I don't think we're stuck for players in that postion tbh so I wouldn't worry about it.

Our second goal was great pressure from a ball they should've cleared and great football and finish...but that was never going to last and the gap between the midfield and defence opened up and it's how they got their first goal.

The wind died down early in the second half and it was a different game, but they never really threatened Clayton other than the goal. As the game went on we dominated which shows some fitness and as I coincidentally in line with the penalty box, it was a stonewall penalty - forearm shove in the back. He couldn't have missed it, so he just decided not to give it..

Some sublime play first fifteen minutes, we tore into them and deserved the lead. I felt we tired though, and let them back in. fitness again is my thinking on it.

Poxy reffing not to give the penalty, he bottled it big time, but we have to take that kind of thing on the chin.

I would agree once we went 2 up we took the foot off and allowed the far to much space and time on the ball. For me Gary played very well he was hitting his tackles hard and made some important challenges as we pushed forward for the winner.

How he didnt award a penalty I'll never know especially for some of the crazy decisions he gave against us.

There second goal was ridiculous. A few times they came in from the left wing unchallenged and one of these times they got the 2nd goal.

A great 15 mins in the first half and a lesson learned to keep the pressure on.

Good stuff lads, fair play...though it sounds like the standard of reffing hasn't changed much so that's a pity but it's a very good position to be in at this time and I'm yet to see any suggestion that any lost points were down to giving 100% and playing to full ability but falling short. So that means there's more in the tank and hopefully that can be unleashed in the new year to drive it home.

My own outlook is I do hope to make it back at some stage but not sure when that might be. Surgeon has now diagnosed me with a separate shin problem to the compartment syndrome that the surgery was to address so that's about as much a bummer as talking your way into Angelina Jolie's pants and then finding out she has a lad would be. He reckons the pressure reduction might help this other problem with time so I'm limited to non-impact work at the moment and will start gradually introducing impact shortly. There may come a point where I say f**k it if I think the shins are never gonna improve and if that happens I'll be back but having to play through that problem. Good news is he says the groin problem should hopefully be solvable through exercise.

Anyways, happy chrimbo lads. Gav and Cathal will be on the 12 Pubs (accept no imitations - this is the real deal going since 1998) with us this Saturday....5pm start in Brogans Dame Street.....might work for a bit of a squad session?

yes Jules, there is plenty more in the tank. up until last night, we didnt play to our full performance capability, but in the first half last night, we donimanted for 20 minutes and played as well as ive seen any boards team play. we should have been 4-1 up at least.

as re the 12 pubs, me, dan, art and mick are doing one, im sure we will bump into you at some stage, whats your route? we have 3 routes, not yet decided on which one, but theres the same 7 or 8 pubs on all of them, so wont differ much. let me know and ill try arrange to be in the same pub as you at some stage...first there and first out wins

Fair play on a great result lads, as a follower that table makes great reading going into the Christmas break. Looking forward to the New Year and watching how the title race unfolds.
