Series 7

Some really big "moments of truth" approaching for several teams this weekend

Pats / Rovers
&
Cork / Sligo

will be especially interesting!

Premier Division

Bohemians v Limerick FC
Cork City v Sligo Rovers
Derry City v Athlone Town
Drogheda United v Bray Wanderers
St. Patricks Athletic v Shamrock Rovers
UCD v Dundalk

First Division

Galway FC v Shelbourne
Finn Harps v Wexford Youths
Cobh Ramblers v Waterford United
Shamrock Rovers B v Longford Town

great series of games in the Premier

Couple of relatively big First Division games this weekend too. The only one that can really only be expected to go one way is Shamrock Rovers v Longford, but saying that, Rovers have a few ex-Longford players in their squad that'll be out to prove a point.

Hard to really predict what way the weekend will go.

It's a big one for us anyway. I feel that Sligo probably haven't got the points on the board that they've deserved due to not taking their chances, and generally not having enough goals in the team. We've been much more economical, however, but when you look at them team sheets it'll be hard to pick a winner. Moment of truth, indeed.

Feel Cork/Rovers will be one nil to Cork or scoreless draw. We're dead sound at the back but just can't get it over the liune at the other end.

Roddy will be under serious pressure if Derry don't beat Athlone. Hopefully we'll keep our good run of form going before Rovers visit twice next week.

You're not doing to shabby on the old predictions front!

Be far from one sided considering rovers have 3 senior players to call on, they are a very different side playing on Sundays as their recent draw with Shels showed. Saying that 1 or 2 decent players shouldn't be able to derail a squad of good players so I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't win this one.

They played against Harps on a Sunday and didn't call on any senior players.

They love Harps though. It'll be an interesting one, we have about six ex Rovers players in our squad.

Cork will have no problems against us.

But they had a Setanta match the following day as far as I remember?

Nice try.

Joking aside, I feel this will be our toughest game so far.

I like extratime.ie but it always crashes with around 5 mins to go.

Good win for us tonight.

Same as, every week.
Bohs / Lims anyone ?

Yep same here re extra time, so Pats won then !!
