Games 28/29 Feb

[mcgonigle]

Shields was worse in the 1st half, from my view and that was when he was giving the ball away so much.
Also the arguments amongst each other was throughout the game, not just when they conceded.i hadn't see that before. As you say that it was only one game. Next game up in oriel should be interesting anyway.

Little arguments are regular between Dundalk players and have been for a long time. You will see it even when winning. Standards are high and if somebody isn't meeting them he will be told, nobody is immune to this

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Shields was not marking Lopez for the corner (even if he was, his booking had nothing to do with marking anyone from a corner)

The way Byrne shifted the ball onto his left and made room, lost Shields, not because Shields was booked.

As for the bit in bold, what ****e are you talking?

You won the game, would you not be happy you have managed to break the wee jinz we had over you in Tallaght, than pity point scoring saying of one of the best LOI midfielders of last 10 years is an ordinary footballer once he has a booking.

First paragraph is outright wrong.

It made more room, shields was already giving him a yard when he's normally up the hole of the player on the ball in those situations.

It's about the fact people at rovers could have been accused of saying controversial stuff in interviews in the past, you don't get that anymore.

I'm doing not point scoring at all, I actually explicitly said that it happens to most holding midfielders so Shields isn't unique to a yellow card affecting his game.

You said "As for Chris Shields, on a booking he is ordinary"

Its in black and white, why try and say you didnt say such things?

Its trolling

As for Chris Shields, on a booking he is ordinary, when he's not he's very decent don't get me wrong but when he's been booked like a lot of defensive midfielders he's very ordinary

To be fair to RH the above line is what he said fully , he does make the pont that like a lot of defensive midfielders hes very ordinary on a booking ...not that controversial surely, take the agression out of most DM's and you handicap them

[Nesta99]

did you just instantly get angry

Pot and kettle and all that!

In fairness I did call something Dundalk related not completely perfect so what I actually said isn't relevant because everyone knows Dundalk are in fact perfect in every single way

Now you are just stating the obvious RH and achieved without being blessed like SRFC as the luckiest club in the league!! Our secret weapons of the plastic pitch and an away section to keep visiting fans to a minimum is pure perfected genius...

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Predictions for this evening?

I'd say 5 pages of Rovers/Dundalk bitching myself.

Also, when was the last time LoI games took place on 29th Feb?

6 and counting

Always been the way on Foot.

Enjoyable bit of to and fro for the most part must be said.

[sbgawa]

With this coronavirus it's the safest form of social contact. Could be 20 pages next week

If only a way could be found to reduce the number of posts

For years I watched bitchfests on Foot.ie as Dundalk languished in the bottom half of the 1st Division wishing that there was need to be involved in the 'debate' so these days its very much bring it on - Nobody bitches about an irrelevant club, if you are part of the topic, getting under other fans skin then the club is doing something right!

[sbgawa]

Speaking of bitchfests , where are all the bohs supporters gone

Was just thinking that myself and then realised MarinoBohs is banned so that explains the downturn in Bohs related bitchfests.

[D24Saint]

Just watched Soccer Republic, I was bit shocked of the pitch in Turners Cross it was in tatters.

The goalmouth at the shed end was like a throwback to the 80s - not in the least bit playable - I'm just glad Bossin's injury was not serious in the end because serious questions would have been asked if he was.

How'd ye know that? I had noted his absence.

[ArFella]

Dunno how long or for what he is banned but I thought I hadn't seen him post in a while so had a look at his profile and it says banned.
