Waterford’s fixture with Derry has been moved to Tuesday with a 18:15 KO.
Common sense prevails
Clocks go back tonight dont they. 6.15 might squeeze it in so.
I get the thought process behind pushing the game back to Tuesday, but what’s the point in the kickoff time being 18:15? It’ll be dark before the game is over with that kickoff time so what’s the point in playing it at that time instead of 19:45 which is obviously easier for fans to get to after work
6.15 pm is a nuisance for a lot of fans including me and will definitely affect the attendance. I presume it's to allow Derry get home at a reasonable time as they probably only arranged to stay in Waterford for one night.
With clock gone back it will now be dark from 5.30pm so you’ll need working floodlights from before ko….. that being the case seems a stupid decisionQuote:

Sligo continue to do enough to hang onto 3rd.

What game are RTE showing on Friday night?

Probably Waterford/Rovers, Harps/Derry won’t be on anyway and I’m not sure if they’ll show Pats/Sligo so soon after being on….Quote:

Cost cutting seems to be their main objective these days especially when it comes to LOI coverage. Having only one cup semi on live was poor.Quote:

The lead commentator is poor. If you weren’t from these shores you wouldn’t say it was English being spoken.
As things stand, + result on Thusday and maybe beat Longford, it will be a big last league night v Derry! Followed by Dundalk fans becoming St Pats fans for a few days - purely to back Stephen O'Donnell of course. Of course we may have our own 'cup final' couple of days prior also...
Sligo fans singing the get Battered everywhere they go song, Cringe.
Entertaining game in Richmond 2-2.
Drogheda down to ten men.
Absolutely battered POTM FC until Paddy Barrett gifted them a goal and the game changed. Tired game all round that doesn't mean much for us but disappointing to let it slip all the same.
Late winner for Sligo.
Gary Deegan showing yet again that’s he’s a non footballer but an utter cnut
Not the result needed for Harps.
Did the Harps commentator comment on a 1-1 draw? Could come back to bite but I hope that heavy sodden Finn Park pitch has taken it out of the legs of Drogs players for Thursday!
Important point for Bohs when ye look at GD if there is a melee last day.
Like two pathologists discussing an autopsy, but they both deserve a medal for keeping going when everybody else watching an utterly atrocious game of football must surely have lost the will to live.Quote:

Anyways glad to be not leaving empty handed.Quote:

Harsh on Longford (again) tonight. Had the better chances second half till the last 5 or 10 minutes.
Cracker in Richmond. Pats could and should have been 3-0 rather than 1-0 after a dominant first half. The early goal in the second half should have put it to bed but the goal gifted to Bohs gave them confidence that had been totally lacking to that point and from the equaliser on it was anyone’s game. Pats not too bothered about the dropped points, second spot is almost wrapped and will be confirmed unless Sligo win in Richmond on Friday. More importantly, it was a hugely entertaining game with both teams playing good football, which bodes well for the Cup Final.
The pitch in United Park has looked like crop circles over it for almost all of this season.Quote:

With oriel , derry, shels and bohs new stadium that would be 6 astros in the Premier if harps go that way.
Hopefully their still gunning to get a win. They could play a huge part in the outcome of this season with their remaining fixtures. Even if they could manage a draw in their remaining games.Quote:

You could see the confidence and composure drain from the Pats defenders and when we equalised I thought we'd go on to win. We had our chances but Pats dominated towards the end so a draw was fair enough.
It turned out to be a nice evening for football after a miserable day and the away end is much better with the shed demolished. Just a shame the game wasn't on a Friday.
Apparently we're getting a hybrid pitch, exact same as the surface at Lansdowne Road.Quote:
