So I don't believe SBGWA is arguing in good faith. Notice they posted in the game week thread where this debate is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with this game week. They did the same thing with the future ticketing lawsuit last week. They are trolling to get a response and doing a fairly obvious job of it at that. Hence my response to themQuote:

On the football side of things that 6 to 1 win for Dundalk is a big boost to goal difference as well. Cobh somehow need to get to the last day of the season with the gap at a max of 3 for the game against dundalk but GD could play a part to. The playoffs are starting to look interesting with 3 of the probable candidates of cobh bray and Ucd looking good enough on current form to have a chance in a one off game against probably Galway.
I wouldn't go that far but the poor discipline needs to be addressed.Quote:

Poor discipline. Poor overall all round play. Kerry used to play a better brand of football. Been without their talisman striker for most of the season then as well though. One more win would mean a new points total record. It's a strange one. Hard to gauge if there actually is progress. The final league table tells the story.
4pts out of 6 in a week for Cork. An away draw against 2nd place in the league.
Is there still life there?
I'm not seeing it happening, those 4 points out of 6 have come against two teams in poor runs of form, Cork have more new injuries and they would be relying on Sligo hitting a drought of wins until the end of the seasonQuote:

Interestingly both sligo and corks next two games are against bohs and Waterford, Cork will need to get another couple of points back there and maybe they can dreamQuote:

Mother of god that’s some howler from Lewis Temple for shels. There’s gifted goals then there’s that
Looked like another defensive car crash?
That feels like 2 points dropped and an opportunity to put some daylight between ourselves and Shels in 5th.
He only came in a couple of weeks ago apparently…probably imposed from on high !Quote:

He should have went down in the box the defender was shoving into his back.
But having stayed up, yeah had to score, still nice to see him back.
We really really need two big strong centre backs who kick **** out of the opposition, every one of ours is either too soft too slow or useless.
Draw probably fair though , but both managers will be upset at the awful defending.
Dawson Devoy was absolutely head and shoulders above everyone again today, marvellous player.
The first bohs goal was about as bad as howler as I think its possible to give away. I'd say joey OB was going mental it wasn't a mistake under pressure it was just lazy and careless
Yes the surface, thats why Derry are champions elect.....their away performances have been total fire crackers too!Quote:

Even, even more annoying when you consider Harps ridiculous amount of time wasting from far too early gifted Bray the time to equaliseQuote:

Sometimes one despairs...tbf no complaints on what was a comfortable night for Longford last evening, well deserved victory and a super second goal but to travel to watch the absolute tripe dished out by Treaty under this spoofer of a manager leaves the disappointment levels at an all time high.Its 9 wins in 27 games and the usual platitudes of progress and over achievement given out to appease .Enough is enough time to go Tommy ,a long time there ,nothing to show for it and all your talk.
Yeah I thought Rob Hennessey was poor for both teams, but then again that’s like saying water is wet when it comes to himQuote:

Yet another ridiculous decision against us in Inchicore. Of course the ref will be out again next week with no implications to his ineptitude
Never a red card. I was shocked when the ref pulled it out tbh.Quote:

I’ll have to rewatch the first goal. All I saw was a defensive mix up and Mulraney followed it in. We scored some nice goals in the second half. Delighted with the three points.Quote:

When the red came out everyone around me just burst out laughing, we then all assumed the red must’ve been for something McClean said to the ref because there’s no way it could be for that foul, but low and behold it amazingly seems to have been for that. Delighted that the luck of a horrendous decision from McGrath has come back Pats way though having been on the receiving end of some shockers from him earlier in the year. At half time even with Sligo down to 10 I feared Pats would struggle to break them down given the Kalju game when they were down to 9, but Sligo just never came out of the traps second half and it could’ve been an absolute cricket score had Sargeant not pulled off some good saves and Pats missed a hatful of good chancesQuote:

DJT for Bohs v shels took two shoves in the back on his way through and stayed on his feet, that was a dive manufactured to get the defender at least a yellow and a free kick.
Ref is a gob****e for buying it, never even a free.
