Not too often you see 4 subs at HT but Athlone went for it tonight,made absolutely no difference and they conceded 2 more,some win for Treaty ….
You could say that tonight at the RSC was a vintage 2024 Shels level masterclass of unspectacularly managing out a 1-0 away win even with a man advantage for final half hour

Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Kerry were "resilient" in a scoreless draw away to Cobh. Frustrating to lose RK early. Hopefully the knee injury won't be as bad as feared.
Another 1-0 win for Dundalk. I'll be concerned that they'll find their scoring form in their next game. They will test Kerry's resilience for sure. Treaty in another 5 game match. This time they scored 5 instead of losing after a 2 goal lead. Disregarding their late collapse against Cobh, Treaty look to be in a good place for the season ahead. Look to have strong playoff hopes. Early doors of course. Pinch of salt and all that.
In the Premier. Good win for Derry. Shels win again. They'll have wanted to start the season strong. Pat's off to a sticky start. Not unknown for SK teams but they won't want to be too far off the pace. Superb win for Drogheda. Can it be called a "statement win"?

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
In all my years observing across the water I have never seen a goal of such quaity from Aidan Keena and flick and shot was with either foot! What on earth happened with the sendings off of AR & TL ? It was all out for leather stuff and hard to get a proper view of it!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
From what I seen - Reynolds body checked Ferguson as he passed so his sending off clear. Lynch went into Bohs technical area and although I don;t see him pushing or hitting anyone, checked with a FIFA Observer who says crossing tech area aggressively is a straight ref - so assuming he said something.Originally Posted by Martinho II
Didn't know that, but explains why Lynch was sent off, even if it was arguably not "aggressive".
Footage of it here. Reynolds was out of order.

There was some afters in the stand between the two managers then, but it all calmed down fairly quickly.
Felt like we really needed that win last night. Not the greatest of games, but a really physical battle. Another lovely Duffy free kick against Bohs. I get why they must be sick of the sight of him. Reminds me of us and Denis Behan of Cork.
As said, Ronan Boyce could well have been sent off, but ref played advantage, then Thomas committed a yellow card offence, so took the pressure of him.
Need to mention Keena's goal last night. Outstanding technique. Really special.
Looked more like he caught him with a punch, not hard but enough to have connected.
100%. That Thomas foul looked very professional to me, he spared Boyce the second yellow. I always think it peculiar the way that soccer refs sort of forget (or at least don't act on) the foul before the immediate foul.
The red cards for managers..... meh. Nothing there, I think. But it probably does Lynch a bit of good in terms of squad building to get sent off like that. Possibly should have got better value for it, wee bit of aggro, etc.
Another pitch inspection in Tallaght at 4pm. Not great for travelling fans. 3 games in less than 72 hours on a sodden pitch not great.
Ferguson belted the ball towards the beach as Reynolds went to retrieve it.
The worst of the weather has certainly passed Dublin I find it very strange to schedule another pitch inspection in the afternoon two hours before kick-off
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
So do I. Hopefully it goes ahead.
Fully expecting the game to be called off just as we arrive in Tallaght
The weather is grand in Dublin at the moment for what it's worth, and it's not due to rain anymore.
Never mind that last bit.
One of the heaviest showers I’ve ever seen in Tallaght at the moment. Might be the end of any hope the game goes ahead.
Both clubs have tweeted that the game is on.
The KO time and the weather could combine to cost Rovers a fortune here.
It cleared up in Tallaght around lunchtime but the wind really kicked up and then the heavens opened.
Got absolutely soaked running from the square carpark to the Maldron and then the rain stopped immediately

There’s an injury asking to happen on that pitch
