Elding wasn't even listed by some bookies on the Top Scorer odds prior to the season starting, he's now looking like clear favourite after 3 games.Quote:

Elding was 14/1 into 11 /1 before the off well supported down here because he was scoring for un in training and confirmed his ability at home V the Glens.
Danger being..he could have a start to the season that is all too good that he gets picked up by an English team in the summer.
Is that not because he was signed late?Quote:

Thanks to the Dundalk fans for the nice comments about Rovers. I don't think we were that great TBH and but for a world class save from Gary Rogers (don't miss this on MNS) when it was 2 nil , it could have been a different outcome. Dundalk are exactly what a Stephen Kenny team will always be (when he's working for a proper football club), well organised, great work etrhic and don't stop playing. Elding is a revelation and when you consider that Joseph, Ventre and North were sitting in the stands, I suppose we should be well happy. Unbelievable change in the whole set up at Oriel since last season and great to see 2000 on a cold Tuesday night. It's onwards and Upwards for Dundalk now and we will make you as welcome to The Showgies as you did us tonight.
That's not a very nice or accurate assessment of Dunfermline.Quote:

Wouldn't be the first really. Harps take fans from Tyrone and Fermanagh, even heard of fans as far as Dublin and further. Sligo take fans from south donegal and Mayo/Leitrim, Derry take in parts of North Donegal, etc etc.Quote:

Well we're not very good... We do insist on shooting ourselves in the foot though (one, maybe two deflected goals to help Limerick on their way)
Thomond Park's a great venue for the LoI, even mostly empty (although if Pat Dolan ever says "Build it and they will come", he should be directed here and soundly beaten, and I mean that with no disrespect whatsoever to Limerick).
Match organisation still seems a mess though. I had my name on the gate, but no-one seemed to know anything about it. Got directed from one gate across the ground to reception, to the ticket booth via a confused radio call and then back to the gate I'd originally been at, where I was given out to for not being there 15 minutes earlier (even though I had been) cos it was a big event they were running and they hadn't time for last-minute stuff. All a bit amateur hour.
Guaranteed sell out if you put that as the half-time show!Quote:

Add to that the conditioning coach the players worked with in the off season and Bara has put together a fit, capable and talented squad. A squad far ahead of last seasons imo.Quote:

Were Sligo overlooked??
I, and most people I know, had them down as being well out on top with Shamrock and Pats.
Think the only real question mark anyone had was around whether McMillan would do as a replacement for McGuinness.
Well, overlooked in the sense that a lot of the build up was about how Shamrock had strengthened at Sligo's expense and were bookies favourites. The loss of McGuinness and Quigley in particular sort of cast a shadow over Sligo. But if anything they look like they could be stronger than last year (only 3 games in granted).Quote:

Added to that how Elding has hit the ground running and the experience of Keane, Ventre, Rogers, N'Do and you have a pretty formidable outfitQuote:

Although a top class save from Rogers at 2-0 and an unbelievable miss with an open goal from Ward with 10 to play fceked us up!
We should have been 4-0 up at half time, and had one or 2 chances in the second half. We played well but just couldtn finish the game. Sava played a blinder, game of his career. Of course when you dont take chances your open to being punished and we were unfortunatelyQuote:

I would have said so last season. I haven't seen Sava yet this year but Barry Murphy has had a magnificent start, which I'm still finding hard to believe.
Barry Murphy or no Barry Murphy, Sava is still the best keeper in the league by a long way. Absolutely top class.
Sava has a tendency to let in the odd shocker though. As far as I know, no team challenging for the title has ever tried to sign him.
Sava is ****e lads.
I've always liked him. He makes some outstanding saves, but perhaps he's just a match of the day player.
Sava is a good shot stopper but his kicking is woeful.
I wouldn't swap Gary Rogers for any other keeper in the league

Tommy Gorman is on the committee and was one of the headliners who changed the chairman after Cook left and made it possible for us to win the league. Tommy is the real deal. Minger, on the other hand, may have visited a few times while in RTC, in search of cheap grass.Quote:

I suppose in terms of news in the off-season, Limerick and Shamrock created the most to attract the headlines. It's early yet though as you say.Quote:

We are in massive massive trouble this year. Our team, under Mathews, is going no where fast. I just pray that UCD and possibly Bray dont improve.
Ahh, only three games in .... he'll turn it around alright, you have to give him credit for that to be fair.Quote:
