QuoteBiggest crowd of the season in Oriel Park tonight.
If I was a Pats fan I'd be disappointed with Bolger not starting tonight. Has Fahey disrupted the formation of the MF a little I wonder?
Looking forward to the match, pleased to note the WC game doesnt appear to be taking any interest away locally from the game, we'll see later how many turn up. Should be a tight game this time, but I would still be confident of us winning even without Boyle and Hoban.

Biggest crowd of the season in Oriel Park tonight.
3135 in oriel
Athlone 6-0 Drogheda.
Remember Drogheda beat Dundalk 4-1 on the opening day.
Is it hyperbolic to describe that as one of the most amazing couple of results in loi history? An incredible collapse.
Has extratime.ie stopped doing proper updates now?
Poor effort tonight.
Just watched Holland beat Spain 5-1 and now I see Athlone have beaten Drogs 6-0. All very surreal. Maybe it's all a dream.
The 2 bottom teams won 5 and 6 nil. It's a bit surreal alright.
Yep the drogs results are surreal - big defeats vs pats/dun you could explain away as big team vs small team but Athlone and limerick defeats (score lines )!
I can't believe any squad of players can leak so many goals off the back of a decent first series of games.
At the start of the season our defense was shakey but we still got results but instead of improving our defence has collasped.
I can't see how Horgan can stay on.

It's not out of the question. Athlone looked strong in Turners Cross. Another 2 wins and you're right back in it.

You've got no fans.
Fair result in Oriel Park tonight. Dundalk bossed the midfield but St. Pats back four were immense. Dundalk's two front players, McMillen and Byrne, didn't get into the game so it was difficult to convert possession into scoring chances.
Way more than 3,100 at it.
I called it a few days back (can't remember if I posted it) but Athlone will finish ahead of Drogs, just.
Fair play to Cork, deserved winners in Tallaght and, had they held their nerve in the second half, I think they could have had it wrapped up a lot earlier. Rovers don't even look a sum of their parts anymore and the parts weren't really that good to begin with. Croly bringing Dean Kelly on and leaving Sheppard on the bench is a joke, crap as Shep has been.
Drogs fan went mental. Tried to attack the dressing rooms at half time, and had a mini riot at the end of the game. Charging to the technical area and had scuffles with the guards and stewards. Wouldnt get onto their buses at the end either. Craziest match iv been to.

They are just sheep. They stood by while their Board sacked their best ever manager and put a plonker in charge.
Cobh drew with First Division leaders Shelbourne 2-2. Great performance and they could have won it. Ron Stanton and Rob Waters were excellent. Things finally starting to turn around down here. Few new signings and the second half of the season could be a lot better
Nice guys.Wonder if Windymill Warrior was involved?

I saw the video footage after the game. I'd hold off on criticising McMillan until you see it.
