The conspiracy theory that Foot.ie was closed down to save Bohs supporters having to discuss the goal of the season last weekend and congratulate Rovers winning the title tonight is no more.
What a weekend ahead with every single match its own cup final for both teams with the exception of Cork who have an actual one to play for places in.
It would be a brave man to call it but i thnk Waterford are favs for 9th with Galway showing a bit of form.
I watched the Bray UCD match last night and i dont think the 9th place side has a lot to worry about , might be another 3 nil like last year.
Ill be at the Rovers match obviously but will be a fascinating Saturday
Drogheda/Bohs should be some clash. Not hard to see a draw there, and also a draw at Tolka, which I think I'm right in saying would see Pats get fourth. Shels safe in third, so they may not have the same intentsity that you'd normally expect. If Pats were playing better I'd fancy us to win, but we're a hard team to have confidence in these days. Poor season all around, and if we do get europe we can consider ourselves fortunate.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Premier League title wrapped up. Congratulations to Shamrock Rovers! Cracking free kick.
3 way battle coming up on Saturday to avoid the playoff.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined.
First Division 2014: 7 first teams and a B team.
Opportunity lost for new clubs to join GLITW.
Congrats to Rovers. I thought that by playing all through last winter that they would fade away this season but fair play to them to be going for the double.
The pressure is on Waterford on Saturday, they have to win so will really have to go for it. A draw will be enough for us.
Surprised they picked Drogs / Bohs for TV. Chance it just ends up as both teams being mid table.
Shams are front page of the Independent this morning. That's another nice little marker of national recognition for our League. Well done to Rovers though,5 in 6 is remarkable in the modern era. We gave it a good go last night but in truth Rovers could have won 3 or 4 nil. Burke missed a number of chancers you'd expect him to bury. Dylan Watts waited all year to score a goal, and then does that. Cracking free kick. Good crowd in Tallaght too, 6 or 7K by the looks of it. All down to the Waterford game now.
sligo have got to fancy themselves now. rovers surely put out a 3rd string with ECL and Fai cup final coming up over the next week?
We are something like 0 from 18 under Russell in Tallaght.Originally Posted by Jd2793

The more things change the more they stay the same.
Champions again ole ole.😄☘ï¸.
Rovers team on Saturday will be mostly reserve players I'd hope, as we have 2 massive games coming up next week.
Personally hope (a) Galway stay up and (b) Drogs get 4th.

Bit late now, but I read this last night. Good to see the League being spoken about on that island east of us
We have two huge games Thursday evening and Sunday so really it should be something like##
McGinty
Barrett, Kavanagh, C O sullivan, Vassenin, Cal Honohan
J O Sullivan, Matt Britton, Max Kovelevski, Clarke
John McGovern
It would be crazy to have any of what you would call first teamers play Saturday in a meaningless match for us.
Look at Honohan coming off injured last night , that could happen Saturday to Burke or Gaffney, Pico anyone.

if sligo cant get a result against a team like that then god help them
Unfortunately I can't see us getting anything other than a point against Galway, they are stubborn and we are toothless! if anything I think Galway will win the match, but Matt Lawlor has been decent with his tactical awareness, if we're lucky..
I think Sligo will fancy themselves in Tallaght now that Shams won't need to bother with the game.
I watched the play-off matches and I wasn't feeling threatened by what I saw from all four sides, the quality really isn't very good in the first division of late, all decent teams with very little flair or technique.
