Pitch was terrible in Tolka.
Great goal by Philly but cant believe how negative we were in the second half with the man advantage. Fair play to Rovers kept trying and got their reward.
LOL atthe Sligo player diving near the end. Comical just comical and the fans baying for a red card :)
We'll see next week in Dalyer if it is our new weekly tradition.Quote:

What's the problem with the pitch? Its no carpet but it certainly was no furrowed field.
Was the pitch the reason for your players attitude?
There are idiots following every club.Quote:

Random, ad hominem attacks aside, do you seriously think that's a fit surface for professional football?Quote:

Your own league-winning side - one of the most attractive footballing teams to grace the LoI - would have had a fit if they had to play on that.
True enough it was a poor surface.
Fans never want to admit stuff like that on here which is understandable.
Sligo fans spitting on Paddy Kavanagh according to him,disgusting if true.
I was talking to club officials very recently and they make the same 'ad-pitchium' arguments you do. There just isn't the money to put it right. That's it; stop whinging about the pitch unless you have some concrete (not literally) suggestions on how to fund the improvement.Quote:

The pitch certainly doesn't explain North's amateur dramatics late in the match - diving fool - God help your club with a prima donna like that.
Junior clubs have to deal with this problem and make a better job of it in many cases -- there's no money is a serious kop out.Quote:

First division table makes for interesting reading. We're mid-table. Not too bad.
In other news, Keith Cowan was taken off on stretcher and taken away in an ambulance. Dirty Limerick scum, absolutely dirty challenge, doesn't deserve to ever play football again, rotten stuff, hope he breaks his leg.
Not a good start by Sligo, are they going to fall behind early again this season. Quigley, North and Cretaro at the same club, it will be interesting to see what influence they will have as the season develops. Great attendance at Derry, but the other gates Pats especially should have been bigger.
It was a pretty harsh sending off. It was a lazy tackle but no malice was intended nor was he studs up. Warranted a yellow at most.Quote:

I reckon we would probably have lost that game last season
He wasn't taken away in any ambulance, he went into the ambulance and then got back out of it.Quote:

No way you could have even seen the challenge properly from where ye were in the ground.
As for the last statement we have had enough of that with ye already.
Get your facts right before you start talking complete bull.
Link to his twitter please? I assume that's where he said it?Quote:
