No bus heading up due to lack of demand, so doubt there will be a huge amount. Hope to make it but it's down to the availability of a lift as I don't drive.

Theres no problem getting buses to Dundalk but getting one afterwards. Im not too sure when the last train is leaving Dundalk for Dublin so maybe if you check there.

Mark O'Brien will miss Bray's trip to Dundalk tonight having been set off on Friday night against Shamrock Rovers. Also missing will be Richie Baker (hamstring), Stephen Brennan (hamstring) and Shane O'Neill(hip). Colm Tresson however comes back into the squad.

Speaking yesterday Eddie Gormley said he was pleased with the performance on Friday night against Shamrock Rovers. He said "The lads bounced back well from Tuesdy's defeat at the hands of St. Patricks Ath. They showed great hunger and didn't drop their heads when we were
reduced to ten men". If they continue to show the same charachter and desire for the remainder of the season we'll be o.k.".

Gormley added "Dundalk had a good win on Friday night and will on a high going into the game on Monday night". In the first game of the season they picked our pockets at the death. I'll be looking for a similar performace again and we will be positive going into the game".

Well done to the lads!! Great to have that Monkey off their backs!! No more than they deserve after Dundalk got that lucky win in the first game!! Hopefully we can some home results now!!

**lowflyingseagul** · 26/04/2010, 8:59 PM

Get in there

**naoise kennedy** · 26/04/2010, 9:10 PM

Thats one result that was really deserved after our first match.. well done to all the team and eddie..

**Grey Boy** · 26/04/2010, 9:38 PM

We do seem to like playing in Louth. Great result. Big game on Friday now.

**naoise kennedy** · 26/04/2010, 11:19 PM

lads he did'nt mean to score,, don' knock his head off...

**Captain2007** · 26/04/2010, 11:21 PM

Great result for the lads, delighted for the scorer's Jake and Robbie, sorry I didn't take the 9/1 for the win in Paddy Powers.Onwards and upwards for the rest of the season......

**Bray-Z** · 26/04/2010, 11:24 PM

Barry Ryan sent off for Galway tonight aswell so they'll have no recognised goalie for fridays game!

**SupaJon** · 27/04/2010, 7:57 AM

Fantastic result!

And coming from behind twice!

Nice to see that it's us getting the late winner this time.

I'm delighted for Robbie. I know he has his critics on here, but in the games I've seen him play so far I thought he's put in he's put in good shifts. It can't be easy for a player like Robbie when we had been hoofing the ball down the pitch for Shane to hare after.

I'll be bringing my nephew from Paris to the game on Friday.
Give him a taste of proper football!

Very satisfying performance and results last night. We conceded an early goal from a very soft free kick, we should have actually taken the lead the minute before but Mulroy hit he’s turning shot to straight. Dundalk had more of the ball without ever really doing anything with it, but he kept plugging away and had our own moments. Cherrie pulled off a super save from a Dean Zambra drive. The peno was 100%, was only yards away from it. A defender can’t barge into the back of a striker as he is waiting for the ball to come down. Lovely calm finish by Jake from it. On the stroke of half time, Dundalk really took the lead out of nothing but with pretty much the last kick of the ball in the 1st half we drew level through Jake again, who took he’s goal very well.

I actually thought bar from the last 6 or 7 minutes we were the better side in the 2nd half. Again Dundalk had slightly more of the ball but was created the better chances and Cherrie made 3 really good saves. Kane only had crosses to deal with really, no shots on target or scrambles. Only once did a Dundalk shot beat Kane in the 2nd half when Fenn hit a beautiful volley, Mulvena was 5 yards off side for the rebound, who by the way has gone down a lot in my books the way he got Massey booked, little ****ing rat ! We even had a really good spell of sustained pressure in the Dundalk. It was easily our best performance of the season. The really good thing about the performance was that we forced Dundalk away from their normal passing game and into to playing long ball stuff a lot of the time

The only downer was Mulroy and Daire Doyle picking up injuries in the 1st half, Robbie’s winner and celebration more than made up for that though, nothing like taking 90 minutes of abuse and then scoring the winner against your old club

**KK77** · 27/04/2010, 11:11 AM

Well well well a win at last and a goal from the white pele himself flip flop Doyle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a boost this is and long may it continue. Don’t go full time with the taxi just yet Eddie!

**notever** · 27/04/2010, 11:23 AM

Well done to everybody unfortunately didnt get to the game myself but the joy when I heard the result........roll on Friday and Galway and if we keep getting performances like that we should be fine.......... come on you boys in green................

**Roo69** · 27/04/2010, 11:32 AM

We lose - some people have a pop, we win - some people have a pop.

There's really no pleasing some people. Why can't people just be happy and try be positive that we had a smashing win against the joint League leaders on their turf and that we have somethnig to work off now instead of "trying" to be funny or smart?

Don't normal football fans celebrate victories?

**Stevo Da Gull** · 27/04/2010, 2:37 PM

Well done to the lads and it must have been the greatest feeling in the world for those who travelled up. Hopefully the lads can put in another good shift on Friday. Flippin brilliant

**KK77** · 27/04/2010, 2:41 PM

Bring on Galway i say. This should give the team such a boost and flip flop as well especially considering how late he scored his goal. Lifted my whole week this result!!!!!!!!

Flippin out of this world i say. Unreal result considering our start to the season. What impressed me most was the fact we took the game to them when we have been on such a god dam awful run. Credit to Eddie for sending them out with this attitude. All about maintaining this now.
