The next few weeks will be interesting to view in terms of who finishes where.
Another Rovers loss and a pats win could mean Pat's have it in their own hands to actually go on and win the league (my maths is woejus).
The European spots look likely to go to the final day judging by the shuffling around mid table at the moment.
If Dundalk lose to Longford... Then I don't know what happens. But the lack of coverage in the media over their club dissolving in front of our eyes is hard to fathom.
People have got out of the habit of going to matches. Some might never be back.Quote:

I think this is a very good point and we could see a longer term impact on attendances due to that break in pattern.Quote:

My old man is terrified of going to the games. He didn't enjoy the Southend stand as people around him didn't wear masks and generally sat where they wanted. He was happy having watched the Dundalk game from the Mark Farren Stand and will watch tonight's game from there. He said once the Brandywell is at full capacity he'll be watching from home. My uncle who hasn't missed a game in years hasn't been back since the pandemic started.Quote:

Cheers. Will have a small bet on Waterford ´not to lose´ then. But have they ever got a decent result in Tallaght?Quote:

Dont think Pats are strong enough to take the league this year but a shamrock slip up tonight would make things interesting.
Just in case u are betting I was suggesting u bet on waterford to win
Yeah I went with Waterford win or draw, Bohemians to win, Bray to win heavilly and Ireland to beat Portugal (at darts)
Extremely attacking line-up from us tonight, should make for a good game hopefully.
Just looked at the Harps team. Constant battle for us against teams with Superior Budgets.
Having an absolute howler at the back here but largely been the better side on the balance of play. One of those games where the "next goal is massive" cliche makes sense.
Two goals in 45 seconds is always fun!
Colm Whelan now one goal off our top ten senior scorers list after just a season and a half.
Indeed ! Thought we’d recovered pretty well after losing the early goal, so to concede again is a real kick in the arse. Massive job now to try and rescuer something in the second half.Quote:

Not sure why Fenlon keeps going on about a 2nd penalty for Sligo for. Mahon is offside from the free. We're not playing that badly but the two goals were killers. Looked like a foul in the build up to the 2nd on Lewis.
Drogs 3-0 bohs h/tQuote:

Drogs well and truly beating my docket tonight, brilliant score
A Joe Thomson rocket and McGinley losing it and battering a few Derry players
Ya love to see it
Liam Kerrigan completely unplayable tonight.
If he can play as well against Waterford next week, we might just have a chance
Timewasting that led to Harps taking the lead, fair enough! Well done to Derry levelling up in injury timeQuote:
