The second half was a huge improvement & when we got the goal we went on to dominate. It was a good debut by Ian Morris out of position & his first game in a year he looks decent , good on ball & cool.The other big plus was another great performance from Jamie McGrath a rising star in the league & the chap just oozes class he is clearly going places , we will be lucky to hang onto him for another year.

Yeah, hear Fenlon is interested alright.

Finished 1-1 in oriel park. An improvement on our recent visits but definitely suits dundalk more than us

6 of last years under 19s played. Started with 3 of them, played 45 minutes with 4 of them ended up with 5 of them on the pitch for the last 25 minutes.

Just sayin'.

Rovers eased past a woeful Limerick.

Could any Rovers fans on Sean Russell's side hear the abuse he was getting for the last 30 mins? I wonder if he was too far away to hear it.

Jaysus, Harps are - agricultural. Seven yellows all told? Could have had a red before they did. Great win for us though; hopefully sets us up for a promotion run in now

All 7 of those cards were the referees fault of course

**paykanti** · 26/07/2015, 8:47 PM

Sign of any good side, as Caulfield will testify

His father was getting more anyway and I would be shocked if he couldn't hear it.

You lot are far too used to soft European football.

**pineapple stu** · 26/07/2015, 9:04 PM

Yup; no nasty tackles in European football...

**Acornvilla** · 26/07/2015, 9:12 PM

Tis only a flesh wound.

**Eminence Grise** · 26/07/2015, 9:16 PM

All right, we'll call it a draw.

Lot of very silly yellows for professional fouls. Tommy McMonagle needs a kick up the hole for his sending off. Saying that, McNulty was booked for the very first tackle in the game, ref was very trigger happy. Raymond Foy got booked for being taken down inside the UCD box, handful of neutrals there agreed it was a stonewall penalty.

A pretty poor game though all being said. Neither side played to their best, and Harps ended up with absolutely zero shots on target which tells it's own story. A big win for UCD.

Rovers/Pats would have beat us today. Cork are shocking. How we never got another penalty when Mountany was taking down. Even the Cork fans were laughing

**El-Pietro** · 26/07/2015, 11:33 PM

makes up for the joke of a penalty you got in the first half. would someone tell towell to get up off his arse too, wouldn't surprise me if he was still rolling around. at one point he dived up into one of players and fell over and the ref bought it.

dundalk are shocking. played with no striker for the last half an hour. we had them rattled.

terrible crowd for a big game too

No doubt about it.

Both of you are right,2 shoite sides in a very poor game that never lived up to the hype.

I actually thought it was a very entertaining game, if a little short on quality. Two teams cancelled each other out to an extent but it was played with high tensity and I felt that either team could score at any point, unlike our draws with Rovers where I wanted to burn my retinas out rather than continue watching that dross.

**seand** · 27/07/2015, 9:38 AM

It was an alright, scrappy game. Dundalk marginally the better team in my entirely unbiased opinion, but far and away the best performance I've seen from Cork since 2012 ;-) Thought we got a soft pen but we're denied a clear one. Overall a decent result for Dundalk, not an easy game after BATE on Wed, so to keep six points clear was grand for us.

Maybe my imagination but Caulfield's sending off probably helped Cork, they seemed to settle after it and dared to play a little bit of football when he wasn't just doing the GAA manager sideline ranting.
