That would be such our luck - do enough to finish fourth, Derry win the cup but finish outside the top three so the euro place doesn’t filter down to fourthQuote:

Kerry's draw with Finn Harps was enough to climb off the foot of the First Division table last evening in the battle to avoid the wooden spoon. There'll be a few twists and turns yet. Longford have better momentum.
Is the country awash with money? Seems every other person is struggling in some way. Either can't save for a house, rent is getting too much for them, can't afford child care, groceries & bills too expensive. Some people are certainly showing they have money but I reckon a lot of that is on credit cards or loans.Quote:

While I don't watch all the Dundalk games what I have seen they must be one of the better sides to finish bottom in my memory. There will be a few in for their players.Quote:

Next season will be interesting in PD, who are the runners and riders for bottom, should be a shortlist soon.
Hear they are promising some unicorns in Dublin zoo too.Quote:

Pats worth their lead at half time. Some lovely football. What an effort by Aidan Keena, hitting the bat from his own half. Such a pity it didn’t go in.
If there were four or five more games left, probably.Quote:

2-0 now.
One thing's for sure,it won't be shels winning the league. 2 nil to pat's now
Pat’s absolutely levels above Shels,look quicker and fitter …
1 back for shels so not over yet
Shels duely get a goal from an absolute screamer from Tulloch!
Bloody hell!
I'd like to retract my previous statement and say Shels will win the league this season:).
Impressive comeback against an in-form team
Do you want to retract your retraction now?
Turned into to a classic! Shels will find it tough to come back from this…
Should have been a free in to Shels before the Pat's goal, looked like a rugby tackle
Cracker of a game. Much better watch than the Premier League...
Nice of Shels to fall apart and kill the game on themselves. But Duffer is in everyone elses head alright.
1 win in 9. Crazy they are top of the league.
Mad game.:)Quote:

Dunno who's gonna win the league tbh
Would have been a travesty if we hadn't won that. Miles the better side only for Shels to pull two worldies out of the bag, have all the momentum and look like they'd be the only winners out of the game from that point before they unravelled themselves.
We couldn't.
Could we?
A hell of a game. It's great when these games are on on different days than a Friday when nobody else is out at a game.
Wow. Am bloody exhausted after that, and I’m watching on TV. ?? Really, we had the chances to be home and hosed before Shels came back. Two cracking finishes from them in fairness. Epic game, the kind you just love coming out on the right side of. Up to 5th now !
Damien mcgrath screwing up again.Quote:

Great game of football. Pats should have had it wrapped before the comeback and then Tulloch should probably have won it.
Difficult one for him to see from the angle he had, TBF. You'll often see them given to defenders.Quote:

Few videos of the bother beforehand going about. Not great, but if the FAI are fine with Dundalk and Drogs fans knocking lumps out of each other on the pitch in Oriel, can't imagine they're too bothered about the same thing on the Drumcondra Road.
Pat's are the 2024 spiritual league champions. Nice to see Kenny happy in a post match TV interview for once :D
Duffer is a mad thing.
Brilliant game of ball and stadium was rocking.
Nobody mentioning Galway???
That would sum up the mad season it had been
Great game and a great advert for the league. Thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Galway are level with Rovers and have quite a kind run in comparatively to the other sides. Definitely being done a disservice not being included in the mix.Quote:

In nearly any league anywhere, 28,30,33 goals is evidence of a long, battering season in the relegation mire. But not Galway. But we really couldn't. It'd be too much of a miracle. Shels are gone. They've been so utterly underwhelming for several weeks now, as have Derry, and to a lesser extent Rovers. Pats, on the other hand, are making a grand, last furlong of Cheltenham, charge for this title and they still have an outside chance of pulling it off. Pats-Derry final game of the season may still have some far reaching consequences.
