Fixtures 18th-22nd

**micls** · 18/05/2018, 7:36 PM

Pats Derry sounds a cracker, shame it's not on telly. 3-2 halftime.

Limerick beating waterford 3-1 in the RSC, Aborah sent off for a reportedly awful tackle.

2 nil City at Turners Cross.

1 nil Dundalk at Dalymount.

If results stay as they are for FT there is a gap really starting between the top two and the chasing pack. Wouldnt totally rule out Waterford etting back in to the game with the late 1st half goal giving them a lifeline even with 10 men, is the stretched or small squad starting to catch up on them/ Be some result for Limerick. The Pats Derry game could still go either way. Hopefully Dundalk will push on and close out the game which hasnt always been the best trait this season. Cork will probably add to that scoreline second half.

I'm sure people know by now but all the games are on skorlive.com

3 nil in Turners Cross. Cummins

4-2 Limerick

**micls** · 18/05/2018, 8:20 PM

4 nil now. Garry Buckley. City haven't really gotten out of 1st gear, but haven't had to. 100% home record safe for another few weeks

**Nesta99** · 18/05/2018, 8:23 PM

Bohs dangerous on the break. Dundalk need a 2nd or it will be a nervy ending. Dundalk have missed a couple of good chances. Apart from that its reasonably well controlled by Dundalk so far. The tempo is being varied from slowing the game at some points over a free kick or corner and then taking them short and upping the pace.

4-3 in Waterford. 17 goals in 3 of the games tonight.

**CorribsideSteve** · 18/05/2018, 8:51 PM

What a bonanza of goals this evening! Big wins for Limerick, who had scored 2 goals in 4 games before tonight, and Pats, who are really motoring now.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 18/05/2018, 9:11 PM

Unreal result, and very badly needed.

**MattB11** · 18/05/2018, 9:13 PM

Deserved win for cobh, harps creativity is ziltch without McCourt

**pineapple stu** · 18/05/2018, 9:26 PM

Athlone have improved it seems. Needed two injury time goals against ten men (because of injury) to seal the win. Didn't think I'd say this, but they'll points off people if they keep playing like that

It certainly was. Derrys first goal was the result of a howler from the Pats defence. Then we go straight down and equalise from the re-start (lovely finish from Jake Keegan) Derry go ahead again with the help of a deflection, then Pats get two on the stroke of half time, the first a penalty which looked a bit soft to me, though I'd have to see it again, thought Keegan may have been backing into the keeper. Two lovely finishes from Pats in the second half, Thomas Byrne and especially Darragh Markey (watch out for that one on Soccer Republic.) All in all great result, and some lovely stuff played. Happy days in Inchicore.

One team played football in Finn Park tonight. Finn Harps might as well have stayed at home and given the points to Cobh.

We've stolen points in a number of games this year, but we could be there to next week against Cobh and not look like scoring.

Some mad scorelines there tonight. That Limerick result puts even more pressure on Lyttle now.

For sure, but it also puts pressure on Stephen Bradley as the gap between the 6th & 9th has tightened. A Sligo win tomorrow would take them to only 4 points off Shamrock Rovers

**Charlie Darwin** · 19/05/2018, 1:08 AM

Waterford and Derry both losing gives Rovers a great chance to get back in touch with the team chasing the top four. So naturally Sligo will win 2-0.

Was at the Pats-Derry game tonight and two very decent sides. Loads of young players trying to play football on both sides. It's going to be a real scrap for those positions outside Cork and Dundalk at the top.

A Solid performance and a deserved win for us tonight against Bohs i thought.
Hobans early goal settled us but Bohs niggled away for a while end of the 1st half and some of the 2nd without much end product.Shields cleared off the line late 1st half from Dinny? and Watts had a decent 1on1 that Rogers batted away early 2nd half,but apart from those chances, Bohs were held off at arms length by a determined Dundalk side.

If ever a player and a performance deserved a goal - Sean Hoare -nods home with 10 to go,a cross from Massey to make sure the points were heading north to OP.

Decent game and decent crowd in for it.
