Yup! definately deserved the win tonight. Knocked the ball around pretty easily. Cork had a lot of the ball first half but didnt do much. Wasnt near the penalty so dont know if it was harsh but gladly take it. Vinny's goal was a peach though, super ball from john kearney into him.

O'Halloran deserved his red too, nice to see he's setting a good example for the younger players!

Great to see a crowd like that too. Also glad to see cummins and o'neill doing f-all tonight

Bad form from the city player (number 2 i think) kicking the ball at our supporters for no reason though, no need for it.

Fair play to Sean Connor for managing a side that kept all eleven players on the pitch... doesn't happen often.

Harps started the game very cautious tonight and for a good 70 minutes were extremely poor and playing dull football.
For the final 20 minutes we were superb and could have had 5, McHugh took his header brilliantly and looked a different player after scoring, if he plays like that from now on we will be a very grateful set of fans.
Our second was sublime individual play from Wizzy who beat 4 men before passing it past the keeper into the bottom corner.
overall happy with 3 points and a clean sheet, also 4 goals in 2 games is a pretty decent return too.

Absolutely buzzing after tonight.

Waterford are very strong and well organised. The penalty, not a chance it was a penalty, knocked the wind out of our younger lads a bit. Plenty of positives though. A few weeks to gel and we could do well.

Waterford had a great pacman banner as well as an ironic one about buying history.

Great to see the crowd. If half of that comes back for the Mervue game Il be delighted.

Also a huge crowd at our table quiz afterwards including Hendo and Cambridge as well as some other Waterford fans. Nice one lads!

The best thing about tonight was being finally able to walk through the turnstile smiling and walking out smiling (despite the result).

As for Foster, the only United player from last season to join him in Dundalk is Garry breen, despite his best efforts to sign a number of other players. He may or may not havelost the dressing room, but the players were not exactly killing themselves to join him now, were they? Anyway, nice to see United play some decent attacking football on the ground after the defensive muck of last year

John Russell was all set to join but then broke a bone and Foster, on his tight budget couldn't take him on as we only have a senior squad of 15 players coupled with 4 youths. Faherty choose Pats over us as they offered that extra bit of dosh at the end of the day and it was more handier to get to coming from Galway.

**WoodquayBoy** · 13/03/2010, 9:01 AM

But the thing is, they didn't join, nor did Seamus Conneely, Derek O'Brien or Shane Guthrie. Anyway, not going to get into a slanging match with you or any LOI fan because of that %&*%. Good,luck tomorrow in the derby, we won;t finish above ye but have to top Drogheda, so c'mon the flowers

Way different atmosphere alright. Interesting to see how the crowds will be this season especially as we are likely to struggle this season.

Why shouldn't they?They'res being PC and then there's just being ridiculous.

There's worse than 'dirty northern *******s' at every football game the world over. Jeez, if thats inappropriate Id hate to think what that makes the 'jackeen' songs we have, or the culchie ones others have.
