Massive match for both Pats and Rovers on Friday and Ditto with Derry having two massive matches.
We could be level on points with Derry after the weekend or the league could be over.....Come on Duffer!!!
Dundalk will be hoping to move 4 clear of Pats with a win if we turn the form books upside down and actually win a match.
UCD will be hopeful of getting something off Drogs more so than Harps away to Bohs you'd imagine.
For the O.C.D amongst us i cant remember ever having so many games accross both divisions all kicking off at 19:45......according to RTE anyway but i dont get why Rovers are playing at 19:45 so that could be a mistake by RTE.
I think UCD will get points off Drogheda.
Devine will be out to impress in his first home game coupled with the fact he hates Harps. I?m not overly optimistic at this stage.
A couple of weeks ago I would of really fancied Harps of taking 3 points home from Dalymount but with Devine in at bohs many of his new squad will be looking to impress the new manager & stake a claim for a new contract. Whilst Harps (exclding a few 10-15 min spells) have been largely lackluster in the last few months and many of the squad just don't seem bothered about the club precarious league position
I'm not expecting much of a new manager bounce for Devine. Most of those players have been a disgrace this season and I don't think they'll have enough professional pride to up their games. We'll be better off without most of them anyway. Harps might be in a similar position but we're so bad defensively they'll be plenty of chances for you.
Expecting a 5-5 scoreline so.Quote:

So defo advantage Pats in that regard.
S o'D after win v Harps:

?We?re down a lot of bodies. Greg Sloggett will be out for the season I would suspect. I was just saying to (assistant) Patrick (Cregg), we beat Rovers 1-0 in June and seven of our outfield 10 are unavailable that started that game. Our whole midfield three who started against Rovers and our whole front three and Mark Connolly obviously were unavailable tonight.
2 home games left now for Dundalk(v Sligo & Bohs) and 1 away(Last game of the season v Derry) It's really going to be tough going to get 3rd place and the auto Euro position so shout outs for a few favours ;)
If we beat Pats for you will you beat Derry for us?Quote:

Genuinely cant see you dropping any more points on the run in. Not only are you winning week in, week out you're not conceding goals either. Our chance is the Tallaght game to try & slow you down, other than that think the rest are gimme's.Quote:

Got sent off for the third (or is it fourth?) time this season, all for calling the lino a See You Next Tuesday.
So I presume this is a cumulative thing.
didnt AM have a poor disciplinary record as a player too? I think I remember him with us avin a poor record on the discipline front!Quote:

Any danger of games getting called off? Would be a curse at this stage of the season
Ollie Horgan had a good chuckle at that I'd sayQuote:

Well, well, well, Shamrock Rovers! The atmosphere is genuinely electric though.
Galway losing at home to Longford, who I think they play again in the playoffs next week?
Caulfield on very shaky ground if they don't go up you'd have thought
Yeah, Longford next. I haven't gone to a game for ages, a few 1st Div games here or there over the last few years, but there would definitely be more appeal if they got promoted. They have been brutal since the summer. Can't see them being promoted, but you never know. I didn't like Caulfield's 'Wimbledon 1990, Plough Lane' style of football at Cork, and it's been a worse version of it at Galway. Rovers equalize.
We've beaten them twice already this season. Caulfield is doing a terrible job with the resources they have.Quote:

Are Rovers favourites for the league yet?
Advantage Dundalk now. Good turnaround from Rovers. VAR will never be in the LOI but it would surely have ruled out their 2nd goal for the foul by Burke. Even still, Rovers are in a different gear since the 2nd half started and look like scoring more now.
Harps twitter at it again, or are Bohs fans singing in Poor Taste?
Still no goals for us or Shels, Rovers 3-1 up

Dundalk have to go to Derry the last day of the season, so plenty to play for yetQuote:

UCD score and Harps concede at the same time
Next week's game even huger now
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
And Sligo equalise in Dundalk
Lots of twists tonight. Can't remember an evening where all five games mattered at one end or another, and I think eight of the teams have been leading at one stage
That would be two wins at the Brandywell this season for Shels.
Harps equalise
Harps equalise and Sligo take the lead.
So advantage Pat's even as they go 4-1 and a man down
Mental evening's games
Sligo lead in Dundalk. I talke it all back lol. Whirldwind evening.
