Pats take the lead and go top (by my reckoning)
2-2 in the City game, another penalty-Cummins.
4 goals so far in the 2nd half, here's hoping for another one for us!
Derry equalise then UCD score from a howler from Doherty.
2-1 UCD
6 -1 to Dundalk-Jonny Breen
Quigley off for Jason Byrne. Welcome back lad :)
3-2 Waterford
2-0 Sligo
no fuss, no drama. (a certain Rovers poster will get that one) ;)
Both Leauges are hotting up if tonights latest stay as !!!
Some craic in sligo with the nets.
Can have no argument with the result. Apart from a couple of ten minute spells Sligo were comfortably on top. I believe this can now be called a slump.
Suppose it's nice to finally lose to a team that isn't Bray.
Good win for Rovers.
MON will be crying into his whiskey tonight...
FT Bohs 2 - Drogs 0
Looks like Limerick have messed up against Wexford again.....2-2
Wexford 2 Limerick 3 (Judge, Quinn, OG)
Finished 6-1 here in Oriel .
Ye're not the only ones messing up. Shels will run away with this league I think. Far too consistent.
Feck ye anywayQuote:

6 minutes added on in Wexford. O'Leary stretchered off, hopefully its not serious but it sounds it. We have awful luck with injuries.

Well..... That was easy. :)
Very easy, Galway were poor to say the least and we didn't even have to move into second gear.Quote:

We were appalling at the back tonight. Kavanaghs red last week upset things no doubt.Quote:

We got what we deserved.
Promotion now an even more remote possibility.
That win sets us up nicely for Monaghan next week. Didn't play all that well but its good to keep the winning streak going.
Another good night for us tonight with Derry and Rovers dropping points, after Bray went down to 10 they dominated the game and should really have equalised at the end only to be stopped by a Gary Rogers save that is by far the best save I have seen in years
Not going to get too carried away about being top because I think Rovers will beat us next week to reclaim that spot but delighted non the less:)
I logged on fully expecting to see a petty squabble based on flimsy allegations which would continue on long after it had ceased to be interesting, but instead was subjected to some sort of mature discussion of the night's footballing action. This site has gone to the dogs!
That's cos all the Hoops (except our Charlie) are making their way back from the Showgies.Quote:

While Dundalk scored an easy win against a dispirited Galway side there were some interesting asides from the match.
Jason Byrne made a long awaiting return as a sub tonight after missing the last 8 games, with the youngster who has replaced him, Mark Griffin (who only made his full league debut against UCD in late May), grabbing his 5th goal in those 8 games. This lad, who only turned 20 last week had been a revelation, being man-of-the-match in most of those games. Any scouts coming to watch Danny Kearns would surely be going away with more notes taken down about Griffin.
Greg Bolger and Keith Ward also netted their first league goals for the club, but of greater significance is that Bolger is at last finding the form that was anticipated when he signed.
With Stephen Maher also making a long awaiting return as sub, it should not be long before he is looking to nail down a spot alongside Bolger in midfield.
Next weeks fixtures are of hugh importance to Dundalk if they are to force their way back in to the league shake-up. It might be a big ask but a victory on Tuesday night in Bray would take Dundalk level with Bohs ahead of their meeting in Oriel on Friday night.
Its says a lot of what Dundalk fans think of the security in Tallaght when there will be three times as many of our fans in the Carlisle Grounds on Tuesday as there was up in yon kip on the same day last week !! ??
I was marooned out in UCDD all day today, so not all...Quote:

Bullit's post was obviously provocative and OTT in referring to the SDCC stadium as a "kip", but he was not passing comment on the "footballing finese" of the Hoops, but on the signficant security lapses in and around the stadium and the propensity of some Hoops "fans" for starting aggro.Quote:

Indeed. Or maybe it just reflects Dundalk fans' judgement on it. Fans who were celebrating promotion in a play-off that was never going to matter. Just because Dundalk fans proclaim it, it doesn't necessarily bear out in reality :)Quote:
