A routine win for the Champions against what can only be described as an inhibited opposition. At times it was akin to playing a kids team. The single worst boez side I've seen in 31 years. Class will out in the end i guess. Onwards and upwards.

Most of the time Drogs can hardly get 200 heads to a Derby match just up the road in Dundalk.

... and Bray have to travel round Dublin on their way to Cork? It's 360 miles round trip. Then they fix Bray away to Derry on a Monday? We'll be lucky to have a dozen fans there.Quote:

Not sure what game you where watching. You where fortunate and you know it. Decent strike by Twigg was the real difference. I'm sure any neutrals on here would say, if we got a point out of that game it wouldn't have been undeserved.Quote:

Bohs had a couple of half chances. True, ye didn't have a Twigg but that wasn't the only difference.
Shams did to Bohs what Bohs routinely did to everybody else a couple of seasons ago.
I didn't hear many Bohs fans admitting anybody deserved a point against them back then!
Tough to take I would imagine.
I don't think Bohs will go down but it won't be by much unless you can find a finisher somewhere.
About 80% of the possession was the difference. Your levels of delusion are absolutely mindblowing.Quote:

And yet it was a game that Bohs were very close to getting a draw in with that last minute strike.
Another disappointing draw for us last night. I'm looking forward to us playing a team on Friday that wont time waste from the very first minute and actually want to try and go forward
you have no idea!! particularly when your spin falls through the night before the game and you have to use public transportQuote:

Waterford starting with a 4-5-1 according to Extratime. Should be an interesting game.
Pats weren't nearly clinical enough last night to be fair. It looks like they'll struggle to get enough goals. I can't see them being title challengers to be honest. Was happy with the point though. We needed to steady things after last weeks disaster.Quote:

Some crazy stuff happening at the RSC..Quote:
And Gary Dempsey has just decided to have a sit down and munch some sandwiches. And, yes, he's now joined by midfield partner Gary Dunphy who has brought some tea and a nice blanket. The referee has admirably decided to call the game to break for lunch and both teams now return to the pavillion a 10 minute interlude. I made all of this up.
Harps keeper Ciaran Gallagher being taken away in an ambulance. Nearly 20 minutes attention on the pitch and still ambulance and full medical team by his side.
All the players have been waved off the pitch. Coming together at speed between Gallagher and Seamus Long with Gallagher being knocked out cold by the challenge.
Harps now 1-0 up through Paul Simon Tracey on his league debut for the club.
2-0 Harps. Seamus Long own goal.
Quote:
Half Time - And so, after 70 minutes, we've reached half-time. Harps have scored twice since Gallagher's very unfortunate injury and Waterford have it all to do in a strange atmoshpere at the RSC. Boos from the home fans greeted the whistle.
Hope Gallagher is ok
On paper Rovers should have absolutely destroyed that Bohs team. You didn't and we were unlucky not to take the lead a couple of times prior to twiggy the piggy's goal. We deserved a point out of that, the pundits agreed and most neutrals agree. Mind your own delusion levels.Quote:

Harps absolutely coasting against a terrible Waterford. Sub Keeper Shaun Patton has yet to touch the ball.
Waterford miss a penalty. Great save from 16 year old Shaun Patton who has been fabulous since coming on.
video of the penalty save.

Bohs worked very hard and were well organised but terrible going forward. 2-0 was a fair reflection of the game.Quote:

Damn. We'll probably get fined for that.
If you set out to play that defensively, you only deserve the point if you hold out to a 0-0 draw. As soon as you concede, you forfeit the deserved points.Quote:

Similar to your lot a couple of weeks ago in United Park then! Last couple of years our club was at a very low ebb, and the crowds reflected that. Theres quite a buzz about this team now (United park was rocking last night you'll be glad to know :-) ) so if we dont start taking big crowds to Oriel again this season then I would start to worryQuote:
