The 4-0 scoreline looks good but Rovers were bad for the 45 minutes against Drogs and the O'Neill goal changed things. We had to wary of them after their deserved win last season so glad we were clinical in the second half. If Longford had got the win it would have been the perfect night with Pats losing too but you can't have everything. Now let's get anyone but Bohs in the quarters and we'll have a chance.
Its tedium at this stage but Corks fall from grace is mental,Galway are basically amateur,5 league wins all season 3 against Wexford and Athlone and they didn't have a shot on goal Bonkers!!!
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Dundalk were better than the 3-2 v Derry scoreline might have you believe and just reward after a tough game to go through to the next round.
Derry could have won it in the 90mins true enough but it would have been v.v lucky victory but such are the nature of cup matches
Fair play to Georgie Kelly for the goal and for celebrating the sh!t out of it too many players hung up on that old i owe them something rubbish.
HOW is Kenny still in this job ffs.
I'd say Kelleher will pull the trigger only when Europe looks gone.
With a few wins in there next few matches they could be 3rd is what Kenny would be telling him.
Drogheda are not a bad wee side for the resources they have and wouldnt be the easiest nut to crack in United Park espeially in a Derby. I wouldnt partiularly want to play them next round either. That will probably mean Dundalk drawing the Drogs and Rover drawing Cup Winners elect Bohs now!! Going on form though if Rover and Dundalk can avoid eachother and get to the final its would be some day out in the Aviva with a potential for one of if not the best attended cup finals in the Aviva. Long way to go yet and after Dundalk and Cork avoiding each other for the last 4 years what would be the odds on the top 2 getting to the final again?
Even though we didn't score in the first half it was always coming I felt. Drogheda were running around without the ball and were bound to tire. Bar a defensive lapse I could only see one winner.
Drogs did look organised and with a couple of extra players could be competitive in the prem.
Quiet first half in Sligo
The Gaurds should pull the tramp out of the dressing room
