I bow in deference to the people of the Treaty City and their wonderful teamQuote:

Pats are awful, set out for 0-0. 11men in their own half for most of the game.
10 team Premier league working well there FAI.Cheers
5 goals, 2 red cards, and our record goalscorer scoring a hat trick against us including an injury time winner. A good night out but it’s not easy..Quote:

Gut wrenching!!! 😕😩
I’m sure it was tough on Waterford fans to lose it like that. However to be fair that was a decent display they gave up to half time.
In the second half though, apart from one or two counter attacks they were happy to sit and contain Dundalk. I will say one thing though, at least had a go in the first half, and at times they passed it about better than Cork did last Friday.
Pleasing to see Dundalk continue to keep it on the deck and to go wide into the 90th minute and beyond, totally deserved winner in the 93/94 minute.
Unlike Maguire, Collins was a traitorQuote:

Even the "best footballing team in the history of the LOI" are struggling bar one game at home on the plastic pitch against Limerick.Quote:

Galway United v Cabinteely goals
We were missing five from our starting 11, so I anticipated a defeat. But the longer it went on sensed we’d hold it out. To lose in those circumstances are sickening, especially as it looks like it twas an own goal. Fully fit squad and us at home might be a different story. I thought Dundalk were the best side we faced so farQuote:

Wouldn't have been hard! Waterford are a decent side, should be pushing for Europe this year. Ye're defence seems rock solid, very impressive to not concede yet. We could do with a bit of that!Quote:

Interesting league ahead. None of the contenders have really clicked yet, we're very inconsistent, dundalk waiting to click up front, Rovers inconsistent too.
Waterford were really well organised and very hard working, but the result was fair. Return fixture could well be a different story, but Warerford are likely to open up a bit more.Quote:

The head to head games between the top 2 will be key as usual but Rovers might put in a better challenge this season, so plenty of tough games ahead for every team.
Well done Barrett and Co..hard earned but well deserved point.Players worked tirelessly throughout and were certainly helped by a very poor disjointed unimaginative display by Cork.Could prove to be a vital point for us later on in the season.Good numbers up from the rebel county and as usual our own cant make up their minds,that was a poor crowd for such a game.
Excellent first half from a depleted Waterford side. Waterford looked dangerous on the break as well.Quote:

Add Hery, Akinade, and Duffus to the team and Waterford will beat a lot of teams.
Cobh 0-2 Harps
Woeful game in Cobh. Truly brutal. Important for Harps to get three points in and a handy clean sheet too.
Brutal in what way?Quote:

That's why we're (used to be) champions 😂 😂Quote:

He ran around 30 yards with the ball before eventually miskicking it off a bobble. That was a recurring theme for large parts of the night.Quote:

Played without an out and out striker as a result of the absent of the latter two. Add Feely and Keegan to those three alsoQuote:

Bray pitch also deemed unplayable. In hindsight it’s probably for our benefit, more recovery and rest time and more time to get players back for Friday. Pity though as there were a big crowd due to travel, which will certainly take a hit if the game is a normal 7.45 on a normal Monday.Quote:

Rovers went one better, while also keeping a clean sheet, 11-0 against Bray Unknowns 28 Aug 1928.
That was Shamrock Rovers again, in Donegal in the Dublin City Cup 17 Aug 1969. Any others?Quote:
