I just noticed something, the UCD Twitter hasn't tweeted a single LOI thing out since Feb 13th. That's so poor.
Saw Dundalk live for first time this season, I way underestimated them. They look much better than some of the sides we've seen finish bottom 2 in previous years. 11 points already. If they get another 11 in another 8 games you can almost say they're safe from 10th anyway
Kerry/Harps was not an enjoyable watch,Harps so flat for the vast majority of it ,a long season awaits if we don’t improve a lot.
Cracking goal from Mark Doyle in Derry, how long is Lynch going to get? Feels like he’s a dead man walking from the outside but maybe I’m wrong…..
Pretty comfortable win for Pats in the RSC.
12 shots on goal. 11 saves from their GK. Tells the full story.
Not sure what Kenny was up to making a triple change with 20 seconds left in injury time. A bit bizarre.
Sligo next up.
Jesus that's woeful. Shouldn't be tolerated by the league either. Should be some sort of minimum communications standards.Quote:

Kerry got over the line anyway but the last 10-15 minutes was a tough watch. There was desperation and panic to get that first league win. The experienced signings have got to bring more composure in those moments. No effort to hold possession and keep possession in Harps half.
Their other results make our 4-0 over them look very good indeed.Quote:

3 of the 4 favourites for the drop (Galway, Sligo, and Dundalk) all seem to have something about them. Things might get very grim very quickly for Waterford if they dont pick up points soon.Quote:

Very fortunate to get the win, Harps hit the woodwork several times and Halwax pulled off 4 or 5 good saves throughout the match. Really deeply frustrating watch as a Harps fan.Quote:

It was some strike. Their second was lovely too.Quote:

I'm done with Lynch now. The line-ups are just bizarre. We'd James McClean playing at centre half. He can't defend, and it cost us two goals last night. We started with no strikers, and even towards the end, we still kept three centre halves, who all stayed back when we had corners. Mental stuff.
There's chat of St Mirren being interested in Lynch, he'd do well to take it.
Yeah should probably have made them earlier given how comfortable the whole game was and the 3 points wrapped up with 20 to go but how good is it that these are the only complaints :DQuote:

Delighted with that last night by Dundalk, we seem to have been the stronger team in the second half in almost every away game now, and that's not bad as it included Derry, Rovers, Galway and Bohs, 4 draws, granted Pats was the exception and we got a spanking there mind.
Was worried last night with so many out injured, and 8 of the starting XI played FD last season (7 with Dundalk), so they put some shift in.
Thought Strods and Mullen - the 2 young lads were very good for Bohs.
Kilduff doing a super job, and has been disappointed in interviews in 4 of those away games post match. Dundalk obv won't finish 4th and not even top 5, but starting to think 6th or 7th could be runner if this keeps up, but very early days, the goal was to consolidate in the PD at first time of asking and no changes to that from most DFC fans i speak to. We should be well clear of relegation worries, but again, long way to go.
Harps definitely can feel unlucky last night - had enough chances in the last 20 to win 2 games. It’s hard to feel excited about this Kerry experiment right now, we look technically inferior to everyone we have played so far this season, despite having a lot of supposedly full time players. Time will tell I suppose.
Great game in dalymount, very entertaining, both teams with a load of chances.
I think on balance a draw was a fair enough outcome, and although Dundalk had us in bother a few times we almost nicked it at the end a good free kick from Flores just missing the post.
Dundalk impressive, have a few really good youngsters and added to Horgan and the great Bucko a good overall feel to their team, kilduff deserving great credit.
Nice little cameos from young Martin for Bohs too, holding his own with some “robust” defending and keeping his concentration, could be a good one.
Bucko getting a great ovation from the Bohs fans at the end, top man, I’d not have let him go at all.
Great nights entertainment though, big noisy Dundalk following, credit due.
Horrible,ugly game at the MF last night,both teams hoofing anywhere,at one stage in the first half a heading competition,wayward passing etc..game saved only by the result .obviously,and the couple of excellent saves from Jack Brady.Strong rumours Lee.j.Lynch coming back doing the rounds as its also rumoured his coaching escapade with Limerick FC is coming to an abrupt end.....we will see.
