After the cup game Perth made a comment lauding Dundalk fans not reacting to 'the madness' after that game. Any idea what he was on about - it'd be par for the course for Pats fans to celebrate and be on a wind up getting to a cup final and after Dundalk being in the last 6. Over the years going to Richmond Park, Ive never experienced any bad incidents, the only Dublin fixture I can say that about (o and UCD but not sure that counts
) although I do know others had car windows broken (during a game so hardly St Pats supporters) and some issue at an off-licence between 2 groups of supporters one night. We were even let sneak out for a pint at half time usually and mingled with Pats fans.
Kinda dont feel much like analyzing the match tbh, its was a tired looking effort. Whether due to the quick turn around of games, not much of a squad to rotate, or due to wider issues at the club, its hard to know. Flipping Klopp, Guardiola and their ilk would struggle to get 100% out of players no matter how the side was set up under the circumstances so harsh to point the finger at Perth imo. He has undoubtedly steadied things but from a very low starting point. Under different circumstances I still think he is a good young coach and capable enough for the Dundalk job. There are so many rumours doing the rounds I suppose its understandable that some people are questioning his suitability if not ability. If he gets the Shels job it will be interesting to see how he does.
