A 93rd-minute equaliser by Ryan Kelliher for 10-man Kerry earned a point late on.
Great game in Richmond, pats and ourselves really going at it, we are terribly short still at right back( miller filling in is good but a midfielder first) and centre mid( Flores and McDonnell just don’t work ) also a little suprised Connolly is apparently surplus atm?
Still, I have faith in Reynolds so far, work rate has doubled and lads who never tackled are working.
Much like last season a good 0-0 between us and Bohs, better game than the scoreline suggests. Think it's fair to say we deserved to win it on the balance of chances over the course of it though, so a frustrating one ultimately. A lot of points left behind this season.
Shels fully deserved to win tonight, GUFC were second best all over the pitch. We'll have a couple of signings eligible to play the next game at home to Bohs, we desperately need them to freshen things up
Thought a draw fair enough?Originally Posted by Jack B
Bit disappointed in your main lads, git not at it and mulraney poor enough delivery. How is b Kavanagh not starting??
Makes some difference.
Much better performance from Bohs tonight. With a bit of extra quality in the final third might have nicked it but we didn't really have many options off the bench. They definitely put a shift in though. Thought Jake Carroll and Paddy Kirk were superb along with Chorazka in goal. Fair play to Cian Byrne having a good game after hardly playing for the last few months.
Interesting that Gaxha wasn't even in the squad tonight - injured, or do those loan rumblings have any truth to them?
Positive signs of Kenny’s style of play starting to come through. I reckon Pats had more shots on target tonight than in any game this season, Chorazka in goal for Bohs had a great game. Pats sort of went missing for the middle third of the game but if they can keep that sort of pressure on teams for 90 mins in games they’ll win the game more often than not. Bohs looked dangerous on the counter but in the final third they lacked composure and didn’t work Rogers enough in goal. Good game as mentioned above.

Based on the few glimpses I've had of him, I would give him a few games in a row. Hurley has been quite poor all year in the number 10 but never gets dropped. McCarthy has been superb on the wing, O'Sullivan on the other side has been inconsistent and Dervin is carrying an injury so Gaxha should have played a lot more. It would be disappointing to see him leave before getting a proper chance
Ah yeah, I just meant on the balance of chances we probably had more (or Chorazka had more good saves to make at least) but I don't think a draw was an unfair result or anything.
It's a weird one with Kavanagh, I agree with you that he should be playing because he's got better a better final ball/end product than anyone else in the squad (most assists in the league still I believe) but he seems to kind of occupy this weird middle ground with managers of not being physical enough to play in midfield but also not fast or good enough 1v1 to be a winger. He made all the difference when he came on though. Mulraney has flattered to deceive since we signed him really, big single moments of quality but in between large amounts of nothingness, Forrester just seems to have a different, more reserved role now but can't argue that there's been a big drop off this season.
Its taken a while but you got there in the end CJ. Occasionally fans of other clubs making outside observations are not an assault on a club or begrudgery - Seeing the wood for the trees in the face of overinvested denial!
One save in the first half was unreal. Jake Mulraney delivered a perfect cross, Ruairi Keating did everything right to head it to the bottom corner and the keeper somehow got a hand to it.
I really enjoyed it. Hard to believe such an end-to-end game could finish scoreless.
Nothing to worry about in the end, Duff got everything right with one of our best performances of the season despite Rob Hennessy's usual pathetic efforts to screw us over. Kam Ledwidge outstanding in place of Molloy and Evan Caffrey with his best performance in a Shels shirt running the show in middle of the park in place of Coyle
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Just noticed that didn't even make the highlights! Was surely the closest either team came to scoring.
It didn’t make the highlights ? Holy Cow. Probably the best piece of football in the match. Great run and cross from Mulraney, super header from Keating, which looked in all the way, and an outstanding save from the Bohs keeper.
Thought Pats had the better chances alright, though it was probably even enough on the balance of play.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
The company that make the highlights are quite clueless to be fair. There’s always a lot of stuff they don’t add to the highlights package that really should be in there but then they’ll show 3 or 4 replays of a fairly innocuous chance. It’s pretty clear that whoever makes them comes from a video editing background and not a football background or a combo of both. For example in the highlights of tonight’s game we got to see several replays of Mulraney putting a ball 30 yards over the bar from 25 yards, but not the brilliant first half save Chorazka save from Keating’s header or his late save from Kavanagh’s decent effort from 20 yards. I always take the highlights packages with a pinch of salt as they can’t really be trusted to give a totally accurate representation of how games go

Shocking decision to disallow a Drogheda goal that would make it 2-2 at the time. It was ruled out for offside while Daniel Kelly was clearly standing on the line for Derry. Abysmal stuff

Dundalk were dreadful tonight, deserved absolutely nothing, Waterford had probably only 2-3 chances and took them, well organised and fit side, incredible rise to 3rd.
With Sligo 'surprise' win (or was it) v Rovers, seems to be nailed on now for the Co Louth OK Corral shoot out, whoever is the worst goes down, the marginally better gets the play off.

#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).
Unexpected win from my perspective in Showgrounds tonight. Towell could off nearly had a hat trick early on. Delighted for Power and then when he turned to us in the stand after he bungled in the first goal only on pitch, legend but you could see what it meant to him, dodgy keeper lol
Shams missed a rake of chances but Ed only had to make one decent save from JK in the second half. We were well on top most of the second half. Great second goal. So talented but such a pity he’s so injury prone. Hopefully keep hold of Ed and Denham and get a striker in.
Shams could lose another fortune this season and no CL football for 25 by the looks of it
