Three goals in injury time in the RSC; mad stuff. 2-1 Waterford at the break.

0-0 in the top of the table clash in Tolka.

Shels take the lead in Tolka. Getting tight at the top again, and we travel to Galway next week

**pineapple stu** · 04/05/2018, 8:01 PM

Injury for Shels; they bring on Dave Mulcahy at the back.

I thought he'd retired. 40 now

**SeanDrog** · 04/05/2018, 8:13 PM

Harps 1-1 drogs

**pineapple stu** · 04/05/2018, 8:19 PM

Bray beating Derry. So as it stands, their only points almost half way through the season will have been against Derry, Dundalk and Rovers

**SeanDrog** · 04/05/2018, 8:23 PM

Harps 2-1 drogs

Crazy but true.

**pineapple stu** · 04/05/2018, 8:36 PM

Injury time equaliser in Tolka. Entire UCD team celebrating at the Shels fans in the Lego. Bottles thrown. All a bit mad on both sides

**pineapple stu** · 04/05/2018, 8:38 PM

And just to spice it up, Kelly sent off in the 94th for diving. Awful call; should have been a penalty. More bottles thrown, and Shels fans on the tunnel roof

The shels fans in Utd Park last week had an air of aggression about them tbh so I’m not surprised to hear it.

Drogs lost , second lost of the season. Most of our games in series two are away so I wouldn’t be surprised to see us slowly drift off the top but in saying that we didn’t expect to go up this year and are delighted with the foundations of a great side that Clancy has put together. If we can add some experienced heads I think we will be a wicked side. Loving this season, the 1st div is exciting this year.

Limerick lose three nil at home to Derry. A few days later Bray beat them 2-1 at home. Can no longer rely on Bray's troubles to save us.

Rovers beat us comfortably, 3 nil. Then lost 2 nil tonight to Pats, who lost 5 nil to Dundalk, who we beat 1 nil. All in a week.

Greatest League in the World.

Harps were shocking in the first half drogs could of had 2 or 3, McCourt came on at HT and changed the game completely setting up both goals before going back off again injured late on

**nigel-harps1954** · 04/05/2018, 10:18 PM

Paddy McCourts 25 minutes on the park tonight were as good a performance you'll see this season. Superb stuff from him.

A much improved second half performance from Harps. Might just be starting to click a bit.

an amazing game in Waterford tonight! MNS should just show the highlights of the match on Monday!

Stephen O'Donnell goes down injured on 45.The poor lad is stretchered off and Dundalk lose all concentration and Akinade punishes us for it! - TWICE - ! Murray pulls one back for Dundalk from a free kick a minute later!

2nd half is frantic but with both sides playing intense end to end stylish attacking football wth no quarter being asked or given.
Titanic battle and thought we deserved a draw.The RSC a cauldron of noise and a brilliant atmosphere.
Cracking match.Thoroughly enjoyed it despite us coming out the wrong side of the 2-1.

Hope the O'Donnell injury isn't as bad as it looked.

Hmm, amazing is not how I would describe it. Gary Rogers had another brain fart and did exactly what he did in Alkmaar and gifted Waterford the first goal. The defence went to sleep two minutes later and it was two nil. Murray scored a brilliant free kick to get us back in it and we dominated the second half but like a lot of games this season we didn’t make it count and missed a couple of sitters. Duffy was booked for a “dive” in the box that was a blatant foul but overall we had plenty of chances to win and deserved a draw.
Fair play to Waterford though, they did enough to get the win. Hery had a great game.

**nigel-harps1954** · 04/05/2018, 11:27 PM

The ball from McCourt, the header from Cowan. Textbook stuff.

Over-excited camera man is a bonus.

Not an amazing result but i thought it was a game, a brilliant game.

Dundalk obv at sea for both goals that followed what looked a bad injury to the captain of the team.Dundalk switched off and got smashed for doing that.Yes,Rogers totally at fault for the opener,Cleary for the 2nd.
But still a brilliant game of ball that i enjoyed

......i.e - IMO
And 100% agree that Hery was motm.

Outstanding game for a neutral - if not quite for all supporters of the losing team!

Waterford were super, especially Hery, Keegan and Aborah in midfield.

Dundalk had enough chances to win several games, but simply were not clinical enough to take them
