    Pats with a fairly comfortable 1-0 win. Rovers had a man sent off in the second half.

    that was handy enough, we did the same vs cobh just sat back scored and defended handily enough. Wasnt a great game they tried to kick us off the park mainly targetting fahey who didnt react to anything :eek:

    Shocked they lasted so long with 11 players.



    21/24 not bad at all, hope we have some defenders next week for buying 7 of them close season we only have 3 fit :confused:

    That was terrible stuff. God, it was awful at times.:(

    Worst thing to happen the game was Pats getting the 1st goal. After that they were just happy to sit deep and hit Rovers on the break.

    Rovers were clueless. They let go of jamie Duffy and Dave Cassidy who both would have proved more effective than anything on show there tonight. Iv'e criticized Paisley in the past and rightly so but this was his kind of game! Continues long balls are what he deals with best. Scully must have seen this and still it continued. Purcell did his best put he was knackered at the end.

    Alan Kelly might be the FAI's rising star but in my eyes he is just as incompetent as the the grate Jim O'Neill. Never let the game flow and showed no consistency with the cards.

    One piece of brilliance on the night was that save by Barry Ryan from the header. Amazing!:)

    Handy win for the Saints tonight. Never needed to get out of first gear. Rovers brought nothing to the table.
    Don't know what all this Alan Kelly being an FAI rising star is all about. He's an awful ref, have never seen him have a decent game.
    Six wins out of seven is great going. Hopefully we can keep it going this season.

    It means the FAI see him as a rising star, he gets the big games, internationals etc, the rest of us see him a **** kind of star

    Were Pats playing Sligo or Shams? Thought it was the latter, but everyone is posting Rovers? :confused:

    Are you aving a laugh, is he aving a laugh.:eek:

    In fairness, WUFC could have snatched a 1-1 draw. We are not clinical in front of goal. It should have game over 15 mins into the game but we never got out of first gear. Only for the late goal they could have went home happy with a point.

    Just watchin MNS, Sean Prunty was on it talking about his recent heart problem which have put him out of the game. Its a shame, such a great man and player, a legend in Longford. He's lucky that it was discovered when he went to Drogs, (maybe thats a good thing that came out of Longford being relegated, had they not been, he may have stayed and still not know)...Hope all goes well for him in the future and he can get back into the game in another capicity.
