Hi All

Well the EuroDrog Trip for 2007 has come to an end, with a big bang. Beaten 3:0 in Sweden. We seemed nervous and didn't perform and the managers subsituations were very strange.
But anyway, it was a great trip and we all home safely.

Our League form has dipped in recent weeks, but we are still 7pts clear at the top of the table and equal games played.

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks.

We threw away 2pts when we played Galway at home. We were 2:0 up with 4mins to play. Then a mistake by our Keeper (and maybe a doggy call be the Ref) lead to Galway's 1st goal and just on the stroke of full time a pass was played into the box and Dan (the Keeper) misjudged the flight of the ball and punched it into his own net . The most frustrating thing was that is was a great team performance, everyone played great, up until the goals!!!

We were also lucky to get away with a 1pt when we played Bohs away.

On Monday night saw the rearranged UCD game played. It was probably the worst performance this season! .

UCD won the game 1:0 (a deflected shot), but they deserved the points, taking the rest of the game into account.

Some of the media and fans are saying that the players are looking tried. But we have a big squad, but the manager is not utilising it to its full potential. Mainly, because he has fallen out with a few players, one of which is probably our most creative mid-fielder?????

One point made after the game was, due to the number of games that we have won to date, we have built up a 7pts gap at the top were the chasing pack are dropping points and taking points of each other.

In saying that, I would rather be 7pts ahead, then 7pts behind the leader. The only thing is that we could be 13pts clear, but since we have drop points lately, it is giving the chasing teams new belief.

However, the run in of the 9 remaining game will not be just as easy. A number of the weaker teams at the lower end of the table and finding their form, to get away for the relegation zone and a taking points of the higher position teams!

We play Galway away on Friday night, who are one of the teams trying to climb out of the drop zone, so it won't be easy. Hopefully the Drogs and regroup and get back to winning ways. Every game now is like a cup final....a must win game.

C'mon the Claret n Blue.

Hello Drogster,

nice that ur sweden trip was nice despite the game.

So just i was going to ask (ok I asked then I edited my message ) if u have any idea about the story of symbols in Drogheda United's flag? ... But then now I found my answer in previous comments where this subject was discussed....

now I liked the idea to look for the very first chance to order a Drogheda jersey

so also, I just checked on flickr photos about Drogheda, cute town...

symbols is very beautiful

Hi Folks

Well we played Galway last Friday and it ended up another draw 1:1. We took the lead in the 63min and Galway levelled on 70mins from a free-kick, which the Ref awarded. (it was never a free). Galway's goal was scored by a former Drog ! It was a better performance then the UCD game, were we fell to only our 3rd defeat.

Derry up next tonight. Derry are really starting to improve and their new manager is getting to grips with the team. Not going to be easy.

We have to start winning games again to keep a good gap between us and the chasing teams. 8pts is the gap at the moment, with 8 games to play including tonights game.

The good news is the the game is being broadcast by the Irish speaking station TG4. Just click on the link below and click the webtv button. Kick-off is 19:45hrs (Irish Time)

Hopefully it will be a good game and, even better result....for the Drogs...3pts

I don't know if you saw the SKY sports TV's international football magazine FIFA FUTBOL MUNDIAL. Drogheda were the main feature on it this week. I think that they might have brought bad luck as the cameras were at the UDC match which we lost! Good PR for the club, once we go on and win the league, for the 1st time EVER!!!!!!

C'mon the Claret n Blue Army

Drogheda United : 1 - Derry City : 0
(1' Bates)

Go Drogs!!!

[Drogster]

Hi All

Yep, the Drogs got back to winning ways against Derry of Friday night.
An absolute thunderbolt for one of our more recent signings score, Guy Bates, or as we call him Master Bates . (Just wondering if anyone tried to watch the game with the link that I posted up. Did it work?).

However our lead is now down to 5pts as Shamrock Rovers won their game in hand last night.
5pts clear and 7 games to go. The big game now seems to be on the 12th Oct Rovers v Drogs. It may just decide the destination of the Silverware! We have a weekend off, this weekend.

I see that Trabzonspor drew 0:0 with Ankaragücü at the weekend. You are still very much in the mix, with a game in hand and so far unbeaten this season . Keep it up...

Forever Claret & Blue

hi Martin. how r u.

[Drogster]

Hi Folks

Well the Drogs were back in action this weekend, after their weekend off. We travelled to Longford on Friday night, and we continued where we left off, with a 2:1 victory and 3 more points on the board.

Both Drog goals were scored in the 1st half. 1st by Guy Bates, (which makes it 3 goals in 3 games) and 2nd for Paul Keegan, great header from a corner kick.

If one was being picky, we should off had may be 2 of 3 more,but their goalkeeper was in good form and playing well.

In the second half we sat back a bit and soaked up the Longford pressure, not that there was much, all midfield play.

Longford scored in the 90min, much against the run of play, but we hung on for the 3pts.

We have now stretched our lead at the top of the table to 8pts, with 6 games remaining. However, Shamrock Rovers have to play Bray tomorrow night, and we expect them to get 3pts, which will cut the lead back to only 5pts, but who knows. There maybe be a surprise as the Bray game was postponed as a mark of respect for one off their supporters who died while flighting to put out a fire, while he was on duty. So it could the incentive to up their performance?

Here's a link to a short video off some of the travelling Drog fans.....I'm in there somewhere.

It wasn't a bad atmosphere, considering that we never play well in Longford.

I read that Trabzonspor also continued their good run of form with a 1:0 win v Konyaspor, yesterday. .

May the Claret N Blue domination continue

Say it Loud & Say it Proud CLARET N BLUE Forever
