Pitch inspection in Tolka apparently.

Any others?

Is the weather bad down the country?

Scorcher up in Donegal all day, fookin roasted.

Is the weather bad down the country?

Soft day in Limerick I hear, no shortage of downpours.

[Dunny]

Shels v Dundalk is on.

[Sam_Heggy]

Have a feeling the Waterford and Limerick game could end in a draw. Waterford seem to be a bit of a "bogey" team for Limerick.

At 9/4 the draw is tempting.

Also, Dundalk at 5/1 against Shels, that's massive odds considering Dundalk's players are in a way putting themselves in the shop window.

A very conservative euro or 2 on those I think (and by a euro or 2, I literally mean that)

Your gift for understatement is impressive.

[Longfordian]

Put a tenner on a Limerick/Shels double. Partly to jinx Limerick.

[Sam_Heggy]

Your gift for understatement is impressive.

I've always been called "special", now I know why.

Thanks

Not an evening for the beautiful game at the R.S.C. by the sounds of it.

1-0 Limerick at the minute anyway.

ET live update man indicates it has been bucketing down in Waterford:

Day 47: The skies continue to drop scorn from an angry God. Hope seems lost. I keep getting visions of a small sphere bouncing in every direction, what does it mean?

[sadloserkid]

Behan with the goal.

[nigel-harps1954]

The Extratime updates are great craic.

Both sets of fans have been in good voice early on here. There's been more drumming than at a Congolese wedding, and Waterford's fans are now starting to look like they've been jilted at the altar.

Shane Tracy beats Paul Carey like the first level of Super Mario and Denis Behan thrashes his cut-back beyond Packie Holden.

A sliding challenge on this surface quickly becomes a Winter Olympics bobsleigh event. Which is nice.

The pitch is wet, lady and gentleman. Surface water is exploding like a very low altitude fireworks show with every heavy step.

[nigel-harps1954]

UCD 0-1 Derry at the minute.

EDIT: McLaughlin with the goal. Little b**tard.

[Dunny]

The Extratime updater is on crack.

Fixed.

[nigel-harps1954]

More bad news for Dundalk. 1-0 down at Shels.

Some more from ET:

I'm feeling the love on Twitter right now. This game is what I imagine war reporting to be like, so I really appreciate the kind words.

Was that the worst half of football this ancient isle has ever seen? That's for history to judge, though I firmly believe it was.

Waterford's first real chance comes through a nice nutmeg from Peter Higgins down the right. The midfielder's low cross is skied over however by Peter White, whose great taste in cinema can't help him now.

Tonight's updates are brought to you by Nintendo.

I think the lads on there are quality, the English lads here at work with me are in stitches at some of it again, cant believe it compared to the ultra bland reports and updates you'd usually find on BBC etc.
