5 games in 1 goal from open play for pats which was a pure wonder strike from Forrester out of nothing in Sligo. Not sure where the next goal is going to come from let alone next win. Grim stuff

Pats are so so ****e so far this year. Things are already so bad their own fans celebrated Bohs 2nd goal tonight by throwing toilet rolls on the pitch. (They may have been bohs fans in the home end given their huge support base)
Huge difference in mentality at Bohs this year. Fair play to Devine for ****ing out the players with the poisonous attitudes in the club (Aka Liam Burt amongst others) At least this year the club has players who want to play for the club
Dundalk excellent last night and Andy Boyle was Motm imo.
Coulda/Shoulda have won. Hopefully now bob benson is back we can start winning games that we draw or lose. -
Greg Sloggett another for a good mention,was excellent AGAIN.
Derry without Duffy look very blunt.
Yep, agree with that. Bohs worth the win and I must say Neil Doyle had a great game. Got every major decision right.Quote:

What would be the Saints' fans views be on Long?
A result like last night was waiting to happen. Being competitive in the first three games brought a false sense that everything was ok. It's all well and good wanting to play attacking football but the defensive structure has a be right. Especially against opponents like Galway.Quote:

The goal from a throw-in by the corner flag where your defence was asleep, the one the keeper dived over. A lot were down to individual errors but the way you were set up any individual error led to a chance for us.
Yeah very true on coach availability and with a rookie there is inevitable teething pains that can be avoided by bringing in someone who has experience.Quote:

Don't get me wrong there were good memories in there as well but it was the right decision to get rid of Long. Just look at the turn around of individual players within the Bohs squad like Coote and Flores. I would've been happy to see the back of them at the end of last season
Normally I would be very critical of the refs, but I agree Doyle had a great game and let it flow as best he could. Some very meaty but fair tackles that other refs would have blew up for and dished out cards. He handled the game very well.Quote:

Kerry as you say will have to go more defensive in certain games and there is nothing wrong with that. It's pointless hoping to draw a Shamrock Rovers at home in the FAI Cup if the defensive setup isn't there to at least compete as best as possible.Quote:

happy to see the ref getting some praise at Richmond but the officials really dropped a clanger in the lead-up to Bohs' second goal. You can't be offside from a corner kick

Rolling ball too.
You must have been watching a totally different game than everyone else.Quote:

I heard a Dundalk fan on the way out of the ground after the match saying how did we (Dundalk)get out of there with a point.
That could easily have been me you heard! I would have taken a point before the game but after the game I was very happy with it. We played well enough in the first half but most of the second half was a very good rearguard action. Derry had most of the ball and spent a lot of time around our box but lacked a clinical edge.Quote:

Outside looking in treaty united is not good.
Any suggestions what local players we should sign, I'm all ears.Quote:

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
a goal kick
a throw-in
a corner kick
