Games weekend 3rd October

I would ay some of the gusts this evenng were as bad if not worse than Eowyn south side of Dundalk. Quietened now but if there had been a game in Oriel it would have been ridiculous in a windswept open ground like Oriel.

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.

Fancy us to get something off Cobh tbh. If Dundalk can't wrap it up with a run in of Longford, UCD and Athlone then they don't deserve it

Have to make sure the self proclaimed best fan in the league appreciate it - all part of the plan!

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.

Dundalk fairly limping towards the finish line. Next season could be a horror show.

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.

Seemingly there is investment incoming, if we get promoted, we shall see.

Won't get 25 points next season.

I'd love nothing more than for Dundalk to bottle it at this stage, but they'll probably get over the line

Cork are on 23 at the moment, so Dundalk will really have their work cut out to even get to that total.

Will you be able to go fulltime?

100%, last night shows how strong the PD currently is, Dundalk's only hope is another club implodes.

Aren't they already full time?

I think most on here are assuming should Dundalk go up, that this current squad will also be going to the PD.

Most know if that would happen, it would 100% result in a relegation, and it seems clear even with the current direction the club is on, they know 6-7 (min) new players of a decent PD standard would be required to stay in the division.

GK is one that will be new, Cheerie is now 42, Minogue has been dropped (injury is a cover) and has lost confidence, also 6 who started last night were teenagers, one was 16 at start of the season, they would be eaten alive in PD.

Its fairly obvious most positions all over the line up will need replaced.
