    What's your view now after seeing it again on SR?

    Just a bizarre selection of highlights, really, specially when they showed a couple of very innocuous Dundalk chances (a tame header, and that bit of pinball that ended with a simple take from Vigs) and yet omitted a couple more shots that, from where we were sat at least, seemed to fly just inches past the post.
    Almost as if the task was entrusted to a junior staffer who maybe doesn't know or even particularly like football, but has had the mantra "always show the chances on target" drummed into them.

    You can hardly get more 'on target' than hitting the inside of the post. Bizarre

    Hitting the post is not on target no matter how close it is!

    Game was completely void of quality and neither side deserved to win but what a goal.
    McCourt has always drawn plaudits for his dribbling ability but he has amazing vision for an incisive defense splitting pass and the passing skills to translate that vision into reality. He's still a great deep lying playmaker for this level.

    Im a huge fan of McCourt would love to see Harps get back up.
    Great weekend for Harps, follow it up with a win at Shels on Friday and you will start to pull away from the pack chasing UCD..

    The first division is anything but a graveyard this year.

    The combination of 40% of the places in the league meaning something and there being only three rounds of matches minimises the chance of dead rubber games. It does mean it'll be hard to catch anyone who gets their nose in front by a two game cushion though.

    Up and down really. They're starting to pick up form now though. Michael is a serious, serious talent though, and with his head screwed on should be terrorising defences in the First Division. Hopefully he can pick up a handful more goals before he leaves in July.

    Ciaran had two good performances in the past two games after a sluggish start. The move to Bohs done him no favours and looks to have suffered a blow to his confidence.


    On Paddy McCourt, we're very lucky to have him at Finn Harps. He's only got another year or so left in him, so we're basking in all his majesty while we're able. He's a joy to watch, even while struggling with injury.

    I am certainly jealous of not seeing Paddy McCourt in a lilywhite shirt, He may have been deemed not up to fitness levels when training with Dundalk but sometimes class is just about enough. I'd have thought that Ciaran O'Connor's spell at Bohs was more a positive thing than a blow to confidence(injury aside)!?

    This casts even further doubts about that booking and more importantly the non award of penalty in Waterford last week:

    Dundalk manager Stephen Kenny questioned the editing process of Soccer Republic last night after they left out a number of key moments of last week's game in Waterford. He said he has seen footage showing Michael Duffy was clearly tripped for a penalty that wasn't given

    Maybe these things even out over time
