Hi All

The Drogs were playing Derry City last night (United Park) were their won 2:1. Goals from Fabio (30 yard lob after a defensive mix up) and new boy Ollie Cahill header made it two. Derry got a goal from a o.g. by Jason Gavin, but it was to little to late.

Here's a clip of the highlights..a little taster!

Drogheda are getting stronger and stronger with every game. Great performances all around the pitch, especially considering that the Drogs have 6 players out with injurers and that Derry are the favorites to win the league...I don't think so!

3 more points on the board, still in second place 2pts behind St. Pats.

The Drogs next game is against Linfield (away) in the Setanta on Monday night. This will have a strong bearing on which team will win the group and who will come second. Only one game left in the group after Monday nights game.

Best of Luck to Trabzonspor when you play Erciyesspor. Hopefully Trabz can emulate the Drogs and claim another 3pts.

C'mon the CLARET & BLUE

Hi Folks

Yep Linfield 0:0 Drogs.

Not a good game at all. They had the better 1st Half and we had the 2nd half, with a number of better chances to score. Linfield very happy with the draw.

We are waiting on news about Jason Gavin's shoulder injury. He was stretchered off after 33 minutes with what appeared to be a dislocated shoulder, Which will now need surgery, big loss, great player and solid.

The result was not to bad, as Derry were bet 2:1 by Glentoran. Derry will have to beat us by 2 clear goals next week, but they are stuttering so far this season so they will have to attack, so it will suit us.

Well done guys on your win against Erciyesspor.
It's getting tight in the table. 3 more points on the board and up to 8th, keep on climbing.

C'mon the CLARET & BLUE

i think this year we will happy only with Drogheda's victories.
Go Drogheda Go Claret Blue!

Hi Guys

I hope that all the Trabzonspor Claret & Blue warriors are keeping well.

Sorry that I have not been updating you guys on Drogheda's progress, as I was in Hospital recently have a Full ceramic Hip Replacement Operation done. Great fun!

Since I have been away the Drogs have played 2 league games.

The 1st was away to Longford, the 1st game I've missed this season, I believe by reading the reports and talking to some colleagues that it was a terrible game. It usually is a bad game when we play Longford. They try to grind you down to play their why. Shane Robinson popped up with a good goal 25 yard chip. It finished 1:0 to the Drogs and 3 pts on the board.

The second league game was on Friday night against Sligo Rovers. We won 3:0. All 3 goals were scored in the first 30mins.

The 1st was a cracker from 25 yards out after a good move from Robo & Fabio's lay-off to Zayed, who riffled the ball into the back of the net, after 8mins.

The second goal came from some good hard work from Fabio who chased a Brian Shelley ball to the end line which the defender tried to see out for a goal kick. Fabio, nicked the ball from the Rovers defender, managed to keep it in play and pulled it across for Zayed who finished with ease from six yards.

The 3rd goal came just three minutes later when Simon Webb's long ball from defence on the left found Fabio, controlled the ball brilliantly before planting his strike past keeper Richard Brush to the bottom left corner of the net.....Game well and truly over.

The 2nd half was a well control and professional display, we created and few chances, but with the Drogs playing on Tuesday night against Derry in the Setanta Cup, we were happy to just see out the game and keep a clean sheet. Another 3pts on the board and we are now level on points with St. Pats, separated by goal difference....1 goal.


So on to Tuesday night V Derry, the last group game. Derry who are not firing on all cylinders, need to beat the Drogs by 2 or more clear goals to progress to the semi-final stage. Depending on how the results turn out, a Drogs win, and Linfield lose, the Drogs will win the group and probably play Cork City at Home in the Semi-final (Cork, who we bet to win the cup last year and the year before that to win the FAI Cup , our 1st ever cup), is the tie we all would like to see. Otherwise we will end up playing St. Pats away, which wouldn't be to bad.

I'll keep up all updated.

On a different note, I see Trabzonspor are on a good run of victories, may it continue when you play Rizespor today.

I see my namesake scored twice last week when you won 4:3 against Gençlerbirliği, I'm just happy to contribute to a Trabz win

Best of luck today and hopefully I'll be seeing another 3pts chalked up for Trabzonspor, later today.

C'mon the CLARET & BLUE

Hi All

Just a quick update.

On Tuesday night we played Derry, the last group game of the Setanta Cup.
Drogheda were poor in the 1st half but improved in the second half. One worry that the Drog's manager has is the growing injury list and there's no signs of it shortening. Damien Lynch, Aidan O'Keefe and captain Declan O'Brien all joined it after picking up problems on Tuesday night. They join Dan Connor, Graham Gartland, Jason Gavin, Shane Barrett and Richie Baker on the sidelines with only Gartland's injury rated as a short-term problem.
That's 8 of our 1st 11 players out.So full credit to the manager for putting together a bid squad during the off-season. Any other team in the league would be in pieces and would not be able to cope, if they had the same number of injuries.

The Derry Match was not the prettiest game ever. we won 2:1 but we were given our chances due to doggy goalkeeping and a defensive error. But a win is a win. As a result we now play St. Pat's away in the semi-final on Monday Night, following Linfield winning and topping the group and they play Cork City.

Back to the League tonight and we play Shamrock Rovers (Dublin Team) away in Tolka Park. It will be a trough game as they are a well organised side and don't give away to many goals and with the number of injuries we have picked up, our squad may be stretched but we still have some very good quality players holding the fort. If we win, we can open up a 3pts gap at the top of the table, as St.Pats play Sligo Rover on Saturday.


I see that Trabzonspor lost 3:2 to Rizespor last weekend. Hopefully you bounce back with a win against Sakaryaspor this weekend.

Best of luck. C'mon the Claret & Blue

Hi All

First of all well done to Trabzonspor on their great 5:2 win against Sakaryaspor. Up to 5th in the table. Great progress considering the terrible start to the season.

How many European places to the Turkish League have and what place guarantees you a UEFA Cup place?

The Drogs continued their winning ways on Friday night against Shamrock Rovers. 2:1 it finished. The pitch was in a very poor state and it was very hard for both teams to play nice passing football. Once again a win is a win. With St Pats winning their game on Saturday, the teams are only seperated by goal difference.

Here's a clip of the highlights.

On to the Semi-Final of the Setanta Cup, tonight. Should be a very interesting game as we play St. Pats, away. It will be a tight game. They have only coincided 2 goals in 7 games and with the number of 1st team injuries that the Drogs have, the advantage is tipping towards a St. Pats win, but the Drogs have a habit of using that to their advantage and getting the win.

C'mon the CLARET & BLUE
