    It certainly took a league title to remind the Dundalk public that Dundalk FC were worth following at home

    Just on the first half yesterday - and I'm not quibbling about Dundalk having the best of it - but it's worth bearing in mind that City were facing into a driving blizzard, Dundalk had it to their backs. A yellow or orange ball might have helped! Further, some of the players had the whole Miller situation in their heads.
    On the evidence from the season's opener, the four league meetings between the two are going to be fairly tasty.

    Cork seem keen not to be seen as a one man band this season judging by the outcome. Hard to read too much into the result as it's not taken that seriously, but you'd imagine a few words will be said in training this week amongst the Dundalk staff and players about how the match played out.

    Judging by the number of sickness and injury reports coming out of Dundalk they must be happy they have Bray first up.

    Sean Hoare - out with a hamstring injury
    Stephen O'Donnell - a few weeks away
    John Mountney - out
    Sean Gannon - more than likely out

They’re a nightmare to play against, and I mean that as a compliment. Playing with just two defenders and no defensive midfielder against Cork proved a challenge, but maybe if we’d signed one or two more defensive players instead of 17 attacking midfielders we’d be better balanced.

    Good crowd up from Cork for once…. Does it just take a league title win to convince the langers that their team is worth following away? ;-)

    I don’t think there was ever any question of it getting remotely close to be called off. For once there could be no complaints about the pitch which played better than a grass one would. Yeh, the ball held up a touch when the snow stuck on the pitch, but no more so than playing on a grass pitch in heavy rain, e.g. TC last season. Visibility wasn’t great when it was snowing heavily but you could see the length of the pitch
    They'd be a lot more there if Oriel wasn't such a dump

    Whatever about the others, Adorjan and Benson would not have been able to turn up to watch the match if they had flu, let alone play for some of it. Man flu maybe...

    What? No way! This is the first we've heard of it...

    Seriously though, Dundallk fans are probably even more ****ed off than away fans with the state of Oriel at this stage. Sunday really showed it up for the state that it is, two options to get to the shed 1) walk through a big puddle and get wet feet or 2) up the mucky hill to avoid it!

    All you renters should count your blessings

    You have the money. If you put in even half the amount Rovers sunk into Tallaght before the council rescued it you'd be in great shape.

    That puddle is ridiculous, surely a bit of tarmac can sort that?

    Would have thought so, beyond ridiculous at this stage.

    Also the main entrance to the ground is another muck fest. The previous owners did so much good but the fact that puddle is still there is inexcusable

    How come after 5 years of owning dfc are paul and Andy given a free pass over the puddle and lack of minimal improvements in oriel especially away section and peak6 are here a month and people are clamouring them for major upgrades and fixing said puddle.

    Martin Connolly said at the US lads q&a last Sunday week that that puddle would be fixed before the season starts so i guess we'll give him(and the new lads) the few days to get that sorted.

    Seen this pic from Oriel park from yesterday just a few mins ago.Coldest ever i remember at any ground ...apart from Bray

    I find it mad that a white ball was used in that. Must've been difficult

    Reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d48a6MDmCBM 1.30mins in after the orange ball burst. I wouldnt be surprised if there wasnt an orange ball available on Sunday. The photo above makes the away section look packed!

    I know outspoken touched on this earlier, but Rogers was awful for the first goal - and I think he should be claiming the cross for the second too. Six-yard box is the keeper's territory; a cross like that shouldn't be allowed find its way the whole way across it.

    And those of you with control of your leases & the funds to do so should improve your facilities.
    Up to now the excuse was Dundalk didn't have control of the lease. That was sorted but still nothing was done.
    At least you could have removed the dead rodents.
    Its obvious that peak6 have no interest in doing anything with Oriel so for the foreseeable future it will remain a dump.

    Incidentally credit to Dundalk for putting up the goals from the Presidents Cup.
    Did Dundalk have to get written permission from the FAI to allow you to do that ?

    They have our third and fourth goals the wrong way around there.

    I don't know if the FAI ever considered live streaming the match? but as someone mentioned above(internet not strong enough i believe was the quote)there is no wi -fi on the shedside of the ground where the camera gantry is positioned.
