QuoteDundalk 0-2 Sligo!
Goal difference being all but wiped out too - +38 v +37
One point and one goal in it now.
Drogheda missing their captain can't help for next week's match (home v UCD)
Cabo and Athlone have taken points off Drogheda and UCD in the past two weeks; maybe one of them can do the same against Cobh...

If the results stay the same, it will be worthless if we don't beat them on Tuesday.. but tonight is going perfectly for us so far. Dundalk are capable of coming back though.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Longford beating Derry too; Wexford will be a bit worried, although Longford have a tough run-in.
Cobh 1-0 up on Cabo sets up a big night in Div 1 next week.
4-0 now.. Maguire just can't stop scoring
Tuesday is going to be some game...IF things stay as theybare
What's happening in oriel? I know Sligo are decent but....
Sligo score a third even while down to ten men!
Some title race this is becoming.
Derry equalise, and Cobh are 2-0 up now.
Premier and first devision hea ding for amazing finish
Tuesday looking to be a real humdinger.. Raging I can't be there
Relegation battle could take a cruel turn for Wexford if Longford hold on tonight. Photo finish in store there.

Not to be.
A point will do Drogs. UCD have to win and a Cobh win combined with UCD not winning will see them into the playoffs.
You've got no fans.
They couldn't hold on though.
That's Derry guaranteed Europa league next season. 😃
good comeback Candystripe. fair play.
and well done the Sligs. gave me quite a laugh to see that scoreline. and with 10 men as well.
Cork will go there on Tuesday and really fancy their chances.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
I think we are both safe but in theory pats could go past both of us.....I can't help it I'm a worrier : )
That must be gut wrenching for Longford fans. 6 points probably just too much for them to make up now.

Yes. Gut wrenching. Wouldn't like to be heading home from there tonight. At 2-1 they were dreaming of escape.
Not really as most fans accepted relegation after the Wexford defeat. That's when Tony did a runner. Left it far too late for Mathews to do anything, although he did match Tony with one win. In fairness to Mathews he has that squad a lot fitter than Cousins had. A poor squad put together by Cousins and a lack of action by our board sealed our fate.
Sligo full value for the 3-0 win, they played some great stuff, Cretaro almost made it 4-0 with a shot from the half way line in the second half. A night to forget from Dundalk's perspective, just a dreadful performance, which started after 1 minute, but that's just football, it can be so unpredictable. Dundalk missed a host of chances in the first half, but overall absolutely no excuses. Better side won.
Cork are the obvious big winners tonight and its all to play for now. Tuesday is shaping up to be an epic match now, and RTE have picked one hell of a match to broadcast live. This really is the match of the season and it will be a very tense affair, with the pressure on both sides, but Dundalk will start as favourites, then again we were 1/4 to win tonight !
Nice to see Dlk fans in the stand clapping both Dundalk off first, then Sligo. Even better to see fans queing outside the ground buying tickets for the match on Tuesday.

#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).
We've got to play Cork twice though, and Dundalk. We haven't been able to get near either of those two this season when we've played them, so I think the chances of us catching Derry or Rovers are very slim.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
