....the kick-off time of tomorrow's game with Longford Town has been brought forward to 5.45pm.

[Longfordian]

Said it on our forum but cannot understand the logic of our agreeing to that kick off time at this late stage. We had two 52 seater buses going plus all those making their own way, most won't be able to make it now. Why not play it a midweek night and give people a little notice?

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Would have thought if they were going to play at that time that Saturday would make more sense

[Longfordian]

Croke Park has the American football on and the GAA on Sunday. Gardai may not have allowed another game in the area.

[Jofspring]

Could be a demolition in Thomond park tomorrow night. Oji, Robbie Williams, Folan and Leahy are expected to be out for the game and even if they play will all be carrying injuries.

[Mr A]

Surely a game can't be moved that late without the away club's permission?

[outspoken]

We agreed to the change presumably to suit the players (dublin based).

[Briuk]

What happened with Barry McCabe in UCD?

[pineapple stu]

In what way?

[Briuk]

In what way?
I don't know, he hasn't made the bench for a while neither played if I'm not wrong.

[pineapple stu]

Not sure he's really Premier Division quality tbh. Crowe, Benson and Creevy are all much better options in the centre. Burke too.

Extratime says he left in the summer (http://extratime.ie/player/1235154/barry_mccabe/). Wasn't aware of that.

[patrickccfc]

Just waiting for dundalk to score in the 89th minute

[SeanDrog]

Athlone equalised 2-2

[patrickccfc]

Or athlone equalize as they have just done

[Mr A]

And Dundalk lead.

[colonelwest]

Dave McMillan with a brace from the bench, super stuff again from him.

[patrickccfc]

All going a bit pear shaped for us with dundalk and pats winning, we need the points badly here

[SeanDrog]

Come on cork

[SeanDrog]

Drogs 3-0 👍👍

[patrickccfc]

2-2 ft.. just not good enough from us dropping points 4 points against teams at the bottom.. dundalk again showing their resilience to come back to get a win when it's needed and that attribute is what will give them the title this year.. pats gaining ground us now and too in the fight for second

[SeanDrog]

Think we move up to sixth (albeit played a game it two more). Really steady form since Horgan left.

[Louth4sam]

Cork were one point behind Dundalk at one stage tonight and finished up six behind. Dundalk can afford to lose two out of seven now with Cork winning all theirs.

can't see ye throwing it away now to be fair.. we have been very poor in the last few games and we now face a battle to get second which I would bite a hand off for now

[Louth4sam]

Just shows how small margins are in football. Had Cork beaten Bray at home and held on against Athlone they'd be two points clear.
Still not going to celebrate just yet, few tough games for Dundalk yet and if Cork are only a couple of points behind going in to last game who knows

Nobody cares!

[ATFC-1887]

You are welcome Dundalk ;) But seriously, gutted we didn't win that. Cork play some horrible football. All hoof stuff. We were the better team(not being bias, seen Cork fans say it too) and were an inch away from getting the winner at the end. Still, a point gained on UCD. Can't see us doing it but there is still hope.

[Candystripe]

Hard to believe that we lost that game. Pats were forced to defend in numbers in their own box for huge parts of the second half.

Delighted with our performance with so many players missing.

would be amazing if the last game was a title decider up in oriel but that would appear to be unlikely tbh.. we are on a wobble now it would take quiet a turnaround to pull ye back

[SeanDrog]

Nobody cares!

Thanks for your input , but please refrain from replying to my posts as I prefer to engage with other clubs supporters from the perspective of adults.

The cave man tribalism displayed by yourself is of no interest to me. I'm sure there are others more than willing to trade pointless insults with you if you look hard enough.

Enjoy your weekend

You are welcome Dundalk ;)

and still getting gratitude for the dig out last league title, where would we be without Athlone (and Limerick) to give us a helping hand now and again :D

Enjoyed the last few minutes of this match night and thats about it....this title chasing is not easy! A little more breathing space but a very busy schedule on the way with the 2 cups adding 3 additional games before league conclusion if a trip to the Aviva comes to pass and barring replays. So no counting chickens but belief is growing no doubt.

[White Horse]

Terrific display by Bohs at Oriel Park tonight. They looked a really poor outfit earlier in the season but have really improved during the season. If they had pace up front, they would win a lot more games.

Thats you told Dunny! But of course you werent looking for a reaction now:p

[WoodquayBoy]

A good win for us but not a great performance. Still, with Harpa losing - and an FAI Cup quarter final (and a likely semi final) in the pipeline, I think that's them out of the play-off chase, leaving us and Wexford to battle it out for third. We host them last game of season, could be a shootout. And with easily a tonight, Rovers Reserves move above Waterford in the table, sad to see a once great club struggle like that

[patrickccfc]

You can never say never in football but dundalk could slip up particularly away to pats and rovers but I just can't see them not winning the league from here on in.. massive game for us against rovers next week it is imperative we get maximum points from that game

[Jofspring]

As expected a loss for us tonight. Well in it up till Drogs first goal, which was a bit fortuitous having a big deflection. Always looked like a Drogheda win after that as we fell apart.

Fecking broke my heart Nesta!! Back to my cave now.... (Wifi included)

Seventh, I think. Good season, if you can hang on to it. However, I expect Bohs to finish higher than you.
