    Dundalk 0-4 Shels (we were down 10 men after 5 mins) could have been 10-0 if Shels took their chances

    Out of the Leinster Senior Cup twice in 1 year, beat that

    Athlone scored a late winner. A game of two halves. Kerry dominated the first half. Athlone the second.

    Entertaining if disappointing night at Finn Park ,great first half but were second best in the second half,lack of experience showing…
    Jack Doherty looks a player far too good for the first division even with a horrendous penalty miss….
    Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.

    Our stream fell about 10 minutes behind in the 2nd half so I gave up watching but it felt very like a game we’d have dropped points in last year.
    Good to have a sub come on and make the difference, we didn’t really have any game changers from the bench last season so that looks to have made a big difference.

    Ollie Horgan booked for the 4th time in 6 games!

    First time ever we’ve won 6 from 6 to start a season and we’re now 6 points clear at the top. If we continue this run for as long as possible other clubs may start losing hope in catching us at all.

    I still think Waterford are the biggest danger and possibly Bray being dark horses as they’re still unbeaten.

    Ah but still the longest ever holders of the League Cup, from Sept 2019 I was at it, Derry away freezing cold as usual in BW but a brilliant weekend. We'll have that trophy for at least 5 years, still have to say the LSC is a fine trophy.

    Christ that sounded grim tonight in Oriel Park, the non first teamers not doing themselves any favours to get into contention for a place v Rovers next Friday !!!!

    A win is a win, but to say we made hard work of it tonight would be an understatement.

    It was one of our poorer performances of the season, but Longford showed literally zero interest in winning the game, they were wasting time from the first minute and basically playing for a 0-0 draw, and to be fair to them, for a while it looked like it might go that way.

    Bar a few bits of magic from Manning in the first half and a weak penalty from Walsh, there wasn't too many clearcut chances. Second half, it was scrappy, if there was going to be a winner, it looked like it was going to be us, but we weren't battering Longford's door down or anything.

    I noticed tonight they played Elworthy, a right back, centre back, so they must've been down bodies. Ironically it was an ex Longford Town player that won it for us, a little bit of trickery cutting in on his left, and Darren Clarke's low powerful shot took a deflection that deceived Brady in goal.

    Six wins from six, can't ask for much more, but a few supporters pointed out it was strange that Rob Manley hasn't come on in the last few games, especially when the players replacing the likes of Keitha aren't doing much. I suppose it's a good sign when you're winning games and not playing well.

    Looks like a spot of racist abuse from Kerry FC fans. Disappointed for the real people down there.

    A game of two halves in Finn Park. Some good football played. Officiating questionable.

    Realistically at a Kerry game how many people can this be? Surely easy for few boys to slap the head of them and move on no need for social media attention seeking?

    That being said, as in every other LoI squad, there's a significant number of players of colour (5) involved with Kerry, so no harm in putting out a zero-tolerance message about abuse straight away.

    It can now return being taken super seriously by the LoI followers of the UK and EU again! The specilist one keepd his temper in check when winning I presume!?

    How did Cobh look? I haven’t seen them this year yet. I knew by their squad at the start of the season that they’d do well and would come generally under the radar.

    Harps blew them away in the first half. Could probably have been more than 2-0. Cobh looked utterly dreadful.

    Second half Cobh were an awful lot better. Aided by more superb First Division refereeing. The Cobh penalty was correct decision, definitely a penalty, but Harps denied two, if not three stonewall penalties of their own.

    I thought the red was borderline deserved, but lads closer to it said it was a shocker of a decision.

    Cobh have a decent squad though, and in Jack Doherty they have a real game changer too.

    Probably just verging on the fringes of red card, but seen worse tackles only get a booking or nothing at all

    Not impressed with Galway's performance at all. Genuine question, will Ollies carry on not become a huge issue for JC who's only back from a ban because of the behavior of his touchline staff? Could see JC literally begging Horgan to sit down after the yellow, when does it reach the point JC is like I can't have this going on?
