QuoteCant see us getting anything out of Dundalk, like Cork last season, a cut above the rest. The 3 games after that Treaty h, Harps a and UCD h would be ones youd hope to get some results.
Saw Dundalk against Treaty and wasn't overly impressed but it seemed to click against Bray which is the fear as we saw what happened when it clicked for Cobh after a slow start

Would sadly agree, conceding over 2 per game, we aren't scoring 3 in Oriel. GK is a huge concern although Cherrie might give us a chance if we're lucky.

I'm sorry but this keeper is by far and away the worst performing player in that squad so far this season. If you're young McCarthy you have to be wondering what has to happen to get a look in. If it's because he was in goal for that 6-0 in the cup last year, that was not his fault.
Decent effort all things considered. I'd fancy a go at Treaty next week
Brilliant effort from the lads tonight, agree again about the keeper tho
Considering we are likely to be at the bottom ennd of the table the results in other games didnt do us any favours! Could do with getting a result against Treaty, the following week its Finn Harps away, followed by Wexford and UCD.
I'm after noticing Kerry have had their merch available to buy online for a couple of weeks now. So are we now the only club who don't have anything available to purchase?
I don't know what's going on there, but nearly April and not having the new stuff available is a bad look with the league now as popular as it is. Fairly sure the announcement said the jersey would be available to purchase soon as well.
Treaty game will probably be tougher that I realised. In my head they hadn't won a game for a few weeks but they had a comeback draw against Dundalk and probably just fell at the final hurdle against Wexford.
But hopefully we've another good crowd after that cracker against Kerry and the lads should be well up for it after that and nearly holding Dundalk
Treaty should be higher up the table, threw away games against Cobh and Wexford and as you said they are the only team to take points off Dundalk. Having watched them in Oriel that night they are a typical Tommy Barrett side, extremely well organized and they will be very physical, hopefully Aaron Walsh being back fit can help us with that as I'd worry about us getting pushed around a bit here, particularly on set pieces. Their keeper had a mare against Dundalk that night so we need to be putting him under pressure as much as they'll be trying to do the same to Halwax. I can see if Being a fairly scrappy game, whoever keeps their discipline best and wins the most individual battles is likely to shade it. No enda Curran thank God. We could really do with Dean Georgie bursting into life against his former club here.
Delighted with win tonight. Great to get the 3 points after last nights results. Tight table, 3 points between 3rd and 12th!
Thrilled with that. Withheld the pressure and fought hard for that win
Took like 15 games to get to 2 wins last year, this year it has taken us 6. Just gives a bit of hope for the year
A win next week and we are flying. No away win since July and that remains Wayne's only one so we could do with righting that.
A win tomorrow and we could be 4th....a loss tomorrow and we could be last.
I mightn't get to watch it tonight but I'll be checking in on the game minute by minute. A win tonight would make it 3 wins from last 4, and I can't remember the last time we did that. Personally think it'll be a draw but a very winnable game too
Think it will be a tough game with the great Kevin McHugh being Harps new boss. Our record in Ballybofey isnt great. Will gladly take the draw!Originally Posted by MoydowMonty
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Tough is right. I'd have taken the draw before the game but after being uo against 10 men it's a tiny bit disappointing. Seemed to let Harps bully us near the end.
I'm not too annoyed though. This is still a lot better than this stage last season. Onwards and upwards to another tough one against Wexford on Tuesday now
Think with the fiasco over the pts wouldnt mind us gettin a pt from Ferrycarrig!

They had a very good win last night themselves I'd certainly take a point from that game too. 8 points from our last 12 isn't bad at all in fairness
You'd probably take 1 loss and 1 win, better than two draws. UCD on Saturday is a big opportunity given their start but looking at their squad they've too much quality not too click, strangely enough they should enjoy playing in longford given the state of their pitch.
