Broken Leg!

Most cursed player in League history!

Back to the milkround with his auld fella so!

Sligo should have got all three points tonight. Galway were there for the taking. Good point for them.

tbh - not sure why they decided to show a game from this series of games - not really a stand out fixture that would entice the watcher to sit down and take in a game.

In a perfect world they would have used the opportunity to show one of the European ties involving our clubs next week instead - the Drogheda, Pats or Cork games would appeal more than a scrappy battle in front of cameras focusing a 3-quarters empty stand on TV - not portraying the League in the best light imo

Better any match than none.

**Conroy** · 11/07/2008, 8:49 PM

To quote the first post in this thread, "Dundalk to go top tonight"

o

basically, so they could give a few quid to gufc to help us with our cash difficulties at the moment

**oriel** · 11/07/2008, 9:40 PM

Dundalk 2 pts clear, nice edge to our game v Shels game in tolka next week.

**Mr Maroon** · 11/07/2008, 10:04 PM

I hope those of you on about our match on TG4 realise there is another stand that was at least 3/4 full.

I am not messing he actually missed more last week v Derry. Terrible crowd i would say max 1,200 at that game.

**Sam_Heggy** · 11/07/2008, 10:21 PM

O'Flynn went down to a nothing tackle, you could see immediately though he was in severe pain. Horrible stuff and Id like to wish him a speedy recovery.

Ref was a joke, worst I have seen in years, the "penalty" was a blatant dive by that blondie little tart Kearney who got up laughing afterwards. Some seriously laughable decisions (if it wasn't so feckin serious for us), we deserved at very least a draw from that game.

Encouraging performance from Harps, well organised at the back with only one of last weeks back 5 playing tonight. Only 5 of last weeks team played tonight and we looked good.

**cheifo** · 11/07/2008, 10:22 PM

Get well soon to John O Flynn.Hope injury is'nt as serious as it looked.
Harps looked a lot more organised and penalty looked more than a bit dodgy tbh-MNS will clear it up.
Please God, our injuries will clear up a bit.McCafferty looks on tonights evidence to be a tidy player and Byrne started well but went off after half an hour with an injury.
Looking forward to Sligo game next week.

You can thank the FAI for nobody knowing anything about our game. Up until Monday of this week, they made no mention of it being changed. The fixture list issued on Monday still had the game down for Saturday night. They then followed it up with this little gem:

"Please note one change to the FAI Fixture List issued earlier this evening: the Athlone Town v Longford Town match is scheduled for Saturday July 12th, not Friday July 11th."

In the attached fixture list they did actually have it down for Friday, but at 7:30 instead of 7:45. I know at least one national paper rang our PRO today to ask him what time our game was on at tomorrow.

**Longfordian** · 11/07/2008, 11:07 PM

Ha, I thought that might be the case. We had it on our site weeks ago that it was changed so I knew I had the right night. Aertel popped it up about half an hour into the game, which was nice of them.
