We see houses at the back of The Showgrounds on every visit.

Afaik, our ground in Tallaght is the only one in the division, that's not at the back of a housing estate.

There was a housing estate there but it was nicked.

Since when..

They've kicked on incredibly since last year while we went into a decline that looks like ending up in the wilderness next year as mypost has pointed out.
It kills me to say it but fair play to them. If the shoe was on the other foot I'd be rubbing their noses in it big time.
We have no excuses for the game against Pats. We've used them all up long ago. Paul Cook needs to drag a performance out of this team and I hope to God he can do it.

Played a lot better than the previous 2 games against shams but not reflected in the scoreline , went to get the lucozades just prior to half time and missed both goals their third was a gift. The new guys played well as did Kelly in central midfield boco looked good there also , Cash had one of his better games but still struggles to beat defenders , thought we were very commited and showed great effort and workrate overall so with a few players back next week we should start the charge up the table. I don't think holmes is up to the pace in this divsion he always need 2 touches and is a liability at left back he may be better off on the wing and play Keohane at the back.

To be fair poor auld Dublinred had a bad view of the game, as he got stuck in the bar under the stand for most of it

Missed 4 mins of the game and 2 goals , didn't say we were brillant but having seen us play shams 3 times this season that defo was the best performance against them, its was nice to see all 11 players on the pitch trying hard for a change instead of 8/9 and a few passengers , Boco in midfield has got potential, Blinkhorn looks like he can hold the ball up which will be great when raf is back.

Just watched the highlights today, we actually didnt do to bad going forward, played better than we did against Cork but our defense were very reluctant to go into a tackle, just goes to show how much we need Peers and Ventre, not everyone likes to see him go into a tackle considering hes seen red 3 times this season, but him and Peers are currently the best we have and are the only 2 defenders with us that give 100% and always try and stop the player going forward, but now players are attacking us with ease, look at 2 of Vllaznia's goals and the 3rd goal for Shamrock Rovers.

Why has Raf not started the last 2 games ? injury ?
