Hi From Drogheda in Ireland

[Drogster]

Hi Folks

It's been a while since I've been on. Things are looking good at the moment for the Drogs, but there is a long way to.

We are currently sitting on the top of the pile, 5pts clear and with one less game played. As shown in the table above.

We play St. Pats tonight in United Park. BIG Match. If we win, we will open up a 8pts gap, but a draw wouldn't be a disaster. But we all want 3pts....fingers crossed.

Here's the link for the streaming of the game, if anyone is interested.

http://www.tg4.ie/Bearla/Webt/webt.htm

Just click on the web tv button. Kick-off is 19:45hrs (Local time). Just remember TG4 is the Irish speaking channel, so the commentary will be in Irish, but the interviews before & after will be in English. Hopefully it is good viewing and good result for the Drogs ....of course...3pts .....PLEASE!

We recently beat Bray last Monday. A 91st minute goal from Shane Robinson clinched the 3pts. Poor 1st half, but a lot better 2nd half and it showed good character coming from a goal down....A sign of champions???????

Last Thursday, we but the disappointment of a 1:1 draw in San Marino behind us, as we came out 3:0 winners in the 2nd leg of our qualify in the UEFA Cup, against Libertas in Dalymount Park (Dublin....our nominated home for European Competitions). It was a comfortable game in the end, which saw us being entered into the pot for the 2nd Qualifying round, where we were drawn against Helsingborg (Sweden).

It will be a tough tie, but we will be up for it. Our Manager Paul Doolin was in Sweden, during the week watching Helsingborg play a 1:1 draw with Malmo FF, doing a bit of homework.

On a different note.

Guys....stop sweating....the wait is nearly over.......

I see that Trabz are playing Sivasspor on Sunday.

Best of luck in the game and hopefully you will have a better start to this season, compared with last season.......Claret & Blue for the Title.

C'mon the Claret & Blue

we hope that all

Claret & Blue FOREVER !!!!!

Hi All

Well the wait is over and the new league has started.

I see that you guys started of with a 1:0 win over Sivasspor. I see my name-sake came to the rescue.

Hopefully they can start this season better then last season.

Another Claret & Blue League Champion would be nice.

Over this side of the world, The Drogs are preparing for the encounter of Helsingborg (Sweden), in the 2nd qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, On Thursday night.

Should be a tight match, but hopefully the Drogs can get a good result to leave them in a good position for the 2nd leg in Sweden at the end of the month and proceed to the next round...fingers crossed.

C'mon the Claret & Blue.

yes, but the match was broken off by the reffery at the extra time (92min) because some of "our" (?) fans ran on the playing field and attacked the player.

But all the same which happens

Claret & Blue up to death

Ya, I was just wondering about that, as I was monitoring the score on a live scoreboard and it came up abandoned after 90mins ???????
However, it was up as a result on UEFA.com.
Did the result stand, or will there be a replay?

The federation will give a decision about the match. It is now just a big mess.

UEFA Cup Match (ilk maç)

Drogheda United 1 ('54 Zayed)
Helsinborg 1 ('34 Larsson)

[#1 Drog]

Can't stay long but:

As you know we drew 1-1 with Helsingborg in the UEFA Cup, fair result, they were better in the first half, we were better in the second, although I think we had the most clear-cut chances. I think we have every chance of progressing.

On Monday we played Galway Utd. in the league at home. They had a man sent off in the first half and we dominated from then on and went 2 up. But two cock ups from our keeper in the last three minutes gave them the draw.

This Friday we play Bohemians away, again. The match will be live on tv, and it can be watched online @ www.tg4.ie , just click 'Home' and then WebTv at the top tomorrow night, kick off is 7:45 local time.

Unfourtanetly we only drew 1-1.

And we were very lucky. Bohs were far better than us on the night. Very, very entertaining second half. Our keeper saved a peno.

You can watch the game HERE

I'll post up a link later where you can watch the UEFA Cup match with Helsingborgs later.
