brutal stuff. That pitch is going to be worth a few points to Dundalk over the course of the season.

are there any proper speed demons in the league of ireland? i can't think of any.

**SkStu** · 06/03/2009, 7:21 PM

Brendan Markey was a proper speed demon back in the day. Speed, ecstacy, you name it...

That wasn't great that first half. Not many chances or creativity, no flow to the game.

**sligoman** · 06/03/2009, 7:22 PM

What a game, I'll never get those 45minutes back

20.22: Half-time at Oriel Park and it remains scoreless in a very even encounter. Meanwhile, Seamus Coneely is booked at Richmond Park for time wasting, despite there only being 35 minutes played.

Galway tactics working a treat....on a separate note emailed extratime.ie to see what was happening at Tolka...

20.23: "Absolutely nothing happening here at Tolka Park, except for not having an internet connection in the press box" -Gordon Hunt, reporting at Shelbourne v Wexford Youths

Come on the youths....

Totally agree, i think it will make a huge difference and i don't think its fair really when you do think about it.

Any less fair than the Showgrounds pitch on its worst days?

There are awful pitches all over the league, just because its plastic doesnt automatically make it unfair

i think dundalk and bohs are a disgrace. imagine a nice open attacking game, it would get the casual fan at least remotely interested but no hoof ball hoof ball hoof ball
