    It also said that Mannus saved from a chambers free kick and also that Frost got a yellow card in the second half even though he was subbed after 10 minutes It said it the Drogs fans had to stand in the rain at Morton the other week when it wasnt even raining

    looked at the updates thing and it says frost got a yellow card in the 2nd minute, nothing about the second half though!

    and nothing at all about a chambers free kick? or am i blind?
    I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.

    Dundalk beat us 4-3 in the showgrounds last season. We were 3 nil up in that game and still managed to lose it.

    Sligo were 3-1 up, but not that that matters. Dundalk should have won this time around too, great fighting spirit. That's two games now where we've been 2-0 down and come back to draw - hit the woodwork at 2-2 in both games too. Great start to the season for us.

Over all we created the better chances and deserved the win but were up and running now which is the main thing.

    To sum up UCD v Galway - awful game played on an awful pitch in awful weather. No idea how I'll get highlights out of it... The end.

    No, but sure it's better to point it out anyways.

    Draw was a fair result tbh .We should have been 2 up at half time and you should have scored 2 in the second half . The weather played havoc with the game and it was poor as a result . 2 points dropped from our point of view !

    I don’t think I’d agree with that really. It was what you would call a game of 2 half’s and that was totally down to the near gale force wind. Drogheda obviously were the better side in the 1st half with the wind behind them, you had more of the ball and the better of the chances, but it was the chances you created, apart from the shot that came off the top of the bar, the free kick save (which was straight forward enough) and the block in the 6 yard box, most of Drogheda’s chances came from distance. Bakers free kick was in but for the wind just on half time, it was going straight into the top corner and right at the end the wind took it off target. In the 2nd half we created chance after chance, had the ball in the net twice, hit the woodwork twice and your keeper pulled off a few very decent saves, one from a Tresson volley than bounced up was a great save.

    I just thought we did much better with the wind and created a lot more than Drogheda did. There was nothing wrong with Tresson’s goal either, complete home town decision. Bakers goal must have been very close as well, from were I was, which was very close to being in line with him, he looked onside when the 1st ball went through but as it went through players and he then ghosted in unmarked he looked miles off side so could see why it was given.

    Before the game I would have been happy with a draw, after it I felt we did more than enough to win it.

    I can say with some confidence that this Drogheda v Bray game was the first game of football I have ever seen.

    That's really weird... I meant to say 'worst'. If it was the first game of football I had ever seen, it would have put me off for life.

    Should be a great turn out for the Bohs v Pats game, seeing there isn't any other football of interest on television. (Except Barcelona v Arsenal - I mean, who'd be interested in that!!?).

    Well I for one would "interested" in seeing Barca v Arse, but I can`t wait to see Bohs V Pats and I am sure there will be 2,500 - 3,000 others there who put support over "interest".

Ye could easily have won it in the last 15mins but it would have been undeserved.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    If that was the worst game of football you've ever seen you can't have been watching football very long
    Bray Wanderers: So good they were relegated twice (and still stayed up).

    You seem to have forgotten our numerous chances before you scored the first. Fenn had a decent one, Burns put one over the bar, Miller missed a cross when it looked easier to score and the one that Faz I think it was went through one on one with Brush but he got there first. Ye where limited to long range shots for alot of the game.

    Until Sligo's first goal Dundalk were slightly on top, then it was all Sligo until the last 20mins where Dundalk dominated, scoring twice and hitting post and crossbar. Draw was definitely a fair result although Dundalk will definitely be happier with it after coming back from 2-0.

    Sligo are no great shakes, we played poor enough and still drew with them. I'm looking forward to playing them in Oriel as it was very difficult to judge both teams in such poor conditions.

    Yeah i thought Sligo were poor enough...a wonder strike from Mc Cabe and a goal from a corner stupidly given away by Breen seemed to have won it for you...but similar to last season,as soon as we got one back your whole team seemed to sh*t themselves.In the end we could have won it,but then again had Cherrie to thank for a great save right at the death.Great crowd for such a bad night.
    Only another 9 titles till Drogheda become pride of county louth!!!

    Too right, plus we should have won with that breeze. Would have been a great win up there.
