It is probably a tad churlish to point out the flaw in your well thought out post - it hardly has escaped your notice that Dundalk are currently top of the league and bookies favourties to regain the title.

You may also be aware that on the goalkeeping front Dundalk have conceded the least goals of any team and have the most clean sheets.

A specific statistic about Gary Rogers that you may not be aware of, is that he has 15 clean sheets in 22 league games - an almost incredible shut out rate of 68%.

Jesus Ezeikal i was only having the craic. McNulty is better than Rodgers and that's good enough for me.

His pass to Hoban first visit Oriel was sublime indeed!

Ha! Sure he was only helping him settle back in.

In fairness to Hoban he bursts himself during games, really gives it 100% - has been a great signing for ye even if his strike rate v tops teams is poor.

Eh? He has scored against Cork, Shamrock Rovers, Derry, and Waterford.

Seen Matthew play for Irish colleges a few weeks ago, really good keeper

Has 2 goals in 8 games v teams in the top 4. Hasn't scored v Waterford. One of those was a very kind settling in gift from McNulty. Top player though and its a bit selective and I'm sure it will improve.

Really was, wasn't it? Another routine loss for Derry, mostly down to brutal defending. Only light of the night was the new Canadian siging, Ben Fisk, who had a decent game.

One issue at Tallaght, couldn't take a backpack in. Pretty ridiculous stuff, and the stewards didn't seem to have an explanation as to why. They seemed a bit embarassed about it, TBF.

Its the new stadium regs that all the stadiums that host big events in Dublin,might be everywhere but definitely dublin, are using now. Usually they just check the bags though

Yes its ridiculous I was queuing up and a family of Filipinos who were obviously on a first time visit (I'm guessing from all the family stuff advertised) were told the Maldron would take their bag....I did wonder would they bother coming back from the Maldren as the dad looked cheesed off.
AFAIK it was a directive from the FAI some time ago.

Are other grounds also at this or are we just being best boys in class?

Regarding the match your best midfielder has left and McEneff was suspended so I thought we should be winning but didn't expect it to be so easy.
Sheils was roaring at them for more effort especially to cover back (lots of looking away) but they seemed very low on confidence and just praying something would happen rather than going for it.
I thought Fisk looked excellent if he keeps playing at that level and you get a couple in the improvement will be quick

Bit pointless considering women can still bring their handbags in?

I'm calling in to Harps and Drogs on Friday on the way back to Donegal on Friday night. Do any Drogs fans reckon I'll have any hassle with them or will the local pub take them if not?

I'm sure they'll be happy to let in as many Filipinos as you like.
