Sligo seemed to have scored a good goal, the ref give it but then it was flagged by the Donegal linesman on the near side. ;)
Pardon my French, but they were talking ar*e. He might have moved the ball 5 or 6 yards on, but there was so much moaning about it, United would have had time to change their kit before Cawley took the free kick. We lost not because he moed the ball on, but because we can't defend to save our lives.Quote:

Bray should have had game wrapped up long before they did. We're goosed.
referee signalled for a goal. but the linesman who was further away from the incident raised the flag for a foul. i was talkin to a few harps fans after the game who could not see anything wrong with the goal. unusual to see a linesman go against the referee ! just glad it didnt change the resultQuote:

Given the options of Shels or Bohs to go to, I thought the game at Tolka was very entertaining. Waterford took the game to Shels and always in doubt until Shels finally ended it.
Waterford's right winger and substitute centre-half stood out in particular. Some glaring misses from great crosses in the second half.
Hard to say actually!!!! Both goals were on the break and probably two of only three or four real chances ye had. Then again we didn't have too many ourselves. We started the better team but then ye scored against the run of play and Gamble was sent off. Uphill for us from then on obviously. Baker, I thought had a very good first half but seemed to disappear a bit in the second. Your defence were excellent and just soaked it all up all night. Not a bother to them. Gartland was very good attacking the ball but sent a few astray at times. You also broke very well and Ollie played very well.Quote:

The only gripe I could have with Drogs/Doolin tonight is leaving Grant up front more or less on his own for most of the night -- against ten men!! :mad: Is positivity a dirty word in Drogheda??? You have some of the best players in the league but they appear to have a 'don't lose at all costs' mentality drilled into them which appears to stifle their individual creativity to ridiculous levels. They never seem to enjoy playing - even when they're winning.

Click "watch in high quality" it's right beside the views counter.
We are pish, Sligo are an average team but they still coasted to victory. Almeida is class at the back, got away from Stuart Malcom (joke of a player) too easily and had a free header at the near post.Quote:

We have at least 4 players who wouldn't get in last seasons team. :mad:
It's true we have a cautious style. Being two up away from home and then changing formation to some less cautious style of play will mean you draw matches like that more than you win. The players not looking happy to you during the game is of no consequence. The end is what's important to them.Quote:

Ye made very good use of the extra man. We had to go and attack so Im surprised ye didnt score more
what a game in terryland, i really hope rte show a lot of it!! cant wait to hear kenna's reaction to his first match... we should have won at least 5-2 on the night..

Just sums up the amateurism at Finn Park!

Tbh I was dissapointed we didn't score more. We could have quite easily won 5-0!
Class? Honestly? You score a goal against the run of play, then score another goal when a team down to ten men is pushing forward to score, and then sit back, and thats class? At one point after the second goal the entirety of your team was on the edge of your box. You played the game well but it devalues the word class if you win in a situation you'd be expected to, in the way you'd be expected to.Quote:

When we've got only 10 men on the field? Sure, doubly so if that player is Joe Gamble. Idiot though he may be, with him on the field we would've swept aside your little blip and continued playing the way we were, all over you.Quote:

I dont think ye're best 11 was playing tbh.
4-3-3 ?????? 4-5-1 with Baker and O Keeffe pushing on when you broke. Grant was the only one who was pushed up 'most of the time' (And did a great job in tying up our defence and caused them trouble all night in fairness).Quote:

You should have won 4-0. There were a couple of very bad misses and with us going forward constantly I'm surprised ye didn't.Quote:

Drogs were - and pleanty of cork fans in the pub lastnight agreed with that.Quote:

Mathews is under serious pressure down there now - spoke to two cork lads who reckon he;ll get the bullet before the season finishes despite having a couple of years contract
Rubbish. Not a hope he will. Couldnt afford itQuote:

When you're at a club like Cork City, you're always under pressure. Unfortunately Mathews has a 3 year contract and we're busy paying off our last manager, so I can't see it happening barring omission from Europe.Quote:

We were, we had scored you had not. So it was 1-0 to us. Basic maths actually. Keep up kiddoQuote:

I really shouldn't have expected honesty, should I?
you people woulndt know honesty if it slapped you in the face .We were much the better side last nite FACT .We scored 2 goals and you scored none FACT , our keeper hadnt a save to make .The only half chance i remember you having was mooneys bicycle kick .Thats was it , your superstar Boy george was totally anonymous for the whole game .The article written in the evening echo was a total disgrace , i hope the author enjoyed the game :DQuote:

I thought we done that fairly comfortably really and then scored a goal that was somewhat against the run of play, yes. Sorry for scoring it and not following your script!
Of course then Gamble got the red. That obviously knocked yous but I though for the rest of the game we were very good and very comfortable. We got our 2nd goal and created many many other chances which we squandered with terrible finishing and some good defending (MNS on monday should tell all).
Sure Cork had spells of pressure in the 2nd half - afterall you were 2-0 down at home! - but in all that our keeper didn't have to make 1 save, and again to suggest "constant pressure", Gav, is not very "honest" now is it.
57'
Athlone 0 v 2 Dundalk
Cassidy 33'
Duffy 36'
Full time 3-0, Cassidy 79'
Dundalk move five points clear.
Will this be their year?
In short, no. If memory serves me right, they made a similarly impressive start last year and chokedand I'd expect the plastics to do the same this yearQuote:

Once again Sligo fans cover themselves in glory in Finn Park.
And you come on a forum to whinge about a birthday wish been read out during the game. Priceless.
:rolleyes:, I'm neither of the two that ran on so can't speak for them so why should I highlight that?Quote:

I'm not defending the lads, but they did not go on to make fun of the special olympics kids, this is been blown way out of proportion.
In a word, hopefully.Quote:
