I'll be at Oriel Park this afternoon for a #LouthDerby in the Under 20 League. Follow @loveisthedrog for updates and there'll be a match report for subscribers later on too.
Let's all take a moment to admire the footwork from Darragh Markey. His ability to manipulate the ball in tight situations is special.
REPORT // My report for @RTEsport from Weavers Park is available below ⬇️ 'There had been draws aplenty for Drogheda of late but these three points are crucial, especially given Dundalk’s success at Oriel Park.' rte.ie/sport/soccer/2…
REPORT // Filed on-the-whistle for @ExaminerSport. 'Markey equalled his league tally for the whole of last year. Goals are something he knows he can add to his game and in the immediate aftermath of his strike, he looked eager to repeat the trick.' irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/a…
REPORT // My dispatch for @The42_ie tonight. 'With Shamrock Rovers, St Patrick’s Athletic and Shelbourne to come in the next two weeks, the visit of the Bit O’Red was a chance Drogheda could hardly pass up.' the42.ie/drogheda-sligo…
NEW // The Drog Pod post-Sligo Rovers episode is now live for paid subscribers. A brief review of tonight's win touching on Darragh Markey, Warren Davis and sluggish starts. loveisthedrog.ie/p/copy-the-dro… (€)
The return of complimentary tea and biscuits in the press box. I, for one, welcome our new Trivela overlords.
Understand there was 52 away tickets sold for Weavers Park tonight. Maybe a few stragglers buying tickets at the hatch pre-kick off too. Security and stewarding presence appears much reduced tonight as a result.
TEAMSHEET // Full teams from Weavers Park. Sligo are missing Max Mata, Fabrice Hartmann, Simon Power, Nandi Pijnaker and John Mahon. Big opportunity for Drogheda.
TEAM NEWS // Just one change for Drogheda from last week's 0-1 loss at Dalymount Park. Frantz Pierrot replaces Ryan Brennan, who is on the bench. Andrew Wogan makes the squad, but not the starting XI. He's on the bench. Evan Weir hasn't made it.
I'll be in Drogheda tonight for the visit of Sligo Rovers. Filing reports for @RTEsport, @The42_ie, @IndoSport, @IrishSunSport, @MirrorSportIE, @ExaminerSport and the Irish Daily Star. Not necessarily in that order.
The situation is far from dire. Positivity abounds at United Park. There is not the slightest whiff of discontent, fear or anger. These are heady days. Drogheda United, however, have won just one league game in their last 15 outings. loveisthedrog.ie/p/victories-ar… (€)
NEWS // Hubert Murphy to leave his role of General Manager at Drogheda United. Executive Director Wesley Hill will relocate to Ireland "for an extended period" in the summer to assume some of Murphy's responsibilities while Drogheda 'refine the club’s operational framework'.
NEW // One win in 15 league games - dating back to last September - makes for uninspiring, grim even, reading. 15 matches is a handful short of half a season. Subscribe now to read the latest on Love Is The Drog (€). loveisthedrog.ie/p/victories-ar…
Beautiful. I often wonder if players, managers or ambassadors in this case realise just want a difference these visits make go these children. I hope so. It means the world to them, genuinely. Good for Sophie, and well done John. These kids deserve these days.
Kevin Doherty received his fourth yellow card of the season tonight. The other 12 Premier Division managers this season (Devine, Burns, Gartland included) have five between them.
🗞 Club Statement | Lifetime ban issued for incident at Drogheda United ➡️ shelbournefc.ie/club-statement…
Conor Kane was exceptional off the bench against Derry City on Friday evening. The first few minutes, out of position at right back, were not an accurate indicator of his night to come. Subscribe now to read his interview on Love Is The Drog (€). loveisthedrog.ie/subscribe

Looking forward to an exciting weekend at FAI HQ as we host all @LeagueofIreland clubs for the @EASPORTS LOI Academy Development weekend ⚽️ A great addition to our games programme 👏 #LOIAcademy
A big day ahead at FAI HQ! Best of luck to all the players and staff! #LOI | @EASPORTSFC
@ByBarryLandy He had a great game last night. Drogheda are lucky to have him.
@carabini_10 @ByBarryLandy And it’s not in the highlights on YouTube either for some reason. Incredible block by the defender at the end of the move
@ByBarryLandy What you don't see in this clip is he actually gets on the end of the move when Warren and Conor get down the left, pull it back and his shot is blocked! Honestly think it's the best I've seen him play What a player 👏
Daily Telegraph going big on Dundalk tonight too
@ByBarryLandy We should double ticket prices - worth it just to watch him
The #TeatimeSession is back @BBC6Music this afternoon with radio premieres of new music from those infectious groove-meddling hep cats @fatdog_fatdog, an emphatic new single from @_DEADLETTER and a lilting piece of reflective pop @WJHealey. Live from 4pm
@DroghedaUnited tough night last night but our supporters were outstanding. Best away crowd in a long time.
@PaddyCasey87 Bet you mine would be better......
DJing tonight @theklabristol but stopped off here for old time’s sake. Thank you to @Lonely__Tourist for introducing me to this place some years ago. It’s a home from home.
I got lucky and was the ghostwriter on this project. Conor is a great storyteller with a great story to tell - I think you'll love it. You can pre-order the book here - linktr.ee/conorniland
Obviously a huge slice of context should be issued with this fact, but in terms of how their dominance plays out, across the top ten European leagues, only Celtic and Man City have kept a higher rate of possession than Shamrock Rovers in their given active league seasons.
Signing off from #Saddlers duty for the 23/24 season - won’t forget those big Gillingham, Wrexham and Grimsby wins for a good while. Hoping there might just be a few more highlights before the campaign is out…🤞🏻
@ByBarryLandy He could play for Louth yet
Tested. Hope I didn’t fail you Never doubted you.. as it is your plan, not mine 🙏🏿 …. Happy to score my 1st goal. Pray for many more 🤲🏿 #TrustGod #TrustTheProcess
