Both, stu, both.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

That's way OTT to be fair. Most were well ****ed. It's not as if they ran over to our section taunting us.
Bradley is a joke but maybe learning, it was the first time I've ever seen him make a tactical change to positively change things for Rovers.
We played v well in first half and deserved a point but Sligo and Limerick's wins makes things look very dodgy again.
Probably 2 from Galway, Sligo and Harps to join Drogs but we play at Bohs next, if we were to win up there again they'd be starting to look over their shoulders.
Well, that was brutal. Again, our dreadful defending leads to a hammering against Dundalk. Granted, we've got four points off Dundalk this year, better than expected. Though that's eight goals conceded in the last two games.
Dundalk were good, playing like they really should be. They've such great quality.
Ah well, we've three weeks off now to regroup. Need to work hard to secure third place, it's all very tight.
Derry 0-4 Dundalk. 14 points the gap now, although we've a game in hand. We haven't been great since the two lads left, but still should have enough to get over the line. 3 points tomorrow is crucial really
Dundalk are in the league cup final the weekend of the Cork game so that will be moved to midweek somewhere down the line.
Cork have the league won and a couple of defeats isn't going to change that. If it was only 7 or 8 points I'd be confident of pushing them close but 14 points with a game in hand and only 8 games left for Cork and 7 for us is too much. It would take a collapse that has never been seen before for Cork to lose the league.
bye, enjoy the 1st division
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
With the the fai cup every two weeks, that cork v dlk match will probably be moved to October.
Anyway I've no idea why any cork fan should be in any state of panic, they can lose at least 3 more games and still win it comfortably.
Dundalk probably have runners up spot sorted it's all about the margins now, see you next year etc.

#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).
Jesus, Sean must be some saint if he can judge people to be scumbags based on running onto a field for a few seconds. I'd hate to hear what he calls his enemies.
Anyway, good win. Didn't really see what happened with Shaw and Ludden but if he deliberately shoved him into a wall he deserves a ban and owes Ludden a huge apology.
Maybe slightly harsh, but it's certainly moronic behaviour. I don't think it should be so causally dismissed as innocent.
For comparison, pitch invasion is a criminal offence in the north. There's been prosecutions and lifetime bans fired out.
And regardless of all that, it gives the FAI another excuse to fine clubs.
I know how you feel. When the media are using terms like "champions-elect", it makes fans nervous, as we know there is no such thing and nothing can be taken for granted in football. It reminds me of the 2015 season. We were so far ahead, not as much as Cork now though, but our form started to falter. Richie Towell grabbed an equaliser in Tallaght to seal the title.
With so many teams fighting for their lives this season, it will not be easy picking up wins. But 14 points and a game is a huge advantage. Even if Corks form collapses, I still expect them to fall over the line.
I think the only real mover this weekend in the title run is that the winning margin by Cork will be significantly reduced.
They may have to wait a little longer, but they only need 8 more points from 8 games, assuming we win all of ours.
What do they need to be worried about?

Our next 2 league games are Dundalk away and Rovers at home, we could find ourselves back in the relegation zone with 5 games to go, far from safe just yet
4-0 was harsh on Harps on Friday night, it was only 1-0 in the 85th minute and they missed a sitter, we then went up and got the second and their heads dropped followed by the sending off and then 2 goals in injury time.
Sligo winning was a kick in the teeth, we would have been 5 clear of them with a game in hand had Cork done their job, we could have relaxed a bit with that lead.
Here on a technicality.
