cork were terrible tonight, defence useless. unwilling to take any shots on goal from outside the 6yard box. showed total lack o confidence. Rovers well deserved it. im worried.
Good result for us tonight. Our young lad Gary McCabe had a stormer tonight. He's one to look out for. UCD's only real threat came from their number 7 and Conor Sammon did look a bit menacing at times, at others he seemed a bit clumsy. But I won't harp on about that. Not a great performance but thoroughly effective.
That's right. That's Delaney's second in two games.Quote:

Longford dead and buried now.
Who's Cork's fat controller?Quote:

Still, had to lose sometime. Roll on Waterford on Friday, and touch wood another ten game unbeaten streak!Quote:

Looks much better for Bray and Waterford in terms of the scamble down our end. Bray with 2 matches in hand of all others, Waterford with one.
Whats the promotion/relegation situation this year?
Bottom team goes straight down, 2nd from bottom in playoff with 2nd in 1st division(i think, could be a playoff semi between 2nd and 3rd in 1st, not sure)Quote:

this should give the 1st division team momentum coming into the Premier Div play-off so wouldn't be too confident going into that game TBH.
Agree Hoop. Dundalk are in the box seat and even now, it looks like Cobh or Limerick37 with both playing good stuff.Quote:

Average enough. He was saying beforehand how he enjoyed his trip so was surprised he played the full 90 but considering the scouts were there and cark dont wanna get stung again..........Quote:

KOH
Galway Utd v Limerick 37 in the the play-off, eh?
Now that would be interesting, to say the least. A few ppl on here would have countless meaningful debates about that one.
Funnily enough there's about 6 people on this site (I proudly include myself amongst that 6) that have turned this into fixture into a real grudge match, 6 people that have dragged everyone else into it, thats all it takes in this league it seems! ;)Quote:
