Kilduff will be back within 2 weeks according to a few last night.Originally Posted by oriel
He was warming up before the game last night.
Saw a bit of the Derry game, pretty poor Harps crowd. I know it was a Tuesday night but this was their one big away Derby game of the season, would have expected a lot more of them as they're very well supported.
A much needed win for Pats last night to stop the rot (3 league defeats in a row). Longford at home now on Friday which should be a win but our home form has been pretty poor since Forrester left us.
Here on a technicality.
A draw was a fair enough result last night at the Brandywell, doesn't mean I'm not fecked off with it though.
Horgan had us read completely. Harps were drilled and really dictated the game. Their task was made a lot easier after their goal too.
Similar to Longford a few weeks ago, we can't deal with teams who play the style of football Harps did last night, and seem to revert to humping long balls up the pitch.
In saying that, we created enough chances to win that game. Lost count of how many teams we hit the ball over the bar. Might as well throw the lads on against Tyrone in Celtic Park on Sunday week, they'd do well.
Six minutes to go, 1-0 down, you'd obviously have taken the draw. It's just frustrating, to say the last, that we conceded the second and then that was followed up by an outstanding miss by Boyle. It looks worse on TV too. (Highlights here: https://setanta.grabyo.com/g/v/BFXBu7ofUQ8)
I think tonight showed the level we're at. We're alright, but not title or European spot contenders. As said before, I'd be happy with top half.
On match day organising, there generally isn't enforced segregation in the main stand in the Brandywell, more a case of away fans being directed to block A/B.
Not sure why some Harps fans couldn't go to the terrace, there were loads there.
Pitch wasn't looking the best either, and was bobbling a bit. It's getting rolled on Saturday, so hopefully that should sort it.
You only seen the Harps crowd the camera was directed at,there was loads on the terrace the camera was coming from,was a decent enough away crowd actually the biggest away crowd the Brandywell has seen in quite a while I'd say.
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
That would explain it so
Here on a technicality.
There was probably more Harps fans on Lone Moor side than in the seats, which made it all the more confusing how we were directed away from there and to the seats by the stewards at the entrance Harps fans were told to go to.

At least they gave you something to complain about.
I certainly didn't think McMillan would be beaten to the 'Miss of the night' award. Maybe he still wins for having multiple?
Worrying that we don't have a finisher, you get away with it against lesser opposition (no offence Bray!) but if that was say away to Cork or even worse in the Champions League it would be costly.
I still remember his sitter in Belarus and then the one on one in Oriel. We wouldn't have deserved to go through but we could have with a clinical finisher. Hopefully he finds some form!
I'm usually miles off with attendance guesstimates but I'd say there was about 12,000 Harps fans there last night
good riddance Tony and dont come back you are barred!!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Good win for Rovers last night,albeit against a Sligo side who were pish.
Lots of talk of Mikey drennans contract being ripped up, with his next likely destination being Dundalk in July. Sounds like they need a striker anyway. Not sure if he's the answer. If they are holding out for kilduff they really are desperate!
Not a peep in Dundalk about that.
Say it's just conjecture based on the fact Dundalk were in for him before. He seems to be gone from Rovers anyway. Shame, he had potential but he's been muck for 2/3 of his Rovers career.
In fairness Kenny keeps his cards close to his chest and you never here much about a signing until a deal is done. Though I can't see Drennan coming to us. Probably more likely to see Hoban back.
Things not working out for him in England ? The nightmare scenario is that you get your hands on Fagan.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
That wouldn't be a nightmare for us
If Dundalk had Fagan fit for 33 games they'd win everyone of them
Luckily, he isn't going anywhere
Couldn't agree more. Fagan is the difference between pats being in Europe and not. Very injury prone tho, by the looks of it ,dodge?
I think if we had Fagan up front we would run away with the league. The amount of simple chances our strikers miss is ridiculous. I still cant understand why we paid good money for Kilduff instead of trying to sign Fagan.
He's out of contract now at Oxford and they had loaned him to Grimsby in the conference but he hasn't played much for them. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's back in Ireland in July.
