Seems a bit of a backlash against Cork from the Dublin soccer community, this is probably better than the patronising stuff that was going on at the start of the season toward them from the same quarter; how great Cork were to get big crowds out to a league of Ireland game etc. This of course was good for the game here as the top players could express their skills better down there rather than at an empty Richmond Park and Belfield. However if it looks like Cork could challenge for the title things seem to change.
Also I am glad that all UCD fans are well-behaved and have proper middle class manner when they go to a league of Ireland game.
ps Saw something on twitter that suggests that there was armed guards down at the Waterford v Shels game, this can't be true?
Town v Wexford is off, waterlogged pitch. Must have been a lot of rain last night it normally holds up well these days.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
I agree we will not win the league I never thought we would but some people got a little carried away during the rovers game singing were gona win the league ha bit ridiculous.. had a great start to the season but that's all it is a start and maybe if we had more depth to the squad we could sustain a challenge but with the injuries we have to influential players like rafter and morrisey it was bound to catch up with us.. 2 tough away games in the last 2 weeks have been a bit of a reality check but some winnable games against Derry bray limerick and athlone coming up should see us back on track in the race for a European spot we have to aim for this year. Also not great to hear racist chanting from our fans no place for it
Finn Harps, despite being completely and utterly awful of late, are back up to fourth. Strange really.

Seriously, excusing those kind of chants and then making a series of what you think are clever remarks just makes you look like a total cretin.
So you're a racist now City Rebel

Limerick,don't bet on that. As a lifelong Drogheda fan I think we're certs for the relegation places.
In the local paper this week Horgan has slaughtered Gavin Brennan.
He's right to do so,as his two red cards this season,both deserved,have let the team down big time.
However it should have been done privately and left at that.
As a new manager he needs the dressing room behind him,and this won't help him achieve that.
We might just about win a relegation play off it I wouldn't bet on that right now.
I fear we're on a slippery slope and the brakes are not working.

1-1 in Tallaght this afternoon, Sean O'Connor with the opener for Shams B, then Galway had Stephen Walsh sent off, apparently for an elbow on O'Connor 2 mins later. Jake Keegan equalised early in second half.
O'Connor was playing for the Bs? Madness Ted.
