A 5-fold on the Prem away sides pays out a tasty 683/1 tomorrow. Want to make it safer? Take out Rovers for 194/1. And want to basically make it risk-free? Take out Bray as well and the treble of Galway, Sligo and Dundalk gives a phenomenal 16/1.

I see John Caulfield is afraid that negative tactics from the away side will kill the game. Apparently, he expects Rovers to park the bus, sit deep and dig in for a point.

Great to hear the man renowned for his team playing silky football away from home coming out against those who go away from home and look for a point.

Neither side will even bother going out of their own half in that game.They'll probably just tip off and stand still for 45 minutes then the same again in the second half.

We should get a decent enough game in Richmond tho. Killian Brennan will get his obligatory red card against Dundalk no doubt

I've a draw in the Pats-Dundalk game, however.....considering KB's propensity for intracounty violence........damn!

Last 6 times we played Pats when Brennan played he has been sent off 3 times (we won them 3) other 3 that he managed not to do something stupid, ended up 2 wins for Pats and a draw

He's getting creative with how he gets sent off, managed to get sent off after a game in Richmond last season.

Harps v UCD should be a good game, Harps with an unbeaten start to the season, UCD in great form in the last 6 or 7 games.

I'd say a draw in this one is extremely likely.

Cork City -v- Shamrock Rovers has been put back as Rovers got stuck in traffic on the N40 in Cork. They must have just google mapped that trip 😀 8pm is what I'm hearing,

What is it with Cork and buses...

Not great from the model club, what time did they leave Dublin at? Fenlon has his excuses now if they dont get the win!

Keeping up to date with the written text updates from that game has me nodding off, a minute please for all the fallen heroes who were in attendance.

Dundalk ahead, KB still on the field, I think.

Strange with Rovers, Tallaght seems to be a Twilight zone for buses.

Wexford vs Athlone abandoned at HT due to a generator fire resulting in floodlight failure. Wexford leading 2-0 at time

Oh Sligo, my poor little munchkins, when will you start getting the rub of the green?

Kenny could probably start thinking about resting players for the champions league.
cos this league is as over as over can be
Rovers need a striker to finish in the mini league ahead of cork and bohs

Good god that was turgid stuff tonight. We offered nothing going forward, sure we hit the bar and had a close range header saved, but it was a woefully bad game. Rovers had a lot of the ball without doing much with it.. dundalk 7 ahead with a game in hand it's gona take a monumental collapse for anyone to get near them

I was actually at the Pats Dundalk game. The Dundalk 2nd was a great goal. Superb football.

Dundalk only 6 ahead, (with a game in hand) but it's some pace we are setting, that's 38 points now from a possible 42.

Rovers draws are really starting to effect them, seems Fenlon is far too worried about not losing than anything else, that's 7 draws now I think? Would have been better losing one or two and winning more games. Cork also dropping too many points at home.

Missed our game tonight, heard Horgan's second was a a brilliant move and goal.
