Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Rovers looking like they will be 6 points behind Derry by next weekend.
We need to change things up somehow.
Missing Pico, Grace and Cleary for next weekend against Derry.
Team look jaded and its two games in..so poor
I've been critical all week so I'm delighted to give credit for an excellent result for LTFC tonight. Didn't get to watch it but it sounds like a spirited performance from a very young team. Athlone may be better than I had given them credit for too given their good win tonight.
Didn’t think we looked jaded , in fact if Kenny took a few of the sitters he was played in for we’d of been at least 3 up… he didn’t and then the Grace/Cleary moron show kicked in ….. Cleary particularly was a disgrace managing to go out of his way to make sure he got two yellows ; he’s been superb since he joined but tonight’s act of petulance will take a long time to redeem

Good win for Bohs there tonight. All the players put in a serious shift. Afolabi in particular was excellent. Caused Dundalk plenty of trouble. The sooner he gets up and running on the goal front the better because he has more than earned one so far. On Dundalk, they play some nice ball but lacked any real end product. Outside of their goal, which looked a bit hit and hope, I don't think they had a shot on target. Surprised O'Donnell didn't bring on Wardy as he might have added something a bit different for them.
Ah now behave, that Dundalk goal was a cracker, beautifully struck and loads of bend on it, I was right behind it and had a great view
Very impressed by Adam McDonnell for Bohs tonight, some amount of running he does. Bucko has just slotted back in and looks like he never left. Feels like keeping him at right back would be a waste of him but he's looked so good there, Devine will have a lot to think about.
Dalymount looks well with the packed crowd behind the goal!

Pleasantly surprised by bohs , we look very up for it, Devine backing up the talk , I’m impressed. Definitely up for the top 4 battle. Sligo Patrick’s and Derry all look very good, shams curiously stale, ucd and drogs also up for a fight, shels a bit flat so far, poor signings? Fascinating start.
Galway win far more convincing than score would indicate, good crowd at Terryland ,some very good performances especially Manning,McCormack and McCarthy,Treaty tried hard but were well beaten,didnt create one chance from play,interesting to note not one player from Limerick on the team afaik.
Agreed I felt we earned that, but they did have five goal attempts, plus a lot of possession late on, we had eight attempts at goal, five on target so yeah the more productive team.
Middle two the key, they are working well together, and Afolabi is an absolute monster so far, that young man works haaard.
Disappointing to lose against Sligo this evening; general view (including Paul Buttner) is the winning penalty was outside the box. Certainly looks very tight on the highlights
Thought we played well overall though and certainly we're better than I was thinking we would be. Behan and Kinsella-Bishop have come on well after a year in the LSL and that could be huge for us.
Not sure who we'll finish ahead of yet, but I'd be more confident we will finish ahead of someone
From the limited highlights of ucd I’ve seen stu, you’ve got a shout this season , been way above expectations from what I’ve seen. Dodgy peno though, who’d have thought??
Had too many of them last season and could do without them this year!
Thought the first one for handball was harsh at the time, but from the highlights I think our guy should just keep his hands down and no issue
And then Drogheda draw against Rovers which wasn't in the script
Thought Dundalk had too many 50/50 punts from the keeper tonight, Bohs winning the second ball and that invited pressure on. Not ideal when you have the physicality of Afolabi to deal with and also the pace of Connolly. Buckley is a decent makeshift full back and Bohs looked pretty solid in central defence. There were a few glimpses that this Dundalk side can pass it around, Sloggett is a linchpin but always has one big mistake in him per game, other than that he could really pull the strings when all the new sgnings bed in. Malley has been a find. Angled balls by Sheppard to the wide areas with wing backs pushing on, trying to keep Bohs wide players deep wasnt working. When we went 2 down and really started chasing the game we became more composed on the ball, more went through the middle and then used the wide players rather than the battle for getting on top of broken play which Bohs won. Hoban may be strong enough to be a target man but he is a lot better with ball to feet which doesnt happen enough unless he drops deep. I think losing lewis (look like concussion) was a key moment as Sloggett had to drop deeper which meant Hoban did also.
Some game time and confidence and this could be a really decent Dundalk side. More good permanent sigings added, complimented by what could be some more handy loan signings and rebuilding the side with limited resources continues. At least the 3 at the back system isnt as delicate as the 2nd half of last season.
