Big game for Rovers tonight, a real must win heading into the break and the draw for Europe next week.........hopefully Waterford can do us a favour against Shels.
Big game also for Longford in Kerry, lose and they are 5 points adrift at the bottom of the first division, not what anyone would have expected and on form youd have to make Kerry favourites.
Harps UCD another big one in terms of pushing on agaisnt a poor enough Cork side.

Cork v Cobh sees another big local clash. Leaders Cork have had a huge edge in these games with their winning results. Cobh will be looking for a result to stay in the play-off positions!

Not sure I'd class it as a 'must win', but based on Pat's form, you'd be disappointed not to get the points.

Could Derry get a third win on the bounce? Haven't done so in over a year, so probably not. Bohs beat us last time in Dalymount, but didn't look that much of a threat last month in the Brandywell.

Waterford-Shels seems interesting, but just can't get over how bad Waterford have been each time we've played them this season, so can't take them as in any way a serious outfit.

The result in Oriel will be a better indicator of how the great escape will pan out than picking up points v Derry or Rovers. We need to be winning against teams that will also be damaged by a loss in terms of potentially being sucked in to a relegation scrap. It will be tight but the sort of fixture you need to take 3 points from to really state an intention of being in the fight. Derry, Rovers, Galway and Dundalk wins while unlikely to happen will add an interesting layer to the relegation battle with the 2 never been relegated really flirting with a relegation playoff.

Waterford were awful in the game in Tallaght where they beat us 3 to 1 we were just completly inept starting with Pohls og from the opening corner.
But you cant argue with the points haul

Just noticed Rob Hennessey is reffing in Dalymount tonight, so any confidence I've had is gone.
We're 12 games in a row without a win when he's been in charge.
Not saying he's biased or anything, but there must be something in the way he refs the game that doesn't suit us.
