I thoght Dungdalk had it this year, they may have it their bad patch at the worst time possible.

me arse, fingal got a freak result against us fri nite, they will not win da league this season, id put my life on it
. What. Are you serious. You got well and truly beaten. No way was that a freak result. Where you at the match. We may not win the league but at least we will go down trying. Aint no bottlers here.
ye got 4 r 5 chances in da whole game and scored em, i know ye took yer chance and scored but another night it could have been 4 or 5 the otherway, i wont argue with the bottleing part tho
It was 3-1

blues should have easily beaten fingal on friday, fingal had a gud 10-15 spell when they scored, muck for the rest,only other chances they had were on the break because we had to push. if we had some decent striker, it would and easily could have been 4 or 5, and only for Clarke in goal.
in saying that, i dont think we deserve to win the league now, 0-0 against dundalk, and wasting the 2nd chance to go top on friday!
I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.
Lads. We had the better of the first 5 to 10 mins. Waterford then had a decent 10 to 15 after that. Then we murdered yas. Went 3 up and sat back in the second half. The only reason you had the better of the second half is because we let you. I know this, you know this.
Your goal should not have counted because the ball was over the line when he crossed it. Linesman failed to see this. To say you should have easily beaten us is a bit of a joke and seems like sour grapes to me. Do you really think sporting would have played the way we did in the second have if the game was at nil nil. We sat on our lead and hit you on the break. Thats what a team does when you go 3 up.

I honestly can't fathom how fans of a team who conceded 3 goals in a game, can honestly say they deserved to win or should have won that game.
Unless they'd scored 4 goals of course
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
Haha but then they wouldn't have lost the game in the first place
That's neither here nor there, the fact is we DID have the better of the second half, and should have at least equalised on chances. Our penalty was a soft one, but had it been scored I've no doubt we'd have got a third, and deservedly so. Momentum was very much on our side at that point.Lads

That's a load of crap about the ball over the line, BTW. I know this, you know this.
Overall we paid for poor finishing and kamikaze defending in a fifteen minute spell, for which our main culprit was subbed off at half time. Ye had 4 chances and scored three. We had 6-8 and could only score once.
Fair play, ye did what is required to win a game, i.e. score more and concede less, but to say ye murdered us is ludicrous, and goes against both what I witnessed and every single report of the match I've seen since.
Honestly can't fathom how someone could have an opinion on a game they didn't see or hear, but there you go.
more bass
Was in Wexford Friday night,if Dundalk play like that for rest of year we wont be in the top 3,nevermind the top flight,defending was a joke,how Gill could drop Simon Kelly for an unfit and uninterested Aidan lynch baffles me.

Only another 9 titles till Drogheda become pride of county louth!!!
i think the report on extratime pretty much summed up the match.

Of course it matters. You had the posesion because we sat on our lead. You couldnt do anything with the possesion. The fact that you couldnt put the ball in the back says a lot about your team on the night.
,two or three decent chances and the odd half chance. Penalty was soft. You cant just assume that if you scored you would have gone on to draw.
I didnt know waterford lads used crystal balls to predict what happens in matches. Agreed that if you had scored the penalty it would have been tough ending to the match for us. But like you said your side where finishing badly, so no guarantees
Mate. I was sitting down that end, it did cross the line. You would have been looking from the waterford area, much harder to see it. Im not just making this up to add weight to my argument. Believe me it was out.
We where better defenders and better finishers. Thus deserved to win. How many of the 6 to 8 where half chances. I dont seem to remember our keeper flying all over the place to stop all these shots on our goal. We where more clinical and better organised so again i say we deserved to win.
Firstly i didnt say we murdered yous overall. I said we murdered you for that spell at the end of the first half. You had posession for good spells in the game but possesion doesnt win you a game. You didnt know what to do with it thus showing you where poor on the night. Scorline never lies
Look i doubt we will agree on this. You have your opinion and i have mine. Which is fair enough.
All the best for the rest of the season.
Funny thing is. I dont think it did. Theres a surprise for ya
To be honest, at this stage in the season it doesn't matter if your team plays like Brazil - it's all about the points and picking up three points while playing crap will do just fine.. At the end of the day Fingal got the three points and that's all that matters!
wow, i'm shocked

I toough youse looked woeful, hard to believe your so far ahead of us. On saying that Waterford were brutal when they beat us 1:0 at there's recently and we beat Fungus convincingly recently aswell. The difference between top and bottom isnt a vast as most people think.
Here's hoping the youths can get into the top 6 where they should be on the ,ajority of this yrs performances.
A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends
I think as the season has gone on most of the teams not challenging for the title have improved. That coupled with the bottling of the top teams due to nerves against the also rans has meant the gap has closed. Wont mean you will be up there next year.
Fungus, thats terrible, yous play in pink, ha so there
