Galway look like a decent side. We weren't great tonight with a lot of younger lads getting a run. Galway look to be playing decent football though and i'd imagine they'll do well this season.
Decent crowd?
About 150 maybe 200 at a push.
I'd say max 200.
roddy collins you're a flanker you're a flanker!
Rovers 2-0 up at halftime against Ards (North & Odhiambo). Something a bit closer to a full-strength side out tonight - although being bottom of the ILP Ards must be muck.
Athlone are 1 up at HT at a somewhat wet and windy CCS. Disgraceful from LTFC, have they no pride or passion for the jersey
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
We bring on three of the kids, and five minutes later Ards get one back #teachablemoment
Finished Rovers 3-2 Ards after being 3-0 up and subbing in the young lads. Worries about depth not laid to rest.
I thought the 2nd half was slightly better not much though lovely goal from Athlone new signings didnt fill me with confidence early days man of the match for me was the groundsman
I wasn't there but I'd read absolutely nothing into a pre season game played on a night like this, in terms of the team or individuals. 8 new players settling in too. Galway away March 7th is what it's all about.

Drogs defeated Dundalk tonight in the annual Jim Malone Cup match. Decent competitive game given the conditions. We went 1-0 up through G. Brennan and should have put the game to bed long before they equalised with the final kick (head) of the game. Game went to penos - Andrews missed for us & O'Donnell and Horgan missed for Dundalk. A worthwhile game on a night that wasn't made for football.
And we're going to win the league.
That's the spirit.
I thought both sets of players were a credit to themselves. That was a horrible night to play football.
I think Drogheda will be the happier team with their performance. They looked tight and were creative when they had the ball.
Dundalk had a lot of the ball but did very little with it.
Totally agree with you Longfordian don't care if they lose all the friendlies
Yeh weather didnt help tonight. We were the better team but neither team could do too much with that horrible wind and rain.

Sure ye're the big Premier Division team gracing the neighbours with a glamour friendly
We usually do. Can't remember the last time we won a pre season game tbh.

Waterford United v Bohs abandoned at half time due to the weather last night. I saw a clip online and it's a wonder the game even started due to torrential rain causing pools of water on the pitch. 1-1 was the score.
Reasonable lineup by Longford, four ex premier team players in starting 11. Athlone's starting 11 contained 8 of Roddy's squad from last year. Cooke's squad looks light overall. Could be a problem with a view to survival.
Most of our new players didnt start though. Although i do agree we need a few more signings.
