Town 1 up in Drogheda through "all time" top scorer Davy O'Sullivan after 2 mins
2-0 Town. Salmon. I'm sure there are other games going on too but if nobody can be bothered updating those scores then I'm not going to!
Athlone take the lead against Waterford Utd. Gavin Boyne with the goal
Drogs down to 10, Thornton sent off.
3-0 now Salmon again!
Wexford 4 up on Cabinteely all scored by Danny Furlong
Wexford 6 up. Fifth for Furlong.
Town win 3-0. Didn't expect that but delighted.
Wexford now 7-0
Great support for Cork this evening, a fine stadium and pitch, the best set up in the league. On the game, I always thought Dundalk were the better team and unfortunate for Cork that they met Dundalk with the title mood upon them.
Cork really have to rethink their approach.
If it is their ambition is to finish second, they are going great. However, if they want to win the league, they will have to start playing football.

Super win for Bohs up in Derry after going a goal down early. First win there since 'Nam or something too.
Have never won there after going a goal down.Last time we won there Paddy Madden scored!!!Quote:

What a great game. Fantastic from both sets of players. In relation to their goal Rogers needs to accept responsibility for being beaten at his near post. No keeper should be beaten at his near post. Boyle was guilty of indecision.
But what a reaction we took control of the game. Richie's first was a peach and the peno was as sweet. For Cork I expected more for all their pressure for the last 30 minutes I can only remember 2 or 3 time they tested us. As for their Healy and Miller midfield Jesus Christ where they mentioned in the second half
Great game and fantastic advertisement for the league. Also fantastic advertisement for us to. Pity or next home game is Monday week
Wexford 7 Cabinteely 0 with Danny Furlong scoring 5. The last player to score 5 goals in a First Division match was Pat O’Connor for Home Farm v Longford Town on the 11/09/1988
Who would have thought that Bohs would be in the mix and go 2nd with a win next week and be ahead of both Rovers. Ross Gaynor epitomises Corks clean image with some very well plucked eyebrows!
Harps still top with 7 clean sheets in 8 games. Unreal.
Hon the Town!
I think he misjudged the strange bounce off the pitch.Quote:

Dundalk are a quality outfit - probably the best I've seen visit the Cross - fierce annoying. 4-0 wouldn't have flattered them tonight. Still, a long way to go yet.
Couldn't agree more with you. **** poor tonight. I couldn't believe how physically stronger and fitter you were tonight against City. Clearly we have a way to go to catch up with you lot. Towell is a right tool though but what a player and any team in the league would love to have him. How long can you keep him though. Gartland is the heart of your Team. He fouls all the time but he is so experienced that he gets away with it. Good win tonight Dundalk.Quote:

Dundalk were better tonight. We didn't really play but no real problem with the result. I seriously dislike Daryl Horgan though. Also, I really want to like Richie Towell due to his quality but he makes it difficult by celebrating in such manner. I'd have no issue with him running to his fans, who've made a significant journey.
Why? Because he went to a club where he'll win league titles? You would think Cork City fans would give him a decent reception for the part he played in their promotion to the Premier Division. Short memories in football.Quote:

Interesting to make a quick comparison on Dundalk between this season and 2014 after 10 matches
2014 - 20 points (6-2-2); + 8 GD (19-11)
2015 - 26 points (8-2-0); +16 GD (20-4)
While comparisons can be crude because of different home / away opposition splits, there is no doubt that it is a really powerful start
Next up and to complete series 1, Bray visit Oriel Park on Bank Holiday Monday.
Great game to watch on the TV, I dragged my brother who couldn't care less for soccer to stay home with his Lithuanian girlfriend to watch the game and they enjoyed it, they were surprised by how fit an quick the players were, good job ;)
Fantastic start for Dundalk alright. It's beginning to look ominous for the rest. You would think (hope!) that they'll hit a blip at some stage.Quote:

What's the story with Warren, I saw him play a few times in the 1st Div and he looked a really good player?
[QUOTE=donnrua;1815832]Davy was quality, think he was with Waterford, Cobh, Cork over he's LOI career. He spent a few years with us fantastic player. He played against us in the Munster Cup in February and deservedly beat us. He must be mid 30's now?Quote:

Surely Sligo will get back to themselves at some stage. Their form this year is just mad, they should be so much better than they have been.
Yeah quality player in the 1st Div. Never seemed to be up to it at Cork City?
I think we are hoping it has happened conceding against Limerick in the last minute and coughing up points after being 2 up against Rovers. Though I think the way those points were dropped were the reason our game was lifted to take 3 points from Turners Cross.Quote:

Still playing MSL with Avondale. Not as prolific nowadays but still a very valuable player to have.Quote:
