Longford pitch is a disgrace. How they get a licence I'll never know.
In fairness it's better than Ballybofey's! So if you're calling for us not to get a licence over our pitch then Harps wouldn't get one either!! I'd say if you looked back over the years the amount of called off in Ballybofey would exceed that of Longford.
Game on after pitch inspection.
I wish it wasn't, 2-0 Dundalk after 23 minutes. I dread to think what score this could end up.
6-0 hopefully. That's the highest earner bet I put on. :DQuote:

4-0 Dundalk, few minutes left.
Long season ahead for Longford. Always nice to meet up with some good football people. There is a sense of resignation about the place.
We are missing a few through injury but I had a lot of concerns about the strength of our squad to begin with. Since the opening match we've only got one point and only scored one league goal which was a complete fluke. I'm not sure who we're going to finish ahead of. I'd take 11th now to be honest.
We were poor last night but had just enough quality to beat a solid Harps team whose main problem would appear to be where goals will come from. They were a damn sight more impressive than Bray, Bohs or Sligo anyway (teams I've seen us play this year) and I'd imagine they'll be okay. Still living the dream ourselves - three home games, three wins, three clean sheets. Cork at home next week will be a massive test but if we get something out of that, we'll be well placed for a decent haul of points after first series of games
As much of a "dislike" i have for Longford, i have never found the pitch the be anyway bad. Always actually thought of it as a good surface. Far far better than Ballybofey anyways.Quote:

I'm glad there's at least one person got it.Quote:

They can say they never got out of second gear but for the first half hour of the second half they never got out of neutral...thank god. We were just woeful. I said before the season that we'll concede lots, score very few and finish 12th. Unfortunately I'm been proved right. A dodgy keeper, a full back four missing, no bite or creativity in midfield and no natural goal scorer. Derry next week.....time to prove me wrong!
Grim in Bray.Awful pitch, about 200 home fans
They deserve to go down
there was none of that in Killashee at all. There was a hail shower in Ballymahon for a few mins when I was at a match. Was it in Longford Town with this thundery rain?
totally agree with you. resigned with the way the team are going, resigned with the boards love of Tony Cousins and resigned with the way the board is running the club and resigned with the way the board makes life hell for Section O and resigned with the amount of good Section O lads that have stayed away due to the clubs ineptitude of idenitying the wrong culprit when the flares were lit at the FAI semi final!Quote:

Lads its only April!
Longford are by far the worst team we have played this season and I think there will be plenty more of these scorelines and relegation based on that performance last night. We could easily have won 10 nil if we had a decent striker, McMillan missed some very straight forward chances and Kilduff didn't offer much at all.
