Let me guess - 80% to the FAI and 10% each to the clubs.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

2 club legends had a bad habit of missing penos...could be a good sign ?
Rovers / pats on tv?
LOITV only as far as I know
Nice link TYC, I was way off then re one of the finals held in Turners X, obv got mixed up with one of the league meetings with Dundalk that (2018) season with the 7k.
The 2018 PC final in Oriel Park was played during the day time, blue sky for first half and a blizzard of snow for all of the second. Johnny Ward famously changed his LOI title prediction from Dundalk to Cork City after their 4-2 win that day. Dundalk would go on to win it by 10 points.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Ah sure there’s u20 rugby to show, why would Irish people want to watch sawker , unless it’s epl of course.
Shelbourne 7-0 Longford
Pitugla didn't look great there, Rovers well on top aswell, only a friendly though...
Pats outplayed 3 nil. 8053 crowd
3-1!!
A lot for Jon Daly to chew on after that. In all the vital areas and in all the stats we were completely outplayed. We need a RB asap. The squad depth is a huge issue aswell. It’s early days but on that display we haven’t bridged the gap to Rovers.
Good to be back!
Always think when we play Rovers, Derry and in Europe that we look miles off it physically and tonight didn't quell those fears for this go around. As much as some are lovely players all of Forrester, Mulraney, Kavanagh, Leavy, Nolan, McClelland, Bolger and probably one or two more are either both or one of slow or weak as **** and it really showed.
Not too disheartened though given it's a glorified friendly and I think Rovers will walk it anyway. Have an inkling that a team set up around a back three of Turner-Redmond-Keeley may end up being what Pats settle on sooner or later.
Jeez watching the match back on loitv pats keeper horrendous for two of the goals especially the second, absolute howler. Keepers thrive on confidence and we've had enough troubles of our own at rovers to know it in yhe past. Pats will really struggle if he doesn't improve on that performance
Actually clarkes second the third goal on the night was the real howler
Was at the other end of the ground and I thought it had gone through his legs. No doubt we were very much second best on the night. Write it off and move on.

Can't disagree with that it was pretty irrelevant overall in terms of the league. I'd happily swap it for 3 points next week.
Noonan was excellent and I've been watching him sin e he was in Damien duffs under 15s side, he could be the stand out player for us this year.

Won the first peno (missed by James Clarke) hit the post for the goal, McDaid scoring from the rebound, then hit the bar with the second peno. Fairly poor game in crap conditions.
There's been plenty of talk that St Pat's,along with Derry will be the ones to take Rovers on in a league challenge- If last night is anything to go by, those hoping for anyone but Rovers better hope that Hoban stays fit long enough to keep derry up there-Unless I'm mistaken,that was fairly close to a pats starting 11 against a mixture of Rovers starters and young guns,and there was only 1 winner.
Good crowd in, and the new stand with people in it gives the ground a completed look.
The real fun start's next week.
I’d agree with that, the first half had nothing in it really. Rovers were probably slightly better but neither side created any proper chances. The 5 changes rovers made at half time were game changers in terms of fresh legs and obviously playing ability. Some of the pats players looked dead on their feet after about an hour. With 12 subs being made in the game it was hard to gauge a lot from it but the one thing it did point out to me was the serious squad depth at rovers. The squad depth is incomparable to anyone else in the league and that’s without Lopes, Byrne or Burke even on the bench. I reckon they’ll have to be majorly off song for at least 15 of the 36 games this season if anyone is to have a chance of catching them and I personally can’t see that happening
