Danny North was the best after Twigg in my opinion. Totally different styles but very effective. Injuries and a questionable lifestyle took their toll on him but for a while he was clinical the year we won the league.

Are you suggesting that Bradley wanted to sign him previously but was out foxed by Bray?Quote:

Think Vinny Perth wont be too much longer boss at Dundalk!
If Bohs win tonight its the bullet for Vinnie i reckon.
With the biggest and most expensively assembled squad in the league 4th place regardless of injuries will be hard to defend.
Dear lord please let Dundalk win tonight,the thought of Harps going to Oriel park on Friday after them losing 3 games in a row is scaring me!
Got an 'enough is enough' banner you can lend them ? don't worry you can get it back before next Tuesday :oQuote:

The difference may be that Bradser was believed in by the board but Vinnie was always 2nd or 3rd choice for Peak6......back to options 1 and 2
Not according to our owners! But if you can prove different work awayQuote:

Fact is if Byrne, Finn or Bolger are out for a period with injuries it will have a big effect on Rovers season, similar to the injuries dundalk have had. Hoban looks less threatening this season it appears, if I'm not mistaken, and shields is the biggest loss of all.
All to play for.
There isnt a need to assume at all PC, The headline of the piece and what Garts said were chalk and cheese. The local journalist was roundly criticised for the midleading headline and I doubt Gartland himself would have been too happy with it. Rovers dont need additional motivation by having Dundalk's captain dismiss their title credentials!
Reckon no matter what happens Vinny would be given the season, maybe a cup success could keep the owners happy until next season, still hard to know what their ambitions are for the club.
Would be an interesting feeling as a Bohs fan to beat Dundalk tonight, Dundalk to sack VP and then have our manager surface as a top choice for the vacated post... hmmm...Quote:

Will be interested to see Daniel Kelly tonight. Just saw glimpses of him in the TV coverage this season, how is he doing? One of three players who left Bohs at the end of last season who were supposedly going to kick on, JJ Lunney and Dan Casey being the other two
Long and Crolly on three year deals afaik, small change for Peak 6 if they swoop.
You have touched on an ongoing question among Dundalk fans and that being what the minimum is needed for the owners to be satisfied and getting a return on investment. Is it just making Europe annually, progression in Europe, group stages regularly etc. Obviously they will want maximum return, at least not lose money. A lot of Dundalk dans would like to know what their minimum requirement is and how they manage a poor run of form will help indicate that. I do think though that Mike Tracey is of the patient type, within reason and VPs job wont be on te line after tonights game regardless.Quote:

Gartland is'nt stupid enough to Diss Rovers to a Journo, it can only go wrong especially in this league where he could end up at Rovers next year with Massey
Bohs make 7 changes from Friday night and have no Ward or Corcoran in the squad!
Derry 2-0 up and now Kevin Toner just sent off for Pats.
Cork 1 up on UCD
Assist from the wind I think.
Not a night for a game
First time in over 20 years going to Richmond I've left early, would love them to make me look stupid but I'm very confident that won't happen.
The sending off was a handy excuse but it doesn't cover the fact we were embarrassing prior to it. Kenny looks absolutely clueless I'm sad to say. Genuinely not a single good performance so far outside of purely battling ones against Dundalk and Cork.
0 0 so far in oriel great result for Rovers if it finishes same, have i jinxed it
Yip you did!
Cannot beat a 92nd minute penalty winner!
Ucd beat Cork!!
:(:):starved:confused as to whether i am happy or sad.Quote:

Vinnie survives :)
Don't know whether to laugh or cry to be honest
Who goes first JC or HK?
Or an 95th minute one :DQuote:

Thought the straight red was harsh, but yer man was on a yellow anyway, so to go lunging in in the centre circle was needless.
Probably a draw was fair overall - a poor game in general - but won't complain about sneaking it!
As a Dundalk fan at the game tonight can I just say that’s it’s an absolute joke that in this day and age that we still can’t or refuse to offer proper facilities and shelter for away fans , apologies to the bohs fans that had to stand in the ****ing rain with no shelter from the elements thus evening it’s gone beyond embarrassing.
Apologies to the Bohs fans who felt robbed by conceding an injury time penalty.
Bohs certainly deserved at least a point, and in fairness, probably all three.
Excellent side who were set up very well, passed well and worked really hard. I look forward to next Tuesday night's cup final
Great performance from our under 19's.Deserved a point , at least.The Peno was Dundalks only shot on target.
That Dundalk team look very stale, will not catch Rovers.
Great run from Daniel Kelly to earn the last minute penalty. Poor game though, both sides had hardly a shot on target. There was a lot of effort but little quality. Bohs rested quite a few players but Dundalk huffed and puffed the whole game. Nice to see McEleney and Shields back. Dundalk need them as the likes of Flores and McKee offer little.
Ouch, sickening to lose to an injury time peno especially as it looked outside the box. Strange decision to play second string but were still worth a point and could have been more if we had any edge up front. Pretty pedestrian game that had 0-0 written all over it.
Decent crowd on a pretty awful night.
Dundalk just about deserved a draw, but Bohs were the better team for much longer periods. The peno (definite one, clear trip on Kelly) was our only shot on target.
Tough on Bohs, but we'll the 3 points for sure.
looks outside the boxQuote:

i think from another angle if there was a camera behind the goal, it would prove it was inside, but it was very close.
Here's another viewQuote:
