Midweek Round - Mon 06 Apr

[BigEars]

well deserved 3 points for Rovers, Shels were second best for long stretchs but when Noonan missed a 1 v 1 to make it 4 to 1 it kept Shels in it.
Results accross the weekend werent bad for us , big two weeks coming uo now against Pats and Bohs.....6 points and we are well set

While I would've generally agreed with your opening point, I've just seen there was a blatant handball in the build up to Noonan's goal (right in front of the ref), and the tackle on Freitas looked a definite penalty for me as well, so factoring those in you've a different game.

Shels players were very annoyed with the linesman for Pico's goal, but I have to say from my view behind the goal I thought he looked on, just really bad marking and allowed a free run.

How many of them were signed with this season in mind? Prob quite a few so calm down. You will finish btm half of table. That's your level.

Well the lad that scored the second was signed as a reserve /u20 player last year on amateur terms. Now he is scoring against you in his first Prem start. There is no doubt in my mind Kilduff is getting the very best and the utmost buy-in from the whole squad. Which is all you can really ask for.

Pats were all over the shop defensively in the 1st half, leaving huge gaps at the back, and if there was going to be a third goal, only one team was going to score it.

Id say Pats fans are smarting over the game... As before it, I thought if they could win at Oriel, they could possibly run away with the title. Still might - but it was a game that they need a big performance.

Not having Edmonson and Palmer really changed that Pats team compared to the 1st round game.

Ah, here, we're after winning a Premier Division game after being two goals down for the first time since 1987 and the first time we've done it away from home ever, don't be mentioning 2011

DVDs and 2011 season banned topics - got it!

Yup, you dont sound at all a tad annoyed and hence condescending - slips and deflections, missed chances, draw a fair result blah blah - you lost to a side that their level is bottom half of the table! Something we all thought, will a real struggle of a season, but so far hasnt been the case. Are you Patsdad in disguise?

I'm speaking in facts my friend.
Missed chances for both teams - fact
Dundalk took two of theirs - fact
We missed all ours -fact
1st goal took a wicked deflection - fact
2nd goal our player slipped in the lead up - fact

Yes we lost to a side where their level is btm half of table. Wow imagine an underdog actually winning a game.

To be fair Kilduff is doing a great job and we were very poor at the back. Not the norm considering the run we were on up until tonight.

Saying that, if u told any Pats fan that we would be top after 1st series of games, they would say your crazy. As per usual, Europe is our target. Anymore is a bonus

Swap ya the game in the Bowl


I think there was a rugby game yesterday - pitch was in a bad state. It's been fine most of the season, permanently because Sunday to Friday gives five days to fix it, but Sunday to Monday and it's still in a jocker

The kids said they enjoyed themselves. I’m sure they are referring to McDonalds on the way home.

You are still sounding angrier than you should be. You sure you are not Patsdad?
