If all the favourites win it'll put Pats up to 7th, 2 points off Limerick and 4 clear of the drop

Love seeing this. I have a newspaper clipping somewhere that shows Bray Unknowns Supporters Club playing in the Wicklow League!

Following on from his heroic performance in March, Anthony Buttimer gets a second bite at the cherry in the Carlisle Grounds this weekend.

Refresh my memory, what did he do that time?

First one is a dive

Peno was clearly outside the box

About 2 second between keeper going down and ball going in, can't blame him for that

As Meat loaf would say '2 out of 3 ain't bad'

First one looks a clear peno to me.

Second one, you'd imagine the linesman would be involved - he'd have a better view as to whether it was inside or outside the box. So maybe not full blame for Buttimer there.

Agree on the third one - plus you can't go setting a precedent where if a keeper is injured, play stops automatically, otherwise you'd have keepers going down injured in the box all the time. Also, it was one of the wussiest clearances from a keeper I've ever seen, so it deserved a goal.

Anyways, not as if Harps have a monopoly on disliking Buttimer.

Also, how long is he around the leagues now? Must be at least ten years, and probably more?

First one was not a penalty. 3rd goal (after keeper was injured) was fine.

Someone call osarusan, Anthony Buttimer has hacked into his foot.ie account.

But everyone (bar Harps fans) is saying the third was fine?

Some disagreement on the other two incidents, but general view overall is that he got more right than wrong.

Everyone is wrong.

Typical anti-Harps bias from everyone.

Galway have a very poor recent record in Cork, yet they are the only team to have taken a point off them. A draw tonight would be a huge step in the relegation fight, with the other teams all having tricky enough fixtures. Cork's run has to end sometime?

Tough game for us tonight Pyongyang is a hard place to go

Also the big Dublin derby should be a humdinger you'd have to fancy the home side but wouldn't be a shock if Cabinteely got something from the game

Anyone have a link for the Dublin derby match?
