    If Dundalk beat Cork next Monday (I don't think it is the certainty that many here think), this other sporting occasion will get a lot of mention

    Caulfield doesn't need to give a team talk Monday. The chance to win the league at home in front a packed stadium, against the team that we have been runner up to for the last 3 years, no excuse to put in another poor performance. None of this sitting back crap, we have a league title to win, we need to go at dundalk from the start so I hope caulfield doesn't take the cautious approach.

    I'm pretty certain that Cork, who are presently on 70 points, need 5 more points to win the league for certain as they're even on goal difference with Dundalk at the minute. Dundalk can finish on a maximum of 74 points if they win all of their remaining fixtures but will enjoy a superior goal difference (the differentiating factor after points) if they (Dundalk) win on Monday night, meaning Dundalk could easily finish ahead of Cork if both teams finish on 74 points.

    After Dundalk on Monday, Cork have Derry at home, Bohs away, Pat's away and then Bray at home. Plenty of room to **** it up (i.e. fail to get 5 points) there in light of current stuttering form. After Cork on Monday, Dundalk's run-in is more straightforward and they could well pick up maximum points on current form.

    Cork fans racially abusing Ogbene for the second game in a row. Other Cork fans looking at the person doing it and doing nothing for the second game in a row. Classy.

    Team talk will be irrelevant cork are playing so poorly they haven't a hope on Monday....you need to hope to pick up 5 points in the other 4 games with pressure mounting each game.....i don't blame Caulfield for taking Bolger off at least twice just before he took him off he let a limerick player past him and didn't bother tracking back.....looks like a guy that will be gone next season....

    All those teams Cork play are in the hunt for something at the upper end of the table. Will be interesting if they lost thier next two.

    Could Caulfield be the Irish Ranieri? Except maybe without the title.

    extra effort from Conan Byrne, Fagan and Brennan etc against Rovers. They've been the best away side in Tallaght. Can see Rovers falling into the same trap again. Thing is, three points might not be enough...

    Might suit Cork to be underdogs on Monday, it clearly suits Caulfield better.

    Probably upping their game to impress - everyone wants to play for Rovers you know

    Or maybe it's because it's their cup final?

    Sadly that's true. We are quickly running out of games. If we lose tomorrow it's brown trouser time.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    It is amusing that you even mention Rovers in your post
    We were disappointing on Friday but had enough chances to win the game, we just can't take our chances right now. Brain fart for the first goal, and a silly free for the second (two great finishes). We've earned the right to have a bad spell, and given we are missing 3/4 of our first XI from the first half of the season our form is a at least partly explained. If Dundalk are given a free pass for taking half a season to figure out their team after losing a few players at the end of last season then surely we get similar right now.

    I don't think we'll win it tonight, form says calling for that would be madness, though I'm certain our players will put on a performance tonight.
    No one will remember this run of form in years to come unless we throw the league away, no one remembers the lead Dundalk almost threw away in 2014 (obviously not as large a lead but the points we've thrown away at this point would be similar if we lose tonight).

  15. Thanks From:

    There is only one thing that counts at the moment. Getting enough points to win the title.

    Once that is done and dusted, rebuilding the side will be the priority.

    Looks like a good atmosphere in Turners Cross tonight.

    Brian Kerr on commentary just referred to Seán Hoare as "Seán Hoor" before correcting himself, haha.

    I hope the ref doesn't ruin this.

    Two yellow cards that shouldn't be.

    Heard that. Haha.

    The ref meanwhile is doing his best to ruin the most anticipated match of the year. Gave 2 yellows for absolutely nothing. Neither were even fouls!

    Roy Keane is in attendance but I'd have liked to have seen Martin O'Neill there too considering it's a clash between the two top teams in the country. I wonder does Keane have his eye on anyone for international consideration or if he's just taking in the game because he happens to be back in Cork at the minute.

    Calamitous goal to concede. Probably a bit unfortunate but Cork have certainly started with intent and their pressure forced that ****-up.
