Did you miss Dyer’s second for us away to Bohs? Or Warren Davis for Drogheda away to Shels?
Or Hurley last night from 5 yards inside his own half against Pats?
I know it’s one opinion against another, but those three were all special

Thought Eldings goal in Tolka was better so not even the best goal in Tolka

You may jest, but years ago one ambulance callout I had the misfortune of being present for was a young halfwit had scaled a gaelic football post during a game (have no idea why) and in getting down he slid down the post like firemans pole, forgetting the crossbar and the bolts that kept it in place. Used a polystyrene cup to scoop things up ( still attached but dangling free) and taped it where things should be roughly be hanging. My radio call to the ED (pun there too if you like) was busted balls at a football match en route!

Knew there was another Tolka one I was missing - and one in Tallaght as well?

I wish I hadn't read that!

Duffy has more leagie medals than Elding so Duffys one wins!

Yeah there has been three similar outstanding strikes at Tolka this season against Shels that hit the top corner all potential goal of the season contenders - Davis for Drogheda, Elding for Sligo and now Duffy for Derry

I would also rate Elding's the best as it was out of nowhere when he had a moment of space, Davis and Duffy's strikes while superb were aided by Shels' full-backs weakly standing off that you could see what has going to happen when they cut-in from the flank if they struck the ball on target towards the corner

Ha I understood rightly I was just doing a joke and then I read Nesta's post and got my comeuppance in a major way, f****g hell

Given the form Cobh have been on over the last two months or so, probably the biggest challenge we could possibly face tonight, but then it's games like this, and the risk/reward potential involved that are the very reason we joined the league in the first place.

Well to soothe the squeamish some stitches, antibiotics, tetanus and a temporary cowboy strut were all the repairs needed in the end. Now if I were to mention the chap climbing a spiked fence in his short shorts to retrieve a football.....ouch!

Bohs currently hammering Rovers…. We’ve been rubbish and they’ve been superb

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 23/06/2025, 7:48 PM

First half hour from them was as good unbelievably good. Not looking forward to Friday night looking at that.

No idea how Galway didn’t score just before we took the lead

**total hoofball** · 23/06/2025, 7:53 PM

All four goals at the RSC so far have been as a result of embarrassing shambolic defending/errors from both sides, grim stuff

**Longfordian** · 23/06/2025, 8:44 PM

Get to feck Athlone.

**Jack B** · 23/06/2025, 8:45 PM

First 15 minutes was as good as Pats have played all season.

When that period passed without us scoring I knew we were going to lose.

**pineapple stu** · 23/06/2025, 8:54 PM

Wasn't expecting a good win in Bray after the bit of a battering at home on Friday. But will take whatever's going

A result in Longford on Saturday and suddenly we're one defeat in six and a vaguely reasonable run of form
