Frustrating but important to keep behind team now...they have been on a great run and cant really be faulted.Should have been much quicker to get ball into the box.Ground is a bit of a kip alright and if it is necessary to keep away fans locked in for almost 30 mins after the match some action should be taken against Dundalk.
Cmon the bit o red

the gards locked us in because there were a few dundalk schoolies hanging around some shop and usually there looking for hasslewhat do you mean that sligo fans were locked for a long time after the match? they were ****ed out of their skulls...
on the game, i too thought it was a mistake bringing meenan on and moving boco back. he seemed very annoyed at the decision too, probably would have put keane right back, peers centre back and kendrick left back, and put rommy in the middle of midfield. cooky done what he thought was right though and maybe he'll hold his hand up and say he made a mistake.
once they were down to 8 men the referee gave us nothing. he punished us in a sense for their indiscipline. trying to even it up a bit after they had 3 sent off. 2 were definate reds, the elbow on raff and the 2 yellows for heary. id have to see turners again. dunno where it hit him tbh. the ref was a disgrace after the 2 red cards and we got nothing from him then.
still cant use that as an exucse we should have been creating chance after chance but in truth the keeper had 1 maybe 2 saves to make. we were by far the better side until the sendings off. have to get the heads up for tuesday though, derry have damn all to play for, theres unrest in the camp and they're losing games. we're still the form side on the league apart from shams and maybe bohs, unbeaten in 14 or so now i think. we can beat derry and then hopefully enjoy friday night, and barring a replay we'll have a week to get ready for bohs then. still ahead of pats so not alls lost
S**t Roads, S**t Ground, S**t Pitch and most of all S**t Burgers. Are all away trips like that or was it cause I was actually sober for this one!!!
Anyway as for the game you have to be happy with the point, Im probably more disappointed with the way the other games went on the night. Dundalk with 8 men done well and hats off to them. But we were never going to beat them with Marshall and Doyle on the wings. Especially Marshall, everytime he got the ball the game seemed to stop, no pace and he cant beat Mansaran in a one-on-one ffs.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
marshalls done a job for us in recent weeks, scoring against galway and the assist v bray. played very well in setanta cup too.
Martinho 11. Do you not understand English when I said we were locked in after the match and not only that the lights were turned off with only the pitch lights left on. The Sligo fans held in that compound area were very well behaved and apart from a few funny remarks made to the guards it was all very peaceful. You are the type of person that comes on here without a clue of what the situation was, so do us all a favour and get your facts right next time you go to print. I spoke with several Dundalk fans before and after the game and they were delighted too see so many Sligo fans at the game.what do you mean that sligo fans were locked for a long time after the match? they were ****ed out of their skulls...

Fight, fight, fight.......Is it just me or is that not a serious over reaction to what was obviously just a joke from Martinho??
On leaving the ground I went over to one of the Gaurds to ask why we were kept in the ground for so long. He said a group had gathered down the road and they wanted to disperse them before letting us go. Fair enough really, id rather stand around for a few extra minutes than have hassle leaving the ground.
Dundalk going down to 8 men was more of a hinderence than a help for us. Once their third player was sent off, anytime there was a chance of us scoring the ref blew up. If Dundalk had lost that game they would have created holy hell and the ref knew that, with the game finishing at 2-2, Dundalk are delighted with their heroics and the referee is less of a talking point, even tough Dundalk were lucky to finish the game with 8.
yeah we should of won, but it was a bizarre game.
We'll take the point and move on to the next.
Would you complain as much if we got out early and you had about 10 local gypos knocking seven shades of sh**e out of ya?
yeah the referee gave us nothing after the 3rd man was sent off.
it wasnt our fault they had 3 red cards, he more or less punished us then by giving them everything to try and even it up
The Tubber Hooligans would have pasted that crowd

hit him marty!!can you not take a joke at all?
haha
the replays showed how bad the referee was. not for the sending offs, but how in gods name he didnt give us a penalty for the gaelic like block from shaun kelly with his hands i'll never know, he was 5 yards away from it. and gave 2 other penalties for handball, which wernt half as bad as that one. what an idiot.
wtf was connor doing about to get the team to walk off? idiot! 3 definate red cards. turners might have been the only one that was a little harsh, but the slow motion shows he moved his arm towards the ball and it wuda went in otherwise so you have to go. what was heary complaining about? most obvious yellow card you'll ever see. the ref was shocking for us imo for the last 20mins. and 5 subs, 2 penalties, 3 reds, about 2 or 3 injuries and then only 3 minutes added on. disgrace!
The last one was a joke and an obvious penalty/red card but I think if he gave it the game would then of had to be abandoned if Dundalk went down to 7 players.
63.00
If he could give a peno for hiting Dannys arm, then the one that hit Kellys arm was without question a penalty.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
believe me I might!
