Wouldn't be quite so confident MrSoap. Monaghan aren't too bad in that shitehole of a ground they have. And they beat your lot both times up there last season(including a 4-0!).
Shels record last season V Monaghan=P4 W0 D2 L2 F2 A7
you're making a fool of yourself pighead (again!)
2 shels players survive from the first 1-1 draw
1 player survives from the 4-0 demolition job
5 players survive from the second 1-1 draw
and only 3 players survive from last October's 1-0 defeat
thats a total of 11 apperances out of a possible 56!
did Dundalk play the whole 90 minutes with 9 men? i can only recall Dundalk having 9 men in the dying minutes...HA HA HA HA! Excellent stuff. Thats Pigheads first laugh out loud of the day. Better than Dundalk even though they couldn't beat 9 Dundalk men at home a couple of weeks ago! Quality Mr F!
what i do remember is when both teams had 11 players like a normal match the team in red were dominant!
anyway Des is right, Shels have a better team than Dundalk, the only players from Dundalk who would get into Shels starting XI would be Cassidy, Lynch and hoofer Crawley and he is only in by default as our LB Hedderman is even worse than Crawley! :eek: i get the feeling that this going to be yet another season of underachievement and so near yet so far for the poor souls of Dundalk F.C.

However men you finish with and the score at full time is what you beat X with.
Pats have beaten Cork and Bohs AWAY with 9 men GTFI!

Dundalk played the best part of 15 mins with 9 men. They had a man sent off at the end of the 1st half. Despite all this, Dundalk still had more chances than Shels. Face it Jonny Shels aren't quite up to winning this league just yet. Next year maybe.Jonny Arson wrote: »did Dundalk play the whole 90 minutes with 9 men? i can only recall Dundalk having 9 men in the dying minutes... what i do remember is when both teams had 11 players like a normal match the team in red were dominant!0 -

Spin me arse. Whelehan went off in the 81st minute. 4 mins of injury time plus 9=13 mins. Which is the best part of 15 mins.
Shels dominated possession only after Dundalk went down to 9 men and started to sit back and defend deep. Heres the stats from the game. You still reckon Shels dominated?
Goals: 0-0
Shots: 9-10
Shots ON Target: 3-5
Shots OFF Target: 6-5
Corners: 7-2
Fouls Committed: 12-20
Offsides: 2-0
Yellow Cards: 1-4
Red Cards: 0-1
play was stopped for a good 3 minutes around Whelehans injury in the 81st
anyway those stats are limited and tell the whole picture. Shels were the stronger team creating more chances in the 1st half when it was a proper game of football and apart from two 5 minute spells in the 2nd half bossed possession and the game. i already said Dundalk from played an effective counterattacking game in the 2nd and could have snatched the game, Shels couldnt create any chances with Dundalk's excellent desperate defending
anyway those fouls and yellow/red card stats dont lie about the dirt you have in your team

Listen Jonny here are the facts. Shels couldn't beat 10 man Dundalk and actually had fewer shots in the game than them. You can take from that what you will. As for the foul count all I can say is theres nothing wrong with showing commitment!Jonny Arson wrote: »play was stopped for a good 3 minutes around Whelehans injury in the 81st

There was a big argument last week over which side could claim the name "Rovers". Apparently, Sligo fans shouldn't be allowed called their side "Rovers", and Shamrock Rovers fans don't understand who people are referring to as "Shams"....0 -

We robbed them, they deserved something even with 10 we only had one shot.
Ryan was awful again lost the ball most of the time, Fahey and Lynch were bossed by their midfield, their wingers kept going at paisley and joe, 2nd half they got in vs joe a lot but he getting better every game.
Kirby our man of the match, the real one was their right winger, altho they bossed the game and played nice ball they didnt have many shots most were blocked by pardo and harris, their keeper made 2 wonder saves. O Neill worked his balls off quigley played well Ryan wasnt very good, Fahey and Lynch had moments but they barely got a sniff in 1st 60 mins galways 2 mids were well on top.
We lack play from the full backs, when they do get forward they dont really do much, Kirby helped paisley a lot but ryan
LOL shels
