Come on dundalk. I don't want us to win the league while I'm at home having the dinner you know. Would be such an anti-climax if it happened that way

Shut up for f*ck sake will ya..I'd love to see Cork having won the title around 6:45pm Saturday.

That could well be exactly how it pans out

Dundalk are likely to be focused on the cup replay the following Tuesday and have little or nothing to play for on Saturday. I suspect that the team selection will be significantly influenced by that game and there could well be up to 6 changes from the team that started against Rovers last Sunday.

Cork are going to win the league either way, but winning it on Saturday evening could well prove the final anti-climatic element in a season where it seemed likely at one stage that they would to go unbeaten and maybe win the title in August.

Nevertheless Cork will be worthy champions when it happens

Just send the 19s, don't be risking injuries on that bog of a pitch!!!

**redobit** · 05/10/2017, 8:16 AM

It's been 7 weeks since our last league home game in the Showgrounds. Our last home game was against Pats on August 5th. What a joke.

I heard Ollie is digging trenches and building those traps with pointy sticks in them. Harps squad have been training with shanks all week. Dundalk would be insane to risk anyone they care about in those circumstances.

If you can deliver a few short term injuries on Saturday I promise we will do the business against Sligo

Don't remember many favours from you lads you've nearly kept Pats up on you're own, no deal!!!!!!!

**El-Pietro** · 05/10/2017, 10:26 AM

Come on Dundalk!

Mon Dundalk Reserves/U-19s you should say, and judging on last night Harps will beat us

**Yossarian** · 05/10/2017, 11:29 AM

I will be very happy if we play our reserves/u19's on Saturday. Cork will win the league and our game on Tuesday is far more important. We can't afford any more injuries to central midfield with Shields out and O'Donnell always close to another injury. If Harps win because of that then so be it.

We played Bray on the 15th but it's still ridiculous

Sign of a good manager when you can just keep things going as normal while under pressure.

**oriel** · 05/10/2017, 12:27 PM

Dundalk will be struggling badly in MF v Finn Harps, Shields out, Mountney out also, I wouldn't be risking O'Donnell and Conor Clifford is somehow suspended !

I'd be tempted to go with McGrath and Kinsella in the middle and definitely start young Carlton Ubaezuonu too.

I can see Kenny resting at least 6 key players for this one. Harps will have a decent chance of a result.

**Mr A** · 05/10/2017, 12:34 PM

Oi. We do the mind games around here.

It's the sort of thing that could sink a lot of clubs. How can you plan ahead to pay wages when there is practically an off-season with no home games during the season.

**patrickccfc** · 05/10/2017, 1:05 PM

Of course dundalk will take that moment from us. They did it last Monday, and with Tuesday the priority it seems, it's possible for us to win it in the worst way. Wonder will the players do a Leicester and be all up at Sheppard's gaf watching the match
