No they won't, stop being so silly.

He's not being silly. He's a prophet. Drogs are coming off the back of a good season but the honeymoon is over for Cookie. The harsh realities are that Dundalk are a team on the up while Drogheda are destined to return to their more natural position in the lower reaches of the table.

We play Drogheda in Oriel on the 28th of this month. Result of that game should back up my opinions. I predict a solid 4th place finish for the Lilywhites with the Drogs languishing in 7th.

Interesting, assuming you'll finish ahead of two of....Sligo, Rovers, Pats, Derry & Cork? dont see it myself but i suppose, in our league you simply never know.

Actually, when was the last time Dundalk finished in the top 4?

Be some turnaround considering you couldn't beat our reserves up there a couple of weeks ago.

Load of cobblers. Both sides were understrength. Probably about four first teamers started on each side. And your lot only won the game on penalties.

At this stage I'd like to think they would be there or there abouts going into the 3rd series of matches. If they have enough to go on from there then, i dont know probably not at the minute.

Can't see Drogheda finishing near the two Rovers or Pats myself. I think 4th would be an excellent season after over performing last year.

I can understand everyone saying that, it makes sense. But Cooke has quietly added a couple of good players and cleared out a lot of the deadwood.
One thing is for certain - we won't be in a relegation battle.

I see your Sean O'Conner and raise you Gary McCabe

Even with McCabe having gone AWOL when on loan at Shels, I still can't have that one.

Where did they finish under Ian Foster..maybe in 2010? I remember they had a strong start and a decent middle of the season like Pats and then declined away at the end...like Pats..

Wexford Yths 0-1 Athlone Town. Ryan Coombes

While Killian Brennan is one of, if not the most gifted player, in the league....He is rash, goes over the top and does one moment of magic in every 10.

Nobody is near Joey in terms of ability. He might be good, but hes not Joey N'do.

4 or 5 ran the length on the pitch. Kinda funny in that when it came to it and our fellas confronted them they all bottled it. One Bohs got dragged down the tunnel alright. I assume he will have a nasty fall. Dickhead.

Awful game thus far. Bohs playing like the home team.

Hammer Archer

3-0 to Derry at half time. Patterson with a hattrick. We're beating ourselves though. First came from Ger Barron getting caught in possession leaving an open goal, second was from us passing straight to Patterson in defence and the third came from a free after Barron was judged to have handled outside the box.
Derry have been the better side but haven't had any real chances apart from the ones we've gifted them.

UCD not offering much. Derry deserve their lead really.

Captain Havoc

Any Shels players sent off yet?

GLaDOS

2-1 Cork sounds like they're all over us

donfers

drogs equalize against limerick late on

they have had three penalties and also had three sendings off inflicted on lims including the manager, never known of a game like it when one team has had so much off the ref

incredible stuff, you'd be forgiven for thinking that limerick conspiracy theorists about the FAI are onto something

Red for shels

Shels down to 10. Sean Connor must be their discipline coach:pac:

ShamoBuc

...and Dundalk score!!

Mr.Crinklewood

Shelbourne even managed to get a goal sent off.

Mushy

So Derry won 6-0 and UCD ended with 10 men. Much a continuation of the first half.

Lovely Bloke

Matthews can eff off.

Jaysus, what a horrible performance, what a horrible night. We just didn't seem to turn up tonight. We had a bit more of the play in the last half hour, but that seemed more because by that stage, Shams were two up and happy to let us have the ball. So many silly mistakes that was summed up by the first goal conceded before gifting them two more.

We came into it slightly towards the end of the first half, but that goal just after the break really killed us. I'm only going to go on about Clarke too much, but the fact is that he was at fault for the goal and we just have to expect more of the same from him throughout the season as he's not very good.

It was a strange decision by Bucko to take Forrester off. I know he wasn't in the game that much, but he's always a threat, especially considering that Murphy who replaced him hasn't been great on the left hand side for us so far. Why not switch Brennan out left and bring Forrester into the middle and see how that worked before making the substitution?

Overall, just a deeply deeply disappointing and worrying performance tonight from Pat's.

Lovely Bloke

^^ at least you have Tuesday to look forward to against TenManShels

chopperbyrne

Comfortable performance from Rovers tonight. For all of Pats possesion in the second half they only made one good chance that Murphy saved excellently.

Youngfella enjoyed his first match, but I think I'll wait until it's warmer to bring him again.

I honestly was going to put money on them today having a player sent off. They're ridiculous at this stage.

dreamers75

Never showed up and Rovers punished us, didnt let us play impressed with Rovers Left back had Byrne in his pocket.

We started to play after 70 minutes but the game was over.

Rovers scored from their 3 chances, all stupid mistakes by us.

Banners were embarassing, seriously try harder. They were on the same level as the mis spelt Celtc ones.

/whats up with all the germans in LOI? load of BVB fans in with pats tonight and few hannover fans coming on tuesday. And yet the FAI turns off the ability for anyone outisde ireland to watch the live games....

Lovely Bloke

SPA still no sponsor?

I genuinely LOL'd at that comment.... this being the same KB that played for Bohs & Rovers? I doubt he'd be an upgrade for anybody based on his net contribution to his teams over the last 2 or 3 years.

Be interesting to see what the junkies think of him in November. One swallow, does not a summer make.

Ah did it? Great to hear. It's good to spread some cheer and laughter.

Anyway, Killian Brennan is a better player than Sean O' Connor.

Good win for us.

Kavanagh had super game.

To be fair, the ref got all the major decisions spot on, including the Limerick peno.

Good victory for us tonight, although 6 nil probably says more about UCD than it does us.

The behaviour of some of the Bohs support in Turners Cross tonight was disgraceful.:mad::mad:

Shamed their own club and spoiled the game for the majority.

Lovely Bloke

How many of them was it, 6 or something?

"Shamed" alright

It seems it was the Bohs fans frightened in the end.

I have lost count at the times I have seen Bohs fans looking for fight and when they get one they run, very fast.

I actually found it funny. You know its going happen everytime.

One is too many.

And yes it was a shame on your club and LOI football. Also you might not be concerned but we are trying to do things right down here in Cork.

Kid near me was crying as 2 morons decided to take on a group of City fans in middle of the game.

Oat23

There seems to always be kids crying at games whenever ANYTHING happens, a few lads run onto the pitch and there are kids crying?

We're raising a bunch of sissies. My generation weren't this soft 20 years ago!

The idiot dragged down the tunnel really let ye down. Was seen outside the ground bawling like a 4 year old.

Seems to be the mental age of the bohs baby crew that turned up. They certainly weren't 24 hour party people anyway. Never saw such incompetence in trying to unfurl a banner.
