Bothered??? Bane of our feckin lives. Limerick always do well against us. Definitely Dundalk's bogey team.

One all in Hunky Dory park, Pat Huuuuban as the Dundalk FM lads would say for Dundalk, Gary O'Neill hitting back for the Drogs straight away

Ref having a stinker here in humpty dumpty park. Everything going drogs way.
Dundalk have missed a load of chances but Drogheda are right in the game

Carlsberg don't do 88th minute winners, but if they did it'd be a Colin Healy bicycle kick

Great goal, great result.

That was one of the best goals I've ever seen live. I can't wait to see it on Monday.

Didn't think he was biased to either team. A few odd calls went Dundalk's way too.

Overall he was good.

Hard not to have a grudging respect for Cork's title challenge now; they're simply not fading even though they don't seem to play particularly well.

UCD v Bohs was awful rubbish for the first half, but ended up a fairly lively game. Bohs the better side for most of it, but neither of us really had anything up front. Defences on top, keepers about one save each, 0-0 a fair result. But not the worst of 0-0s.

Anto Murphy taken off to hospital in the first half. Looked like maybe another broken ankle; second in the Bowl in successive games.

Amazingly, aside from a few bizarre decisions in the second half, I thought he did a great job in keeping everything under control.

The game was a lot scrappier than I expected with the ball spending a lot of time in the air. Dundalk are a very high-ball side and their percentage of headed goals this season has to be a record. Kenny has done a great job with them on this and really plays to their strengths. I've no doubt they'll win the league.

in saying that, they didn't deserve the 3 points tonight and nor did we. Neither side did enough and the goalkeepers had little to do. Still a very enjoyable, edgy game all the same and I suppose we can take the point and build on it. I really think we can make some waves in the cup.

So Rico is doing his best to win us another league!? You'll surely roll over when you come to Turners Cross!?

Even though a Waterford Utd fan, I have no axe to grind with Cork. I lived, studied and worked there for years. I've been to so many of their games, going back to 1987. You might even say I have a soft spot for them... so I'm not being petty when I say I cannot remember any team in any league being so average and yet pushing for the title.

I say this with complete respect - they just don't give up, stay in games that they should have been beaten in, and find a way to get late goals. A fan's dream really.

I've seen them live about a half dozen occasions this season, and the only game they played well in was the 3-0 victory over Shamrock Rovers. And yet I haven't seen them lose. Fair play.

Agent Rico.

Enjoy it! I'd give anything to be battling for a title again. You can't beat the feeling week after week as the season unfolds.

Definitely a fair result, no way we did enough to win the game, to be fair Drogs battled hard all evening and probably shaded it in the second half, glad to come away with a point. I didn't think it was a particularly good match and I'm sure Drogs would also be happy with the outcome.

Big win for Cork and that must have made up for last week, definitely getting closer and we were right to say last week that 6 points wasn't a huge lead.
