Am not surprised. With Tierney, Byrne, and Lynch out we were bound to be missing the driving force. Also Brennan is actually not fully fit yet so for him to be thrown in meant things were desperate. McMahon getting injured was a major blow as he is Lynch's back up and having to bring in Flynn who hasnt played at this level before against a team pushing for promotion, we were never going to get much outta the game.
Hopefully we can get it back on track next week against Mervue.
Great battling performance from us last night. Not a great game, although it improved a bit in the 2nd half. We'll get stuck into them at the Showgies on Tuesday!
I think the ref (Alan Kelly) and assistants deserve a mention too for a good performance. We give them no end of stick when they screw up, but he let the game flow well and didn't give out any silly bookings. It was leagues ahead of the performance of Winters and co. in the LC Semi.
Tonight's lineups:
Blues: Michael Devine; Alan Carey, Kenny Browne, Kevin Murray, Seamus Long; Joe Mulcahy, John Kearney, Stephen Grant, Kevin Waters; Willie John Kiely, Graham Cummins
subs: Kevin Burns, Declan Woodgate, Kieran Fitzgerald, Dave Warren, Gary Dunphy, Paul Carey, Vinny Sullivan
Pats: Gary Rogers, Stephen Maher, Damien Lynch, Jason Gavin, Enda Stephens, Alan Cawley, Bobby Ryan, Stuart Byrne, Gary Dempsey, Ryan Guy, Glen Fitzpatrick
subs: Brendan Clarke, Darragh Ryan, Noel Haverty, Gints Freimanis, Andy Haran, Kyle Moran, Mark Leech
As mentioned elsewhere :D the referee is Mr Anthony Buttimer of Cork.
On mature reflection Pat's have lined out in this wise (R-L across the rows):
Gary Rogers; Damien Lynch, Jason Gavin, Stuart Byrne, Enda Stephens; Stephen Maher, Alan Cawley, Gary Dempsey, Bobby Ryan; Glen Fitzpatrick, Ryan Guy
And they've had a goal chalked off for offside already (1 min). Dempsey finding Fitzpatrick with a nice pass, but the flag up good and early, long before the (tidy) finish.
Blues 1-0 up, WJK on 17 mins!
Cracking strike, initially got onto a neat ball down the left channel, held it for Grant arriving through the middle, picked it up again after it broke clear from Grant and drove it to the top left corner from just inside the area.
According to futbol24 the LTFC anf Bray game is postponed? :confused:
Half time, 1-0 Blues.
Great game of ball so far, best I've seen Waterford play in quite a while.
Lynch booked for Pat's, the only card so far. :)
Dessie Baker 1-0
Chisholm 2-0
2nd half underway about 5 mins here.
Devine already after making two superb saves from Dempsey and Lynch to keep it at 1-0.
Official attendance is 677.
Saturday night atter a Sunny day. People will have gone mad and are all face down on a couch asleep, sunburnt facing hangovers.
That drum at the Fingal-Shams game is probably, the worst bit of "drumming" ive ever heard. Atmosphere as dead as a dodo
Leech on for Fitzpatrick 57 mins
Waterford 1 v 1 Saints ..Dempsey
1-1 now, Dempsey.
Scramble in the box, we couldn't clear it, fell to Dempsey who drilled home low inside the left post from 10 yards.
Feck it, we've been losing the midfield battle since half time, chickens home to roost now!
Darragh Ryan on for Maher for them, Warren on for Mul for us.
To explain the futbol24 postponed, as I have gotten so many mails about it, the game is on. I think it came about from the fact we have Longford v Kildare as Postponed on our matchtracker. Futbol24 watch us sometimes I think and they much have mistakenly read the game and as a result you see postponed on their site!!
Fingal 1 v 2 hoops
2-2 now
Fingal 2 v 2 hoops
Bray have 2 cleard off line in Flancare
All over here, 1-1.
Feck it, we don't need that.
Replay is Tuesday, Shels game now postponed to God know's when.
Waterford 1 v Saints 1 result
Jaysus Quigley is having some seriously nervous moments under the high ball.
All over in Morton, Rovers and Fingal to do it all again in Tallaght.
extratime has an attendance of 1608, I would have thought there was about that many on the terraced side. :confused:
Town 0-0 Bray
Referee Neil Doyle also had a good game in tonights Dundalk V Cork match - no fuss, no major howlers, let the game happen, and only 3 bookings (all merited)
Dundalk thoroughly deserved the win, and would not have been flattered with a bigger margin. Michael McGowan, Shaun Kelly and Liam Burns all had excellent performances.
Very disappointed with Cork who did not display any real ambition to win the game (until after the 86th minute goal). Only Stephen O'Donnell and Billy Dennehy showed any drive, and particularly poor from Gunter Silagalis, Davin O'Neill and Joe Gamble. Although I have no doubt that Paul Doolin will tell us something different on MNS on Monday.
