Getting a bit of stick.

Seemed happy with his first goal.

UCD 0-0 Distillery. That's about it really.

Technically we were much better; physically they were much stronger. Fancy our chances up there, but we've no presence up front. That'll cost us this year.

Good result for Dundalk , beating arguably the best side in the North .

Im just back from Belfast Sheao, and im not trying to blow our own trumpet but it was more of an annihilation than a good result.. should have scored 2 or 3 more and the 3 conceded were scrappy.. Obviously 2 came about from penalties, both of which were questionable at best.. We actually looked scarily good going forward. Kearns is unbelievable.. we'll do well to hold on to him after the summer..

Great result tonight for Dundalk....any disturbances after the game or did all go down well?

**Flawless** · 14/02/2011, 11:02 PM

All went smoothly Town Legend, bo trouble.. credit to the PSNI, did what they had to do well, escort included. Some of our fans had the stupidity about them to light up flares and sing some contemptuous songs but as was to be expected.. Great night all in all!

There's always them few that misbehave!! At least nothing serious happened for the papers to write about in the morning! When you consider the LOI clubs are only in pre season 2 good results tonight to start things off.

Thats the unfortunate but true part of it!.. ah well!
Linfield were very poor for a team in mid-season, defensively especially, we tore them apart going forward. On a side note, interesting how the BBC had a match report up asap, yet our own RTE havent found the time, even though they lead with a story on Chelski and Fulham!
Also Congrats UCD!

Yeah - Redzer couldn't remember which bus he was on

It was a cracking performance by Dundalk tonight, and confirmed what we had suspected....that this is a side loaded with attacking potential.

Danny Kearns is an international and premier league star in the making. It's hard to believe that he is still a teenager. He will set the LoI alight this season.

Colin Hawkins was a tower of strength despite his lack of fitness. Greg Bolger and Mark Quigley would not be anywhere near full fitness either, and Stephen Maher has yet to come back in after injury.

There is a lot more in this team but tonights performance and result was immense.

I thought Linfield were flattered by the scoreline and Dundalk will be even stronger, fitness wise, by the time the return leg comes around - it should be a special night with a sellout crowd in Oriel Park

Looked for a match report this morning after such a good result and not even a word on RTE.
