TBF It was a banker penalty. :confused:

Absolutely brilliant game in Tolka tonight. More worthy of TV time than most of the premier games shown so far this year. Loads of talking points from the ref, in both directions being fair about it. There were always goals in the offing for both teams but I think if Shels had kept pushing after our sending off, they would probably have won it. Sitting back as they did just gave us confidence and I don't think anyone could be too surprised that we got the goal at the end. As GalwayRed said, it was a good crowd and a decent atmosphere too.

Although my main recollection from this game are the wild celebrations from Drogheda for getting one point at home against a 10 man Dundalk team.

Normal service resumed.

Wouldn't you be if you scored a last minute equaliser against your biggest rivals?

Thank god at least someone picked up on that :confused: Are Dundalk fans that daft that they couldnt see the signifigance of us not only picking up a point last night but especially because it was in the last couple of mins .I for one celebrated wildly and have no voice today . Nice behaviour by your fans throwing a firework at our players though . Well done :rolleyes:

Drogheda did very well to secure the point with the late goal. Naturally Drogheda fans celebrated this equaliser, and fair play to them.

I think the point that WH was making was more got to do with the fact that Drogheda were relieved or maybe excited to get the draw at home to Dundalk, for the second time this season, playing against 10 men.

Over the seasons derbies Dundalk have taken 8 points to Drogheda's 2 - it is pretty clear where any Co Louth bragging rights lie.

you are aware of the fact that we put together a team in 3 wks after being on the brink of extinction arent you .Im just happy to still have a football club to watch every fri .If we survive in the prem this season it will be a miracle .I look forward to the day that both clubs are on an even keel , would have been great to have you in the prem for the last 7 years when we winning the leauge etc .

1 League, and 1 Cup in 7 years - That is some haul of trophies! I applaud you

You were within your rights to celebrate wildly after pulling that match out of the bag cause it was looking like you wouldnt have scored by christmas considering the amount of chances missed. It is good to see that Jamie Duffy is still as good a player for Drogheda as he was for Dundalk...

Sending off was tough, Burns wasnt last man so yellow was appropriate. Not a great game tbh.

Overall disappointing to concede so late but a draw was a fair result, and a good point for Drogheda. It is bit odd being herded across the pitch to get out of the ground!

Your memories of these occasions will be decades ago too one day you know :p
Jamie Duffy is all puff and no product, last season, and any time ive seen him this season. His only significant contribution last night was to make gestures to the Dundalk support which provoked the abuse he got late second half. Bet he is well annoyed at missing that free header from 8yards for the equaliser...

I note you made no comment on my observations on the game so i presume you agree with me

He's scored a few important goals for Drogs this season hasn't he?. He was a good player for us when on loan from Rovers in 2007 too.

It's good to hear that Jamie Duffy is doing well for you, although not all Drogheda fans I know share your enthusiasm.

In the first 10 games for Dundalk last season Jamie was on fire, and then his form dropped dramatically, being reduced to showboating and fancy-dan runs into blind alleys. In a crucial end-of-season game against Limerick he lost possession needlessly in midfield that led directly to Limericks winning goal - pretty much summed up his form in the second half of the season.

He is a limited player and can be quite frustrating .But he has been one of our better performers this season .He cross for the goal in bray last wk was class and hes capable of some very creative play . His end product does indeed leave alot to be desired .But hes all weve got and were fighting for our lives so its hard to criticise him .

I didn't hear any monkey chanting, just booing. I understand others did, both on TV and at the game, but I don't know whether it's true or not.

That means Harps have now taken points from all of the top four. Great performance from the young Harps after two heavy beatings.

Many thanks for the link eL Bettor.
