G.Kelly, Duffy and Mountney with the goals, seemed a decent week they had in Spain. Today's opposition although finished lowly in Swedish top div, they are expected to do better this season.

The 3-0 defeat to the Austrian side on Monday was disappointing but they are second in their league and half way through their season.

Longford at home next for Dundalk on Tuesday.

Shels the latest put to the sword tonight.

Dundalk should be very scared indeed.

Drennan could prove to be a brilliant signing for Pat's.Shels don't seem to have clicked yet judging by their last 2 albeit friendly results.

If Dundalk don't trounce Longford on Tuesday night i'll be crapping me nappy! :)

They were relegated last season. Would be very unfair for them to be expected to finish higher in the top division when they won't be in it.

My bad, this is correct, they lost their relegation play off and did go down in Nov.

Since when did getting relegated mean you won't be playing in the premier the next season!!!

was up at the game in mayfield. no other town fans I could see. we played extremely well. mind you cork gave us a handy og. thought in the second half we were solid defensively as cork had the majority of the chances. lee stacey was superb in goal!

Did Steacy get his name on the back of the jersey?

Ha Keane and Sonia I’ll grant you. I’m not aware of any Cobh connections for the other two?

I was struggling to come up with famous Cork people tbh.

Yeah that was an unfortunate own goal alright, could see it happening though. Was impressed by ye alright. We could've got back into it second half but Grace was brilliant in goal. Nice meeting you too today Marty.

First preseason game of ours I've been to and I wasn't impressed at all. Really like the look of Daire O'Connor though, could be a very important player for us.

Anyone know if the Presidents Cup Final is live on tv next Sat ?

Chance for Cork to go for 4-in-a-row I think, we def lost the last two, almost sure we lost in TC in 2016 too.

0-0 between Galway and Shamrock R in Drom tonight. Looks like the Hoops will have a strong team this year(on paper anyway). I would be a bit more hopeful for Galway, after what I saw than I have been. Real lack of LoI experience in the Galway squad however, and this was a friendly and only game I have seen. I would estimate 20 plus Shamrock Rovers fans there.

Have to give a shout out to those 20, we had a friendly in dublin at 11:30 against Cabo and t he egg chasing was on at the same time as the Galway friendly .

I'm pretty sure it's never been televised (?), so I'd assume not.

FAI have done a live stream in the past

Highlights from yesterday's friendly between us and longford.

Love the lad after coughlans miss "right at him you f***ing numpty"😂

Steacy was tweeting about names and numbers on jerseys and they should be compulsory in LOI. Heard someone call him the new McGlade already when it comes to twitter haha

Keane is actually from Mayfield, he grew up near where this game was played. Sonia is 100% from Cobh.

Micheal Martin is from Turners Cross itself. His constituency office is on Evergreen Road (where most of the pubs near Turners Cross are). Denis Irwin I believe is from Togher, a city suburb quite close to Turners Cross.

It probably should be. Even from the perspective of getting kids to know players easier.

spoke to a cork city taxi driver who follows cork city that you can see roy keanes parents old house across the road from mayfields pitch!

Waterford 1-2 Bray Wanderers. Trialist I think for Waterford, Doyle and a late Ellis winner for Wanderers.

QUB 0-1 UCD

Just cos we're different like that

The Trialist brothers have been banging them in lately.

Athlone the latest but by no means the last team on the receiving end of a total football masterclass from Pats. 3-0 tonight.

Hand over the league now.

Glenavon 2-2 Harps, O Reilly and Harkin for us

Dundalk 2 Longford 2. I never read too much into pre season but we’re clearly too good for the First Division and it’s best for everyone if we’re promoted now.

Hope you’ve been working on a dvd full of bull. The licensing farce of a committee love it. Allegedly bad 90’s graphics is the only way into the premier divisionwhen you didn’t earn it.

Decent enough game in oriel tonight.Dundalk decent in the 1st half and start of the 2nd.Subs had the usual impact of unsettling the original starting xi but Dundalk,well you'd think would have enough quality to counter that but it did upset how they were playing a bit.
Take nothing away from Longford.Decent passing side who look well coached and had our defence chasing their tails at times.A quid or two each-way on them to win the 1st could be a worthwhile punt.

Dundalk made a lot of changes, but I have to say Longford were decent tonight, this is two big results they have had in pre season, 3-1 win away to Cork and 2-2 at home to the double winners.

Friendlies maybe, but they obviously have a good set up about them.

QUB are only one game away from an Irish Cup quarter-final against another non-league team (Larne Tech Old Boys).

Do you know if they played their full squad ?

Derry hammered Ballinamallard 7-0 away tonight.

Quite a few new signings in the Derry team.
