Ye seems one player clouted the other after one of the goals.The player then tried to walk off got as far as the sideline and was told to get the hell back on by the Drogheda staff.
Entertaining all the same.

Poor owl fella. . He threw his jersey on the ground after the game

**DaveyPats** · 14/08/2010, 12:15 AM

Pats just didn't turn up tonight, can't say that anyone played well.

Credit to Bray, fully deserved the win. Huge game for us next week now.

Easiest money I've made in a long time. I put a decent wedge on (for me) and at no stage at all did I think that one wouldn't come through, even when the first and second bloke was sent off. Hopefully some other people took advantage of those crazy, crazy odds.

Meanwhile, the Hoops are having a party, which just makes things more enjoyable.

Bray played really well, never gave pats a second on the ball and scored three really good goals, not giving up just yet.

Loved the way the "Going down" chants from Pats fans were replaced by "We are staying up!" from the home section!

Cracking game.

What's with the Pats fans hatred of Gary Dempsey?

Whilst playing for Pats last season he backed Galway to beat them in a double along with Newcastle or man City. Got banned! Galway won other didn't. Dempsey didn't play the game however!

He was a bit young to be his assistant AV!

All managers have LoI match cards, so they get in free, which is fair enough I think.

I'm as gutted as you are happy. We owned the ball in the 1st half without creating too many chances. Tipton will have nightmares about missing his sitter.

Fingal's threat was always going to be at set plays and our defence went to sleep for the goal. Everyone in the ground (apart from the Dundalk defence) know Cahill would swing it to the near post.

Dundalk are struggling with confidence and I thought Fingal controlled the game thereafter.

By the way, apart from the slow ballboys, I thought the game was very well organised by your club. Very professional stewarding though I bet they cost you a few quid. The attendance was poor. I really don't know how Fingal pay the players wages. How do you stay within the salary cap?

Great win for us last night. Monaghan shot themselves in the foot with the early red card. Looked a disgusting tackle by Sean Brennan from where I was sitting and Sean Byrne had to be stretchered off. Two great finishes from Casso for our goals. He was helped in the first one by some shocking defending but the second finish was outstanding. We were fairly well in control of the game up until the last 10 mins where we conceded a soft goal. Casso went off injured and we had to play with 10. Thought we were going to throw it away but a great win in the end.
We have Wexford, Salthill, Longford, Harps, and Athlone now so if were going to have a go at third spot nows the time to make a move. Results didn't really go our way with Cork, Waterford, and Limerick all winning last night.
Great wins for Galway and Bray as well.

Rovers 2 up at half time. O'Grady and Amond with 2 goals in the last 2 minutes of the half

**Martinho II** · 14/08/2010, 8:15 PM

I was talking to Aidan "Jacko" Smyth in Longford today and he was telling me that him and Shay Kelly are part of the backroom staff at Shels now is Barry Ferguson still at Drogheda?
