Games weekend 11th/12th July

Another night, Dundalk could have won 5 or 6 nil. So many great chances missed. Were able to cut Bray apart a fair few times, just didnt hit the back of the net.

Their penalty was probably outside the box too. But Billy O'Neil is some talent.

Bray have 7 penalties this year. Wondering what is the record in a season ?

Kinda feel it was a fluke result. Very fustrating.

Harps were dreadful last night. Felt like we were turning a corner recently but that was a result we didn't need, and now leaves us ten points off the playoff places. Huge uphill battle now to try and get anywhere near that.

They've had more than that, Murphy has scored 7 but I defo remember him missing at least 1.

Short memories. Dundalk had 11 in 2018.

I think we faced 30 one year. Though that included winning the Super Cup on penalties, being knocked out of the FAI Cup on penalties, and winning the relegation play-off on penalties.

I doubt Bray have the ear of referees or involved in mindgames like Seanie/Kenny/Caulfield on penalty stats. When we had wingers like Duffy and Connolly steaming in to the box at pace the penalty count would have been up. Throw in intricate ballers like McEleney, Benson McGrath that will get kicked. Then excellet game management well 11 penos seems a bit scant. Nobody could do it like Seanie though, a one man penalty machine and league championship charge.

Solid win for us against Harps tonight - only our second home win of the season. But we're on a good run now - 17 points from the last 24. Strangely without the Wexford walkover we'd still be outside the playoffs.

Still can't see us going up though; far too goal shy. But the second third of the season has been much more fun than the first

Not you Stu of all people, its the Premier League, changed from that name about 15 years ago !!!!

Maybe so, yes we had great chances, but all missed and one absolute sitter too, you don't score you obv don't win a game, and our strikers last night esp Ebbe, that was just a brutal effort by him, he has to be scoring more, not like he doesn't know the damn FD !

Amazed Kildfuff took Kenny off and left him on.
