After the glory in Tallaght on Friday, anything will be a bonus tonight. It will depend on what team Long decides to put out. It will be asking a lot of the players to produce the goods again so soon after that Herculean effort and it wouldn't surprise me if he significantly shuffled the deck.

The bigger game is on Friday at Dalymount. Win that and we would be dragging Bray right down into the mix.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bohs were beaten convincingly by Cork, given how inconsistent their season has been. They've had some great results then often follow them up with v flat performances. And i don't mean that as a criticism. Given that they're part time and have one of the lowest budgets in the league they're having an excellent season.

**Peaky Blinder** · 31/07/2017, 2:02 PM

If Derry can follow up with a win in Tallaght (reasonably likely given Rovers record against Derry & the fact they're struggling badly with injuries) surely that'd be the top 3 more or less sorted for the season?
Also, given the gap at the bottom that's opened up in the last fortnight, IMO its a big ask to see any of the current bottom 3 pull themselves clear, so have we a bit of an anticlimactic end to the season? Cup competitions aside of course.

Ollie Horgan in the Showgrounds again Saturday nite. Wearing Gah kit that had football socks with his phone in one and his wallet in the other sock. LOI hipster of the year award done and dusted.

**Mr A** · 31/07/2017, 4:23 PM

On Saturday, Ollie attended a club related funeral, then U19 game, then went to Showgrounds and finally went to a supporter event and presented prizes etc. At least a 13 hour day. Up next day for training, then to Maginn for Derry v Limerick. That's just the bits I happen to know about. He never stops.

So Cork's unbeaten record is gone.

Always said they were a one-man team.

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/07/2017, 8:48 PM

F*ck sake Cork...

**Charlie Darwin** · 31/07/2017, 8:54 PM

I've always said the Bozos were a terrific team.

**Dalymountrower** · 31/07/2017, 8:56 PM

Amazing turnaround from a team that couldn't string two passes together v Derry last week.

**patrickccfc** · 31/07/2017, 8:57 PM

That was just mind numbing

**TonyD** · 31/07/2017, 8:59 PM

Well now. That's a turnip for the books. Who'd have thunk it would be Bohs to end the Cork unbeaten run, in Turners Cross too. Complacency from Cork, or are they just missing their talisman goal scorer ?

**Mr A** · 31/07/2017, 9:02 PM

Bohs are a good side if you let them play. Still mighty surprised by that results. Bit of white line fever perhaps? Caulfield must go.

**ger121** · 31/07/2017, 9:26 PM

Tell me why, I do like Mondays

**El-Pietro** · 31/07/2017, 9:52 PM

We should have been 3 or 4 up at half time. Really missed Sean tonight. Second half Bohs came out strong - we got back into it and then the pen. I honestly didn't think it was a pen, or even in the box but as I was at the far end I'll give the ref the benefit of the doubt. Bohs then resorted to delaying tactics as it their right and while we improved the ball just wasn't falling for us. We had a few chances late on but not high enough quality. Sadlier has a long way to go to get to the required level and Campion has a long way to go to find a club that will take him on.

Inexperience at the back, it was a poor penalty to concede, and we were fortunate not to give away another one or two sloppy goals thanks to McNulty. Robbie Williams could turn out to be a very good signing for us because we are short at the back due to injuries. We had the better of the play but Bohs deserved their win. Shane Supple was one of a handful of Bohs players who didn't waste time to his credit, he's a fine keeper.

Dare I say Bradser has been proved right, take out Maguire and you stop Cork?

**jinxy lilywhite** · 31/07/2017, 11:52 PM

Bradser doesn't come across too well dressing down a suspected concussed player.

**CraftyToePoke** · 01/08/2017, 12:00 AM

How did you all enjoy your first glimpses of Robbie Williams Esq, Cork ?

He wasn't concussed, he got a bang on the cheek.

**sullanefc** · 01/08/2017, 12:07 AM

Too many changes on the City team tonight. No Morrissey, no McCormack, no Bennett, a young CB (McCarthy) who had a mare, and a useless centre forward (Campion) who botched several good goal scoring chances.

Bohs fluffed 2 one on ones first half but scored from a stonewall pen 2nd half. Time wasting antics is what you'd expect in that situation. City not good enough to overcome them.
