Limerick away? That's when you might bridge the gap, hopefully so anyway

Good chance for Cork to close the gap on Dundalk with them not playing this weekend. We look to be without Robbie Williams, Stephen Folan, Shane Duggan and Jason Hughes are suspended and Ian Turner can't play against Cork.

How is the pitch holding up after last nights rugby? There were biblical downpours in Cork, dunno how Limerick fared.

Was lashing down her yesterday morning but has been fine since. From what I heard the pitch was grand after last night.

good to hear it, we've already had one game down there moved due to the pitch being torn up by Rugby, and it sounds like were bringing a decent crowd down tomorrow, most of whom wouldn't bother for a midweek game.

**Longfordian** · 20/09/2014, 12:51 PM

Cobh are without six players for tonight's game. In normal circumstances we could give them a hammering but everyone knows how we handle pressure..

Forrester's goal from last night. Well done that lino

**Longfordian** · 20/09/2014, 10:27 PM

Not as comfortable as it should have been but we got there in the end. I think they scored from their only two attempts on target and one of those was a keeper's clearance that hit Rocks and rebounded in. Peter Hynes picked an opportune time to make his first major contribution of the season. Three to go.

Saw some pictures of it after the rugby and by all accounts you couldn't tell there'd been a match on it. Not sure if that says more about the groundsman at Thomond or the quality of Italian rugby.

couldnt believe it tonight hynes scored

I remember a few weeks back, Cawley said Pats would win the FAI Cup and Bohemians would be dark horses for the cup even though they were to play each other.

Should mail that to Frank Lampard, English FA, and FIFA....how it should be done and how refs(assistant) in LoI are just pure top notch!

Certainly hope Galway get promotion this year. A team, a city, and a ground that needs Premier football. While they weren't overly fantastic last night, they're definitely steadily improving. Harps were just downright awful though. 3 games in a week really took it out of some players, while the fringe players given a run out aren't up to much.

You can't really blame the Harps players for letting their focus on league games diminish, all about the Cup for the 4 teams left in it

Limerick and Cork 0-0 at HT. Sound like a fairly dull game, but Dundalk fans must be having palpitations. Keeping the lead at above 2 points before last day looking more likely.

Not really. Don't care how cork do until we have to face them. Our destiny is in our own hands. Next game is UCD away and that will tricky considering they are fighting for their lives.

Cork have the easier run in. They play so many teams with nothing to play for. I would expect them to win all their games before they gave us.

Ye have to play the bottom three, UCD, Athlone and Bray in the run in. Ye can stroll it.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 21/09/2014, 6:09 PM

Cork in front, ten minutes to play.

I was wondering when the "your team are definitely going to win it" "no, your team are definitely going to win it!" would start. Was great craic last year.
