Great weekend for Cork. They also play a pats in disarray on Monday which they should win and Dundalk play rovers. They could be 5 behind before we play rivers and puts some pressure on us.

We're not good enough, to be honest. Dundalk are the best team and will deserve to win the league. I think we are better than Cork though.

Why would he go back after the way he was humiliated?

McPhail back fit for Tuesday. Can't imagine it'll make much of a difference, mind.

CD, is the Rovers v Bohs game on Saturday going to go ahead at 3? With Croker on at 5, it will take a couple of thousand off the gate

No it wont take a couple of thousand off the gate.
any right thinking Rovers fan wouldn't be seen dead at a duds game, after their county boards stance to the "diet of association football in tallaght".

if it means less bozos at the game,then all the better. we dont need their greasy money.

Looks like another humiliating night for Pats in Cork. Can Bohs get 4th place?

Another poor result , terrible collapse in the last four games .
I have great faith in Bucko to turn things around to get us back on track not all doom & gloom just yet.

I admire your faith but there is scant evidence for it over the last two seasons.

Pats in 20012/2013 were a terrific side. What has happened in 2014 and 2015?

Three players from 2013 were never replaced Kenna , Russel & Bisto flood need to get back to basics , need to get more movement, more direct & more physical there is a balance between route one & tippy tappy that I feel we found in 2013.

There was strength and steel to the 2013 side. I remember the final league meeting in 2013 when we were chasing Pats. Pats outmuscled and outplayed us that night.

I think there is a lot of rebuilding to be done and it won't be easy with Rovers and Dundalk competing for players and offering good money.

Is Bisto still in Oz? I thought he might have come back for a rattle or two. Always a decent player but with a strange attitude.

Pats have been prone to poor runs this season and Europe in 2016 looks gone, unless one of the teams above them wins the cup, but since it'll be Killester.....

Europa League is far from gone from Pats. They are still only a point behind Rovers (who have to play Dundalk twice), so a 3rd place finish is not beyond them. In any event the 4th place finisher is still likely to qualify as Dundalk and Cork remain cup favourites.

That said, failure to qualify would be a disaster for Pats and could spell the end for Buckley

I don't know if it would be the end for him, though it would mean a real tightening of belts in the Stadium of Light. If that happens they are going to struggle next season.

I remember coming out of that game in Sept 2013, when Pats went into pole position in the race for the title and thinking the same, we were pushed about all over the park, esp in MF.

I'm convinced Kenny saw things in that match that we had to improve on if we were going to win the league. The physical strenght of the Dundalk sides of 2014 and 2015 would suggest he focused on that and another key area, speed.

Big match tonight and with only 5 points currently separating us and Cork this league race is far from over. It will take a big effort tonight to get the win we need to put some decent distance between Cork and Rovers. If we get the win, it will be another huge step towards the end line.

We're on a bad run at the moment. but we've still played some quality football over the past two seasons so it hasn't all been terrible. We've lost key players since 2013, notably Kenna and Russell. We've also had some terrible luck with injuries which hasn't helped. The back 4 in particular, which was one of our strengths when we won the league, has been severely disrupted since, with the result that our defensive record for the last two seasons has been so poor. Lack of strength in depth has also killed us, notably with lack of back up for Fagan this year. I daresay most teams would struggle if they lost the amount of key players we have, even the mighty Dundalk. I don't know how we're fixed budget wise next year so I'm not sure if things are going to get any better, but I share D24Saints faith in Bucko.

In general Dundalk have recovered well since the bitter disappointment of being beaten to the CL group stages by Bate,
but this evening they are playing poorly against Shamrock Rovers with hoofing a plenty, late tackles etc.

Dundalk score some quality goals, brilliant 2nd goal there.

Difference in quality clear - Dundalk have created two chances all game and lead 2-0. Rovers have had all the ball but no great chances.
