    If we can keep Kelly on loan as suggested - though I don't think it's happening - the Cup would be interesting. I think there's a big gap between the two divisions now, but with Bray and Limerick broke, Pat's in freefall, Derry haemorrhaging goals and Bohs seemingly about to lose their best player, it'd be interesting to see how we'd compare against a lower-half side.
    Cabo have beaten almost all of the sides above them I think, oddly enough. That’s Galway, Harps and Drogs as direct rivals we’ve beaten in our last four with last week’s annoying loss to Cabo in there too. We’re picking up injuries now however and we didn’t have a big squad to start with. Could do with getting a couple in.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Genuinely thought we played well tonight. Could have won by three or four. Very good start. Bohs held on and worked hard to keep it tight. Lots of sneaky jersey pulls and lots of the dark arts. Ref let everything go, so they kept at it as they were right to do.
    Great to get the goal late when it looked like it might never come and even better than great to get a really good half hour out of Gearoid. He's been out a good while now.

    Dundalk hosed home tonight without a sweat hardly raised in anger.
    Derry are in a steep decline.Granted they have injury issues and taking in to mind the loss of Curtis also but they were terrible.
    Very poor attendance there also.
    Duffy's goal and how he played shut down the grief he was getting from a few in the ceowd.Some player,some goal.

    Backed Dundalk -1 and -2 at half time tonight. Partly cos I know what Dundalk can do. But mostly cos Derry have a soft centre that collapses once they concede.
    It's a pity to see. Ye can be so much better.

    16 year old Gavin bazuna had a super game. 1 great save and did everything tyhat was asked of him.
    Super distribution as well. Been with the academy since he was 11 or 12, some prospect

    I noticed the same thing in games against Bohs this season. It slows down the opposition and stops them working through the gears. It’s obviously coached as it is done with a subtlety so that the ref doesn’t stop play.

    Great win for Cork, if they weren’t actually a point ahead I’d say they were hanging on to the pace Dundalk were setting.

    We’re getting better and better as the season goes on. Adorjan is going to have a real impact after the break and Hoban is a goal machine. His stats are up there with Maguire’s last season.

    It was very effective and very frustrating. It was blatant at times and the ref did nothing. He was awful last night.

    Adjoran looks a good player alright.

    Was brilliant for us to be able to bring Morrissey back in last night. Good timing. He changed the game when he came on, and scored the goal. Good competition in that position now as Jimmy is playing great too.

    Cork should get a bohs like dark arts coach on board as maybe they'd be miles ahead if it wasnt for their virtuous ethic!

    Is that the goalkeeper? In fairness the keeper had not much to do all night, I can remember 1 save in the first half

    0 0 draw in front of a small crowd in Bray last night and at least half were Blues fans. Bray were decent with ex Waterford player Corey Galvin very lively for them. Waterford didn't deserve more than a point from game.

    I'm starting to wonder if Kenny Sheils has totally flipped

    His post match interviews tend to be bizarre, but excusing his players for getting needless yellow cards for indiscipline and then complaining about suspensions is setting the bar at a new level.

    Dundalk dont get bookings! In the world of Kenny Sheils maybe tackling isnt fair and every club should follow Cork's example of not challenging for a ball. As Derry fans have said on here - defend! get a defensive coach on board or would that mean not winning the right way?
