Just stopped in Port Laoise for a break on the way to Bray. The UCD first team are waiting for their bus driver to finish his driving break before they can continue to Cobh. Apparently this is his second journey of the day. Kick off delayed until at least 8.30.

Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
Good game at the Brandywell. Think we've been the better team, but an awful mistake cost us for the goal. Terrible decision for the Pats disallowed goal too. No way was it a high boot, and it's not like he kicked it out of the keepers hands.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
The Brandywell looks very dark on telly. Are the floodlights crap or what's the story?
Have the Brandywell floodlights broken down? That's extremely dark.
We sold them our old ones 😝Originally Posted by monkey9
Drogheda United in this together
The pitch has moved 10 yards towards far stand (no dog track) and the lights weren't realigned correctly - the ones behind the stand can't cover that area now as roof of stand blocking them.
I think it was a case of the referee wishing to be the centre of attention (and he succeeded).
Theres a prize for bringing the most fans you know
I think that trumps our embarrassing story!
Truly a fantastic league
Athlone lead. UCD kick off. Not sure which is weirder.
Cracker by Derry there
Ah f&&ok. We've had enough of the ball to get something out of this but seem to have run out of ideas now. Two good finishes by Derry, but both the result of mistakes.
Very disappointing.g
Edit
Yesssss. Come on !!

And now the floodlights are gone in Galway.
Counting Derry, that's 4 of the 20 clubs that have had floodlights this season. After the league asked all clubs to look into their lights.
A sign of First Division clubs in particular starting to crack financially? Or just a coincidence?
Game back on in Galway. The floodlight isn't fixed; they're just ignoring that it's not working...
Finished 0-0 in Galway. Wouldn’t have predicted no goals in that one I must say but a draw down there isn’t a bad result. Better than drawing with Athlone anyway..

Athlone are class
Four nil in Bray. First half was like a training session. Second half Bray stepped it up but gave up after three goals in five minutes. Barry McNamee scored a very nice placed finish from a good bit out but Sadliers second was a peach. 25 yards out, straight over the keepers head into the roof of the net.
I wasn’t at our game against them last weekend but having seen the highlights it should have been at least 8 or 9-1. Maybe they’ve improved in the last week though.

Looking like a good night's work for UCD. 2-0 up in Cobh - where we've an awful record - going into injury time, and none of the others in the top five won.
So 3 points clear, with a huge game in Drogheda next week
Waterford bossed us all night, second half in particular was brutal from us. We had two decent chances, a couple of minutes before and again after their first goal, but nothing after that. Bringing on U-19 lads is a sign of how little depth there is in the squad, and we look really clueless when we go behind.
How much longer will Waterford have to stay within touching distance of the top before they're acknowledged as challengers?
As for us, looks like a scrap with Bohs and Sligo over who gets the play-off.
