Smashing game in Oriel Park tonight.
The team that Ian Foster has assembled has treated us to some great games this season, particularly the 2-0 win in Tallaght, the St Pats 0-0 (best no score draw I have seen for a long time), the super win over Bohs (with Bohs playing some excellent if non-threatening football), but tonight, particulalrly in the first half was very special football.
Dundalk made Shamrock Rovers look ordinary and the 2-1 scoreline gives a wrong impression. Rovers were simply steamrolled out of it, and in Tom Miller (clubs player of the month) and Stephen Maher (tonights MOTM) have a midfield powerhouse that almost makes Paul Keegan look timid by comparison (well maybe a slight overstatement!). Melligan, Faz and Fenn (how did you let him go Fenlon?) add finesse and energy in different measures. Gaynor is a nightmare for any defendor and the back four is rock solid (I wonder does MON still rate Dan Murray over Liam Burns?)
This is a team that is going places and doing it in some footballing style - I can't wait to take on Pats on Friday!
