QuoteTreaty United 5 - 1 Longford Town Social Media Club
Fans are calling for change
Treaty comfortable against a truly woeful Longford tonight.
I don't think I've ever seen a team improved as much by subsitutions as much as Longford were for the final 30 minutes or so.
Another hattrick makes it 11 in 16 for Lee Devitt.

Really good gave in Tolka tonight. Awful defending by us got their 3 goals and goal of the season contender from Elding.

I’d give anything for a draw at this stage.
Rovers looking ominous.
Can’t believe I had this down as 1-1 in my predictions.Originally Posted by Keen2win
One of the worst ever displays by a Dundalk side in a long time in the first half tonight v Kerry, they could and prob should have gone in 2-0 up, yet we managed to go 1 up just before half time. I think Healy will do a really good job there in time.
A new record tonight, saw both goals live in the upstairs bar in oriel park on LOI TV, christ there is nothing appealing about the FD, in no rush to head back to your seats, lets hope its a one off season visit.

Yeah, looked for a while like Mason had single handedly pulled it out of the fire with two superbly taken goals. Overall though we were pretty poor again. Waterford looked stronger all around the pitch and a draw was probably the least they deserved. You could just sense their equaliser was coming.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Didn't bite to your previous idiotic post about club volunteers but I'm going to now. You do realise the clubs social media department has saved the club tens of thousands of euro since 2020 thanks to the club being able to produce it's own LOI TV stream. Not one person involved is taking a penny out, not even expenses. In fact, it costs most of us on the team around 60-80 quid per home game in travel and food expenses. I've even on several occasions turned down well paid broadcast work elsewhere as I'd already committed to LTFC. The last two seasons have absolutely stunk. There's plenty of times I've been driving up and down from the north thinking Jesus I wish I could just go out for a few pints like a normal person or bring the missus out for dinner or just chill after a long week of work instead of driving to what I know will be another certain defeat in front of a tiny crowd but instead I'm putting outrageous milage on my car and body just to help out the club. There is absolutely no reward or privilege other than I enjoy doing it and helping the club save money. There isn't a single volunteer at the club who is pleased with the position we are in. You're going around and posting Eldings name under ever thread and across every platform you can, that's your own business, you're entitled to an opinion but to come on here and say people volunteering at the club are happy with the situation and are doing well out of it is complete and utter nonsense.
I just think the social media team should stick to the cameras and microphones! Leave the football to people who are involved in the game! Hopefully Elding gets his opportunity to turn the club around 🙏
Felt the best team won in the brandywell tonight, thought derry huffed and puffed but didn't strike me as a side full of confidence, determined to win. Rovers were happy to play themselves into the game and take advantage when it would eventually arrive.
Michael Noonan really is a star in the making and I thought matthews and cleary were solid-ish all night,,Burkey is just a wonderful exponent of the football game.
1 more game before the break and the onset of European football - what's not to like
Sorry, I forgot to mention that we pick the team, appoint the manager and sign the players.
Thankfully didn't make it to Limerick, went to Oriel but my goodness that was a poor Dundalk performance, in fairness to Killer and the players they said as much themselves after.
Kerry should have been in front only for Minogue and a Daryl Horgan goal line clearance.
A minute after Horgan bailed them out Gaxha scores one of the most ridiculous goals I've ever seen, outrageous strike and he definitely meant it too. Horgan with a worldie of his own to wrap it up, Kerry dropped off second half but they'll definitely improve under Healy.
Would find it difficult to see Dundalk staying up next season unless theres big investment. Also, that pitch was an abomination tonight.
Well you as a supposed neutral is talking smack about Elding who made history for our club. You said winning the first national league title for ltfc (the worst academy by results at the time) is nothing. And you said our opinions are equal, which I found a bit offensive as I have a LOI medal in my back pocket too.. that's football, it's a results business. You are involved in broadcast media and journalism, it's actually a completely different industry. You are also an entrepreneur which I respect immensely, however when it comes to football Eldings success cannot be questioned nor can the way his successful ltfc team played - trying to play him down constantly when nothing was ever directed at you was strange. I want LTFC to win, and Elding is the man to do that and as a journalist you shouldn't be writing false hit pieces and as a minimum he is allowed a right to respond. The man is brilliant and the fans would love him, there just seems to be some reason the media team in particular is against him!
Popcorn is on the side.....
100% agree on both, if Dundalk go up, only chance of staying up is if over half the current squad leave and replaced by solid PD exp players, that will take a lot of $$$, as for the pitch, its beyond dreadful, there is a sports capital grant of 500k or so confirmed, only problem is, the club have to pay for new pitch or at least significant deposit themselves first, that will be tricky.

Great game between Pats and Waterford last night. We totally dominated the first 30 minutes but only had 1 goal to show for it. Melia then gets 2 goals in a few minutes, the 2nd after a bad mistake from Olayinka left him clear on goal. Pats were better in 2nd half but we came back into it, got on top and Conan Noonan got a deserved equaliser for our first draw of the season.
Longford only have three fans, and two of them are fighting. Come on lads. (J/K)
Good win for us last night, and we're in no position to slag fans with half the ground staying away last night, but an important win. So much sloppy passing and a whole lot of huff and puff from us, but last night was definitely about winning ugly. Awful game of football though, from both sides, on a difficult wet and windy evening. It was never ever a penalty for Cork's goal. The ball was fired at Esua's hand from what I could see, but you see them given in England with VAR too, but it was incredibly soft IMO. Cork looked decent going forward especially though Mbeng, but you can see why they're struggling at the bottom too.
I don't think that matters - if the defender has his arms in an unnatural position (eg wide out) then it's handball all the same. You can't place your arms in a position likely to block the ball and then claim accidental handball when you do block it.
Not fully convinced it was a penalty for all that, but the rule is more than just "ball to hand rather than hand to ball"
Don't think it was a penalty for us last night either but tbh it was certainly a free (and a red card) and given we'd already scored a free and missed a rake of penalties lately, maybe Harps should have been happier taking their chances with a peno
A draw would've been a fair result, but that's football. Rovers definitely played themselves into the game, controlled possession in the 2nd half Derry lack the ability to get the ball down and rely on the counter. The early Winchester booking didn't help us, but we need a fit Dummigan or Diallo in there to sit behind CW and O'Reilly to dictate the pace of the game. If Rovers do win the league, it will be some achievement with hardly having any break or preseason. Realistically they need to bank the points now like Shels did last year, it will be hard slog down the line unless they exit Europe earlyFelt the best team won in the brandywell tonight, thought derry huffed and puffed but didn't strike me as a side full of confidence, determined to win.

As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls
Absolute screamer from Owen Elding for Sligo last night, rocket of a strike. He's very lucky to have learned everything he knows from his father Anthony Elding, the best manager this country has ever seen as proved by his LOI U17 title win, which crucially came from his experience as a league 2/non league journeyman
