    Big few weeks for us. Away to Shels twice, away to UCD, home to harps and Cobh. Will be alot clearer after those matches.

    We were rubbish last night. Draw was fair result. But it's a good sign that we were able to grind out the result.

    We're a weird team. Away to harps a few weeks ago, first half we looked like a premier division team. Second half looked like ragball rovers. Back to ragball rovers last night!

    A 4-0 win for Harps last night was incredibly generous for Athlone.

    Harps weren't overly great, but really should have, without the slightest hint of exaggeration, put ten past the worst team I've ever seen in Finn Park.

    John O'Flynn should have had a hat-trick, Michael O'Connor should have had one, Ciaran O'Connor should have had a hat-trick, and Mikey Place could have had a couple more on his home debut. Mark Coyle missed from 6 yards, Tommy McBride missed from the penalty area...could go on all day. A truly brutal Athlone team. More clinical finishing and there could have been a record scoreline.

    Will be an altogether different story on Monday evening.

    Dundalk could have won 8 or 9-2 last night. When they go forward with one touch passing, it's so swift and seamless. There's no other side that can match them for footballing quality. Rover's concession of the 3rd and especially the 4th goals are the stuff of nightmares though.

    Automatic Promotion dreams seems to be fading away for Galway too, but the introduction of the Playoff systems still gives a chance. I dread the day we have to play Dundalk when they're in beast mode though, if we do somehow manage get promoted.

    Not comparable. The league was over at that point. Caulfield teams are incredibly competitive, right from his first season with us. When it's on the line, they won't fall off like that. Criticise his style of play, but his teams are never not up for it when there's something on the line.

    OK, but they literally did exactly what you said they'd never do in your post.

    Yeah, I think Dundalk came close enough to winning the title last year to say that it wasn't "over" when the collapse started

    Fair point. I should have been clearer.

    It was though. There was no point last year, even after we started losing games, that anyone thought dundalk would win it. We needed a point from our last 4 games or something to win it. After winning it, we proceeded to drop more points which made it look closer at the end, but it was over. There was never a risk of losing it. Seani made sure of that with the hattrick up in Oriel.

    It would be great but they are going to be two extremely hard games. I think we have tightened up at the back which helps but upfront we aren’t as dynamic as we were at the start of the season. On a plus Sean Brennan is really getting into his stride and passing/controlling the ball like a master.
    Drogheda United in this together

    Meh; can't agree with that. Had Dundalk won in Turners Cross, ye'd have been in full ****ting-it mode and anything could have happened. Ye'd still have been huge favourites, but it wouldn't have been over. That draw was the one which really sealed the title. It certainly wasn't over enough earlier on to dismiss the collapse over the last 15 games or whatever it was.

    It seems Dan Cleary feels he has a point to make

    Daniel Cleary Continues To Remind Stephen Bradley What He's Missing



    Speaking to the Dundalk Democrat after last night's 5-2 win against Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght, Dundalk's Daniel Cleary described scoring his goal as "the best feeling I've ever had."
    Giving Stephen Kenny's men a 2-1 lead on the night, Cleary's attention was drawn toward the Rovers boss Stephen Bradley, however.
    Heading straight toward Bradley, Cleary's cupped his hear, suggesting that the Shamrock Rovers manager missed a trick when he overlooked the former Liverpool man.
    Booked for his celebration last night, Cleary added to the furore surrounding his celebration with a Tweet this afternoon.

    It's really great to players come to the LOI and talk about how it helps them to fall in love with football again. Whatever about what club they're at, Cleary saying how good it feels, Vigoroux posted how it helped him enjoy football again, Seani and others have said similar. Its a huge benefit for the league, and we should be shouting it from the rooftops.

    So much for Dundalk throwing the kitchen sink Asterix, sounds more like Bradley decided against signing Cleary and he thorougly enjoyed showing the Rovers management what he thought of that. Your various claims more and more sound like a steaming pile of sh!t!

    And people say Bradley doesn't know how to get the best out of players.

    Well, another four goals shipped by the Derry defence today. That's 19 in the last six games. Utterly pathetic stuff.
    The transfer window can't come soon enough.
