If either of them were worse than James McKell at Jackman Park then I'd hate to see them
Bohs fans kept holding onto the balls and throwing them onto the pitch when we got forward, karma sort of bit you in the ass 94th minute winner simply due to you doing that![]()
5-0
Hope the 2 Wexford lads are ok nasty clash of heads.
Does anyone take records of assists? Because if they do they can give our second goal tonight to Bohs fans. Cheers lads![]()
Here on a technicality.
Got to feel sorry for Dundalk GK Ger Hanley.He came into the starting 11 tonight (3rd start i believe)ahead of team regular Peter Cherrie.Following a clash with one of his own players on about 28 mins he was taken off injured with a suspected broken wrist.Hope the injury isnt as serious as was first suspected and best wishes to the lad for a speedy recovery from injury.
Also banners from Derry and Drogheda
Some great banners up there from Pats and Bohs. I can't help but feel that there will be some nazi freedom of speech supressing fines handed it out for this. In TX, Derry had "JD drinks while a LOI club sinks".
Jesus, so much for trying a bit of light hearted banter for a change...
Clearly still hurts alot though which is nice to see.![]()
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
The board of management of Drogheda United would like to apologise unreservedly for the inappropriate behaviour of an element of our supporters in the stadium on Friday night. On a night when we had four underage teams taking part in the activities in the ground at half time, we received numerous complaints from parents and our genuine supporters. Indeed many people left the ground early.
It was a very important night for Drogheda United with a number of distinguished guests including a national television crew from Turkey, sponsors and cross channel football representatives in attendance.
Drogheda United prides itself on being an ambassador for the town both nationally and globally and has the reputation of being a welcoming and friendly club.
It is the position of the club that everyone who enters the ground agrees to behave in a dignified and respectful manner and to make the match night experience enjoyable for everyone.
The actions of a minority of the crowd were completely unacceptable and the club will take appropriate action to ensure that there is no repetition.
****ing arsehole Drogheda board. Playing in front of 200 people 2 years ago. More than likely most of the lads involved in doing up their banners
But the bad language offended 'cross channel football representatives' and Turkish TV. Go and ****ing ****e

Although I personally agree with the sentiment you are expressing Dodge (though I find all those stars offensive...) let's remove the anti-JD/FAI goggles for a second and look at it from the perspective of Drogheda the club. If families were leaving early then there is a danger of losing some of the fan base that is critical to sustain the club in the short to medium term. Some sort of toothless gesture, which is all this release is, would be a fairly reasonable step to take. History shows you can sh*t on your hardcore all you want and they will generally remain. They've just tried to mitigate the negative feedback they received from a few parties last night. They may be also trying to mitigate the inevitable fine winding its way from HQ.
Listen, I'm not saying its right, i think its a cop out but I'm just saying there's another perspective that has validity too.
What I'd really be angry about is the reference to "genuine fans" suggesting that those engaged in offensive chants are not. That's low.

How offensive were the chants? If they were foul-mouthed you can see the club's point. Not that a bit of docker lingo has ever kept the kids away from Tallaght Stadium![]()
Probably attracts the Tallaght youth..
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
There's a lot to be said for a terrace education. Especially if you're lucky enough to attend one of the local schools.
