Err is "mod" not short for moderator? And is the basis of text speak not shortening every word to incomprehensible gibberish? If this is the case I think the moderator should moderate himself and issue himself with a poking to set an example to the great unwashed peasantry that this sort of thing won't be tolerated!

Nah, I can promise there'll be no whinging if we beat ye. :D
Big game for Pats. League is really done and dusted if we don't win you'd have to think. Could be a tough one for Dundalk v Drogheda though, so, three points in Cork and you never know.

Sensible decision. Drogheda do not have the capacity to sell tickets to a large number of away fans. The queue for tickets before the last visit went down the Windmill Road.

Limerick 1-0 up at home to Bray with an hour gone. Dave Scully sent off for Bray after getting a second yellow for diving in the box.

4-1 full time. Gaffney hat trick and Lynch for Limerick, Zambra for Bray. Great result, Limerick jump two places to 7th. Relegation very hard to foresee now.

We now know that Rovers are no better or worse than Bray.

The addition of Lee Lynch and the new mangers controversial decision to allow the team to pass the ball forwards on occasion have transformed Rory Gaffney.
Pity our next two games are back to back away to Dundak and Pats.
Having said that Dundalk mightnt fancy us even when ****e we 've bothered them in Oriel in recent years.

Gaffney's always looked a terrific player for me but Taylor never fancied him and when he finally did have to play him he just seemed to have you lumping balls at him all day. I'd have been over the moon if we'd swapped him for Zayed.

He's still frustratingly green at times (gets caught offside ten or twelve times a game) but he's always been a major handful and his confidence is sky high at the moment, two cracking finishes again tonight.
If he ever finds a coach to work a bit of extra cuteness into him he 'll be a serious operator.
Tv cameras and Neil doyle as ref will result in at least one red card and probably a penalty tonight. I hope we're not on the receiving end. If it somehow stays 11 v 11 and we get a good performance from the referee than I expect a cracking game.

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.

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.

Cracking goal from Healy.
Hopefully they can close the gap and take the title this year -it would be a great achievement for Caulfield in his 1st season and they would definitley deserve it in my opinion.
Cork have been the best team Rovers have played this season from what i've seen.

The team that finishes on top after 33 games generally deserve it - but I doubt that this will be Cork.
I am baffled as to how you can say so emphatically that they deserve it at this point

Now I get it - Hoops are the centre of the universe syndrome
Disappointing result for Pats last night. That's us out of the title race then. All we've left to play for now is the c......... oh, nevermind.

I don't know if you can say that it's now a two horse race. 10 points with 10 to go is not insurmountable. One thing is that it has stopped what momentum that pats were picking up. Rovers will have a bounce now with Pat the rat at the helm and will be difficult to beat.
Its far from over yet and there will be plenty of twists along the way/ just hope we can stay ahead of the chasing pack.
I think if we keep up our performances up like we have done in the previous weeks and stay injury free I would be more than confident of us having a successful season

Quite entertaining game in Longford tonight. Both teams really going at it, although neither creating much in the way of chances. Wouldn't begrudge Longford the title either, best team in the division by a long way.

Hooliganism is a full time job :cool:
Such a weird feeling in Tallaght, closing out a game without the dread of every opposition attack ending in some defensive howler. Rovers were poor in the first half and the crowd were taking some convincing, but the second half was controlled and Nutsy was able to give players clear instructions to change tactics as the game went on. Kelly, the shortest man on the pitch, won more headers than Sheppard, Kilduff and Zayed combined have all season. Lots to work on and we have no chance of challenging for the title, but it feels good to have an actual football manager in charge.
