Darren Dennehy makes it 1-1 at the Cross.

All over at the Cross. 2-1 to Dundalk.

Rather appropriate that on the night Stephen Kenny guides Dundalk to the title, that his permanent successor on Whitestown Way presides over another embarrassment. It is time Jonathan Roche acted. You didn't have the balls to stick with Kenny less than 24 months ago. Our club is in free fall since we all got bloated on the excess of Europa league in 2011. Get off the fence.
Handy win for Town against baby Rovers. They were incredibly defensive but once we got the first it was all over. Great finishing from the boy Davy O'Sullivan again
That hurt so much.. thought we were gona push on after the goal but we let one thing in the other end.. good game of football and brilliant crowd.. never thought we were gona win the league but to be up there so long has been great we just need to keep it up for the rest of the season and get Europe which would be a great reward for the effort the lads have put in.. fair play dundalk worthy champions should it happen
We were phenomenal. Only complaint is that we were a wee bit wasteful with the chances; it's not an exaggeration to say that we should have had at least 10. Best football of the season and the past few weeks have shown that maybe our players can play some ball...
Next week will be an absolute cracker.
Fair play to Dundalk, deserved champions.
I don't want to take away from Dundalk, but Sutton has consistently ****ed us over in every one of our games that he has ref'd. To be clear, I have no complaints about the result.

I thought we were excellent and even if it wasn't one one our most attractive performances it was definitely one of the hardest working ones.
Maybe it was a bit tough on Cork and to be fair that looked a peno near the end from Boyle, but to score 60 seconds after losing a lead and away from home is a sign of a very good side. I also don't think Cork created enough chances to win the game, so we were probably worthy winners.
6 points is a big lead there is no point saying otherwise but, I still think anything could happen and two bad results and we could be under pressure, but it is looking very positive, however we need to be in this position in October not August.
What I will say is, it was an excellent hard working display tonight, so the team deserve credit for that.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Still a third of the season so play, plenty of points left to be fought over. Congratulating Dundalk at the start of August seems very premature.

Not that it matters a whole lot, but that was an absolutely exhilarating second half in Finn Park tonight. Both teams knew they needed a win and both went for it, resulting in pure attacking football, end to end stuff for about 30 minutes solid. Fantastic viewing, although utterly despairing for Harps to throw away a lead twice and miss a penalty.
As well as that, we've had 10 red cards this season if you include Ollie Horgan getting sent off. Pretty impressive. Disgraceful decision by Simon Rogers to even award a free that led to the scuffle that resulted in a silly red card for Caoimhin Bonner, but, we come to expect goings on like that in Finn Park this season.

Couldn't get over how slow the rovers defence was tonight. Gaffney was burning them with easy if he got any kind of a run at them. I'd say it's curtains for Croly. Some very average players in that rovers squad. Another clear out on the cards there at the end of the season id imagine.
Boccer Bayly and Kenna had a scrap after the game.
