Very lucky to get 3 points tonight, Drogheda dominated most of the game. If they converted the chances they got, they'd have been out of sight. Barry Ryan was outstanding in goal for us

2-1 Fingal
Good win for us tonight. Tbh we should have won it by a lot more. Our finishing was terrible at times. Still 3 more points and now on to the Pats game on monday :) Very important game as both teams will be going for that european spot at least.
rovers excellent in the first half tonight. a brace for twigg to put us 4 up, and he was immediately taken off. presumably to give fenn and stewart some game time together with the suspension coming up. foot off the pedal for the 2nd half with the job done.
Derry walked all over us tonight. They passed the ball well and Farren was excellent. They doubled and even tripled up on O'Flynn, and as a result of that and Tierney not starting, we offered nothing over 90 minutes. Fair play to their support, who never stopped for the whole game (or at least after the guy with the drum turned up).
UCD 1:2 Sporting Fingal
Highlight for me was Killer getting on the scoresheet again, Karl Moore making his full home debut.
Sporting Fingal well worth their win, Browne had alot of space for the winning header, our 'keeper Ger Barron wasn't impressed with the officials because of it. Sporting had at least three decent chances after that including ball hitting crossbar and bouncing on the line, blocks off the line, just past the post, Barron full stretch. Finn allowed run at defence.
UCD aren't up for the fight just yet, it'll be ages and ages before it's last-minute and urgent.
Very entertaining 0-0 in Richmond tonight, Sligo dominated the first half but we were probably the better team in the second, Dave MaCallister hit the post and had a very good chance to score, Sligo keeper mad a good save for Bermo and Gareth O'Conor had a good chance near the end, Sligo mad some good opportunities aswell, Draw a fair result, Monday is a huge game for us, avoid defeat and i will be very happy
On a side note, RTE news and 10 on the radio had a story about Serena Williams missing the US open then something about the Irish ladies Rugby team then something about some bloke not taking over Liverpool before they got to the LOI results, poor form
Totally sick after that game tonight .we should have been out of sight but for bad finishing .We were robbed by a karl sheppard dive and another stupid peno . Im gutted .Quote:

Typical peresecution complex. The officials were just ****e. We had loads of dodgy offsides given against us too. I agree it was never off side but it was no penalty either and it was a definite second booking and ye got away lightly with a few others.Quote:

I can't see how Dundalk's "second goal" was offside. Tipton must be a greyhound if he managed to get ahead of the ball.
Nothing is going for us at the moment. I hope these things even out.
Delighted with the way results went last night!! Fully worth the three points. Cork had a few chances in the dying embers but found Kevin Burns in inspired form. Anything from the Derry game in 2 weeks time should set us up nicely.
Didn't see the first one tbf.Quote:

Were you not hoping for us to feck up last night? I know I was hoping for waterford to fall apart. Oh well its nice and cosy I suppose.Quote:

Jim Laughin is his name, he's not the quickest but he made some important interventions in the second half alright. Thought we tired in the second half and ye could have stole it near the end. The grass seemed very long and the ref gave us nothing all night. Happy to come away with a point in fairnessQuote:

Maybe worth a point in the last few minutes with the relentless attacks. One if not two world class saves from our keeper. Apart from that I though we were well worth our win.
if only...*swoons*Quote:
