League of Ireland tonight

Good result for City. 3 on the bounce. Looking good.

Went along to Oriel Park for the Rovers match. Freezing rain spoiled the quality of football but the game definetely had an edge that made it very watchable nonetheless.

On the way home turned on Radio 1 to get match reports from the country and to my dismay RTE had no reporters at the grounds tonight. Our National Broadcaster! Disgrace IMO!:mad:

I was there as well. The match was good enough although not a classic. The weather kind of ruined it tbh. Lost count of the amount of times players slipped.

Still another 3 points made it worth it. I was impressed with drogs. I thought they'd be worse than they were given they lost so many players from last season.

Miserable weather at the cross, but a decent crowd considering (2,174).

Good win, looked like scoring more. 3 wins in the last 3 games, let's hope city can keep it up now.

Results from tonight:
Cork City 1-0 Drogheda
Dundalk 0-1 Shamrock Rovers
Galway 0-2 Bohs
St. Pats 0-3 Derry
Sligo 2-1 Bray Wanderers

Cannot complain about the result. 3 points are 3 points afterall. But I ahve to say, we must have the worst 2 strikers in the league. This Siligalias guy is brutal, and Behan is a lump. How he got MOTM baffles me.

The crowd last night were pretty much all people who would have paid in last night, making the "free" decision all the more baffling.

I was impressed with drogs.

You are kidding right? They were horrible, no imagination, nothing.

Were season ticket holders being handed money on the way in, or were they ripped off? :pac:

Oh, you'd be wrong on that one! Cast your eye towards Richmond Park and you may notice Glen Fitzpatrick and Kyle Moran taking the absolute p!ss.

Last night was a joke. I thought the opening day farce at Galway was bad, but this was worse. No passion at all. Tackling seemed to be banned on the Pat's side last night.

Jeff Kenna is crazy if he thinks John Lester is good enough for Pat's. I wouldn't insult any other club in the league by saying he's only good enough to play for them (even Rovers!! ). Even the first division would be stretching it. He's overweight, huffs and puffs and does f*ck all except gives the ball away, and that's on the rare occasion he even gets near the ball.
Daragh Ryan seemed to forget he was even playing on the left side. The amount of space Derry got down there was incredible and Pat's just didn't seem to learn. Derry carved us open so easily.
I was soaked, i was wet and not even a free Cadbury's Creme Egg upon entrance could lighten the mood as i watched that sh!te.
Three wins and three defeats. That sums Pat's up. I don't think we'll be battling relegation, i don't think we'll be battling for the title, we'll just be smack bang in the middle.

Maybe we can win a cup or something...........

If the ball was in batter he'd get near it.

Although Quigley plays up forward and Fitz usually comes on as a sub. Except he started last night and Moran played on the right side of midfield.

Craziness all over the pitch!!

Kyle Moran is shít.

He played for Shels in our first year of demotion.

That's how shít he is.

Yeah, Michael Keane. He says it was just an excuse to get him off the wage bill. He was probably right though.

In saying that, he was crap whenever he played!

Last night went as expected, pretty much all the favourites won.
Nice to see Cork pick up another 3 points

that was embarrassing stuff last night

how is glen fitz a footballer????? - although he did better in the 2nd half, his first touch was only going 3 feet in front of him as opposed the 12

i wholeheartedly agree on your lester point, i played against him a few years ago and i have to say he was good then, he must spend his spare time eating orphans these days i reckon, he can't even run properly he's that fat

kenna didn't give a sh!t, he just stood there leaning against the dugout watching it all implode. sure harris had to approach the dugout and tell him what to do when derry went down to 10 - rumour has it that there's dressing room trouble, the lads looked like they didn't want to play last night

cream egg was nice though

Darragh Ryan is a terrible left back. Good at going forward but can't defend for his life. Left wing is the only position he can play.

The problem with Pats I think is simply that they have an average/poor manager. His achievements last season weren't much- he kept the team with the best squad out of the bottom four up. I was surprised that it took Galway until the last day of the season to be safe.

Can't complain about a 0-1 win at Oriel and a clean sheet.

We have an average poor side.

Not gonna slate kenna ....yet, we got beat by a good team simple as that we have players Derry have a team.

But without Dempsey i dont think we are better than any team in the league, with him in the middle and our best back 4 playing. we are better than every team in the league.


In defence of Fitz hes a hold up player, no point passing it to him unless your gonna follow up cos it will stick and he will lay it off, our players just not good enough to follow tru.
