Dundalk FC,Shamrock Rovers FC

Captain John Mountney’s injury-time winner against Shamrock Rovers has moved them to within three points of neighbours Drogheda United

For a few magical moments on Friday night, Dundalk fans could forget about the mayhem that has engulfed their club.

His 91st minute strike was a thing of beauty. Substitute Hayden Muller’s right-wing cross took two bounces before it reached Mountney on the edge of the area.The dugout emptied out and the stands shook as fans celebrated a famous win, only their second of the season after 16 games. Their sluggish start suggested that they could have done with more time to go through their pre-match routine.

Former St Patrick’s Athletic boss Jon Daly has entered the picture as a possible replacement for King, who last month came in for Stephen O’Donnell, only to leave on medical advice.And another Bit O’ Red legend, and former Shelbourne and Longford Town underage coach, Gavin Peers was spotted among the 2,530 crowd last night.
