terrible conditions in bray last night but fair play to both teams in trying to play football. I think Bray were the better team over the 90 and really tried to pass the ball around. 2 good set piece goals from great corners by Lynch. Cherrie will be disappointed with conceding the Pats goal though.

Good form continues for Bray with Rovers away and Cork home left, will be an interesting end of season and even more interesting off season with rumours of more strengthening being confirmed all before Christmas!

Shamrock Rovers really struggling, Duffer looking perplexed on the bench i am all for giving youth a chance but it has to be in a nurturing way. We are so far of the pace now its mid table humdrumness for us for the next few seasons. As for the 3 wise men that pick the team, too many cooks methinks.

I thought Chris Shields was immense when he came on to replace O'Donnell. Really important player for them over the next few weeks.

UCD 0-1 Dundalk
Rovers 0-3 Dundalk

They've a way to go to catch us it seems. :-) (And that's not something I get to say every day!)

Maybe so, but they are still our best players I think. I left Jamie McGrath out of the list, who also hasn't done much this year but is still among the best we have. The Dennehys, Cawley, Kelly, Corcoran and possibly Timlin should all go. We will possibly go the same route as Rovers next year and bring more kids through. Have heard lots of good things about Markey, but he hasn't broken through yet. Freely looks very promising at the back. Midfield is our major problem, and a new striker is going to be needed when Fagan goes (as he surely will).

The usual swapping of players with Pats will not work this time.

Couldn't agree more. Only pats player I'd like is Christy fagen. As regards pulling in different directions the clear out should help with that.

Any word on where he'll go or if he'll stay? I'd love to see him at Dundalk. McMillan has scored 15 league goals this season, a fit Christy Fagan would be getting nearly 30 in that team.

Drogs one up on ucd and cobh one up in athlone. ucd missing out as it stands
15/10/2016, 7:42 PM

Half time and ucd managed to equalize. Still not enough for them as it stands with cobh winning in athlone

I suspect there could be a few more twists and turns in the next 45 minutes.

I reckon cobh will be grand, can't see them slipping up. Just a case of who comes out on top in Drogheda

Cobh game has finished, they won 2-0. Play-off place secured.

Delighted for cobh. Not sure if they will make it up this year, but would love if they did.

Drogheda - Cobh. Assume the Cobh home game will be next Saturday? Hope so anyway, would like to head down to it, and we're playing Friday night.

Nope, no inside info. Can't see him staying though, unfortunately. I'd imagine you lot are probably favourites to get him, now that you've got literally gazillions in the bank (bastids :()

Hope he's a massive flop for you (not bitter as you can see )

A top-quality striker and goalkeeper are probably the only things Dundalk are missing, and even so they've got on pretty well without. A fit Fagan up there would be ominous for Cork and the rest of the league.

Drogs 2:1 UCD
Drogheda had the better of the opening minutes, hitting the post. UCD had chances to win but Stephen McGuinness was excellent. Stretched full length in the first half. Then twice pushed efforts onto the bar from Jay Mclelland and Greg Sloggett.

UCD FANS were well looked after by Drogheda Utd. Best of Luck in the Play-Offs.

Apart from a goalkeeper and striker, I'd also expect Stephen Kenny to be targeting a right winger plus a replacement for Horgan if he moves.

There may be further recruitment, depending on what other squad players move on

Thanks.
thought it was odd but actually probably to be expected.

Id give him a cracker at next season.

Ye were fourth with Fenlon (29 points from 16 matches) and still fourth with Bradley (22 points from 15 matches). Europe was maybe looking unlikely with Fenlon as it looked like it might only be the top 3 in the league that got it. Definitely gone backwards since the switch but it's the LOI so everything could change next season.

That's the biggest turnout of them I've seen in about ten years.

They should do kiddie candle waving day every week.

I agree with the points per game but if fenlon was still here we would be in about the same position playing dull and boring football with none of the young players getting a look in. We are in a far better place now, we just need to sign some decent senior pros with the right attitude.

Nice of the Shels fans to hit the keeper with the flare. ****s.

Hard to have too much sympathy for them really given they sold their ground years ago and were happy to enjoy the days out in the sun it bought them.

Anyways, off to Tolka again next season, annoyingly. Thought we were a better technical side than Drogheda, but struggled to create too many openings. Drogheda had an advantage in that they could afford to sit back and hit us on the break, which they did well. But still, hardly out of the top three all season, hit the bar twice in the last match, couple of penalty calls turned down, and then dumped down to fourth on the last day. Not fun...

You must be a OAP. Most BD lads are in their 20s and 30s

It's kind of hard for me to know. Most BD lads don't go to games and I'm not a member. :good:

I withdraw my comment. Those are mainly fully grown men showing up for one game to protest against nothing. :good:

Maybe not next season but youve got to remember their ages and especially Clarke (out of position due to Osam and Byrne being out for the season pretty much) and Boyd have been really good this year. Heaney has the makings of a very good defender and id back him to make a real impact next year with the right center back partner(s). So yeah maybe not league winners next year without serious additions but a 2nd/3rd finish would be great then maybe in two seasons push for the league. Thats the problem with the LOI everyone only looks to the next year instead of 3/5 years down the line and id much rather win regular titles down the line with a bunch of players developed in the club than win one next year then none for a while then another with the same old journey men.

Are you being sarcastic or do you just not know who Madden is? Been brilliant all year and still probably one of the best right backs in the league.

I watched him, home and away, for a couple of seasons when he was the best right back in the league.
