Well that’s just not true is it. The majority of the time he’s talked about by Pats fans on here is when Dundalk fans bring it up. Over the last week it was even brought up in the attendances thread by Dundalk fans ffs

We are really racking up clean sheets (not winning too much mind), this tweet sums up the improvement in defence, if we can get this right the rest will follow, still think 5th might be our best hope for the season.

Not going there with the other talking point, its boring at this stage, time to move on everyone.

Haven't seen it back but at the ground I thought the second save was more of a poor finish from Doyle than a great save, albeit Sheppard still had to keep it out and obviously did well to do so. Was a great ball in with pace on it and a free header from about 6 yards out, I'd say he was fuming with himself that he even gave the opportunity to save it.

Definitely a frustrating one not to win, especially with Rovers away next week.

Yeah, I’ve watched it back, and it was really a sitter. From that range, he headed it straight at the keeper. Either side and it was a goal. Good save and all that, but as the cliche goes, Doyle will be disappointed with that.

Nobody knows what the reason was but I've always thought more of a person who can rise above grievances and shake hands or speak to a person they have little time for. Says a whole lot more about the type of person who ignores someone rather than passing themselves with what amounts to a nothing gesture anyway if it lacks sincerity. Personally i'd take pleasure knowing that i've gotten under a persons skin to such an extent!!

Your are correct there,i will never get those couple of hours back,took a ramble down from my humble abode in Clonsilla .It was simply awful stuff ,tbf at least toothless Bray made some attempt to get it down and play how ever miserable their efforts were.As for Treaty only words are ..horrendous muck.

Serious amount of free kicks scored by Will Patching over this season and last. I had recently started to think that teams should try to put a man on the line for them but after seeing Barry McNamee's attempt at that tonight it'll probably have to be someone that’s not the smallest player in the team!

Looked like Barry McNamee was the only player that realised that but unfortunately for him he was too small to stop it. An amazing player but he should have stayed at Derry city. Six points clear after 9 games. I'll take that.
2nd half we didn't turn up though until Akintude came on, didn't risk Fats on a terrible pitch either.
We'll move on to Shels in the Brandywell on Friday.

As i said x amount of weeks ago there were no good teams in this league last year, this year there is one. Not surprising to see the one good team dominate from the start.

**Jd2793** · 10/04/2022, 10:44 AM

for galways sake they are better off not going up this season and paying caulfield off. imagine what crimes he'll commit with them in the PD. haunted they got a pt yday , wexford are as unlucky a team ive seen in a while. ian ryan is a very good coach. hes doing a great job there. dobbs is a cracking player at this level too and in all honesty with the right move would do well in PD.

See Athlone Town have sacked Martin Russell thats after them letting go of Paul Doolin. whats the point of hiring if ye are going to let them go at the first point of crisis? Its gone beyond pathetic down there.
