    We didnt exaclyt get off to the best possible starts lad! We lost our first two games, and couldnt put two results together. It was the middle of the season where we put together a decent run and flew up the table.

    In saying that, are you saying that Connor was unable to get any points accumulated from the matches between dundalk and sligo, and, dundalk and pats?

    P.S. Honestly cant remember any of those results.

    He picked up 7 out of 12 points from Sligo, 1 of those playing versus a Sligo team at Oriel with 3 men sent off with 30 mins to go! But on the other hand he was suspended for our win at the start of the season down in Sligo so Joe Miller gets that credit. Pats beat us 3 out of 4 times last season, we drew the other one nil all!

    i never suggested he did...my point was 2 teams i would have predicted to finish above Dundalk didnt because of their own inadequacies not Connor being a brilliant manager....they desereved to beat us that first game in Sligo..we won up in oriel..we were 3-1 with 20 mins to go and contrived to lose in the 2nd Showgrounds game..i was at the 2-2 in Oriel and strange as it may sound i think we would have won had Dundalk stayed with 11 or even 10 men..we were thet better team before it descended into a farce...i may be wrong Dillionman but i'd be happier with Foster if i was a Dundalk fan.

    I am and I am not if thats clear!! I am however willing to give the chap a chance to prove himself, unlike some who have written him completely off but with the lack of signings atm, him not actually in the country til tomorrow and no app bother to contact or sign any of our better players form last year and making fans hysterical and creating a cause for concern, our only signings to date are a 35 year old virtually unknown Englishman but I have heard of him from watching Gillette Soccer Saturday most weekends and Alan Cawley who Pats fans where happy to see the back off.

    One things for sure with Foster, he aint guna ask or spend money he hasnt got, he said it himself compared to Connor who needs a big budget. For example: Connor signed Michael McGinlay and didnt even release a statem,ent to say he was signed, he played in the Celtic friendly last February and was therer til the last game of the season. He gavce hima full time deal and played him 3 times all season as a sub, he barely got into the squad with youths getting in ahead of him and yet he was still kept the whole seaosn on a full time deal I must strive to point out and the chap was a waster, he was hammered every weekend in Dundalk's finest nightclubs and one incident summed it all up, he was found unconscience on top of a bin round the corner form a night club the night before an A side's away match and he was app the captain of that side!! This behaviour was tolerated non stop under a certain person so to sum up, I am happy we have Foster.

    PS Sorry for all the spelling mistakes, I write too quick!

    Wayne Hatswell, he was/is(whatever way you wana look at it as he is emploted with them til they find a replacement) Cambridge's player of the seaosn alst year and captain. He is our new number two/coach/centre half.

    Anyways to bring it back to topic, COnnor may well work a miralce at Galway and I for one am looking forward to our clashes as it will add of spice to the encounters.

    One things for sure, with reported Galway lads connected with joining us, this will prob change their minds and keep them at Galway for another seaosn.

    'A rake' is a pervcectly acceptable unit of measurement outside of Dublin.
    Agree with Dillonman, Utd v Dundalk has got to be a certainty for opening weekend of the season.
    With Connor in charge, will be an interesting season, now 2 people at the club whose word I would take witha pinch of salt, but would be confident of avoiding relegation with RPS at the helm
