though, which was the least we deserved. Bit surprised he hasn't been more involved this season
Hopefully Derry can give a proper challenge now for this league. They looked excellent. Two great strikers played in that game with Amond and Boyce. Games are so much better to watch when you have proper strikers on the pitch.
Great Dundalk win. Delighted for Eoin Kenny, has put in some really good performances since the break and deserved a goal. Six teenagers playing tonight, with two on the scoresheet. If Dundalk get promoted, a lot of academy eligible players will be the reason why.
The real winners tonight were the Pat’s fans who stayed at home.
Ironically, a lot of those academy lads will need to pack their bags if the club does get promoted and wants to stay up next year as they’ll go straight back down if there’s more than just a small few of them in the squad. How has Eoin Kenny done overall this season? Goals wise it doesn’t look great but I know that doesn’t always tell the story so would be interested to hear. I was impressed any time I saw him play last season and would’ve thought he’d hit 10-15 goals in the FDQuote:

A pretty poor game in Finn Park. Harps got it tactically wrong playing 5 at the back, and Tony mcnamee up front against a very poor Longford team.
We had pretty much all the possession for 80 minutes, but done nothing with it, and Longford could have won it at the end.
We badly need a striker.
I think 3 draws and our respective positions in the league show we're as poor as each other.Quote:

EDIT: never mind, I see that's answered in the rumours thread.
Absolutely no disagreeing. Said the same thing last night after the game in Finn Park, we're every bit as bad as each other and league position reflects it.Quote:

Described the two teams as limited early in the season, the last couple of meetings have confirmed that.
Personally speaking, I think he can be a hard worker, a lot of a games he's played out wide by Kilduff, he seemed to suffer a bit from confidence during April and May, last night he was very good, but his goal tally is not, this was only his 3rd league goal, Ebbe is on 7 but even he is not scoring lately and is will behind Mikey Rowe (Wex) and Coffey (Cobh) both on 15.Quote:

We were excellent last night, could even have scored more. Diallo's goal was stunning, Mickey Duffy had a goal and four assists.Quote:

Felt sorry for Waterford's keeper, Bradley Wade, on his debut. I don't think there's much he could have done about the goals, bar the second.
On to next week, and it's Sligo away. This time last year, we won four on the bounce, hammering Drogs at home, before going away to Sligo and losing, as we usually do. Followed it up by getting dumped out of ECL by Bruno's Magpies.
If we can get a result next week in Sligo, it would give me a lot more confidence in our side.
I had been fooling myself, clinging to a misguided belief that Galway Utd were good enough to finish in the top four and maybe qualify for Europe, but now that dream is over. What's another year?
Nash himself has confirmed Lyons said something to the referee that resulted in the straight red, it was impossible to tell what exactly happened from the stands or during the 14 seconds of the LOITV replay of the tackle but during that time Lyons went from injured on the ground to then walking away from Harvey who was still holding the yellow in his left hand to then pulling out the red with his right handQuote:
