    BATE turned off the lights during Dundalkโ€™s training in the stadium last night and threatened to put on the sprinklers if they didnโ€™t leave. Up against it already!! COME ON DE TOWN!!! Nobody wants us winning!! Stick it to de man!!!!

    Huge game for the league. An away goal and a draw would suit nicely

    Stupid goal to give away but BATE were different class after that. Dundalk were heroic in the last 10 mins to keep it 1-0.

    Half Time. Very solid defensively, Gary Rogers has had little to do but we need a little bit more going forward. There was one attack that we cleared and BATE had 1 outfield player in there own half, that shows that there is space there for a counter attack and going all out defence is important but its a recipe for disaster. At this moment it looks to be reminiscent of Ireland vs Belgium at the euros an we need to ask more questions for the BATE defence.

    If they came out and played further up theyโ€™d get caught badly on the counter I think. Oriel park would have been a big advantage, feck UEFA.
