Greatest League in the World 2026 [LOI Thread]

Jesus we did our best not to beat Waterford. Stupid late penalty gave them a chance but we held on. Few really good goals in the game and great to see Pierrot get off the mark. I'd imagine that'll be the end of Daly, 9 conceded in two games.

Very 50/50 game. It’s absolutely wide open at the top this season. Much like the EPL any team can now potentially beat any team.

As a Shels fan, I don’t know whether to be positive that we’re solidly performing and aren’t losing given our injuries across the squad.

I have hopes of a full strength squad doing serious business once we’re firing on all cylinders.

Kevin Doherty is an excellent manager, he has Drogheda very organised

Fair result last night at Tolka. With Shels managing 7 to 8 injuries during these double headers in the past two weeks we looked like a fatigued team last night upfront and the the middle who are trying to hang until this two week international break to get some of these bodies back but it was our most encouraging defensive performance so far Ibsen Rossi in particular showing that he is settling in well, three points against Sligo away on Saturday night would set things up positively with this break ahead after a patchy start to the season

From knowing the squads and seeing upfront in the three Dublin derbies in the past 10 days who I would rank in this order currently 1) Rovers 2) Pats 3) Bohs with us looking like the 4th strongest team, even if we get bodies back from injury I can't see any title challenge materialising from Shels this season

Think Bohs are missing a good consistent goalscorer which are hard to get as every team would like one obviously ,Bohs need to keep the squad fit especially the two lads at the back if they can they have a chance but Shams still have to better squad and that should come through over the season .

Cough, cough....looks at league table. 3rd best of the Dublin teams you say? We battered Rovers and were very comfortable last night at a tough away ground. I wouldn't read anything into the draw with Pats at the Aviva.

We are top of the league for a reason. Water tight defence, 6 clean sheets in 7. Superb midfield and a decentish return on chances created. 10 scored, only 2 conceded when we were 3-0 up in injury time.

We are not getting the credit we deserve from anyone outside Dalymount. We know we are building a potential title winning team. But I'm OK with that, let the doubters keep doubting.

Is it April 1st already? 🤣🤷

How does Caffrey miss that header from six yards out.

I don't understand how they call it "written instructions to resign". Surely they are simply firing Joanne Byrne because from what I read there was no question that the Americans were getting rid of her.

"For the avoidance of doubt, this decision was not taken in any way on the basis of Ms Byrne’s political views or beliefs, which she has expressed freely and in a public manner for the duration of her directorship"

LOL

Bad for Drogheda possibly.

How much backing does she have from the supporters? Would they stage a protest or boycott for her? Genuine query, as it seems the owners are hellbent of getting rid.

Nothing stops them pulling the plug. They are Americans they have no deep ties to Drogheda. If they pull the plug and walk away that will be their choice.
