    I feel that we're screwed for this game. We're missing far too many crucial players. On the flip side, we haven't lost at home for close to 16 months. Not many teams win in Turners Cross, but the teams that do tend to win the league. 2007 was the last year the team that won the premier failed to win in Turners Cross (with us in the premier obviously).

    Must win game for Cork. A full house expected, so the pressure is on.

    Dundalk play really well on their travels as shown in Coatia last week, so I'm quite hopeful.

    Although I think the title is Dundalks already, a Cork win coupled with a Pats win could make the next few weeks interesting.

    In saying that I don't feel confident about us going into any game this season so Sligo could easily get something in Richmond.

    Dundalk may be the bookies favourites, but the league race is far from over. As Cork have strengthened their squad they have every reason to be hopeful that they can maintain the form shown over series 1 and 2. Pats have a quality squad of galacticos, and if they can get central defence tighter they could go on a run that puts pressure on the teams above them.

    That said, I expect Dundalk to come away from Turners Cross with at least a point - or if both teams play to recent form then there will be a 6 point gap tomorrow night

    No-one in Dundalk thinks anything is in the bag.

    I think we're just happy to be at the party... Cork people are naturally humble and unassuming.

    God only knows what team we'll have tomorrow. Just hoping we get to midnight with a squad still there!

    Stuey Byrne hasn't even wrote us off yet, we need that to happen first.

    Ofcourse Dundalk are in a great postion, 3 points clear, same games played, effectively 4 with the GD, but still 3 full months left. Anything could happen, 2 defeats on the spin and we could be 3 behind.

    However since losing on day 1, we've only lost once since, and that was over 3 months ago I think, the form and goal scoring to date, and also full points from 3 games during Europe suggests we might be hard to knock off top spot, but its far from over thats for sure.

    Tomorrow night should be a cracker, you would feel Cork need to win, but even if its a draw they are still in touch, a Dundalk win might leave them a little too much to make up over 11 games or so left, but I certainly wont be talking about the title until October.

    If we lose we're definitely out of it. 6 points is too much for us to make up, especially with your goal difference.

    A draw and a win in our next two games put us in a very strong position for Europe and keep us in touch for the title. I'm actually a little annoyed cos I only started to think the title was even a possibility after the UCD win. I only got to enjoy that feeling for a week.

    Be honest El P, were you expecting Dundalk to drop points during the 4 matches we played in Europe? I suppose we were fortunate with the way the home games fell, Athlone and Bray, but Rovers away was tricky.

    Im not saying you wont win it, but if you finish runners up that will surely be considered an excellent season?

    I'm not going to be one who is afraid to talk up our chances. If we win tomorrow night then I think we'll win the league. I just can't see us dropping enough points for another team to overhaul us if we go into the last series with a 6 point lead and a far better goal difference. We'll probably still drop points but so will everyone else.

    I hadn't thought about it no, but I thought wed come into this game tied with you and we'd then have every chance. When your team keeps winning games its hard not to get caught up in the excitement.
