Greatest League in the World 2024 [new thread available]

Ya agree we are/were so predictable. We bring on a tricky, skillful, technically proficient player like Manning who picks up great positions yet we continue going side to side and swinging in aimless crosses that your lads were just eating up, all the while ignoring him. Frustrating stuff.

Brutal game at the Brandywell too, don't be fooled by the scoreline..

Very very little quality on show.

We have really gone sh1t. I think it's now a crisis. We are in freefall .

Not sure how we are going to get out of our current form. Our 1st team tonight were truly awful and we have no bench.

Good point for Drogheda tonight. At one stage, as results stood, Harps were only three points behind us but thankfully still nine.

I was disappointed with Bohs. They have some lovely players but lack a leader and are a bit soft.

Our keeper immense again tonight. Smashing player.

McGinty has every right to come out and head the ball. Absolutely nothing dangerous about a keeper coming off his line to clear a ball like he did. The injury was unfortunate but it doesn't make it dangerous play.

I'll need to watch the first one back again. It looked awkward but not dangerous. His legs were spread, but only spread because the UCD player tried to knock the ball around him and he spread his left leg to stop the ball from going past him, which he did.

I don't know what is confusing you about the second one to be honest. The ball bounced in the air just outside the box. Both players attacked it and McGinty got there well before the forward. There was then a collision between both players and the UCD forward came off worse. You can't give a foul for what was essentially a 50/50 when both players were going for the ball and one clearly wins it. The commentator comparing it to Toni Schumacher v Battiston was hilarious.

That is extremely impressive for a First Division game, yeah. How many up from Cork roughly?

About 200 I'd say, maybe 250.

Give it a rest. Mcginty won the ball both times. The two ucd commentators would want to lay off the conspiracy theories. Going on that the world is against them.

Deal done. A generational talent leaving the club. As composed and comfortable a player as I've ever seen in the LOI. Hopefully he goes on to great things.

With us til July, not sure if it's the start or end, you'd imagine the start though as I'm guessing Newcastle academy would be going back in in mid/late July.

That 4 game winning streak must have took alot of Shels, looked tired straight from kick off conceding that early goal and nothing clicked when we got in the final third, we've had much worse performances this season this one will be forgotten about easily. Rovers were slick when they had to be and managed the game home without much trouble once they got the 2nd, hard not to see them winning the league with Derry faltering away

You keep ignoring the point I'm making that neither appeared dangerous, so it's pointless discussing it. I've since watched the first back and it definitely was not dangerous play, just like the second one.

Do you happen to be one of the commentators? 👀

To clarify, my remarks were not in relation to the Rovers fans themselves (who were/are fine) but rather the match day experience the club is trying to put on.

Even the lad they have doing the announcements etc seems only about 30 seconds away from breaking into singing the latest pop hit for the kids in the crowd.

7000 people there so you can’t exactly say they’re doing a bad job. It was just one of the weirder match day experiences I’ve been to. Was almost what I imagine Leinster rugby games are like.

Around the 80th minute.

They dodged a bullet.

On another note Kerry FC have begun the licensing process and hope to be in the league from next season. As per sports bulletin on Today FM at 11.
