Good result for Drogs
How long are they out for? Miss our game in 2 weeks?Originally Posted by pete
Sounded like City unable to get past the parked bus
Injury list for City mounting with O'Donovan, O'Flynn & Woods, added to the Kearney & O'Callaghan.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Parked bus did its job again!

At least when Shels came to play us Fenlon made sure they played.
Doolin was happy with a 0-0 from the off and for long portions it was 11 Drogs players in their own half.
WAs up to City to break them down and we couldn't.
He will probably play for 0-0 draw at home to the San Marino side too now has his away goal.
Good result for Rovers on both sides IF they were to win tomorrow
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Good result for Pats IF they win tomorrow.

A draw it is then!
It be 1-0 to someone to make it 6 goals in 6 Prem games.
Hopefully to pats.

Gutted really. Drogs came for the draw and got it. We badly missed Roy and Kearney but more annoyingly missed 2 absolute sitters
We could, and did. Unfortunately our chances fell to Denis Behan and Cillian Lordan. As much as I like the 2 lads, they aren't our best from 8 yards, though how behan missed his sitter I don't know.
Drogheda were pathetic, it is especially frustrating to draw with them, sitting on top of the league, never attempting to win the game and basically sitting back waiting for city players to come to them to kick them. Its a good thing kearney wasn't on the field, i'd have feared for his wellbeing, they were hard enough on colin bloody healy.
Dan Connor became the first keeper I've ever seen dive - in "simulation" terms, rather than what you'd expect. Twice. I wonder is it embarressing for a player at a supposed top club to come to the finest ground in the country, full of fans, and use those tactics - diving about, kicking opposition players, continually switching sides for goal kicks and tying laces before taking throws - at the start of the second half. It certainly seemed to get to Connors - his usual performance of gesturing to the fans and lashing out at opposition players, Lordan feeling the brunt of it this particular match.

I blame the ref letting them away with such tactics, Whelan was pathetic, he didn't see Robinsons elbow Healy yet made a big deal of making him go off for treatment, right when we had a corner too.
To add a mere 3 minutes at the end was an insult, we get these refs from time to time, a la Whoriskey the other night and then don't see them for months, presumably cos they've been demoted for being crap.
75% of free kicks today were for Drogheda, most were 50-50 balls or simulation. They got what they came for and Doolin doesn't care about attracting new punters to the EL, just results, who can blame him but the game in general is suffering as a result.

He's a diving *****!! Last year at the Brandy, Pizza went up close to him with his head about a yard away, Pizaa nudged his head a little and Connor jumped 2ft up and 1ft back in the air. The linesman fair play to him saw this and hje was promptly booked. He is one of the biggest time wasters about in LOI football. He's an excellent keeper, if he'd cut all that crap out he'd be recognised as a top keeper more.
Jesus h christ ive heard it all now .Facts are that city are cronic and couldnt break us down .You had 2 chances in the entire game , and one of them happened to fall to fat boy Beehan who has to be one of the poorest players in the eircom leauge .Would he even do the job in the first division ? Doubt it .Your a one man team and when he fooks off to england your in trouble ,now that sicknote is back were he belongs ,on the treatment table .We went for a draw after a really hard few days travel , delayed flights ,seriuos heat and humidity , the players were knackerd . You were at home and it was up to you to break us down and score .You couldnt .Take your oil
If Drogheda win the league it will be a victory for negative, consevative football.
Personally I don't want to watch that kind of ****e.
Ive been more entertained this season by Sligo and Longford than from watching Drogheda, Bohs and Shamrock Rovers.
Stand up for Rico, McDonnell's early season team, Paul Cook, John Robertson. At least their teams have had a go this season.
It's a results based game. Drogs, Rovers and Bohs are the top end which proves it works.
I remember we went to Turner's last year tried to play and got walloped 6-0 yet Rico praised us for trying to play football. Then a few weeks later we played a more conservative game and won 2-1 which pretty much kept us up. I know which performance I preferred.
This approach works. It's not pretty but if a manager wants to win which tends to be the general consensus this is an effective way of doing it.

The league is becoming boring judging by this weeks results in the two divisions, only a handful of goals were scored, are managers afraid of winning matches rather than playing for draws, can't understand why this happening as their is still a long way to go in both divisions. This week's results reminds me of a hilarious sketch I saw by one of the Apres Match crew when he took the pi*** out of the Irish league results.
Thought ye played well that night when yee won 2-1. was one of Gormley's first games and he had a young team out.
I'd add Bray to the list as well. Thought they were excellent against bohs last weak, lots of pace on the wings and Alan Cawley has been class this season.
Stephen Fox is past it though.
I know that the 6-0 was only Eddie's second game, after a 1-1 in Drogheda. The 2-1 was after he'd had a while with the team. It was a good performance but it wasn't attack minded. It was more counter attack and it worked. That's my point.
Yes we have been playing some of the best football I've ever seen in the Carlisle and it's great to watch. And we're doing better so far than last season so I can't complain.
Agreed.

I like to come on to this excuse of a football forum every so often for research purposes, even though I swore I wouldn't do it ever again only a few short months ago. Good to see that the same muppets are posting exactly the same drivel as they have been doing for the last few years. Time to get a life lads, you know who you are.
typical response .We have played some great football this season ,We have also played some crap football and some really defensive football . So what . Ricos little rant today is hilarious .Lets focus on Drogheda utd rather than the fact that you couldnt beat us at home in a must win game for cork .We played derry off the park in the brandeywell and we destroyed Linfield in windsor ! But we never have a go .your a genious .
