Never said playing players out of position is an injury list Nigel. I said look at our injury list. Then went in to tell you we had a few of players playing out of position.
And I'm sorry, but if you can't see that Tagbo is filthy, you are deluded. He threw an elbow for gods sake.
This is great.
Hard to see how Heary can't organise a defence properly seeing as he was such a class defender. Yet another game where we gave away multiple simple goals to the opposition. He must have been happy with what he was seeing out there seeing as he made only one change during the game and never changed the shape of the team once. Shams weren't even that good. Just kept having goals handed to them.
Dead Man Walking.
Nigel will never be let set foot in the midlands again at this rate
Cheer up nigel apparently you got a draw after all. Must have been some amount of injury time!

Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
Meant to post up last night. That was a nice tribute by the shed lads in the oriel park last night to the Pats fan Hanno who sadly passed away earlier in the week. Nice touch guys.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Good win for us last night, and coupled with bohs win over dundalk, it keeps things interesting at the top with dundalk potentially only being 6 ahead of us should they win their game in hand. Long way to go yet
In fairness Quigley has played in centre midfield many a time - even going back as far as his days at Pats - I would not consider him in there as a handicap in any way whatsoever.Originally Posted by ATFC-1887
Doyle has also played at left back quite a lot, for UCD, for Shels, for Pats also I think and for Athlone last season on occasion too I think? Again, I would not see this as a handicap in anyway either -
Would not consider either of those two as players playing out of position
Where were Cusack and Hand?
Harps are filthy though
From seeing Harps this season and from seeing comments on social media from opposition fans Harps set up to do the same in majority of there games....

Harps do set up as a team to make it hard to score against us. Don' think that is such a bad confession. Chelski have done it all season.
Lets not get too precious about players behaviour. Longford and Harps players at times tryied to get at each other to draw a reaction or influence the Ref in both games - one of our lads took the bait.
Was talking to Harps players today. None complained about the result. There was (good humoured) chat about two of the Athlone defenders constantly verbally and physically trying to get Wilfried to react & do something foolish. In fact at one point Athlone midfielder told him "to just ignore it" .
Nothing particularly offensive was said or done- just usual constant niggling.
One of the attempts by Athlone player at a corner was admittedly very humorous.
I have no doubt some of our lads were probably doing what they could to get an advantage.
Its the way it goes. Big 3 points for Athlone.

I saw him a couple of times early in the season and I thought he was just there to make up the numbers. If he's that good I doubt he'll be in the First Division for long.
Is Peers fit? He looks a shell of the player I'd have bit your arm off to have at Rovers a couple of years back. Sligo have a real problem - they look good until they concede a goal and then they just seem to lose all belief. We really weren't all that good, but that's the kind of game we'd have drawn a couple of months ago.
It has been said that Heary at Sligo & Hutton at Derry are on 2yr contracts. If true does that not present both clubs with a huge problem if they feel a change is necessary?
Derry will stick with Pizza because they know he's doing a rebuilding job. Heary is too but Sligo have shown they'll make tough decisions if things aren't going right. I think they'll give him the season anyway.
We never tried to draw a reaction from Harps, it was your players who surrounded match officials time after time like a pack of rats.
Just like the longford players did in Bray on friday to make sure McGlynn got sent off (he deserved to walk). EVERYONE does it now it's become a part of the game and its rotten
a coupe of players in close proximity to the tackle may have appealed for a red card but when Harps do it literally the entire outfield dive straight for the ref, it's vicious and horrible to see
First saw Swanny play when he lined out with my lad at Tolka Rovers schoolboys.
Always had goals in him, and has a bit of pace too.
Not sure how far he can go, but wherever he ends up, and hopefully it is at a high level, he deserves it, as he is a very dedicated young lad.
Do packs of rats surround things, is all I'm left wondering?
That's genuinely hilarious. Cheers for that.
