Ya true Rory i think its a big ask to be fair to beat the 2 of them. That Drogs team are scrapping for their lives at the moment. By the way anybody know the story with Morrison?

Bohs wont be relegated no matter what, they'll be let slip through the net.
As for shams, that result and the manner in which it was won is a little bit worrying for the league, its results like that push teams on to dominate.

Youve got to hand it to Drogs, they're absolutely sh1te to watch but they keep battling away,
if you were a betting man at this stage of the season you'd probably put your money on them to finish ahead of us.
I dont bet so i think we can still get ahead of Drogs at best,
we are going to be in the play offs,

Yep, it's defo the play-offs for us now.
So ......... how does it work??
I'm told it's 3rd last against 2nd last in a one off game, 3rd last having home advantage.
The loser of that game play winner of the 2nd and 3rd placed First Division clubs in a home and away decider. Is this formula correct?

Is it written down anywhere or are the FAI waiting to see who 'qualifies' before they decide the format?

Better but still not perfect view of the penalty 2 mins in, kinda looks a bit like he kicked out at him on the ground as he tried to get up!

bhs

Just saw this for the first time, and tbh this is shocking. Re: The Peno
1) Barrett handballed before he was fouled.
2) He dived.
3) No one kicked him as he tried to get up ffs. Get over yourself trying to justify the decision.
Also, the choice editing of the corner from the view that would have proven us right is hilarious.

I know we were bad in the second half, but we were robbed. You get a lead against a team who are now arguably champions elect only for it to be robbed by a referee who is appalling at best.

massive crowd fair play to ye. thought the the free kick that led to your goal was dodgey though. i felt awful sorry for jason byrne, he must have thought he was in croke park for a minute. what happened with the linesman btw, was he hit with a bottle of coke?

Looks like bray cant buy a win at the moment so even a draw against pats are we are beginning to look too far ahead of them. The playoffs gives us 2 bites of the cherry and that will see us stay up. I see us finishing 3rd bottom and winning the cup.

Out in Pram Springs it was more likely to be a bag of coke.

I think if we all look closely you can see John Delaney under the pitch dragging Peers along with a magnet heading the ball into his own net. And deflecting Cretaro's shot straight at Mannus at one-on-one in the first half. It was CLEARLY going in otherwise.
