Cruel game.

You'd have to feel for Tommy as the camera scanned to him despondent in the dugout.

Phew! Thought we had thrown away 2 points there. Was it a Peno lads? I didnt see the game.

Great set of results for Shels tonight :-D

What are the odds of Shels winning all of the remaining matches by 2:1 goals?

The_Kew_Tour

I would love to see what table would look like if you took away the goals from 85th minute onwards.

Crazy stuff although we were unlucky, just like last week.

Limerick next week. Might make trip up.

As a Shels fan, I know full well that's a lie!!

Ooh, Salthill beat Cobh 1-0 in Drom so now they are level on points!

Sickened when I heard about Pats late late goal. Would have been just a point behind Pats had Cork held on. Dundalk weren't great tonight. Bray were better team in the second half but we hung on for a narrow victory.

No excitement at all in the LOI ! Why do you nutcases follow this rubbish ? ......

Bray threw everthing but the kitchen sink at us tonight,scrappy enough game but byjaysus at the end you knew you had a strong oul beating heart .
Bray deserved a draw tbh.Hit the bar,the post,Cherrie saving on a couple of occaisions. Jayo doing nothing all night and then bamm! It realy was backs against the wall stuff from Dundalk in the last 15 as they lay very deep.
I need a beer.

GLaDOS

Big night of results down the bottom. Happy with the point even though it leaves us bottom. Drogs can feel very hard done by given the amount of chances they had. Anto Murphy with a big impact on his return. Lot more positivity around Dalymount.

Hammer Archer

How on Earth do such incompetent officials continuously get games? Not sure what the deal with the linesman but he must have failed a course in UCD at some stage.
First red was a yellow at most. Extratime say Langtry threw an elbow, but it was a shoulder to the chest. Second red was a complete farce. Referee was 5 yards away from the incident and (rightly) deemed it only worthy of a talking to. Yet the same linesman who was 40 yards away was going mad trying to get the referee to send Kavanagh off. He really is a disgrace of an official.

On a better note for us, Craig Walsh's goal will be contender for goal of the season.

Didn't really catch either of the sendings off but you almost definitely would have got something out of the game without them.

Probably. Maybe not all three but would have gotten a draw I think.
Really screws us up for next week against Bohs with two of our first choice defenders suspended. Anything but a win leaves us in massive trouble.

Ill gladly go with the draw and a Shels win in Bray to give us some breathing space.

Corholio

Hopeless away tonight despite another late goal. Where the **** were the fresh legs Tommy?? McNulty was keeping us in it until that penalty. Dont even have the energy to fully have a go off Flood for diving all over the place.

Pats are a good team no doubt, I feel bit sick though a City team paying them so much respect it was bordering on cowardice. Tommy has to go now, we need a lift with Shels and Bohs picking up points.

applehunter

Hard to argue with one of the banners from the much maligned section on here.

1 step forward, 2 steps back.

We are getting worse not better under Tommy Dunne. A change has to be made because relegation's looming the way we are playing.

May I ask, what is his point of view? Is he blaming the fans?

How far off Europe are we?

We've actually got a couple of players fit this week so I don't think Elding will start. Though he could do well if he does. Himself and Raf together got a lot of goals early on.

Not really. We need to stop dropping stupid points. That doesn't change based on what others do.

To be fair he hasnt fallen into the trap of blaming fans yet. He has blamed injuries, players concentration, referees and expectation. Well I guess thats kind of blaming the fans.

Just overawed there tonight. Pats and City have had fair few battles down the years but that was as far from a battle as you could imagine. Funnily enough, the late goals make it seem we're a bit unlucky to someone who sees the results. We haven't been. Can't think of a single really good 90 minutes we've played all season.

I was behind the goal and it was a definite penalty. Sure, Brennan went down easily, but what does Kilduff expect to happen when he decides to pull his jersey. You just can't do that.

I though it was a sending off as well. I watched the whole incident because I knew someone was going to throw the head in and the other fall down, it just turned out to be Spillane who fell for it in the end. It was idiotic.

I thought McNulty in goal for Cork was magnificent. Really kept Cork in it and he didn't deserve to be on the losing side, delighted as I am that he was.

We deserved the victory in the end, but jaysus it was a close run thing. Great feeling to see that net ripple at the end though.

Pats peno

That peno picture looks fairly conclusive to me.

gimmick

SPA are a good side no doubt and deserved to win that game but the manner of which was sickening. I have no doubt people will be sharpening their knives even further ad a result but what can you do? Had we held on it was a great away performance and Tommy done right. The fact we lost Tommy is a c@nt.

Fact is we have no one on the bench who could have helped last night. Had Danny Murphy not put his throw straight out of play 30 seconds previous SPA wouldn't have went up and scored.

Next 2 games are huge but I think we will get 6 points.

The_Kew_Tour

Limerick are sliding back and with Bohs at home I be disappointed with anything less then 4 points.

That_Guy

Huge point for us last night. Absolute relief around Dalymount when it went in. 4 points from 2 games now with UCD next week. Seem to be turning the corner slowly but surely and at the right time too.

Anto Murphy was MOTM for me. Won nearly everything and really settled in well. On the flipside, Keith Buckley was dirt last night. He's not a winger.

Mulligan looked lively when coming on and Dinny looked sharp up front.

Delany's distribution is fúcking dreadful.

Could've easily lost the game. Drogheda the more threatening side and if not for the crossbar, surely would've taken all 3 points.

Delighted with a point anyway.

It is, but at least, he is not using foul language, such as 'deplorable', in public

About the penno...looks pretty much like one, I'm afraid to tell you. All that shirt pulling stuff might be overrated, since it doesn't cause any harm, but the UEFA wants fair play and stuff :rolleyes:

Ya was a peno alright, for the shirt pulling. Silly from Kilduff but only without him so far we'd have been dragged even further back last few weeks.

Not confident about the next 2 games, Limerick and Bohs. Definitely need to win 1 of them, its hard to be too confident with displays like last night.

Would put the house I don't own on a draw in the showgrounds tonight.

That would be nice.

markc1184

Story of Drogheda's season, creating chances but not putting them away. Then making stupid mistakes at the back or switching off when marking to allow teams in to score.

It was an elbow, I was looking directly at it, meanwhile you were 50 yards further away.

He threw an elbow, maybe it didn't connect, maybe it did, but thrown the elbow was.

Were you at this match even? The ref booked him, and forgot he had booked him previously, the lino was "going mad" because he was telling the ref it was a second yellow.:rolleyes:

absolutely brilliant goal, definite GOTS candidate.

Let's see on MNS. I was side on to the incident and saw no elbow. Perhaps I am wrong.

Oh dear. You should probably check your facts before you use the ol' :rolleyes:
It was a straight red card. Kavanagh hadn't been booked before that. Hugh Douglas had. If you don't believe me, have a look at Extratime's report.

Madworld

Delighted with the point against Drogheda, they were probably the better team on the night.

It was never likely to happen, but it would have been nice to get the three points against them and suck them into this relegation battle.

Gavin "shels"

Only got home from my holidays this afternoon, but that table made great viewing and got rid of the holiday blues!

0-0 in Sligo

Shames 12th draw.

Sligo won 3 in last 13 after winning 1st 8.

We get a penalty and still booed the ref off the pitch. He is a joke.

Hammered Shams last night and just could not score. Brushie man of the match easily. Dave McMillan actually played very well but missed a penalty and hit the post from a one on one.

Lot of positives to take from that. Its as good as we've played in the league since the Derry game. We need North to go on a scoring run if we're going to challenge. Should be easier if we make a big signing this week.

You know the guy Finn that plays for Shams and is the best player ever ever? Where the **** was he last night?
