Three points at home against Longford would be awesome, but last time we played them in Tolka they scored 5... 5! Five!! :mad:

Win against Galway would be lovely, we owe them revenge, not sure if I'll make the trip up

Dundalk seem to have plenty of players missing for our game with them, so im hoping for the 3 points, but what is more likely to happen is, we go 1 up, sit back and then concede an equaliser like so many games this year.

Im still hopefull I think:o

4 games in Dublin tomorrow, with the chance of all being called off I'd say if that weather doesn't change.

It was drizzling a bit today, but for the most part it was dry.

Pitch should be alright, it's looked a lot better in recent weeks actually.

Pity Raf isn't playing, he's owed a dangerous well-aimed kick.

FT Dundalk 1 - 2 Sporting Fingal
FT Galway 2 - 2 Bohemians
FT St. Patricks 3 - 0 Bray Wanderers
FT UC Dublin 0 - 2 Sligo Rovers
FT Shamrock Rovers 1 - 1 Drogheda United


Some strange results and at the break.



Top of the league with a game in hand, wont win it and if the transfers rumoured to be happening go ahead be lucky to stay in the top 3. But happy with the all round effort so far, think we need 2 or 3 players for our 1st 11 and maybe 2 or 3 more for the bench, we have a decent 8ish.

Hate tuesday matches around 600 there tonight

What is it with 92nd minute equalizers in Tolka? Sigh, .

applehunter

Fair to say that no team has been that much better than the others as the table shows.

Don't think Sligo will be too happy with this break. They had started to get a settled team together and were on a roll.

What transfers are rumoured to be happening?

Ronan|Raven

Dan Connor to Bohs virtually a done deal, Williams going back to scotland.

M Quigley was rumoured to be coming back to us but after breaking coughlans leg dunno whats going on but we getting a bohs player for Connor. Good keeper but Rogers is into voodoo this season only reason i can think off to explain his awesomeness

That Dan Connor move still on? Shameful stuff really.

Brilliant win for us tonight. Dundalk had the better off the first half and we where the better in the second. Brilliant second goal for our win.
Sending off was a joke and so was the ref.

Good result heading into the break.

Done deal according to my fellow commentator

Happy with the point in the end. Great game! The score reflected the game I thought, there weren't a whole lot of clear-cut chances.

Penalty looked a bit soft, the ref had a nightmare.

Madden was fantastic (cheeky lob first half, also hit a sweet one in the second that went narrowly over), took his goals well and was full of running all game. That's exactly what you need when you're down to ten and also with Byrne going off injured.

Flood's injury in the first half limited United's attacks. King, despite his goal, simply couldn't compete with the muscle of their centre-backs. Foley put in another good performance.

Which was debatable in itself...

Draw probably fair result though, our first half performance was a disgrace

Not as bad as Rovers - demoralised team at 0-1 with two wingers on the bench and two non-wingers playing on the wings. They nicked another point home. Something like 4 wins from 10 at home now..

Shocking performance

Why, what happened? All I saw was a goalmouth scramble!

Looking at the replay, doesn't look like the ball crossed the line

Can't understand why our best midfielder was played wide.

SOC should have started.

The size of our squad really came back to haunt us. Completely dominated the match until Murphy our 17 year old left back got injured. Foster moved Maher who was dominating midfield back to left back and we lost the upper hand. Fair play to Fingal they played some good stuff and were one of the few teams that came to Oriel to play football.

The mid-season break definitely came at the right time for us. We're playing poor and carrying a few knocks whilst some of the teams around us are on good form. This gives us a chance to recover and regroup as I think our first choice 11 has proved a match for any team in the league.
