I'm not getting carried away or anything, but I'm going down to the bookies first thing in the morning and putting €100 for Dundalk to win the league after that result.
Can i be your bookie ? ;DOriginally Posted by Guinney
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
A bit sickened in the end by that result considering the three points were within our grasp. Would've snapped your hand off for a point beforehand though. Shams are not all that great. Goals aside they didn't create a whole lot. The penalty incident was bizarre. Mon the Seagulls.
Bray Wanderers: So good they were relegated twice (and still stayed up).
Pats well tonight. Smashing game and UCD defo played their part
Some result for Roddy. Lost 6-0 last week and keeper off after 3 minutes.
Tonigh shows that it is a very competitive league. Crucial wins for both Dundalk and Monaghan (both away) keeping it very tight in the bottom half of the table. Drogheda the real surprise club so far but Sligo's excellent start must make their supporters wish they had let Cooke go much earlier.
Hancock at his usual siht again in the Brandywell tonight,awarded a 90th+ min pen to Derry and sent off Chris Shields before he was over-ruled by the lino and a direct free kick was given in the 'D' instead.
Full report now online.Referee Damien Hancock was at the centre of incredible 90th-minute drama as he sent off captain Chris Shields and awarded a penalty to Derry City only to have his mind changed by linesman Paul Deering, as Dundalk held on for a precious 2-1 win at The Brandywell on Friday night.

Well at least we have goal difference. That is some defensive record Pats have, Sligo too.
Fully deserved too, in my biased opinion. We were on top most of the game, even with only ten men
Pats match was brilliant, easily the best 15 quid i have spent in years. UCD are as ever under Russell very pleasing on the eye and they played well. They changed to 352 and went at us in the 2nd half, creating one of the best 30 minutes of football i have ever seen.
cracking game.
5-0
Good to hear.
Next week should be interesting, North/Rogers are going to get a lot of abuse.....please deal with it now. They tried to kill our club and rightfully are going to get a lot of abuse, please dont post on the internet "pats fans are *******s" those fcukers deserve it.
5-0
Thought City were unlucky not to take a point. Had the only two proper chances of first half, and were starting to build a very decent rhythm before disruption caused by Dunleavy's injury. Thought Ndo was the difference myself, he did most of the dirty work in the middle of the park as well as his usual playmaker role. Missed the incident where he was booked though, think he was the one who injured DunleavyCity look to have "gelled" now anyway, at least.
Would you like to have another try there ?
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Penalty brought laughter amongst Rovers fans down that end. Bray exposed Rovers well in the first half down the left, but simply didn't seem interested in the second half. Shockingly negative spoiling tactics, Quigley being the leader again. Once the first goal came Rovers were all over the game, Byrne barely got a touch in the second half, neither did Jansson. Probably should've nicked it in the end.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Derry got what they deserved from that game - zero. Played nearly all the football but conceded from Dundalk's only two chances. The second is worth catching on MNS, a comedic back pass mix up between McCallion and Doherty. Grim stuff.
We dominated the game but under Devine we've been characterised by being utterly panicky when put under any real pressure. Dundalk arn't much cop but they were organised and pressed us high up the field (Rafter was particularly impressive). But we had so much of the ball we should've huffed, put the feckin thing under our arm and went home...
Cherrie made two or three exceptional saves but we're going to struggle until we get our mentality right. Depressing.
As for the non-penalty, I've yet to find a Derry fan who actually thought it was a spot kick. Still Hancock handled the whole situation like a one-handed butter churner.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Probably one of the best post match interviews I've ever seen.
Good evening!
I hear that DD's demolition job of something belonging to the greyhound crowd will also be worth a look on MNS--
(when the peno wasn't given,sshhhhh)

Well deserved win for Mons . Bohs were very complacent after their keeper was red carded. Only high point for Bohs was Mc Evoy`s 25 yard equaliser. It would be goal of the month if he wasn`t up against Forresters`goal of the season v Rovers
With regard to relative attractiveness of the football played by teams against us to date the current ranking would be-
Mons
UCD
Sligo
Shams
Pats
Derry
Shels
Cork
Are Sligo not Barca anymore?
