Probably exchange offs off Betfair or some such.

Through injuries and suspension we'll have a very young central defensive partnership v Sligo. Possibly worth looking at the -1 or -2 odds.

Yeah I saw that on yeer site and I was going to suggest something similar unless ye boss midfield to the extent we don't make any chances.

Derry fans heading to DLK tomorrow night, rumour that the main bar prob open for all away fans. The club tried this since we got promoted for certain away fans, and seems to work well with the Derry visits. I always think its a shame this cant be offered to some of the other big clubs, but at least away fans going to the stand do have the option for both bars.

Anyway, another home draw for us tomorrow I think, should be a good game.

Pats, Rovers and Waterford treble this weekend for me.

Good man, Sam. We all knew which one you meant. The other one is, as always, a banker draw.

Has it not always been open for us? Great oul spot. I mind back in 2009 we were queued outside some time before 5 o'clock waiting for it to open, stayed after the match until last orders then got service bus back to Belfast. Some craic.
Raining over on the east coast today, aye?

We've Rory Patterson back in the team, he's been on fire, along with your good friend Michael Rafter. Should be an interesting enough match, with a wee bit of added spice with Stephen Kenny there now.
Liked the stat from the Dundalk site: there hasn't been a scoreless draw between the sides at Oriel for 21 years, way back in September 1992. Can't see it being scoreless tonight either.

There's my random bet for the evening as unlikely as it may be.

No rain so far - but looking likely. A wet and slick pitch would make for a good spectacle as it suits a passing team.

Always enjoy the visiting Derry support - and the craic and banter in the Lilywhite Lounge is a big part of that

I expect Rafter will start with Griffin on the bench?

Any decent odds on 2.5 + goals should be checked out!

**adamd164** · 12/04/2013, 1:19 PM

Heavy rain forecast for tomorrow but not today, and Sligo and Cobh's pitches hold up well, so all games should be fine this weekend.

Was the bar we were allowed use the main bar? I take it it was as it was packed at half time. We got to go in the back door from the away section at half time to the surprise of a lot of Dundalk fans. Pints were cheap too which satisfied plenty of our lads.

Yes that's the main bar. There is also another bar upstairs.
The club have started to allow away fans in to the bar when there is a low risk of trouble.

Prolly because it's been a while since Lims fans have been spotted in OP

€3.60 a pint is great deal.

Typical, first home game I can't make this season and Rovers batter in three in the first half. I give up, I'm going to start supporting Manchester United like everybody else.
