Rovers are woeful, a patch on last seasons squad.
Dundalk are getting the balls down and playing some nice neat football, well deserving of the lead.
Also, games in daylight are just crap for atmosphere.
Bayly should have been sent off as well. Yellow card for trying to headbutt Dundalk player. Only thing kept him on the pitch was that the dundalk player didn't make a meal of it.Quote:

Rovers going down :p
Games on a sunday are a terrible idea in general. Nobody is interested. People would much rather go on a Friday night. Going on a Sunday afternoon is far more time-consuming and seems like a real put off. Just look at the crowd today, fairly poor. The Louth Derby only had 2,500 at it when usually well over 3,000 would have turned up if it was on a Friday.Quote:

You're right. But isn't it depressing that we're at a stage where you're congratulating players for not acting like cheating cowards. Anyway....Quote:

Dayos love letter to Rovers/ open broad cast of his application for MON`s job in his commentary on today`s game was hilarious`. At one point after the Rovers player had head butted his Dundalk opponent, Dayo pipes up with a misty eyed ..." theres a shamrock Rovers way of losing games ...in a dignified way ..." (as he wipes away tear with green and white flag) or words to that effect. Even my Mrs, who hates football , laughed away at that one.
Said something similar after the 14th hoof towards Dan murray to the effct of "Shamrock Rovers won't go down without a fight"Quote:

2-0 wasnt a fair reflection of the game they should have won by more. Mannus and Bayly both should have gotten red cards. Dundalk played all the football and were well worth the win.
Don't think anyone would disagree with that. Total shambles. But that's what you get when you know your top striker will be out for some time and don't get cover onboard. Good chat with a few Dundalk lads in the Maldron, see you for a pint next time.Quote:

Sean Connor couldn't win a game against a Dublin side all season last year and Foster does it in his first attempt, away from home. Something very wrong there!
Interesting to see both Chris Turner and Thomas Stewart at the game today.
Turner was out training with the Rovers squad when we got there and Twigg ran a couple of laps too.Quote:
