They let him go, but imagine the psych when a slimmed down Gunnarsauras bounds out of the Aviva tunnel more hellbent on payback than Adebayor after that Man City goal.

Heroics from all tonight BUT what a performance from Patrick Hoban tonight, hacked down 100 times, and just carried on, his hold up play was vital, troubled their defence all night, ran till he dropped and slotted home in the shoot out. One of
@DundalkFC
's all time greatest.
You'd wonder when Ajax or Feyenoord are playing in Europe does the Dutch National TV channel NPO ignore the games and show Belgian soap operas instead? Then not even mention the results on the sports section of its nightly news?
8 years ago, the most dramatic circumstances in which the League of Ireland title has ever been won. A full house, 1st against 2nd, final game of an epic campaign, a winning goal from a returning Captain whose career could have been ended by injury. Truly epic stuff.

If the truncated 2020 Airtricity League season is remembered at all, it will surely be because a league of Ireland player scored a goal so good, it got featured on
@BBCMOTD
An unprecedented, historic, and possibly never to be repeated feat.
Sneak 6 were gifted a vibrant Football Club with a dominant team, great sponsors & millions in the bank to invest. Bill Hulsizer turned all that into a indebted, toxic, laughing stock with a team in the relegation zone. Just what value does Bill think he's added?!? Just GO FFS.
People bandy about the GOAT title like it's going out of fashion, but
@DundalkFC
fans should enjoy
@PaHoban10
for as long as he's leading the line, because he's genuinely a once in a lifetime center forward, a genuine Dundalk all time great. It would be criminal to let him leave.
If Magilton is content to let Shields go he's unfit for his role & should go. If he lacks the authority to insist Chris gets a contract offer, then there's no point of even having a "Sporting Director" & he should go. There's at least 10+ players who they could/should get rid of.
@DundalkFC
It's been quite a journey over the last decade. Plenty of glorious nights and challenging times. Best of luck for the future Vinny & thanks for all you've done with

as player and coach in often surreally difficult circumstances.

return to a European qualification spot and claim local bragging rights in a comprehensive win. What did you think of tonight's performance?
Man, myth, legend Patrick Hoban, re-signs with

on a long term contract. He is the greatest, he'll become Dundalk's all time top scorer and we won't have to change our Avatar.

defeat Jim McLaughlin's Derry City at Dalymount park to secure a League and FAI Cup double. 34 years ago today. The team included future managers Terry Eviston and Martin Murray.

👂 Despite the frightening incompetence displayed by the club's owners, we have a manager that's not only galvanized the team to fight for top flight survival, but cares about what happens to the club next. We're lucky to have Vinny Perth on our side.

Full interview on on Saturday morning.
When your team scores a marginal goal you sometimes glance to the linesman with fingers crossed and hope the flag doesn't go up. Nobody even considered looking to the linesman when Michael Duffy scored for
@DundalkFC
tonight, he was so clearly onside.
No season pass! You'd wonder what sort of market research was done when coming up with this model. Surely this will cause LOITV's domestic revenue to decline massively. It's like a club refusing to offer season tickets, bizarre.
LOITV details for 2022. No season pass. Individual Prem games available for €7. Can understand the thinking behind it but still liked the idea of a bundled package for the ability to switch around between games on a given night. Will not be popular with some overseas scouts…
@DundalkFC
A pity things didn't continue as they began with that very promising first season in charge. No exaggeration to say Stephen O'Donnell is a figure who is loved by

fans who will wish him all the best for the future.
Happy New year to all

A lot to be proud of in tonight's performance. Massive gulf in resources but no gap in commitment. Congratulations to a fantastic group of players,

fans are very proud of you. Hope now to see you all signed up for the next campaign so we can build for the new season.
It's being reported by

Great result as ten man

defend their lead until 98 minutes and take all 3 points to gain ground on the league leaders prior the trip to Tallaght. Who stood out for you in what was a great team performance?

Always a little sad when a European campaign comes to an end but
@DundalkFC
left everything on the pitch tonight, lots of heroic performances, the team pushed Vitesse to the final minute, battering them for the final 20 minutes. Very unlucky not to get the equalizer they deserved
Lots of jabber this week but if you're Irish, never watch
#LOI
& your Twitter profile has a picture of an English football ground as its banner, you're more responsible for the disappointing state of Irish football than Stephen Kenny.
