Resorting to online stream again tonight, which is a bit sh!te. Suspect that Harps might win this one.
I don't have Setanta at home, and am house bound for the night - does anyone know where I can access an online stream?
Sun is shining at Oriel, the pitch looks like green bog roll with skid marks on it.
I thought there was a fault with the television when I turned on Setanta tonight.
Absolute and utter disgrace, shame on the league, fascinating in a way though wondering what the ball will do next.
The absolute state of Conor Winn
A horse in a man costume.
That was a hilarious attempt to get back it must be said. He was running parallel to the bloody ball.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
Humorous goal of the weekend from goal machine McMillan, though I wouldn't be laughing at the Galway goalie's predicament. He had raced outside his box and did well to head clear a dangerous ball, only for the ball to find McMillan's foot, who struck it first time on the fly. The ball slowly but with determination, bounced and wobbled it's way towards the Galway net, just ahead of the desperate goalie scrambling back.

Ciaran Gallagher saves a penalty for Harps with the last kick of the game in Finn park. Dull, dull, dull stuff, but a big point for Harps in the end despite being the better side for much of the game. I say better side...I mean, they were the better of two crap teams on the night.
Thats a terrible pen.
You should have seen the free kick, for Finn Harps, on the edge of the Bohs box, that led to the penalty. A mighty display of how not to play football.Originally Posted by bluewhitearmy
Harps were brutal
Bohs were brutal
The match.......yep, also brutal.
If there was a possibility of both teams getting zero points tonight, it would have been deserved.
That being said, Im delighted with 12 points from the first series of games. Would have bitten off your arm for that at the start of the season. We will need to recruit in the attacking department if we are to make life a little easier on ourselves but overall can't complain (but will continue to complain anyway regardless)
Decent in parts by Dundalk tonight. We were too slow with our passing in the first half but increased the tempo in the second half.
I suppose we have to be happy with 28 points out of 33 in the first series of games, but there is a lot more to come from this team and hopefully they'll do better in the next series.
Galway were very compact and defended well. They just lacked someone in the middle of the park who could get the ball and create something. A decent side though, they work hard for each other and it is easy to see why they are so high up the table.
Our best player was out, Ryan Connolly. Everything goes through him in the middle of the park. He's a massive loss to us.
No complaints with the result. Dundalk went up the gears in the second half and we tired badly, the pressure eventually told. 5-6 of the players played against Limerick on Tuesday.
Would agree with this on Galway, good shape about them and easy to see how they have been so high in the table. They reminded me a little like the Sligo visit a few weeks back in terms of their performance, but they were calmer with the ball, better shape at the back too.
Dundalk were poor enough in the first half but really upped it in the second, 2-0 would have been a fair result, decent finishes by McMillan, our ONLY striker now, as 3 are out injured, bit sloppy conceding so late and in injury time, but otherwise a decent 3 points.

#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).
He did well to come out. The funny part was just how slow he was to be fair. I know he's a big guy and not quick on the turn but there really wasn't any power on the shot and I'd wager most other LOI keepers would have got there.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
It was a weak header I thought. Got under the ball and not much distance.
Desperate game in Finn Park,Bohs are horrendous and we weren't far behind,felt like a victory in the end though and I'm sure it felt like a defeat for Bohs with the penalty so late,Bohs now haven't scored in 4 league games in a row which is pretty mad and I'd say Keith Long will be soon under alot of pressure.As for us if we play like that in the Brandywell we will get a tanking!
Absolutely dreadful stuff in the first half it has to be most pathetic half of football I seen in a long long time. The second was a bit better. I wasn't that impressed with Derry as between Mcnamee & Patterson they did their best to make a mess of it the only thing that saves them was they we were absolutely chronic bad. I reckon we should have got a peno as the Connolly gave a free kick on the edge of the area when the challenge seemed to be inside the box. It's uphill from here that's three defeats on the trot and with clowns like Kelly & Cawley in midfield things are looking grim. It will be a difficult game in Galway & a draw is the best thing to hope for.
