The games against Rovers and Dundalk were expected defeats, not so much the manner of the Rovers game. The amount of goals being conceded and the lack of any attacking threat is worrying also. Friday against Harps is a hugely important game to hopefully kick start our season.Quote:

However, the players appeared to be firmly focused on Tallaght this Friday and just saw the game out.
Fair play to the a half a dozen Cork fans who travelled. They are in for a tough season.
It's a boo(t) in the arse some Dundalk fans need! Cleary was still wrong to have a go imo.Quote:

Lethargic performance from Dundalk, although the victory was never in any doubt - it was like a low tempo training spin.
Cork Sligo and Waterford all look very very average.
Mid table for harps, what will Ollie have to say ??
Ollies already looking at players for the first division next year!!!Quote:

The frustrations of the home support were vocalised when Cleary kicked the ball back to Rogers from half way on 55 minutes but things got a bit calmer when Dundalk were awarded a penalty after Kelly, who had been played in by Hoban, was fouled by Hurley.
More of a dismissive hand than a wave from Cleary but he shouldn't have reacted at all to that crap from the buzzards in the stand.:o(a very,very small % has to be said) Vinny will have a word in the guys ear i'm sure,set him straight.Quote:

3rd game of the season, win 3-0 to take 9 from 9 points. Cruised through the match tonight as there was no need to go full pelt, hardly horrendous!Quote:

Gerry is a bit madcap. Well intentoned but often blinkered. A character is probably how he'd be described. The PA tonight got a laugh with a 'Any time soon' comment for a sub coming on.
Seriously hard viewing once again tonight, as it has been since Perth took charge.Quote:

How would you sum that up?Eccentric or just someone who cant take criticism?(he cant)
I dunno?
Gerry is a nice guy and if you asked him(esp as an away supporter) he'd show you around Dundalk town tomorrow and then bring you up to OP for a tour-but he hasn't a clue when it comes to transferring the nice social skills he possess's to social media.
Enigma.
Dundalk fans have always been notoriously difficult to please! I saw a lot more tonight than early last season and we are only 3 games in - the final ball that was missing far too often tonight will start to click. Opposition is a factor as Dundalk didnt need to stretch themselves. It was encouraging that a whole lot of chances were created though not converted; as the season goes on I think we will be more clinical.Quote:

So its over to Talla on Friday 9 pts each, we played well in the same game last year but just lacked that bit of guile that comes from having done it all before. Have Rovers now got that guile. The cup win and another season under their belts with that core group of players will have certainly helped. Nice evening could see a record crowd for this fixture at this venue, should be a classic.
Jeezus H Christ, I hope we're this horrendous all season.Quote:
