Dundalk Team News: Dundalk’s promotion hopes have been dealt a severe blow just 48 hours before this game, with the news on Wednesday evening that John Gill has been forced to draft in four under-21 players for the side’s trip north. This move comes as a result of yet more crippling injury news, with David Crawley (ribs), Robbie Doyle (head) and captain Aidan Lynch (calf) now all expected to miss out through injury. This trio is added to the already long absentee list, which contains suspended duo, Shaun Williams and Trevor Vaughan, and injured quartet, Vinny Perth, Philly Hughes, Ben Whelehan and Kevin McArdle, leaving Gill with just 12 fit outfield players for the club’s biggest game of the year.

Looks like an away win to me.:cool:
Come on Dun Dealgan!

I priced a flight home for this

sssshhh don't tell the missus. Too Expensive , i don't expect a win at all but i don't expect the players not to let down the 400+ away fans traveling from everywhere to watch dundalk play.Next season is a massive worry for Dundalk one team up , no play off , at least 5 teams trying for 1st spot. This match could mean Dundalk will stay in the elephant graveyard for a very long time , while all budgets will be going to off the field activities.

Ps : Gill please give Mulvenna a start.

PPSS : I Finally know who is pighead is

FACT !

Gill said last week that it wouldn't be fair to start Mulvenna in such a huge match. Hopefully the amount of injuries that have piled up will force his hand. Looked impressive last week when he came on against the mighty Kildare.

PS: Nobody knows who Pighead is! Not even Pighead himself. FACT.

I think he has no choice but to start Mulvenna , seen as Doyle is out Hughes out , Treves suspended. i really don't want to see Keith dunne play up front with Smyth from what i have read this year , dunne has had a disaster of a season.

Only after remembering something Pighead : When i gave Robbie Dunne a lift home one day he was telling me how ONCE he played up front for bray and scored a hat trick. Could be interesting

Excellent stuff! I predict a draw tomorrow with Robbie banging in an Extra Time winner.

ibh · 15-11-2007 11:28AM

Are there many people travelling up to Donegal for the game?? I can't due to work, even though it would only take me an hour from work.

Prediction: 2-1 to de town..

_blank_ · 15-11-2007 11:31AM

Harps will win the semi, but Waterford will stay in the Premier.

And I'll be saved a trip to the RSC.

I'd go along with Sarges estimate of 400 or so. Should be a cracking atmosphere. Harps supporters are a rowdy bunch! And whats all this "I have to work" nonsense. Tell your boss Dundalk are playing in their biggest match for many many years. Don't even wait for him too speak, just walk out the door and drive. In time he'll understand.

I have honestly done this , Lucky for me the boss was doing the driving

DSB · 15-11-2007 12:35PM

Would love to see Dundalk do this. I reckon it'll be Harps VS. Waterford though with Waterford coming out on top.

KdjaCL · 16-11-2007 09:44PM

1-0 harps HT

harps won 2-0

DundalkDuffman · 17-11-2007 01:22AM

2-0 and well deserved too. Doyle amongst others should never wear the white shirt again, its a shame that he wasn't actually unavailable. Harps hopefully will beat Waterford now in the final.

OhNoYouDidn't · 17-11-2007 01:37AM

Dundalk stay in the graveyard another year.

Jobs oxo.

yes I do. including two trips to the open sewer that is Oriel Park last season. Hence my desire to see them rot in D1, and with a bit of luck the A league, forever.

Harps is a cracking away trip where the locals are welcoming and knowledgeable about their ball. You have to thump your way in and out of Dundalk.

The even managed to mill UCD fans in the cup up there ffs. Thats like hitting your little sister.

the first division was actually fun once we realised we would walk it. Except for Limerick and Dundalk where there were locals queueing up to have a go. Interestingly the only two places that we were attacked are the only two places in the division that have totally missed out on the tourist boom.... Galway, Donegal, Kilkenny, Cobh, all wonderful hosts. There were locals on roofs of houses throwing bricks in Dundalk while Templemores finest hid. Join the dots Bord Failte.

Gavin "shels" · 17-11-2007 02:19AM

First division is decent enough the away trips are great. Must say I hate Ballybofey, it's a kip of a town and the stadium is sh*t. Can't beat a train journey down to Cobh though.:D

What a load of rubbish , your a rovers supporter you need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Don't be coming on here trying to paint us with the same paint that has tarnished your club for the last half a century.Your supporters exploits are only too well known through the lenght and breath of this country , I don't need to point out how many times that Shamrock rovers supporters have been in the media for all the wrong reasons.

Don't come onto this forum and pretend that flowers grow from your arse , and also this rumour about dundalk fans starting on UCDs finesest well that is the biggest load of waffle ever.

Thats news to me. UCD brought about 100 fans to OP and not a word about any trouble. You want to check your information there. Interestingly that the only trouble that I remember last year was against Shamrock Rovers on the streets afterwards. Interestingly too that Rovers had problems down in Limerick last term, you connecting these dots at all?

Last Thursday’s events at the UCD game was the latest in a number of incidents over the past three weeks, both at home and away matches, and the message from the club and its real supporters is clear to the people who have carried out these attacks on the name of our great club - we no longer want you attending games

This happened, and you came on here calling me a liar when even Dundalk FC admitted there was an incident and went public. Grow up, you were wrong.

A bit hard to swallow from someone who has made a plank of themselves like you have on this.

Have some pride and let it go.
