QuoteSligo did good work getting Keena on a long term deal,don’t think he’ll be long in this league and they should be getting a far healthier fee than what has been going recently…
Aidan Keena has been a great signing thus far. Whichever League One team ends up with him will be doing well.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

If you offered me 1-1 before the game I probably would have taken it but I'm awfully disappointed after the fact. Great performance from the lads but it feels like so often this season we just about manage to turn big showings into results. Doesn't feel like there's much to be afraid of with Mura anyway so still all to play for at least.
Mura and Motherwell now know they are playing no mugs and will have the bit between the teeth. If Sligo and Pats can frustrate them for the first 45, they will leave gaps to get in front and thats where they can be hurt. Composure in defence and keeping shape early and later hit on the break. You'd expect Motherwell to improve as they will feel this loss, but by how much more if Sligo set up well.
Ah Chris Forrester, the final finish letting him down. What a goal that would have been.

Not only a peno but a straight red too.
I'm stunned (in a good way) but that Sligo result, but Motherwell were poor. Sligo should really have had one or 2 more gaols - the Mata one one late on where he mis-kicked it in the box (?) and the Motherwell handball in the box which should definitely have been a penalty. I think Motherwell suffered frm it still being pre-season I expect them to come out all guns blazing next week and probably have too much for Sligo, but a great result none-the-less.
There's a player there for sure Tony but he was absolutely superb in his first games for us as well. Finished the season looking like he would be in the first 3-4 names on the team sheet and made me forget all about Scales. This season he's struggled a bit. Good to see him doing well so far. Hope he keeps it up. Against everyone else of course.Originally Posted by TonyD
The league's champion should be confident of making the group stages. Getting 2 clubs into the group stages in the same year will be a great achievement. Is it more likely to be Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk some year as opposed to Shamrock Rovers and any other club?

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
FAI can take credit for creating the atmosphere then
Sensible and logical thinking!
Sligo game on LOITV next week,Premier sports only showing it on their UK channel….

I don’t think it’s a realistic possibility of having two teams in the groups in the same year. The champions have the most realistic chance as they will be grouped with other losing champions each time they drop to a lower competition. These opponents will naturally be a lower quality.
The teams going directly into the Conference League would have to get four unbelievably favourable draws to have any chance. When you get into the third round and play off round you start coming up against the lower placed teams of the strongest leagues.
2 stands at Tallaght sold out for next week,good to see considering the first leg result…

How good must Rovers be if they can loan out Barry Cotter? He was superb last night.
A bit disappointed to only come out of that with a draw as they were no great shakes but I expect them to be a different side at home next week. I'd imagine Tunde will get more game time over there and Serge + Billy King will feature to try hit them on the break with a bit of pace.
Here on a technicality.
I thought he was a super player tbh and is a big attacking threat.
His problem is he has spectacular brain farts as well, i can remember two goals where he literally passed the ball under very little pressure directly to the opposition on the edge of the box leading to goals (one against Sligo in Tallaght i am pretty sure was one of them). He never got a run of games so maybe that's unfair.
Hope he does well for you against Derry and Dundalki assume he wont be able to play against us?
Cotter physically looks a step above our league but I’d say he’s a player that could drive you mad aswell,always wants an extra touch and doesn’t always play the obvious pass,great last night though and should have scored after about 50 seconds!

Funny you should say that as have always seen people saying he’s been very good but was always pretty poor against usI thought he was a super player tbh and is a big attacking threat.

They really are the oxygen tank of Irish football.
I hope all the travel wasn't the reason for how poor mura looked last night but they didn't get it easier today flying out of knock
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
