Yep, we might kidnap a few of your players. Don't be surprised if you haven't a clue who half our starting 11 are.

You don't actually need any strikers or attacking players in general to be able to score against us.

Do Sligo know something the rest of us don't? Are the FAI instituting a draft of sorts next season? That's the only scenario (short of impending bankruptcy) in which Sligos slash and burn policy makes sense to me.

It certainly looks a bit mental. From what I've been told spending power is down but there's no threat of any major crisis.

Unlikely to get top 4 so no real difference between finishing 5th and, say, 8th and they're clearly good enough to stay 5th anyway. Save a few quid and look at players for next season? It might be the smart thing to do

I think Sligo have been very smart in the window. Apart from signing Zayed of course. Getting rid of the high earners was shrewd

And none of the players they let go are actually any good. Good business done by Sligo.

Not sure why everybody keeps writing off Cork. Up until last weekend they had an identical record to Dundalk. They've had a fantastic season and haven't dropped off the pace like everybody thought they would.

I see the Saints faithful are setting up for a mighty triumph over a Sligo side that has craftily got rid of all its bad players. (:

It'll be a 1-1 draw.

I'd say that he meant "tricky" in the sense that it had the potential to be a really difficult tie.

It was no "savaging" though. Although Dundalk were below normal standard on the day, Rovers were pretty dismal

Limerick one up through Gaffney. Weird to think he might have been playing against us tonight. ET man says around 400 at it, imagine a lot of them are Shams fans.

Edit: 2-0 now. Turner. Things are looking up.

Edit 2: Make that three. Shams OG. Croly's last game?

3 up now ...... Crolly must be a goner now

Great goal from Towell. It was coming as soon as he got the ball.

Dundalk lead 1-0

Derry City on fire tonight again! ! Duffy with 2 and Patterson the other. Molloy just had a good goal disallowed.

Gareth Coughlan sends us 1 up against Galway.

4-0 now to Derry Patterson. All four goals will be great to watch on Monday.

4-0 now. Folan. What a night.
