Pats and Sligo guarantee safety with 1 point. Massive motivation for Pats especially - Don't lose and they stay up. For Galway it's going to come down to needing to beat Dundalk while hoping Derry beat Pats or the remote unlikleyhood that Drogs beat Sligo.
Third bottom could stay up with the carry on in brayQuote:

We are getting what we deserve for sacking a manager who got us promoted in his first year, and kept us up for 2 seasonQuote:

Doesn't matter how shyte any of your players are rule 1.01 from the relegation battle book at any level of football is not to sell ANY of your shyte players to relegation rivals because inconsistent muck like Faherty are suddenly motivated to pull 3 important goals out of nowhere for their next club. That's not all Keegan's fault your board would have had to sanction that idiotic decision.Quote:

The decision by Galway to release him, could be the differance in which club stays up.Quote:

He wasn’t doing the job for us. Maybe he needed a change of scene and good luck to him, lot of time for him but when Ayunga was with us for that brief time, I thought we had the better of the 2 deals. Can’t legislate for Ayunga breaking his leg 4 games in, could have just as easily been Vinny picking up a season-ending injury and then everyone would be on Lyttle’s case for a daft transfer. That’s football.
Well if we had stuck with Ayunga and ye had kept Flaherty we would be way worse off
Vinny, McCabe and Sharkey are 3 excellent signings Lyttle made in the window.
One defeat in 11 since we last played Derry. At that stage if you told me that we could go to Drogheda last game knowing a point would make us safe Id have bitten your hand off.
Yep and one less long distance with a crumbling wreck of a ground to visit.Quote:

Not even sure it would have been. We were brutal. Just brutal.Quote:

I thought we'd use it to our advantage in the second half, but we just didn't do anything. Dreadful mistake from Cole for the third too.
We've more than likely blown any chance of third place now.
Sorry to see Harps go, but we all expected it really. Huge weekend coming up now again. Going to be very difficult for Galway, wouldn't be so sure we'll be Pat's.
Or a friendly club with committed supporters who are trying to get their ground finished.Quote:

Fully expect Pat's and Sligo to get what they need next week
Absolutely amatuerish stuff from Finn Harps calling off the game on Friday right before kickoff when teams and a handful of Drogs fans had already travelled. Considering the state of the pitch and the weather forecast that game was never going to be played.Quote:
