where would you be able to watch tonights game on-line (or would you)? away from home tonight so won't be able to watch it otherwise
If you have eircom broadband, you can watch it on their site
unfortunately i have irish broadband! i reckon it's updates on here for me so!
I hate when the games are on Setanta, I dont have either it or eircom Broadband :rolleyes:
Nil nil half time.
Good enough game. Pats the better side. Very strong wind. Pats were playing into it in the first half. Seems to be large crowd at it with good travelling support from Drogs.
Stuart Byrne missed a peno for Drogs on 90mins
Drogs 1 up through Zayed apparently.
Drogheda by far the better team.
Bradley and Stuey Byrne top class.
except for penalty miss
I thought Pats were better in the first half. Drogs were on top in the second but Pats had more chances in the second than Drogs did in the first. Extra time was when Drogs pulled away.
Great game to watch. Best I've seen this season by a long shot.
Drogs into final then?
yeah, really well contested game and plenty of good play.:ball:
Beat them already at United Park, I'm sure we can do it again... Anyway bring on the Rebels first.
Thought we were easily on top in first half but we tired very quickly and Drogs came into it. Horrible football from them though.
Eh I dont think so,if you saw the match Pat's were on top in the first half and were slightly better in the second.Created lots of chances but problems finishing.Quote:

Was at the game and thought the same thing, perfect for us with the extra time and all.Quote:

As a neutral watching this I thought the football Drogheda played was top class. I cannot see where the hell all the crap on here is coming from. They totally outplayed Pats for large periods of the game and fully deserved the result. Their midfield is awesome.
I forgot how much youse all loved each other!Quote:

I thought it was a definite penalty when Webb tumbled and I was glad for him that he played through seemingly unscathed from the abuse he suffered over the weekend.
I was surprised Zayed got MOTM. Granted a cracking goal, but for me Keegan and Grant were excellent while I thought Frost, Maguire and the goalie were the most consistent throughout for Pats. Hard for Pats to take a narrow defeat after their purple patch, but I the criticism of Drogs football is unjustified based on what I saw last night.
BTW, do I need to go to Specsavers (again) or were at least some of the Pats lads NOT wearing names on shirts, while the majority were?:confused:
Make sure you don't watch the final so. Winning streak might be good that night.:DQuote:

If Linfield get to the final, I would fancy us to beat Drogs but it will be a very close game and although I would be dissapointed if we got beat, I would rather lose to Drogs than any other team down south.
Your reserves?! **** off with that for a start.. (I'll grant you were missing a few but you had at least 6/7 that will start every game for you and even then your "reserves" cost more than our entire squad, even with our top earner out)
In the first half we played football, then we got tired and resorted to lumping it forward. Drogs were fecking time wasting in the first half (as they did the other times I've seen them this year). In the end you were too strong for us, and we were hanging on for penalties. Its not bitter to say that Drogheda play horrible football, but you're winning so everything's alright in your book (and would be in mine if it were Pats)
Personally i thought the first 15/20 minutes or so were terrible, real kick & rush stuff from both sides more or less, then Pats settled & by far dominated the first half, Drogheda would have had little to complain about going in at the break a goal down, however the fact they went in level is testament to their defending, made all the more nervous by their keeper who to me looks quite weak given the two performances i've seen in the last 5 days!
Second half was decent enough TV viewing for a neutral and to be fair i thought, like Drogs in the first half , Pats could have had no complaints being a goal down at the end of the second half, so to me the 90 minutes were pretty even!!
Extra time showed the difference between the sides though, there was always only gonna be one team likely to win it, personally i thought Pats would have needed penos to go through as they never looked like getting a goal IMO in ET, i said exactly that to Dr Nitedub after he texted me (suprised he had any fingers left TBH, nevermind fingernails he seemed that nervous:D)
All in all a decent game, suprised me TBH as i feared the worst after such an indifferent opening! Better side on the night overall won out IMO & fair play to the Drogheda support, on TV they could be heard throughout the game!
So that begs the question, Doc, wheres yer drum or has the monkey retired already!!?;)
Koh
Nope, still breaking drumsticks with the same regularity as ever. Not my fault if Setanta can't mic me up properly! ;)Quote:

Sod it anyway, it's a cup and we don't win cups.
You dont win leagues either:rolleyes: :DQuote:

No, not as many as 59 or whatever number it is that Linfield have won but we haven't been around as long as you lot. Our league is also competitive sometimes so we do alright.Quote:

Having said that, the game could really have gone either way, in fact I thought it was heading to penos. No-one's mentioned yet either what a good goal it was. I didn't realise what a super finish it was until I saw it back on TV later.Quote:

I fancy our chances of winning this now,Cork I'm sure will be tough but I'm confident we can beat them,Weve played Drogs twice this season and were the better team by far in both games but theyre still a good strong side. Bring on Cork :D
Despite their SC record, I'm very confident of Windsor victory.
From what I've seen of Linfield they really out-fought Derry and Drogs physically and if we can play a quick game, the Windsor Park pitch should suit us well.
Pats better first half and couldnt score:( .Drogs became stronger as the game went on and scored a super goal and missed a penalty .Lovely ! another final .There just like buses .But we didnt deserve it , we are are a ****ty hoof ball team :D That right Dodge :D
No matter what way you look at it there was only one difference between the 2 sides and that was Zayed, he was immense and only his goal got him my MOTM as if finsihed scoreless my MOTM was Maguire. No other player on your team would have scored that goal. We matched you in that we didnt concede circa 89th minute with your 1st shot like last season. And we created chances.Quote:

Tbh we couldnt ask for a better compliment than that considering we have a small squad and finished 7th and lost a cup final and signed 3 decent players.
If JMC can crack this type of defence then things are looking rosy, i expect Rovers to come to richer on friday and do the same thing hopefully that will be the cracking of ( in reality its just scoring 1st and making the other team come at us thus allowing us to play). But as Bohs and Drogs have proved we can be stopped from getting that goal.
