Nice work Tunga.

The table makes for nice reading at the moment.....Hopefully it will stay that way .

Our nearest competitors Shamrock Rovers were beaten 3:0 by Bray on Tuesday night. I had a gut feeling Bray would get at least a point, but they got all 3 points.

We play Sligo Rovers at home tomorrow night. Won't be easy, as they have a good manager and play some lovely attacking football. But if we want to make the League Trophy ours, we have to earn the right and 3pts tomorrow night would do the trick.

The next two weekends are big ones. Cork v Shamrock Rovers and next week Shamrock Rovers V Drogs. If Rovers don't keep up full points and if (WHEN) the Drogs beat Rovers, it's in the bag. Although, we have to play Cork, but I think the games are running out for them. Only 6 left.
Fingers Crossed.
Best of luck for your game v Kasimpasa SK at the weekend. Keep up the unbeaten run and 3 more points on the board.

C'mon the Claret n Blue

we cant keep up unbeaten run..coz have a 0 : 3 score against Sivasspor by the decision of TFF

I like that table. Congratulations!
I hope you'll be champion at end of season!
Friendship from Trabzon, Brothers.

İrlanda'nın Ay Yıldızlıları şampiyonluğa koşuyor

İrlanda Premier Ligi'nde şampiyonluğa giden Drogheda United logosunda, Osmanlı'ya olan sevgisinden ay-yıldız kullanıyor.

Mustafa Denizli'nin meşhur göndermesi "içimizdeki İrlandalılar" artık sadece futbol değil, hemen her konuda kullanıla dursun, İrlanda'nın özellikle logosuyla "içimizdeki" spor kulübü Drogheda United, şampiyonluğa doğru adım adım ilerliyor.

Hi All

Nice picture.....Just for you all to be able to put a name with a face I'm the one in the Blue hat and Gerry, a friend is in the Claret hat.
That picture was taken during the Setanta Cup Final in May, when we won the trophy for a second year in a row after beating Linfield (An Northern Ireland team). I was just after a hip replacement operation and I was standing for the whole game including the penalty shootout using my crutches.

I checked out the link and I'm just wondering what the article reads. Anyone want to translate or summarise the article in English...please.

Anyway. The Drogs won again last night 2:0 against Shamrock Rovers in Tolka park (Dublin) Zayed with the two goals. I forgot that the game was being broadcast on tv by RTE. I heard it looked good on TV. We played some really nice football. We are now 10pts clear at the top of the table. We only have 4 games left in the league.

Our game next week is also being televised next Friday when we play Cork City "the Langers" by RTE. I'll post up the link later in the week, if anyone is interested.

Should be an interesting game as due to the results last night, the Drogs only need 1 point to win the league. And as we are playing at home in United Park the trophy will be presented on the night. So hopefully we can win it in style and beet the Langers next week.
The funny thing is that we have beaten the Langers when we won our 1st FAI Cup our 1st Setanta Cup and...fingers crossed...Our 1st League Trophy. That will be a hat-trick. Rather fitting one thinks.

We have one hand on the Trophy and hopefully the second hand will land on it next week.

C'mon the Drogs,
C'mon the Claret & Blue

I checked out the link and I'm just wondering what the article reads. Anyone want to translate or summarise the article in English...please.

My English isn't very good but I try to translate the 1st part.

Drogheda United that founded 1919 in the little city Drogheda with 32.000 population in the north of the capital Dublin, are league leaders with 8 points distance and they aren't far away from their first title in their history. It isn't a random that the logo of the city and of the club is a crescent and a star. In 1845 there was a virus in Ireland which kill more than 1 million people in 2 years. And 1 million people goes to America or Australia because of it.

This is the 1st part. I hope I haven't make much mistakes and you can understand it. I haven't got time to translate the other parts now but maybe in a few days.

Fair play Selim55, good job. Your English isn't bad. It could be worst, I could of asked you to translate into Irish!!!!!! Don't stop there...its getting interesting... I like the sound of this Drogheda place....I wonder do they have a football team?????

The 2nd part:

Sultan Abdulmecid of the Ottomans sends 10.000 pound to Ireland because the virus but Queen Victoria from England asks the Sultan if he can send only 1.000 pound because she only send 2.000 pound, too. After this the Sultan sends only 1.000 pound and 3 ships full of cereal, too. But the English didn't allow the Ottomans to discharge the cereals. But the Ottomans didn't gave up. They discharge the cereals in the north of Ireland in the port of Drogheda. Since this day the people in Drogheda love the Ottomans and the Turkish. In May 2006 was a kind of party (sorry, I don't know the words to translate it exactly ) and the Irish hang a poster for say thank you. Many people in the area thought that the crescent and the star should be the logo of the town and of the club. Altough there were many problams at our fathers they send some help to Drogheda. And the Football Club of this town has a nice dream today; to be Champion.

This part was very difficult because my English isn't sufficient to translate word for word. I'm going to translate the other parts soon. In the next parts finally they're writing about Drogheda Utd. and us. It is funny to translate some thing and it is a good excercise for my school exams . Can you correct my grammatic mistakes, please ?

[İHSAN]

I hope, we will be champion ( together)!!!
