the Dundalk boss has got to be feeling the pressure, whoever he is
Yer man Burt looks a real player. He's roasting the dundalk defence, albeit that's a shambles of a defence, to be fair.
Alan Matthews ? ;);) Ah, they can have him.Quote:

What did I tell you :pQuote:

Genuine question :
What is going on in Dundalk ?
Is it simply that the management team are clueless ( the comparison with how Long/Croly have organised a team of decent older players and talented youngsters into a cohesive unit was such a contrast) or is there more to it - some of the established players looked like they were simply going through the motions and some ( Boyle and Shields) look like they’re past it .
Or maybe it’s simply the final throes of a cycle coming to its investable end
PS - I’d say Richie Towell is glad he dodged a bullet
Tough times at Turners X , have Athlone ever won there versus Cork City ?
6 wins out of 16 visits in the League, as it happens.
this mad season continues
We're just not at it in the final third. All well and good having the possession but not turning that into real chances and goals will see us knocking about the bottom half of the division.
Thought that was a professional and mature performance from pats to show patience and keep knocking on the door until they got the opener. Very poor decision making from Lupano on the second yellow but the game was already one sided in the half hour before that. A depressing performance for the Derry fans to watch I can imagine
at least next year you guys can get the chance to renew your rivalry in the league with dundalk.Quote:

PS Have Richie with all his injuries and his fuqing media team.
We dodged a bullet when Mcelenny chose to go to Dundalk . Towell could go either way.
Hard to believe that was the same Dundalk team last night that created and should have scored a bucket of chances last week v Rovers?
Bohs created maybe 6 good scorable chances last night,Cherrie was lucky they weren't on target as he was awful..
Dundalk will eventually put a run together despite their management, but a huge job to restore morale there..
Bohs played for each other last night, a lot of new signings stepped up so hopefully we can kick on now.
Only 14 games to go until we’re crowned champions. That’s how it works now right?
The league hasn't started yet you are still in pre season
Huge 3 points for Bohs. Dundalk should have been 2-0 up early and it looked like we were going to be in for a long evening before that kamikaze tackle for the peno.
I thought we were excellent in the second half and should have put the game to bed. It did look like Dundalk should have had a peno at the end with the handball, but it wasn't given. When your luck is out, it's out.
Lots of positives for us though after a very rough start and hopefully we can kick on from here.
Poor enough up in Sligo..
Crawley seems to have it in for Lee Grace for some reason

Could go either way
The epitome of the word bitter red. Gob€hite.
Poor, ponderous stuff from Rovers, allowing sligo to pressure them into mistakes. Rovers don't look dangerous in midfield and mandriou & Burke are luxurys we don't need in this situation.
A big step up in class is needed to avoid defeat here.
Two excellent team goals in the second half from Drogheda. 3-0 now.
I’d agree with Alan Cawleys assessment of Shamrock Rovers. They remain a good side but defo seem to have taken a step back in overall quality , on evidence of the few games so far anyway.
4-0 now. Disaster.Quote:

It’s a tough gig for keepers. He has pulled off some amazing saves this year then spills one like that into the net.
And we’re 1-1
2-1 Harps.
May as well hand them the trophy now.
Minimised any damage in the end. Missed opportunity for Sligo but character from Shams too.Quote:

Our disallowed goal looked good to me, Manus played Fugeria on, its not an offence to be in an offside position.
