On the other hand Shamrock Rovers supporters may have witnessed a comprehensive 3-0 win over Cork and compare it with last weeks 2-5 defeat to Dundalk.

The playing style of Dundalk is widely acknowledged as more fluent and creative and this may unduly influence some peoples opinion; although it is a very different issue from which team is likely to gather enough points to win the league.

it is probable that the league race will go right to the wire, and head-to-head results, how far the respective teams progress in Europe and their ability to deal with it, strength in depth of the squads, the willingness and abilty of the managers to rotate players, and dollops of luck are likely to all play a significant part.
Would 100% agree with that based on what I have seen of both. Dundalk far more impressive (style wise) but Cork resilient and expert at getting results. difficult to call who will finish top but both excellent and a fair bit ahead of the pack.
