Derry v PAts is an interesting one , i suppose i should be hoping for a Pats win but with Pats on a bit of a run like last year a draw might be best.
Sligo could do with the points against Bohs and that would be my hope for sure with Bohs only 7 points behind.
Big game in Division one with Finn HArps who have put a bit of a run together could close up to only 1 point behind Treaty with a win (and a game in hand)
I thought the PO places were set a few weeks ago but Treaty are on an awful run at the wrong time.
With Dundalk now looking sure to winn the Division could Harps make the playoffs and win the promotion playoff?? Be some turn u

Finn Harps don't have a game in hand. A lot of score apps don't reflect their expunged match against Kerry in the games played, which makes it look like they've a game in hand against each other. The official league website correctly reflects them as 28 played each.

Thnaks for that, its the RTE website i use for tables and fixtures youd think they would be correct....then again
Makes the game even more important for Harps so , less wiggle room

Athlone v Cobh
Dundalk v Kerry
UCD v Bray
Finn Harps v Treaty

Saturday 30th

Longford v Wexford 19:30

Important game in Finn Park, a win for Harps bring us within a point of the last playoff spot as it enters the final stages. A win for Treaty and the gap returns to 7 points and most likely get over taken by Wexford who I'd be expecting to beat Longford on Saturday

[brendy_éire]

Doherty, Stott and Winchester all suspended for tomorrow's match against Pat's, with Liam Boyce out for the season due to a hamstring injury which he has to get surgery on.
Doesn't make things any easier in what could be a critical game for both team's fortunes this year.
A win for us would kill off Pat's push for second place, but I'd probably just take a draw if offered it now.
Not sure why the match isn't the Virgin one compared with the Cork-Waterford one.

Certainly going to be watching the Sligo-Bohs match on Saturday night. This could be the weekend the Galway drop into the playoff spot.

God only knows what version of us turns up on Saturday vs Sligo. We haven’t always been the best against The Bit O’Red.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Generally seem to do well in the showgrounds all the same. Won the last 3 there anyway. Weather not looking great.

Prefer to be in the Jinks than EP anyways.

We are utterly atrocious at the moment. I think you'll win handily enough.

Shels v United off at the request of United. Refixed for following Sunday (September 7) at 5pm

[sbgawa]

im assuming that is becasue of Ollie and hats off to both clubs.
BTW if anyone didnt see Paddy Barretts post match interview last night he called out Ollie and what a great guy he was and went on for a good while in tribute.
Absolutey fantastic and class act by him , fair play

[WoodquayBoy]

Yeah, because of the funeral, Ollie will by reposing on Sunday afternoon, very sensible decision by all involved, couldn’t expect a team to play a game while their assistant manager was being waked back home.
Saw Barrett’s interview last night, absolute class from the man. It is really moving to read and hear all the tributes for, and anecdotes about, Ollie, we really do follow the greatest league

Only in Ireland would a fixture be moved for a funeral, fair play to Shels for agreeing.

[Dermobohs]

A grand move by both clubs, respect given.

[culloty82]

Ronan Teahan gives Kerry the most improbable of leads at Oriel Park!

[culloty82]

Daryl Horgan equalised from the spot, but Robbie Cleary almost instantly restored the Kingdom advantage, and 2-1 is how it stands at the break.

[pineapple stu]

Pat's 1-0 up in Derry and on a serious run of form lately

The title race could get interesting yet if Rovers are distracted by the group stages of Europe
