QuoteVery tough to predict this one, but somehow I don't think it will be close, I think one side will come out and excel. What side that is, I don't know!
James O'Brien suspended for Athlone thats the main engine of their central midfield gone. If we are going to dominate the possession against them in any game this season then this has to be the one!

Big loss for them alright, a player I dont think we should have ever let go.
I'd be a lot more comforable now with him gone and after seeing Connolly play last week. I'd start Connolly and Gillespie and bring on Doyle in the Second half, Doyle looked very eager last week when he came on, despite being out of position.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
I'd start Doyle ahead of Gillespie tbh and like I said have Gillespie as an impact sub. Doyle must have the highest passing rate of all our players, perhaps thats why he doesnt play?Originally Posted by Bosco

As I had feared all week long. Keith Callanan is the man in the middle this weekend. Wonder how much Roddy paid to get him?
We'll just have to try and beat the 12 men. No point complaining about it cos that won't change anything!
Odds like that tell me they don't really have a clue what way the game is gonna go. That doesn't surprise me its very hard to call. Its been a while since we've had a price like that too.
If ever there was a time to **** or burst this is it... nothing less than a win.
if anyone could send me the odd update would be appreciated, have an anniversary mass thingy for a relative I have to attend..
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
Will De Town twitter page be doing updates 2mrw night?

I would imagine extratime.ie will be covering the game since it's the biggest game of the 1st division so far this season
one more sleep...

Please dear God. I need this... we need this!
Sporting F*ck All!
Looking forward to this game now, am actually confident of a win! Hopefully get things back on track. I'll be out early tonight and take in the atmosphere!!
We're due one! No reason to be afraid of them IF we play like we can.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
what was the attendance like tonight lads? Great win for Athlone, ye missed a good few chances though I believe.

That's it. Best we can hope for is another trip to Waterford for the play off but even at that I wouldn't be hopeful. Played a lot better in the second half but to be honest I think Athlone were happy with their one goal and didn't need to go play attacking football. Bye bye Tony.
I thought Athlone were far better than DE Town in the 1st Half but boy were De Town on top in the 2nd half I don't know about you guys but I thought Gorman made a vast difference when he came on but then he got passed the ball tonight not like the Mervue game,
I'm afraid it has to be said if De Town can play like that, where has that performance been for the past couple of months, man of the match for me was Athlone keeper
Its hard breakin to see the decline in the team.. From what I saw in the second half we were all over them! Skinners save from Sully was world class it was that good.. The lads are blaming me for the decline considering I am a PT fan these days... I was impressed with Ryan Connolly pity we didnt get him when Salmo got injured.. Shaw was poor again for us... heard Gillepsie was shockin bad for us.. I dont even fancy us for the playoffs tbh... I think Mervue will catch up with us! What happens to the team if we dont go up this season?It could be like the 85-86 season when we didnt get promoted and had to break up a topclass squad as we ran out of money the following season! I dread to think of the consequences if we dont go up this yr!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Should have started Gorman and Shaw they made a big difference. I know Shaw missed chances, one bad miss, but he caused a lot of problems. Gorman and Connolly ran the game second half. Gillespie is not up to the pace any more. Gutting that we lost, deserved at least a draw, but where was that second half performance for the past eight weeks and indeed the whole first half tonight? Bennion kicking it straight up in the air towards Sully surrounded by three defenders.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
