Good results for Dundalk Tonight, Now to get the finger out and push on for the rest of the season.:ball:
Galways first goal was a peach and to be fair they were the better of two poor teams in the first as both struggled to contend with the poor conditions. Players couldn't even turn at times, brutal stuff.
Rain held off for lots of the first half, through half time and first bit of the second. After the first goal went in for City i knew we'd do it, although some of the chances missed were shocking.
Great atmosphere for a very poor crowd, coming back like that the crowd was hopping playing into the shed. Great stuff and well worth the €15. If we had games like that every week i'd be a happy camper, although not with the same conditions.
Sweet baby jesus and the orphans.Quote:

Mind you, playing six defenders and a keeper in the 11 handicaps attacking options a bit.
Easy to see why Drogheda aren't at the races this season. Clearly better than us man for man, but just very lethargic and overall poor really. Hard to pin point it, but barring a ten minute spell where they tore us apart (starting with their equaliser), there wasn't a huge amount to choose between the teams; Drogs had more of the play, but did as little with it as we did. The winning penalty was bizarre - no appeal from anyone in the crowd or on the pitch; it genuinely took the Drogs fans five to ten seconds to realise they'd been given a penalty. Radio guessed handball, but called it "bizarre". Very very annoying to lose a point in such circumstances.
Poor crowd for the league champions too; only about 1200 I'd say.
As a UCD fan I doubt you ever really see teams at full pace. City were laid back half way to horizontal last week.Quote:

The second was well taken. But Pat Sullivan was caught cold and Devine was caught in no mans land. Great finish all the same.
I thought for a while it might be one of those nights. Ref was giving us nothing and we were unable to convert posession and chances. But once Mooney got the first, the doubt was in the Galway minds and I thought we could do it alright.
Fixed. :DQuote:

Read what i said, the first half was brutal and you couldn't say either team controlled it. I said it was down to the conditions.Quote:

The ref was so so bad last night it was unreal. We were just laughing at some of the decisions in the end. Chronic stuff all throughout the game.Quote:

Yes I did read what you said. You said Galway were the better of the two teams in the first half which I said was rubbish.Quote:

Yes he was bad. Gamble and Kearneys yellows were brutal. And I dont think you can appeal yellows. Ridiculous. Joeys was definitely a reputation booking.Quote:
