I thought Deady struggled a little to be honest. The pace of the game caught him out I think but that's understandable as he's never played Premier Division as far as I'm aware. He is a worker though and has a good touch so he should grow into it hopefully. Of the new lads I was quite impressed with Powell and Ben Mohamed has a trick or two that could come in handy. Pleased for Willie Tyrell who did well at CB after a long injury lay off too.
Eh you new to this forum?Quote:

Looking forward to my trip to the CCS, hope it's not raining though and the pitch has no divots or bumps, would hate to have to come on here and complain about the obvious!
God knows I'm not a fan of the pitch at oriel but for crying out loud I'm sick of hearing about it at this stage.. I suggest a temporary forum ban for people who mention it anymore.. or create a thread on its own where people voice their complaints so it won't spill over into every other thread on here
All Dundalk fans would be banned, they mention it more than everyone elseQuote:

In fairness though lads, that pitch up there in Dundalk... Shocking!
Champ10ns! :)
Good! Shrewd move maximising home advantage. Not unlike clubs not cutting the grass (or watering or not watering the pitch... snigger) v teams who like the ball on the deck. No excuses for the standard of the away terrace, it needs investment. There was a time where access to the bar was allowed from the away terrace but unruly behaviour by certain clubs' supporters put a stop to that. Also letting people on the terrace in to the stand in poor weather was also stopped due to an unfortunate accident in the stand a previous season.Quote:

A much better idea would be to build a new covered terrace behind the goal close to the away section. The same place where the temporary stand was put up for the EA Sports Cup final and the final league game v Cork.Quote:

I was in the stand myself. €20 is steep enough, €15 for OAPs too. Still it was a good trip all in all. Hadn't been there before.
I was allowed to get food.. I think people are on about crisps and minerals!Quote:

Minerals available from the van, not sure about crisps but it's just moaning for the sake of it at this stage! Getting embarrassing nowQuote:
