Calm down. It was 1 game. Yes, we deserved to win, but it's still only worth 3 points and the league is only 5 games in. We're on a great run but it has to end somewhere, just hopefully not next week.
Read my post properly Pablo...... And I am very calm.
Shelbourne could well go straight back up this season. Easily the most organised team we've played yet. Saying that, it was never a 2-0 game and Harps wouldn't have been undeserving of a point had we got it.
Decent crowd in Tolka, even if there were a couple of young fella looking to cause a row.
That's Goal of the Season sorted.
Thought they were very well organised against us too though we dominated them for around three quarters of the game and missed a few great chances. They'll be right up there, this league is going to be as much of a dogfight as ever. They may struggle if they get injuries though.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
At least we can put that talk that we have some sort of Cork City bias to rest now.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
There'll be plenty of better goals scored this season.
Don't think so. Great finish I'll grant you, but the game was over at that stage and Pats had given up. We were poor(to put it mildly) last night, even at 1-0 up I was worried. We can only improve and I think we will. Very silly from Brennan to get sent off after the final whistle.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Understandable as the first goal was against the run of play. Apart from a 10 minute spell in the 1st half and maybe 5 mins in the 2nd half Dundalk dominated and outplayed Pats.
It's hard to know in what measures it was due to Dundalks excellence or Pats inepititude
Silly, indisciplined and unprofessional - but not very surprising.
Maybe Buckley should have seen that his head was gone and subbed him off
On a different note it was good to hear that at least some Pats fans retain a musical sense of humour - I enjoyed the Sultans of Swing classic "Where's my jumper" on the tannoy last night.
The league is full of 36 pass moves finished by a cushioned volley.
Then again, last seasons winner was an average goal.
Maybe there will, maybe not.
But only the truly miserable would be unable or unwilling to acknowledge the excellence of that team goal
Sultans of Ping.
Athlone are five matches without a point, where will they pick up there first points? With Bohs, Derry, Limerick, Pats, Dundalk and Bray to complete their first round, it is not looking good. UCD in 2013 had only four points after eleven games.
They're LOI fans too!
Themselves and the Frank and Walters are all Cork City fans. I often meet Ashley from the Franks, who's a former neighbour of mine, at Turners Cross.
Hard to argue with any of that. Dundalk got in and about Pats and didn't let us play. I think the Quigley experiment has failed. With an extra body in midfield instead of him we might have done better. Too many longer balls last night, and then trying to play in dangerous areas at the back at times. I was surprised to see Chris Forrestor come off, as I thought he was probably our best player on the night. I'm trying to look on the bright side though. It's still early days, and we didn't exactly get off to a flier last year either.
(Oh, and it's the Sultans of Ping btw. I'm only just getting the joke now. There was something about Stephen Kenny losing a jumper last year wasn't there ?)

I thought Pats missed Anto Flood hugely. He was very important in the "decider" last season. Playing Quigley in the midfield was never going to work. He simply does't put in the work to compete against Towell, O'Donnell, or Shields. Pats fans know they have a problem at centre half (not that we are perfect in that department). Foran is a liability.
Sometimes, a terrible result can be a good thing. Dundalk's hammering by Drogheda was a huge wake up call for us. Buckley is a good manager, he can put it right.
Actually its the Sultans of Ping FC
