That's way OTT to be fair. Most were well ****ed. It's not as if they ran over to our section taunting us.Quote:

Probably 2 from Galway, Sligo and Harps to join Drogs but we play at Bohs next, if we were to win up there again they'd be starting to look over their shoulders.
Well, that was brutal. Again, our dreadful defending leads to a hammering against Dundalk. Granted, we've got four points off Dundalk this year, better than expected. Though that's eight goals conceded in the last two games.
Dundalk were good, playing like they really should be. They've such great quality.
Ah well, we've three weeks off now to regroup. Need to work hard to secure third place, it's all very tight.
Derry 0-4 Dundalk. 14 points the gap now, although we've a game in hand. We haven't been great since the two lads left, but still should have enough to get over the line. 3 points tomorrow is crucial really
I think you're being a bit over-dramatic there. Dundalk seem to be coming good, but no chance Cork will be caught. Ye's can easily afford to draw, or even lose, a few games between now and the end of the season.Quote:

It would take a collapse that has never been seen before for Cork to lose the league.
Hopefully that game against yourselves is not arranged for the midweek after that cup final, as I'll be in Krakow. It would take a massive collapse but I just want points on board sooner rather than later to get it sealed.Quote:

Anyway I've no idea why any cork fan should be in any state of panic, they can lose at least 3 more games and still win it comfortably.
Dundalk probably have runners up spot sorted it's all about the margins now, see you next year etc.
Jesus, Sean must be some saint if he can judge people to be scumbags based on running onto a field for a few seconds. I'd hate to hear what he calls his enemies.
Anyway, good win. Didn't really see what happened with Shaw and Ludden but if he deliberately shoved him into a wall he deserves a ban and owes Ludden a huge apology.
Maybe slightly harsh, but it's certainly moronic behaviour. I don't think it should be so causally dismissed as innocent.Quote:

I know how you feel. When the media are using terms like "champions-elect", it makes fans nervous, as we know there is no such thing and nothing can be taken for granted in football. It reminds me of the 2015 season. We were so far ahead, not as much as Cork now though, but our form started to falter. Richie Towell grabbed an equaliser in Tallaght to seal the title.Quote:

I think the only real mover this weekend in the title run is that the winning margin by Cork will be significantly reduced.
They may have to wait a little longer, but they only need 8 more points from 8 games, assuming we win all of ours.
What do they need to be worried about?
Exactly. It only helps the FAI. As far as I know both clubs get a fine when away fans do a pitch invasion.Quote:

Sligo winning was a kick in the teeth, we would have been 5 clear of them with a game in hand had Cork done their job, we could have relaxed a bit with that lead.
I am very surprised to hear about Gary Shaw as he never did any of this whilst with us. What on earth happened during this match?Quote:

The worst case scenario now is one of the most amazing collapses in LoI history, maybe even European club history.Quote:

They'll win it of course, but it's entirely understandable given the way they've been playing over the last 5/6 games that Cork they want to get the last win or two out of the way now.
And as I type, Cork go 1-0 up, and I'll wager there's a lot less clenching going on Leeside.
George Hamilton and Brian Kerr have got it wrong. Gallagher had the ball in his hands and Buckley kicked the bottom of Gallagher's hands. Gallagher's palms were facing the sky and the ball has just landed on his palms when Buckley's boot kicked his hands from underneath.
Shocker of a game cork aren't playing great but harps brutal bad advert for Loi place looks shocking on tv especially the dug outs covered in rust 🤔
It's not the best looking stadium but I think the quality of the match is actually quite good. It's definitely better than the match on Friday.Quote:

I see.So Hamilton and Kerr were at the game but you know more from watching it on TV.Quote:

The footage clearly shows that Gallagher had the ball in his hands and Buckley kicks his hands.
But it's happened in a millisecond so I can see how it was given.
Another dreadful match following on from Friday, but Cork won't care about that, 3 more points is all they wanted.
Spot on. Harsh on Harps, Gallagher was pulling off some great saves. But it'd be very difficult for any ref to see the kick.Quote:

We can argue all we like about the goal but end of the day Cork were vastly superior,but we paid them far too much respect,left Morrissey completely isolated first half and just hoofed balls up.he had no chance of winning,Keita improved us slightly but I don't think Mcnulty made a save,worrying times.......
Cork were very poor for a side going to win the league.
Harps were pish and I do worry about our chances of survival after the recent performances. McAleer was a huge loss for us going forward but our defence is extremely poor, from being solid and the main reason we stayed up last season to being a horror show this.
Harps were always going to run out of gas in this so I guess Ollie figured the best plan would be to sit right back and try to nick it. And, as you say, Harps aren't the solid side they were. It won't be games like this that decide Harps' fate although, perversely, it may be Sligo's win in Cork that relegates you.
It'd be some fun making decisions using the Trackchamp coverage.Quote:

Should be a good crowd up for the match in Tallaght Friday week as they could be crowned champions if Dundalk don't beat Pats that night and they take the 3 points in Tallaght.
After all the whinging over the EA semi final neither side will be pulling any punches...
There's no point disputing the result at all. Harps were awful for most of the game and invited pressure on for the entire game. We look like a really terrible team when we defend for 90 minutes.
The goal is one of those that the referee could never really have been able to see properly. Buckley did kick Gallaghers hand as opposed to the ball, and it probably shouldn't have stood, but it would have been next to impossible for the referee to have seen it clearly.
At the same time, we didn't have a single shot on target, despite having a couple of decent half chances, especially the one on one that Timlin ballooned over the bar.
We badly missed McAleer, are badly missing Molloy in midfield, could really have done with Dsanes energy up front, and our defence have been brutal for the entire season.
We have a couple of huge games coming up at home to Sligo and Drogheda, and we simply have to win both of those to stay up.
