Limerick 1-1 Harps
Tosi
They generally don't let away fans in, but I'd imagine you will be ok today. Other option is Kennedys right across from train station, decent bar who sponsored last weeks home match, they will def have it on in all TVs and do food, 3 min walk to the ground.Quote:

Barry McNamee just scores his first senior hat-trick (all within the space of eight minutes) with a free-kick. Derry leading 4-0.
Derry win 4-0 against Drogs.
Cobh 5-1 Athlone 😂
Limerick were very very poor today should of won the game in injury time when robbie williams somehow headed the ball of the inside of the post from 2yards out harder to miss it
Went to watch cobh athlone today. Some of these foreign lads dont even look like footballers they are horrendous. God knows how waterford/wexford lost to them
Say it was something to do with the Harps lad hanging off his back.Quote:

Could have been 7 or 8 to be honest, Athlone looked like a team cobbled together at the last minute.Quote:

Can't see how you reckon a midfield with Duggan in and Hery out is the best option considering Duggans last two performances.Quote:

But, then, that's football, isn't it -- all about opinions, and Limerick football fans are always capable of offering up some particularly exotic ones. That, above, is just Alan O'Brien's...

Without starting rumours I'm getting more and more concerned about our financial situation. Something's not right and it's being reflected on the field.
Absolute walk in the park for Dundalk tonight.McEleney with two belting goals and another motm award.The lad just oozzes quality.Prob the worst Pats side i have ever seen in OP,offered little and created sfa.Bucks skating on thin ice.We could have had had another few goals only for O'Malley(Pats GK)
All set up very nicely now for v Cork next week.
But he isn't a natural holding midfielder he was never a holding midfielder until Martin Russell put him there we don't actually have a natural holding midfielder it was an area we desperately needed to address this season and haven't.Quote:

Things looking extremely bleak at pats
They worked hard in the first half but once they conceded it was a question of how many they would concede.Quote:

I was impressed with Michael Barker though, he has the makings of a good player.
Just looking at the lineups; I assume Barker was shifted into the holding midfield role today, yeah?
Stephen Kenny offered Maguire a contract for 2016, but the player declined.Quote:

He played right back and gave Massey a torrid time.Quote:

McEleney is sneaky. Mark my words - in the first 2 minutes of he will shin a Cork player on the foot.Quote:

Pathetic from Town.
How did the two O'Hanlon's play? Neither has offered much so far. Lunney is talented but will need time. Certainly we are in big trouble.Quote:

Overall very happy with the 3-0 win, probably should have been more. Pats at least tried to play a bit, their shape wasn't too bad, some good performances in Barker and Peers & in particular O'Malley, but overall they have nowhere near the quality of players at the minute and things look very bleak for them.
Good to see Shields come on for the last 20 and make an immediate impact, I'd like to think he can come straight into the side to face Cork next week.
Pathetic isn't the word.Quote:

Drogheda had a couple of great chances in the first, more than Derry. A better side would have put them away.
Derry were fairly comfortable in the second, without creating an awful lot. That was until McNamee's hattrick, all in eight minutes. Finished with cracker of a free kick.
I think Drogheda will be ok this season, based on yesterday's performance. They've the makings of a decent enough sqaud, just need to take their chances, and get Gavin Brennan some chill pills. He was a very angry man all day yesterday, yet somehow didn't get booked.
Short turnaround for Tuesday against Limerick now. We looked a bit tired towards the end of yesterday's match. Hopefully the lights stay on this time just.
Alex put in a good shift but seems to get frustrated easily IMO. But at times he was very good last night, but against that dundalk team, you get so little time to impose yourself. He seems to be slowly getting more in to it though.Quote:

They'll both improve as will the the team in general.
Any teams out there in need of a Darren Dennehy type player ??? anyone ???? ideally bohs, galway, harps, limerick, drogheda or sligo ????
We can only hope. It's looking really bad though. Saddens me how far we've slipped since winning the league, or even our cup winning team. We really need something against Rovers next week.Quote:

Harps are going to win the league. You heard it here first.
