Premier Division
Friday 3rd
Waterford v Drogheda 19:45
Derry v Sligo 19:45
First Division
Friday 3rd (All 19:45)
Athlone v Dundalk
Cobh v Bray
Treaty v Longford
Wexford v UCD
So both Premier abd first Division titles could be wrapped up Friday if Sligo take a point in Derry and cobh drop points to Bray with Dundalk beating Athlone.
On balance i can see it happen
Big game in Waterford also.
Can Longford win their last 3 to scrape into the playoffs ........next match is Cobh who will possibly have nothing to play for and then away to Athlone.....
If so it's 3 must wins for Longford. Treaty v Wexford the final day. You need them to draw and not win their penultimate game each. It could be goal difference that kills Longford in the playoff run. So it's probably too big an ask, but we can dream
Could the game in Derry be postponed? There's a orange weather warning for the Northwest. Derry dosent seem to be getting the storm as bad but our fans and players would need to travel there and back in the middle of a orange warning, which will probably be factored in.
That will be pretty dangerous, flying debris everywhere
So like a regular game at the Brandywell then? 😉Quote:

Council have closed their outdoor sporting facilities and parks for tomorrow and Saturday day. No mention of the Brandywell specifically, and no word from the club.Quote:

With a pending Storm Amy and various weather warnings around the country, what is the official procedure for fixtures with a 19.45 or 20.00 kick-off times?
Any referees around to comment!
Seems only one pitch inspection (at Treaty) so far for this evening.Quote:

Waterford vs Drogheda now too.
Wouldn't be surprised if Cobh's also moved - winds only getting stronger here in Kerry, so can only assume likewise next door.
Cork match still on pitch is ok apparantly and cobh are on astro so that will prob go ahead i would have thought.
All this orange warning stuff would drive you mad just encourages people to cancel things to cover their asses.
Galway is pretty bad at the minute, I'm surprised it's not being upgraded to a red warning tbh
East coast generally doesn’t get the worst of the weather
Nah it’s never too bad tbh. The wind whips us in Tallaght on a regular basis but that’s the worst of it.Quote:

1 nil at HT in Athlone is too close still lol. Shels fans would have to agree that ye cant assume promotion until the whistle has blown!
We'll do it next week against by beating Harps
If Cobh beat Longford, and Harps get anything from that game at all it'll make things very interesting going into the final day.Quote:

Dundalk did not deserve to win the game tonight v Athlone, end of.
Incredible loss of form and confidence over last 3 games really, granted can win it next week at home v FH, but just think its falling over the line stuff, then again not there yet, but to be 6 clear with 3 left to play now only 4, talk about shooting yourself in foot. Anyway.
100% agree, last 2 away games were abs shocking performances, Longford 3-1 and tonight 1-1, we deserved nothing more either.Quote:

I wouldn't keep more than 2 or 3 them - I think most DFC fans appreciate that and absolutely agree this current team is going right back down.Quote:
