Do you mean in a single season? Surely someone has scored more than 31 goals for the club overall beforeQuote:

Agree, Harvey was hugely inconsistent in his decision making. Connolly went in late on Lyness in the first half and wasn’t booked then a minute later McGrath did the same thing to Afolabi and picked up a yellow for it. Either both are yellows or neither. (I think both were for what it’s worth)
Catty got away with a deliberate elbow to Radkowski head too, meant it all day.
McGrath for me was red, lunge in from distance studs up at speed .
Overall Harvey was ok but he really compounds his mistakes with silly yellows while missing dangerous fouls.
LOI highlights of Shels v Rovers on YT skips from minute 21 until minute 92!! I was at the game myself and i know Shels tend to create boring matches all right but there actually was a few shots and 1 v big penalty claim in that time. Who puts these packages together??
Agreed. Some of the decisions were poor. He didn’t have a nightmare in fairness to him but got several calls wrong.Quote:

Dunno- I thought there was a difference- McGrath took out the standing leg, Connolly looked like a missed block, with little contact imo.Quote:

Very poor game in FP but a gutsy effort from Treaty to hang on for 3 welcome points,must be said given the experience in this Treaty side these are games that they should be winning.Kerry at home next should be no different.
That Frantz Pierrot fella looks like he's playing against kids not grown men,absolute unit...
Story doing the rounds since midweek that someone has a sizeable bid in for him. I believe his brother plays for Macabi HaifaQuote:

Yes, single season record.Quote:

Very good win for Derry tonight. They really have hit some form at the right time. Europe has probably been a help to them rather than a hindrance. They could be the ones after all to end the 4 in a row.
Yeah good result for them. Three probably flattered them, as Drogheda weren’t out of it until the second. Three was harsh on them. Two big misses as well. Agree about their keeper, didn’t realise he’s only 17. Very impressive for that age.Quote:

OBrien Whitmarsh hit the post and Christian nearly scored with a superb bicycle kick! Very entertaining game. I wouldnt give up on us missing playoffs as Wexford have lost the same amount of games as us!Quote:

Keith long kept him on as he was sold on the lads talent but he couldn’t get back fitness, seems to have it back now though.
Really hope this kid ends up playing top end premier because of his attitude in battling back, wouldn’t be surprised to see a certain Waterford manager come calling either.
He is. Huge kick outs that easily reach the opposite 18 yard box.Quote:

Drogs, as expected, sat in and defended well. Our slow build up play wasn't really working. When we finally put some quick passing moves together, we made the breakthrough.
The second and third goals came with quick movement too, though Drogs were pushing forward and leaving gaps at the back.
Very happy overall, and sets us up nicely for Thursday night.
Six wins in a row at the Brandywell now. Maybe, just maybe, we're finally sorting out our home form?
He's missed a fair bit of time for us through injury too but when he does get a few games under his belt he's very good.Quote:

Drogs had a couple of very good chances, but on another night Derry would have had six. Waxed them in the second half bar one three-minute spell. Confidence looks sky-high, way different from what it was a couple of months ago.
Derry in the first half huffed and puffed and could have been behind only Maher made a tremendous save to deny Foley who really should have scored. Maher has made a few big saves in games over the last few weeks now. The first half was slow and laboured at times although when we did inject a bit of pace into our play we managed to cut them open and score just prior to half time. Great play from Duffy to play the ball into McEneff with a tidy finish.
Second half when we made our changes you could see the difference in quality of play. McMullen, Patching, Fats and McGonigle coming on made us tick along a lot more fluently and some of the quick interchanges made it difficult for Drogheda to compete with. Two quick fire goals came our way and they where more than deserved. Drogs overall arent the same side they where at the beginning of the season losing a few key men.
Hopefully the start of a good week for us though. Onwards to Thursday.
I was wondering was that his brother alright. Frantzdy Pierrot and Frantz Pierrot. It was a very similar background - moved to US when in his teens and played in College there.Quote:

The thing is I don't think there's any way they're going to sell him to another League of Ireland club. The whole Valeo project would surely be about moving players on to a higher level than just League of Ireland. I know they have some kind of club in Portugal but again I think that would be too low a level.
If he sticks with Athlone for the season I definitely think they could surprise Waterford in the playoffs.
To be fair Waterford were decent on Friday, better than earlier in the season, and should have won but for a bit of an error from the 'keeper. It likely wouldn't have mattered had we lost but getting the draw means it's definitely a case of 'when' and not 'will' we lift the title.
Derry 3/1 to win the league looks like a good bet at this point. There's a lot riding on Clarke and Farrugia coming back strong for us and Gaffney staying fit. Byrne should be back as well but it's the pace of the wingbacks we need back. Derrys bench last night was frightening.
Just catching up on some of the First division highlights from the weekend and some of the goalkeeping is atrocious,Lee Axworthy might be one of the worst goalkeepers I've ever seen,Galways equaliser and Treatys goal on Friday were from some more bad goalkeeping aswell....
Corey Chambers has done very well since joining but made a bad mistake for Wexford's winner.Quote:
