    it cant really be an advantage to the dundalk lads as every second week they have to play on a ''normal'' pitch its a funny complaint to have consider playing on differing surfaces week in week out is a disadvantage for them is it? sure every pitch at every club is different..

    The goal was a free out for a push on Nults but we brought it on ourselves conceeding 3/4 corners in a row that late in a game.

    Mons are strong, well organised and have a very good midfield. Will cause most teams a lot of trouble this year.We'll need to up it a fair bit against Harps.
    Shocked to hear that Philly wasnt great last nite as he has been fantastic for us lately. He has set up a lot of goals and has banged in a few so far this season too. He is only back from an injury 2 weeks now and we will be expecting big things off him for the rest of the season.

    Your 16,875 posts seem to indicate that "ill informed" internet posts might be a bigger issue for you. Does this make you defensive by your own definition?

    Another myth from ill-informed people. It bounces the exact same every time! There has been FIFA tests done to confirm this or we wouldn't have gotten a licence for it. Would the pitches in Galway, Bray or Sligo pass the same tests in recent weeks??
    Its the same as the Moscow surface and if that wasn't up to standards then a champs league final would never be allowed on it.

    We scored some goals!!

    Beno made a great save with an outstretched leg in the first half.

    We won the penalty within 30 seconds of the start. Poor stuttered effort from Aussie, and Ritchie O'Hanlon hit the post from the rebound. Looked like it was going to be another one of those nights.

    Good to see Robbie Farrell with his first of the season after taking a bit of flack due to lack of goals. Should have had another two with great headers from Noel McGee and Robbie Benson.

    Up to joint-4th now.

    Not too sure maybe they did but they do play International matches on it at times.

    I don't think they had to. But yes, they did replace the surface for the final. But his point remains, it hosts Champions League and International matches, it's clearly a suitable surface.

    Plastic pitches are fine, biggest problem is the pass has to be accurate and your touch has to be perfect. If none of the those 2 happen the ball is gone.


    Pro players shouldnt have a problem with it.

    If any LOI club does they can rent it out and train on it the night before a game

    He should never have come for it through a congested area.
    I saw he was impeded but couldn't tell if it was one of our players or a Monaghan player.
