QuoteSame again, better team won. Tho I still think Dundalk will be found out in premier.
3 losses in a row now.. badly need a result against Treaty. Can't go to Tallaght with 4 losses in a row
Yep, makes last week even harder to swallow, such a tough run of games, could have done with those 3 points last week.Originally Posted by MoydowMonty

Team selection was beyond bizarre
Happy out with tonight. Can't remember the last time we won a game that comfortably. Dealt with everything they threw at us in the last 15. And a beautiful second goal.
Last season got 6 wins, now we're on 7. 29 points last season and 28 currently. And a full round of games left. Couple more wins and a 6th or 7th place finish would be very respectable considering I had us down to finish bottom at the beginning of the year.
A real test to end all tests next Sunday. Just praying it's something respectable whatever happens
Given the budget they're definitely doing as well as could be reasonably expected. Ups and downs as you get with young players but no lack of commitment.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
This is it in a nutshell for me. I was on here early in the season praising the work rate of the team even though results weren't great. That's all you can ask for really. Fair play to the manager though, he has really improved the team as a whole, as well as some individuals too. The likes to Halwax, Yoro, Manuel have really improved since the start of the season, to name a few. To bounce back from 3 tough defeats against the best 3 teams in the division like that is very impressive.
I honestly haven't enjoyed watching a group of players playing for us as much in years (mainly coz we couldn't go when we were promoted!). But still, a really honest, hard working, young group of lads who are giving it their all. A thoroughly likeable bunch.
Obviously likely to get knocked out of the cup next week, but here's hoping for a miracle. Mon the Town!
Whatever happens tomorrow I just hope the lads put in the effort. I'm really fearing the worst and thinking back to some of the bad losses in last few years to Galway and Cork, I just hope I'm being harsh there. Big ask of them tomorrow though, they'll have to be brave
Absolutely gutted. The lads can be proud of their shift and only being undone because of poxy penalties. But f**king gutted all the same
Season over after that, always feared the bounce factor after Sunday. We were NEVER in contention for the PO's, realistically 7th is an acceptable season and anything above a good season. Disappointing to see us below Kerry given they forgot how to play football the last few months.
I never truly believed we were in a playoff race to begin with, just not consistent enough. Really disappointing after Tallaght. Kinda just want the season to be over now just to have a break from it lol
I had us to finish bottom tbh, so the farther we finish away from there and maybe get to 8th or 7th, that would be some sort of success
The only possible positive of a play off would be a little bit of interest for another week or two. But that was never realistic. We're well behind the top First Division teams let alone the bottom Premier Division teams. With the squad we have we're doing pretty well overall. If I can just win that Euromillions we'll be grand.

I say I'd like the season to end but I'm actually gonna be bricking it over the winter that JH decides he has had enough..and I wouldn't blame him one bit, but I'm expecting it any year now and I'd be seriously worried for the club if there's no investment sorted by then.
