Hi From Drogheda in Ireland

[Drogster]

Hi Folks

Well as already posted the Drogs won 1:0 against UCD last night. A goal from Aidan O'Keeffe, who came on as a sub scored the winner in the 93rd min. It was a fair result. The first half we as about shaded it with a few chances, but the second half was much better. One particular lineman was very wrong on three different occasions, one were he disallowed a good goal!!!!!

Anyway, We got the goal and brought home 3pts on the board.

BUT the even better news was heard on the way home when Waterford bet St. Pat's 2:1. This means that the Drogs are top of the league, by a point, but now also have a game in hand.

The main thing is to push on and but a gap between ourselves and the rest of the chasing pack.

Best of luck in your Intertoto Cup game on Sunday against KS Vllaznia.


C'mon the Claret & Blue.

Hi All

Congrat's on Trabzonspor's win tonight. 6:0. A bit of a training session!

Good to see that my name-sake scored twice.

Hopefully you can now make it through to the UEFA Cup and if The Drogs play well and have luck on their side, our paths may cross .

Well done again guys.


C'mon the Claret & Blue

Hi Folks

Just a quick note, just to let you know that The Drogs are playing Bohs, at home tonight.
Should be a good game as both teams are league contenders. Unfortunately the game is not being televised, so I have not got a link!
This will be the 3rd time we play them this season. 1st 0:0 draw away, the 1st game of the season then Bohs knocked us out of the FAI Cup 3 weeks ago, when both teams play very poorly.
Since then the Drogs performances have really transformed. It's a big game as if the Drogs win we will be 7 pts ahead of Bohs with a game in hand, but if we lose they will be 1pt behind, although, we would still have a game less played. A draw would suit the rest of the chasing teams.
So hopefully we can continue the good form and take 3pts. It would be a great boost to win and be on top of the league going to San Marino, midweek, to play in the UEFA Cup.

Hopefully the weather will improve, as the forecast is for heavy rain, which started at 10am!

C'mon the Claret & Blue

Hopefully The Drogs will win the match and make the score between Bohs is 7 points.But it seems tough match.Also the weather is an important factor ,when it rains the ground will be heavy.Our match is going to play tomorrow at 21:00.You know that first match finished 6/0 so we hope second match will be easy for us....

After winning 6-0 I'm sure it'll be a walk in the park for your guys tomorrow! Good Luck!

Tonight we beat Bohs 1-0. We didn't play that well, but neither did they. It was a tough match with a lot of hard tackles.

Ex-Bohs player Tony Grant scored with a header in the 90th minute!

Here are some pictures..

Now the league looks like this:

Best of luck to Drogheda Uniteda at tomorrow's match against Libertas

[Drogster]

Hi Folks

First of all I was saddened when I was monitoring the live scoreboard and saw the Trbaz were beaten by a 90min penalty yesterday. I was looking forward to the possibility of been drawn against you in the 2nd Round of the UEFA Cup. It would of been a real Claret & Blue party! I heard that the weather conditions were really hard, very hot!

Since the last time I was on, the Drogs traveled to San Marino to play SP Libertas. What a trip! The large majority of Drog Fans that traveled stayed in Rimini (Italy). As a result I made contact with the owner of the Bounty Bar and arranged, a fixed price on drinks, earlier opening times and coaches to and from the game. As you probably know the weather in the Mediterranean is amazing at the moment 38 to 40 degrees.

The link below has a few pics form the trip.

Anyway, the most disappointing part of the trip was the game. Our right back, Brian Shelly was the only player that had 100% adapted to the very hot conditions. He has been our player of the season so far, closely followed by Shane Robinson.

We started of well, passing the ball and making Libertas work hard chasing us down. We should of had two penalties, one of which was allowed to play on with an advantage???????

We also had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside, when clearly the player was on side. We took the justified lead, but as the game wore on the conditions took its toll on our players. The first time Libertas crossed the midway line they score! A slip from of our guys in the middle of the park, allowed their forward claim the football and busted forward and passed our left back to easily, which left him one-on-one with the keeper and needless to say, he didn't miss .

Thats how it finished 1:1. We play them in the 2nd leg of the tie this Thursday in Dalymount Park in Dublin, as United Park does not meet UEFA Cup regulations i.e not enough seating around the ground (Mostly terrace standing). The only good thing from the result, is that a 0:0 draw will but us into the next round, so they will have to attack. I can see us winning by at least 4 goals, as the our players like playing on the wide pitch in Dalymount park. Fingers crossed.

Back to the league, and the better news there is that following the results from Friday night the Drogs are now 3pts clear at the top with a game less played. Some of the main contenders, Shamrock Rovers and Bohs both were beaten and St. Pats and Cork drew with each other 1:1. The Drogs played Waterford and won 3:0. They have to be the worst team to play in United park for a long time, although, they did have a number of players suspended!

So, roll on Thursday night and hopefully another Euro win for the Drogs and a passage into the second round draw on Friday morning! We better not celebrate to much as I have to be up to watch the draw and start booking flights!

Here's hoping.........

C'mon the Claret & Blue
