Opportunity for Rovers to lay the Hoodoo and keep the league alive or the opportunity to head into the Dundalk match looking at an 8 point deficit if we lose and then start planning for 2020.
Shels v Drogs is a big match as is Bray Longford.
Cabo need a win in Athlone to stay in touch after a great start.
Bohs missing 6 first team players, under 19's and second string mostly getting a run out , other than Buckey, Levingson Devanney Mandriou and Talbot.
If Rovers don't win this there must be a hex.
Hopefully 11 v 11 for the whole game.
Not sure about hoodoo, games always tight and weird and wonderful world of “Irish refs” often playing a major part !
Hopefully tonight the players are the ones that decide the result. Bohs definitely wreaked - especially at the back, so need a derby special performance to get anything. Would take a point now.
your reserves and 19's should have won in Dundalk if it wasnt for the ref so im travelling in hope rather than belief.
Only first teamer "reportedly" out is McEneff and he is a big loss but i assume Watts is available again after missing the Derry match.
As we're now going three weeks without a league match, a Derry-Cliftonville friendly has been arranged for tonight as well.
Recent signing from Inverness, Darren McCauley, will be playing. Can't play in the league until next month anyway.
Also have an Austrian defender over on trial.
Quite a funky match poster designed for the game too.

Bohs vs Shamrock Rovers is live on Eir Sport 1 incase anyone wasn't aware
Dundalk approached Derry to bring forward the game from the 5th of July to this weekend. It was a Derry home game and would’ve suited Dundalk to get a fixture this weekend and you would have thought it would suit Derry who has no home game for weeks but Derry declined because this friendly was arranged. I would’ve thought getting a league fixture played was more important.
In ****ing believable. 2 penos so far to bohs.
Did rovers forget to send a cheque to the refs Christmas dinner fund.
At least we have still 11 but I wouldn't bet for how long
Poor from Bolger. You wouldn't see sloppy play like that in junior football.
Very soft booking for grace. Ref lining him up
Rovers are desperate. They just can't help themselves giving away soft penalties as if it were Christmas.
Talbot is dodgy tonight.
Shels 1 Drogheda 1 at HT. Awful wet conditions but Drogheda much the more composed side and they equalise on the stroke of HT through a Sean Brennan thumper. Shels very sloppy aside from good moves for the goal and a missed one on one
Entertaining derby game. Rovers are their own worst enemy, the way they tense up in these games is almost ridiculous at this stage. The young Bohs lads just seem to thrive on it. No doubt about the two penos either. Rovers have had a few decent chances but fluffing the finish is just another symptom of how constipated they seem to be.
8 minutes added on. Poor from Rovers. Positive from Bohs. How did they not score a few mins ago. Somehow the ball stayed out.
Cobh win 2-1... Announce that Stephen Henderson has stepped down as manager. Strange.
Rovers are such a weak and naive team that it's almost comical. They can't handle the intensity of derby matches. Is it game over on the title if we win in Tallaght next week? I'll take nothing for granted but I can't envisage them catching up if that happens.
