Two great goals by Kirby. Deserved the win, Rogers made 3 great saves for Pat's and it looked like he was gonna get them a point but luckily for us, Kirby stepped up

Don't know if you were watching the 5 a-side astro game or the game on the hill with the cattle but we deserved a point from that game last night. Yes Monaghan dominated the first half but we definately bossed the second. Gillespie was unlucky with his free kick that hit the crossbar and we had two great chances one from a Gillespie corner and one from a Morley cross into Salmon only he failed to get a good connection on it. If Monaghan deserved 3 in the first half de Town deserved that much in the second half!! Was talking to a Monaghan coach in the car park and he even admitted Monaghan were lucky to hold on as they were camped in their own half for the second half.

On another note, was your No 11 an aquisition by Roddy or had Cooke signed him before that?

Couldn't care less. Awesome stuff in the second half, if a bit nervy in the first.
Pats deserved nothing for their lack of any ambition.

Wow! You use the word 'awesome' for the second half performance??? Jaysus!!!! You're extremely easily pleased like a hooker who has just been handed a grand.

Sligo definitely deserved to win. We were even for the first half hour and then Sligo took control just before half time. We should have closed Kirby down quicker for the goals. Sligo aren't great, from what i've seen this season so far, Dundalk are a better side.

I think Sligo have earned the right to play a bit of hoofball to be fair. Good footballing side and everyone needs a plan B.

Are plan B's readily available because Dundalk need one ASAP.

**Charlie Darwin** · 09/04/2011, 11:52 PM

Buy new defenders.

wasn't lack of ambition. just fitness. We showed early that we came to win and were on top and creating chances for 25 minutes or so. When Sligo upped their game we ended up looking knackered and sloppy mistakes led to their goals

Neither Sligo nor Pats played hoofball. playing the odd long ball, or defenders clearing it every now and again is NOT playing hoofball. Both teams tried to pass it, Sligo being that little bit better

missing two of our main defenders. which showed on the right as we had little play going down that wing as alan keane like to get forward

**colinf** · 10/04/2011, 9:29 AM

we will agree to differ Id say there was about ten minutes where you dominated and that was the last ten we should have piut the game beyond you long before that anyway dont think roddy brought anybody in as the window was closed

I agree , 1st time i have seen Pats play football against us under mahon. Usually they just try to stop us playing in the showgies. Apart from the 1st 15mins Rovers were by far the better team.

**poster** · 10/04/2011, 10:42 AM

Dodge has the most accurate assessment there. With Peers and Keane out they went straight for the kill in the first half, we were lucky not to concede.

Still delighted though, MO'N was at the game too. Looking forward to tomorrow night now.

**Rasputin** · 10/04/2011, 11:37 AM

I was surprised by Pats to be honest, they got the ball down and tried to play a bit of football which is quite different to their last few visits.
After about the first half hour where Pats dominated we really took over and only for some fantastic keeping by Rogers we should have been leading at half time.
Good game, good crowd, good result and another lad on the scoresheet, things are kicking into drive nicely.
Joint top of the table, pressures on MON.

This might be a more accurate account of how things went!

It would be easy to find it as it was said as Ndo was coming on .

Commentator 1 "Ndo is coming on"

Commentator 2 "black Cun*"

Sure that beats me hands down; I was only at the game.

Ye were better, but far from "all over" us.
