Such belief is laudable PC and I agree in that it will be far too early to concede a league even if 13 points adrift in round 1. That said, I think this Derry side is a lot meaner this season and wont have a major blip like 2022. Last season they would have buckled under the sort of pressure of the Tallaght game but they were efficient and effective in getting the win against the run of play. They will mostly outplay sides but will grind out results too imo.

I cant make any calls that arent just stating the obvious on Derry v Dundalk. A result for Dundalk will be excellent, it could be a hammering either. We will know a lot more about this Dundalk side by tonight than we will about Derry tbh. If we win well then I may have underestimated how our season could go....

For the fun factor Dundalk, Shels, Bohs and UCD wins will be 'great for the league'.

Pitch inspections in UCD, Derry, Richmond and Tolka. The Derry one is strange, what is there to inspect on an all weather pitch? It�s either covered in snow or it�s not, and if it is it would surely just need to be shovelled off no?

speaking from experience, those pitches aren't immune to frost/ice. we'd regularly train on one of the FIFA certified ones and once or twice, when there's loads of dew that freezes, it becomes crazy dangerously slippy. also the grass tears much easier at that temperature, so there's much more wear and tear on the pitch.

Scoreline starting to get ugly in Galway, as Lomboto makes it 4-0.

This is becoming a reality tonight. Galway are running riot. A harsh lesson but one that has been coming. Galway are sending out a statement win and are in the mood for more.

Treaty are utter muck so far this season.

Treaty United definitely not a patch on where they were the last two years, struggling a fair bit. I rely on my father for news and he's given up already! Only so much you can expect I suppose, but a dismal start to the season.

Some truth in that I guess. They're not small, they're just far away.

Rovers again had about 70% possession but created little � as for Shels well coached and organised but offered nothing up front�. Without checking the records I�d be surprised if any side has even won the league after starting with no wins from first five�.. pity but staring to look like the players have lost their hunger ; they need to look deeply into themselves as they�re one match from losing the supporters � still like all periods of dominance always sad to see it dying with a whimper or can Bradley show another side to his fantastic management skills and turn this around�. I believe he will

More trash from us tonight, ridiculous tackle from Lennon when on a yellow card. Bohs are a good side but we're really struggling.
