Another great win for the Youths, on current form they have a great chance against what's likely to be the Bohs reserves on Tuesday.

Another great win for the Youths, on current form they have a great chance against what's likely to be the Bohs reserves on Tuesday.
That's one loss in ten now. Couldn't make it to Wexford tonight but I believe we could have had five or six. Things are looking up!

Just in the door a few mins ago from Terryland.3 cracking goals tonight,watch them on mns on Monday or on youtube later or tomorrow.Jay outside of right foot into top corner from 20 yards.Cian mc.Brien fired in from 20 yards into bottom corner and Jason Molloy had a nice finish for his goal.Yes,i know Bray were missing players but so were we.Joined 4th now:D:D,crowd estimate 1200/1300 approx.
UCD vs Waterford one of the worst games. about three shots throughout the game.
It's always the referee's fault with you lot.:rolleyes:Quote:

Crowd estimate: I'd say around 1,500 with the bigger away support obviously.
Just back from Drogs V Dundalk. Poor game. A real derby match. Neither team could win due to a lack of clear cut chances!Quote:

I would estimate the crowd at Terryland at about 1000, don't think it was any higher. 3 great goals especially Jay O Shea's and 3 vital points.
We played a LOT better than we have been playing recently. The players actually looked up for it. Cawley scored a peach of a goal for us. Last minute goal for them, very disappointing way to draw the game. Such a kick in the teeth after a great performance (compared to recent efforts)

Drogheda banner at HT. :) You can guess the crest.
Great game of football at belfield tonight I thought, along with shels longford last week the most entertaining games Ive seen this season
MeathDrog - I would genuinely like to see Drogheda do well this year (thats me in trouble around Oriel Park), but if that is the best Drogheda have played this year, I really fear for you guys.Quote:

From Dundalks' perspective it was a missed opportunity - but satisfied with the point in the circumstances
Paul Peschisolido has resigned as assistant manager of St Patrick's Athletic following the club's 2-2 draw with Sligo Rovers.

Just in from Terryland, good win but 3-0 very harsh on Bray. Still, 3 points, clean sheet and 5 teams below us all drop points, so a great night all round
Based on your appointment with the Revenue Commissioner we won't be the one facing the facts.Quote:

But I thank my lucky stars every day we aren't managed by Doolin. Timewasting with 40 mins to go, playing one up front at home whenthe opposition is down to 10 men...
Pathetic, bitter Derry fans. What's new? Sore losers, always have been.
Where are your title aspirations now?
Can't wait for Kenny on MNS...."it was the ref's fault.... no wait, it was the lino's....no wait.....!!"
Comedy gold. Kenny is a loser, born and bred. Always second best.
Yeah good game. Sligo punished 2 poor bits of defending by us. Better performance and thought we'd done enough to win but Sligo battled to end.Quote:

Some of the offsides decisions mentioned by others where incorrect but in fairness the majority seemed spot on.
Delighted that Waterford did not beat UCD after Henderson's comments on the radio during the week somewhere along the lines that if Wexford Youths can win sure so we definetely can. Not as easy as it seems Mr Henderson :D
You were saying earlier about some one like Kenny getting his point across on MNS??? i doubt that seeing as its a nest of corkies ex players and managerQuote:

But as you say its just one plank. Suppose you should all make the most of it, you got bigger fish to fry.
Damien Richardson's latest blog on the MNS website states that clubs have to play an attacking style of football to increase attendances, and that simply winning isn't enough. I agree.
Cork keep winning 1-0 and it's a bit annoying (though much better than those 1-1s we always got last year) because we can score a lot more.
I thought going to the Cross last night it would be a goalfest, and yet it was a one goal win again.
But can I really complain? Fourth in the league twice in a row and not even European qualification last year? And we are now top of the league and we're complaining?
This season has been the most enjoyable since the title-winning season of 2005.
A lot of it comes down to players staying fit. Only three injuries, all coming at separate times means we've nearly always had a full squad to pick from.
Denis Behan barely played until O'Flynn and Mooney were sold last season, this time he's always started and scored three goals.
At the back we've brought in Greg O'Halloran to replace Darragh Ryan and Pat Sullivan has proved to be a great player.A very strong midfield consisting of Gamble, Healy, Dennehy, Kuduzovic and O'Donnell (when he's not injured or suspended) plus Behan up front and it's a strong team.
What Derry nave missed this season is fro a large part a scoring drought from Mark Farren and what seems to be a poor defence.
No doubt both teams will be still there going into the final round of games (as long as the Revenue Commissioners don't get their way) and we'll have a three-horse race for the title.
But everyone knows Doolins a bitter, pathetic, whinging langer in interviews, including our fans who openly admit it....that doesn't mean Kenny isn't too which is something a lot of your fans don't accept.Quote:

As regarding any trouble, well I didn't see any. I saw a Drogs fan being thrown out for having a flare and that was about it.
Mind you, I was frisked for a good 10-15 seconds before I entered just because I was wearing a hoody. My mate wasn't wearing one and they told him to just go on in. :eek:
Kenny can whinge with the best of them, no doubt.Quote:

You'll also probably find that he's never (well, hardly ever) found whinging from a minority of one.
I imagine that if even money was offered - on Doolin to have a whinge about something, if interview shown, on mns this week - corkies would jump on it. Whereas 2/1 would the price for Kenny, despite the result and all the whinging elsewhere.
Hardly has any credence, given none of them were at the game.Quote:

Second half, we get a man sent off and yet for the rest of the game it appears as if it is Cork who are down to ten men. I reckon Silagis touched the ball about three times before he was changed. Cork just got sucked deeper and deeper and their internationally capped midfielders went AWOL.
It was Derry doing all the pressing in the second half but it wasn't to be.
Credit Derry they tried to keep playing and are a great side to watch. One of the things I looked forward to last night was watching Derry because in my mind there the best attacking team in the league.Quote:
