Very lucky to get 3 points tonight, Drogheda dominated most of the game. If they converted the chances they got, they'd have been out of sight. Barry Ryan was outstanding in goal for us

2-1 Fingal
Good win for us tonight. Tbh we should have won it by a lot more. Our finishing was terrible at times. Still 3 more points and now on to the Pats game on monday :) Very important game as both teams will be going for that european spot at least.
rovers excellent in the first half tonight. a brace for twigg to put us 4 up, and he was immediately taken off. presumably to give fenn and stewart some game time together with the suspension coming up. foot off the pedal for the 2nd half with the job done.
Derry walked all over us tonight. They passed the ball well and Farren was excellent. They doubled and even tripled up on O'Flynn, and as a result of that and Tierney not starting, we offered nothing over 90 minutes. Fair play to their support, who never stopped for the whole game (or at least after the guy with the drum turned up).
UCD 1:2 Sporting Fingal
Highlight for me was Killer getting on the scoresheet again, Karl Moore making his full home debut.
Sporting Fingal well worth their win, Browne had alot of space for the winning header, our 'keeper Ger Barron wasn't impressed with the officials because of it. Sporting had at least three decent chances after that including ball hitting crossbar and bouncing on the line, blocks off the line, just past the post, Barron full stretch. Finn allowed run at defence.
UCD aren't up for the fight just yet, it'll be ages and ages before it's last-minute and urgent.
Very entertaining 0-0 in Richmond tonight, Sligo dominated the first half but we were probably the better team in the second, Dave MaCallister hit the post and had a very good chance to score, Sligo keeper mad a good save for Bermo and Gareth O'Conor had a good chance near the end, Sligo mad some good opportunities aswell, Draw a fair result, Monday is a huge game for us, avoid defeat and i will be very happy
On a side note, RTE news and 10 on the radio had a story about Serena Williams missing the US open then something about the Irish ladies Rugby team then something about some bloke not taking over Liverpool before they got to the LOI results, poor form
Totally sick after that game tonight .we should have been out of sight but for bad finishing .We were robbed by a karl sheppard dive and another stupid peno . Im gutted .Quote:

Typical peresecution complex. The officials were just ****e. We had loads of dodgy offsides given against us too. I agree it was never off side but it was no penalty either and it was a definite second booking and ye got away lightly with a few others.Quote:

I can't see how Dundalk's "second goal" was offside. Tipton must be a greyhound if he managed to get ahead of the ball.
Nothing is going for us at the moment. I hope these things even out.
Delighted with the way results went last night!! Fully worth the three points. Cork had a few chances in the dying embers but found Kevin Burns in inspired form. Anything from the Derry game in 2 weeks time should set us up nicely.
Didn't see the first one tbf.Quote:

Were you not hoping for us to feck up last night? I know I was hoping for waterford to fall apart. Oh well its nice and cosy I suppose.Quote:

Jim Laughin is his name, he's not the quickest but he made some important interventions in the second half alright. Thought we tired in the second half and ye could have stole it near the end. The grass seemed very long and the ref gave us nothing all night. Happy to come away with a point in fairnessQuote:

Maybe worth a point in the last few minutes with the relentless attacks. One if not two world class saves from our keeper. Apart from that I though we were well worth our win.
if only...*swoons*Quote:

I was disappointed to see Limerick lose, I'd like to see them do well. Derry are a cut above the rest in Division One though, be good for the league for them and Cork to get back. On Cork, bad loss to Waterford when they seemed to be catching up with the top 3. Good on Waterford though, I like to see Munster teams do well.
Hon Yuffs!!
http://bluestid.blogspot.com/search?q= if you scroll down to the match blog the video of the goal is there. Good build up and finish.
Jeez that first yellow card for the Dundalk player was incredibly harsh!
Dunno how the hell Maher got the first yellow card. To me our dissalowed goal was onside.(not 100% sure though)
Bastid officials.
Man not a bad website, thanksQuote:

thats 11 goals in 2 games out in santry for us and fungus, cant wait for the next one
Shamrock Rovers 4:1 UCD
Full Moon. we didn't ourselves any favours tonight. First goal was gifted to Bradley from a midfield error, worked hard and after some close calls Killer stuck the equaliser past Mannus, for Kilduff's tenth Airtricity League goal. Dennehy's goal came from a UCD throw-in at the home sides corner flag, the winger broke away and sent in a shot from out wide which beat Barron. Sending off didn't help. we had players out f position and once again Paul O'Conor is played at right-back, but with no one on the right side of midfield, the pressure came from there, Twigg and Murray rose highest in the box for the other goals.
But UCD raised themselves up in that second half and alot of hard work was done by Boyle tidying up in defence, Ward and Bolger trying to keep Kilduff in the game, who hit the crossbar in the second half
There's nine games to go, UCD still playing the football.
To your credit you are. Bad tackle for the red card.Quote:

Massive win for us tonight, another good game to watch after the Sligo game on Friday, Delighted
Worst defeat of the season for us tonight. So disappointed. It was a great game and could have gone either way, but its a hard defeat to take. Some great goals tonight. How close was Ronan Finns effort when it was two all.
On a side note. It seems Drogheda are not the only team to have in house fighting :) and how good was that cowbell :D
Roll on next week and the FAI Cup game against Limerick. Need something to take my mind off tonights defeat :(
Not that close actually. About a yard wide. I'd imagine we had a better angle than you in fairness. How good is Finn btw? If I could sign any player in the league it'd be him. Still thought McAllister was the best player on the park. His goal showed everything a midfielder needs. Wins the ball, runs 50 yards with it, plays it through, continues his run, collects a poor enough ball back and buries it with his supposed weaker foot.Quote:

Was watching the replay after with Rusty and a couple of the players. General consensus was that it looked worse than it was. Went in for a 30/70 after a bad touch by the Rovers player, didn't make the ball, turned sideways - maybe to pull out of the tackle or protect himself? Clumsy anyway - and the Rovers player went flying over him. Maybe a different angle will show it up differently though. That said, Shorty was never one to shirk out of a challenge and maybe another player would have pulled out sooner. Shame for us as it really ended the game; we'd been doing ok if still second best. Four points from ten games now; badly badly need wins against Bray and Drogheda to get out of the relegation mire. Don't know how it's come to this given how well we were doing after beating Fingal last time out.Quote:

Sublime stuff. Really belongs in a better league. May be comfortable here though.Quote:
