3-1 Limerick now and 2-1 Bohs. The game in Turner's Cross the only one without a goal now.
2-1 now. Point for UCD would be big with Bray and Athlone both losing.

Injury time winner for Cork, Murray celebrates in front of the Rovers fans which is a bit distasteful. Only three points in the title race now and advantage back to Pats for the European spot.
Murray with a huge goal for Cork. Run-in looking very interesting now.

Remaining games:
Dundalk - Derry (h) UCD (a), Shams (h), Athlone (a), Bray (a)
Cork - Limerick (a) Sligo (h), Drogs (h), UCD (a), Bohs (h)
Then Dundalk/Cork on the last day. Bit easier looking for Dundalk, playing the bottom three, but usual "fighting for survival" fluke chances apply.

Squeaky bum time. Dfc never do it easy.
3 points ahead. 4 including goal difference.
3 points a must against Derry
Long Live King Kenny
****ing Athlone and 90th minute equalisers again. They have eleventh, I'm full sure. We only started playing at 2-0 down, just like last week. Don't know where the points are going to come from. Limerick could have been reduced to ten for pulling Benson back by the neck - a yellow for the foul as he'd gone past the guy, but grabbing him around the neck was needlessly dangerous. Would probably have been a harsh red, but at the moment, we're getting nothing. And not helping ourselves either.
No problem with Murray doing that as one who grew up in the 70s when the likes of Robin Friday or Sid Wallace locally did that to the opposing fans plus a two fingers most times they scored think its a real pity ( albeit might be for safety) that players don't do that any more- find it even more nauseating when players don't celebrate when they score against ' their old club' bring back 70s punk attitudes and drop all the current false PC sh@t
I'm much more pi!sed off that he scored
In our defensive foursome, he's absolutely awesome, from corners he will score some, his name is Dan Murray(to the tune of the Addams family if ye don't know) place went hysterical when that went in absolutely buzzing here.. certainly makes things interesting now with dundalk losing
Yea, I remember Sid Wallace used to be at that a fair bit alright. Think some Dundalk players returned the compliment to him during an FAI cup final, if I remember correctly. Did Wallace stay for long in Ireland/league? Was it just 1 season?
League race still on. I hope Athlone can some how get off the bottom place, if only they had removed Cooke earlier. One point from two away games by Fenlon so far, but I suppose we will not see the fruits of his work until next year, in the league anyway. Had a good cup record over at Hibs.
An absolutely fantastic game in Richmond tonight, not sure how it finished 1-0 and not sure how it finished 11 v 11.
I still think Dundalk will win the league.
It's just a shame we couldn't get the 11 that started for us tonight out more often this season or else we'd be in the title race as well.
Hopefully we can keep them all fit and just maybe we could finally get our hands on the cup again.
Fahey is back fit and he's a class above, MOTM for the second game in a row,
It's a shame Dundalk decided not to play Towell tho :P
Here on a technicality.
Who said it was all over!
Pats midfield got the upper hand for the vast majority of the game. We could have nicked an undeserved point at the end.
The title race will go down to the wire. More twists and turns to come as nerves kick in.
It looked that Pats were the better team on the night and deserved the 3 points.
Dundalk just went down with a fight and that should augur well in last few game.
Robin Friday 'the greatest player you never saw' what a book that was and a superb photo on the cover, him scoring and giving the keeper the 2 fingers.
Obviously very disappointing night from our side, coupled with the impressive win by Cork the title race will certainly go on to the end, but it was always likely to, unless we were 3 points clear going into the final game, then all Cork would need would be a 16-0 win!
This was the hardest game we had in the run in but it was still disappointing to lose the 4 month unbeaten record. We can return the 6 point advantage for 4 days at least with a win over Derry on Monday, but that's going to be tougher than expected.
Ps nice touch Pats having the 'Des Denning RIP' sign up at the ground, those who may not have known, he was DFC chairman from 2000 for a few years and was in charge for FAI Cup win 2002. I was at his funeral today, they even read out a Mass card sent 'from a pats fan'
Well played lads.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XPLYiZLs5ok. Murray's goal
I missed it, but Murray does not strike me as the player to celebrate infront of his former clubs fans. Heat of the moment is the only excuse, but he shouldn't have done it. Great night for us though.
Absorbing game of football in Richo last night.Pats well deserved the win and destroyed any game plan that SK had.Two tough tackling sides & i thought the ref done well.LB got his tactics spot on.
As for the nunpty that got Dundalk another €500 fine with the flare at the end... just fcuk off and get a life you dick!!
