dundalk with the better chances so far, they look seriously up for it.

Is their a decent crowd at it?

Fahey takes a free kick 25 yards iout.


1-0 Supersaints

2-1 Kavo superb move

Ended out a decent game vs Dundalk, very strong team out from them assume its their best 11?? They played well 1st half but we changed formation at half time and they didnt seem to cope with it. Forrester given a free role and kavo out wide.

Cracking goals from us and their goal Mc Millan played tru and he walked by Oman(hes not very fast) nice finish tho, still should have been sent off tho.

Good to be back.

Decent game for LSC but if you think that was Dundalks strongest starting 11 then i might have news for you.Kavo palyed well for yee but looked all out at the end.Some nice skill also from Fahey on occasions,took the free kick to score well but looked ordinary for the most part.
Yeah i wish we had have won and we came close to doing that but we have a few more cards to play yet.

Hence the ?? (thought that was obvious even used the word assume)

dundalk

cherrie,gannon, rossiter, o donnell, horgan, hoban, higgins, massey, mc millan,towell, kelly

Meenan O Connor, Mountney,Sava, Griffin, Byrne on the bench for you.

Not sure whats makes that 11 better, Higgins was quality for you. Towell in and out of the game, it started as a preseason game then Dundalk looked well up for it. Should ahve scored but you did sign Dave Mc Millan so expect to hear "should have scored" a lot and "35 yard screamer" once.

Cant really count Ward as he has a lot to prove before he becomes a regular again.
The other 3 yes IMO will all start against Drogheda if fit

Wardy is about a week or two away from full fittness & a return.

He scored in his first game for us last year. Thats all I remember from his time here.

Maybe he likes its here.Playing with siblings is sometimes annoying and off putting.

Thought it was a decent game last night by Leinster senior cup standards. Both managers fielded close to full teams and both teams were up for it with some very tasty challenges. Dundalk dominated and should have been two nil up at half time with a combination of bad misses, great goalkeeping from the excellent Clarke and lack of goal-line technology kept Pats in the game.
Dundalk faded badly in the second half and Pat's took control of the game and probably deserved their win. Very hard to see past them for the league this season. They have improved on their squad from last year and play great football. Only potential problems for them is at central defence and lack of goals if Quigley doesn't hit form.

Thought Doyle had a stinker and once again we can be worried about the level of officiating in the coming season. Booked Towell for a nothing challenge where he won the ball cleanly right in front of linesman who didn't call a free, then let a lot of similar challenges by Pats players go unpunished. Gave frees to both teams for nothing. Gave corners for goal kicks. Made Pats retake a quick freekick as it was about two feet from where it should have been taken from. Worst decision of the night was only booking McMillan for a terrible tackle that should have been a straight red.
For the goal not given, it looked like the ball crossed the line but no way to be sure so I think the linesman and referee were right not to give it. Didn't stop us giving the linesman dogs abuse though.

Lovely free kick. When he get's his fitness back he'll be running the show again in the league. Good to see ex internationals like him and McPhail coming home to finish their careers in the league. They will undoubtedly add that extra bit of quality at this level. It would be good if the likes of Duff, Dunne, Keane etc. did the same.

On the video though I don't get why people persist in taking videos like that with their phone facing up resulting in the videos being recorded with a ridiculously long and narrow picture. Just turn your phone to the side like you're meant to do when taking videos. It's really not that diffiult. Then you will get a lovely 16:9 picture that doen't look absoulutely ridiculous when played on anything other than your phone. Rant over!

Everything is perfect bar that God Awful Sponsor

Meh, I wouldn't say perfect. Hate that buttoned up bit and this trend of having thick sleeve rims. Would have been better all green too rather than the big white stripes down the sides.

Maybe I went bit OTT with perfect. I agree on collar. Think Green down sides is ok.

I might have bought it bar the Sponsor, think just keep Red Away one for while longer.

It'd be half decent if the sponsors logo didnt look so awful.As for the girl thats wearing it? *insert durty pudding/sausage pun joke here* _____________

Fahey was muck last night. Gave the ball away loads and looked well off the pace.

The scale of the LSC occasion probably got to him.

350/400 attendance.I doubt all 350/400 are on here.He was shoite,g'wan and admit it.

I thought he played as well as any other Pats player, Kavanagh the one who stood out most. But Fahey did as well as expected.

Thats old news. The squad was told that more then a week ago. Hes got a job with FAS/FAI a lot of the players are unhappy as he knew about the job but still signed them all

Alot of people seem to have alot of problems with Dave Hill.
