Staying up!
Very clinical performance from Drogheda today. Longford weren't bad at all especially in the 1st half. We just managed to take our chances. We are very solid at the back and with Gary Deegan in front we are tough to break down. Dylan Grimes looks a tidy player for Longford.
Joe Manley was very poor for us. Aodh Dervin was very quiet for us too. I think Warfeild and Dean Byrne were massive losses.
Stick to the script. 10 points won’t keep ye up.Quote:

Looking forward to the game that Harps mathematically avoid relegation with games to spare this season. I can picture Ollie coming out with something along the lines of "Sure it's all well and good staying up this season but 2022 is going to be a very difficult job for us to compete with these sides again"Quote:

Looking at 2019 and 2018 final tables it looks like 30 or more points will leave a side safe from playoffs. Not that I’m counting ;)Quote:

Could they do a Leicester ???
He’s clearly offside from Bolgers shotQuote:

Whilst I'm still confident that Rovers will be in Europe next year, Im not exactly hugely confident that we'll get there in the champions league, based on last night's game against sligo.
As others have pointed out, based on squad depth, we should win the league, but its clearly not going to be at a canter.
Bradley needs to figure out his best team, especially in midfield and up front.
It's still early days I suppose but the fanatic in me is impatient for him to get it sorted.
We should beat Derry on Tuesday as they seem poor this season but the sharp incisive play upfront is still missing in my view.
1. Rovers
2. Pats
3. Harps
Another defeat to Finn Harps for Waterford. Looked like we had done enough for a decent away point when our former player Dave Webster scored in injury time after a corner broke to him. 2nd time already this season we have lost a game to a late goal.
Enjoyable game in The Showgrounds and I thought we were going to see the first nil - nil of the season in the Premier. Four rounds of games and most games with two or more goals.
8 points from 4 games, last season we had zero. Im sure Derry will be looking at that and hoping they can do a repeat of what we did.
Does Bradley even know how to be gracious. Thinks they should have won comfortably with enough chances to win two games.
After 4 or 5 rounds you'd normally see things settle down a bit but this season is nuts. Looking forward to it even if it is on a tv screen.
I just reread the law, Its the deliberate save clause of the rule that makes him offside, if the ball had come to Fugeria from a clearance or I think a deflection from a non goal bound ball, he was on.Quote:

Just looking at the Longford /Drogheda game not sure if Longford were missing a centre half but some really soft goals from crosses into the box, they'll get ate up in this league if they defend like that....
Paul Hegartys celebration for the second is just wonderful. Extra angles make things much better.

At least this time it was a former player and not a current player.Quote:
