Games weekend 5th / 6th April

[Jack B]

We've quite pathetically won once in our last 22 games against Rovers apparently, so it'd be nice to address that this evening. It's been a far cry from the heady days of Morgan Langley where it felt like we couldn't help but beat them.

Pitch inspection in Wexford.

[Nesta99]

Save your phone call..it took 2 hours and 50 minutes from Finglas to Ballybofey during peak hours..

Always knew the away travel moaning by Cork/Derry/Harps fans over the years was exaggerated, N2/A5 can be as quick with luck and knocks 1/4 off the distance, motorway all the way to Cork these days so even less excuse for whinging!

The only complaint about that motorway to cork is it's so straight it's incredibly boring. Do have to take a few stops along the way to fight the boredom

I just realised the early kick off means we can go top for a period of time. Coupled with the 4 games I haven't been at being Harps wins its defo a defeat then.

Our injury list worse than ever with Grace, Kenny, Gaffney,Byrne , McEneff & Farrugia all missing , so you should being at home you should win handily

Pitch inspection in Wexford.

Meant to be at 1415, but no updates on the socials, anyone know anything?

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Game is going ahead. Wexford and Treaty tweeted it

[joey B]

What’s the story with Ronan Finn UCD fans? Is he out long term?

[sbgawa]

I heard he is out for another 4 weeks or so. Just bought a ticket for the Harps game tonight a good few Rovers fans doing the same.

[holidaysong]

What's with the Kerry colours for the UCD away kit?

[joey B]

2 points dropped there,UCD will be happy with their afternoons work after playing much of the second half with 10 men,capitalised on a bad error at the back from us,didn’t do enough to win after and compared to away from home we’re not quite at it at Finn Park….

[Patrickccfc84]

Very poor conditions in Turners Cross. City 2 up and very comfortable in this game.

[pineapple stu]

What's with the Kerry colours for the UCD away kit?
We've had that a couple of years now. Nice to mix up the away kit every now and again.

Can't really complain with a point from Donegal with ten men either. Five unbeaten now after three early defeats on the spin. Finn coming back (next month touch wood, as already stated) should obviously help, and Behan has 4 from 8, so maybe he's the prolific First Division forward I had thought we were missing.

Still can't see us going up, and not too put out by that either really.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Miserable conditions in Wexford making football difficult from the looks of things. Even enough, but Wexford have made the better chances, with two fluffed breakaways

[joey B]

Fantastic goal from Mark Coyle in Drogheda....

[culloty82]

Until I hear that final whistle blow, I'm saying nothing ...

[legendz]

Kerry lead 2-0 at half-time. Two well taken goals. Amechi missed a great chance to put Kerry 3 up. Sean McGrath with the first goal. His 50th game for Kerry. Also the 50th senior game for Kerry. 45 league, 2 FAI Cup and 3 MSC.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Wexford go in front off a deflected strike. Suddenly realised Treaty are coming up on five hours in the league without scoring...

[Calcio Jack]

Having been so comfortable in first half and leading now 2-1 for Pats from suicidal defending by Rovers - dreadful stuff from us

[pineapple stu]

Derry 3-0 Dundalk with half an hour to go - a win for Dundalk seemed unlikely, but could a hammering make things start to turn a bit nasty?

[joey B]

Dundalk 3 down in Derry , O’Donnell on borrowed time I think…..

[joey B]

Bray doing what your supposed to do against 10 men,3 up after Athlone got a first half red card….

[redarmyfaction]

Dundalk 3 down in Derry , O’Donnell on borrowed time I think…..

Tis more than the manager is wrong over there.

[pineapple stu]

Dundalk 3 down in Derry , O’Donnell on borrowed time I think…..
4-0 now.

UCD took a few batterings up in Derry the last couple of years. Lost 10-1 on aggregate both the last two seasons for example. Is that what Dundalk have slumped to?

And Drogheda retake the lead against Shels to put Dundalk six points adrift at the bottom - same as the gap from Drogheda up to Derry in second.

[joey B]

Tis more than the manager is wrong over there.

There’s no doubt about that ,but Ainscough has no loyalty to O’Donnell and it’s usually the manager who falls first…..

[NeverFeltBetter]

Two one Wexford, slight suspicion of offside for their second, but it was marginal at best. Treaty goal a great free kick, first in about four and a half hours in the end.

Probably two points dropped. Harps were the much better side but very wasteful in the final third. Couple of really big chances missed, and UCD took one of the only real chances they had. Credit to them though, that'll be a good UCD team next season once that group have a year of senior football under their belt.

We'd be talking a very different tale though if it weren't for save of the season from Kian Moore. Outrageous effort to tip Conor Tourish shot onto the bar.

And then like buses...!

[NeverFeltBetter]

And now 2-2. All happening here!

[joey B]

Yoyo Mahdy was reading foot.ie this week,2 goals in 2 minutes!!

[LTFC]

Until I hear that final whistle blow, I'm saying nothing ...

I think you can safely converse!

[NeverFeltBetter]

Wexford win it late. Fair result really, Treaty had a decent 10-15 minute spell in the second, and scored twice and conceded one in that time. Bad run of form at the moment. Some of the team looked pretty ****ed off with each other towards the end.

[Calcio Jack]

Dreadful second half from both Rovers and the ref…. Stonewall peno denied and He booked Cleary for diving when he was clearly fouled….. at least the Shels meltdown continued

[sbgawa]

Pohls with another clanger.
Depressing to think we have this many injuries and are back to needing a replacement for Manus again.

[legendz]

Kerry have their first home league win. Great way to mark their 50th game. Amechi took his goal well to secure the 3-0 win. Kerry six games unbeaten in the league and seven games unbeaten in all competitions.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Linesman in Shels game hit with a flare from the Shels crowd. Ref and linesman have walked off but still a couple of minutes of added on time left. Looks like no one sure what is happening now.

[CorribsideSteve]

Crazy scenes up in Drogheda.

[redarmyfaction]

What's happening at Drogs?

[LTFC]

Kerry have their first home league win. Great way to mark their 50th game. Amechi took his goal well to secure the 3-0 win. Kerry six games unbeaten in the league and seven games unbeaten in all competitions.

Well done Kerry.
On our side of things in our 40th season in the league and our 100th year we have our worst team in over 30 years.

[CorribsideSteve]

What's happening at Drogs?
Flare thrown from Shels fans hit the assistant lino. Match seemingly abandoned with all officials and players taken off for the last 5-8 mins. Nobody sure if match is finished or not. Game may back on shortly with both teams back out. Surreal.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Restarting in 5 minutes. Think there was 2 left.

Shels should get a points deduction for this.

[Calcio Jack]

I’d say they’ll get a fine and suspended points deduction

I said if before, you have more injuries than Tallaght A&E.Something not right with player management and also signing players who are injured or injury prone. Pohls was never gonna be the fix for Mannus. Deep down you all know he has it in him to make a mistake in a game.

We won’t even begin to mention our problems. They make yours look minuscule in comparison.

[joey B]

Fair play to Kerry ,congratulations on their first home win..

As for idiot up in Drogheda hard to know what to say anymore…

Think the FAI might make an example of Shels because it is a) A flare and b) struck a match official.

[sbgawa]

10 point deduction seems about right

[ger121]

10 point deduction seems about right

You’ll need it at this rate

Great shout!

Hitting an official has to have extra consequences and they need to start clamping down on this stuff properly
