    Deserved win for bozos against a toothless Rovers.
    Lopes had a mare the whole game which the manager chose to ignore.
    If this boez side put in a similar effort against the rest of the league they would challenge for Europe in this distinctly average league. Instead they cannot stop looking over their shoulder at the teams below them in the table.
    And to think Rovers fans feel they are being cheated....😉

    Sounds like exactly the sort of long-term planning that has Rovers where they are now.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Yeah , feeling really cheated that the team with the lowest playing budget in the league has consistently out performed your overpaid spoofers, step forward Aaron Green!
    You will probably remember how proud your fans were when Rovers occasionally played out of their skins for the likes of Scully when you didn't have a playing budget.?
    Other than a collapse against Sligo at home, I couldn't fault the commitment.

    Strange isn't it. If you listen to the "experts", away fans need a covered stand and pristine toilets in order to travel in numbers.

    Neither of which Bray have.

    I always look forward to going to Bray away, was thinking last night on the way out, pity prob won't get a chance to visit it for a few years.

    Dundalk always take a large crowd, possibly 700 there last night, always find it a very friendly set up, great location for that hotel / pub too across the dart line.

    Enjoyable game, Bray def put it up to us for 20 mins in the second half, always happy to get an away win, 12th league win a row, but Sligo away on Monday won't be an easy game.

    Our form isn't great at the moment though, confidence has dipped after the awful performance in Cyprus.

    It was a good night for Waterford with our first league win in a while after 3 defeats in a row and Bohs beating Rovers giving us a 4 point lead over them. I watched Rovers v Bohs on tv. Bohs denied a blatant penalty in first half when Lopes brought down Kelly. After Rovers good run lately the pressure is back on Bradley again after 2 big defeats in a row.

    Is it true that Bohs got 4 points for last nights win?

    Maybe points don't apply in cup finals?

    What are you on about? other than the 1st team the club is doing fine both on and off the pitch and all because of long term planning. Granted getting a new manager in to generate hope optimism and season tickets sales is not Long term planning but is it a worse idea than sticking with our present manager. It is a no brainer IMO

    Lowest budget in the league, playing great stuff and stuffing you lot 3 times is a good season.

    How many cup matches have you lost this year? Drogheda last Friday and 3 against Bohs was it?

    Absolutely spineless performance from us yesterday, I can put up with playing badly and I can put up with many other things a team can do in a match but the lack of effort or any sort of passion last night was just disgusting to see.

    Can blame the manager to an extent but the players have to shoulder a lot of the blame for yesterday's **** show

    Well they're in financial trouble again, so that's an issue. Their performances to date under Gerrard haven't been great; they've struggled to get by very moderate European opposition. They've withdrawn from the underage leagues, I think, which is an idiotic move. I'm not sure what they have going for them tbh apart from a bit of bog-standard new manager optimism.

    And in general, Rangers are a notoriously badly-run club. Not ones to emulate.

    When your centre half scores a ridiculous volley.

    Great match at St. Colman's Park, three great goals from play. Conor davis getting his first League goal in his first fill league debut. Equalising with a goal-line toepoke and Daire O'Connor set up the shot.
    Cobh U19s Gordon Walker's 35 yarder deceived Conor Kearns enough for him to lose his footing in muddy goal-mouth. The pitch looked in great knick. The sweeping misty rain added to the spectacle.

    After a delay, UCD captain Gary O'Neill dispatched his peno with aplomb. Substitute Yoyo Mahdy had stormed into the Cobh box but was brought down before he could shoot.

    UCD Fans on the road in fine voice as usual.

    Enjoyable game alright,
    Pen looked harsh to me from an unbiased viewpoint all told UCD would have deserved their equaliser anyway and are the best footballing side in the division by a mile. Ramblers second goal was bizarre alright. College deserve to go up.

    You are around a long time white horse, are you telling me you can't see how not having basic facilities for fans is detrimental for all clubs and the league?

    Cobhs draw almost opens up the First Division race again. Could be twists there yet.

    UCD last three games: Drogheda, Harps, Longford
    Harps last three games: Galway, UCD, Cabinteely

    If Drogheda can manage to beat UCD and Harps beat Galway, it'll set up a huge tie in Belfield a week later. I'd fancy one of Drogheda or Longford to beat UCD.

    Yeah, this is exactly what I didn't want. A win against Harps - and we've beaten them twice so far - will do it. UCD v Drogheda last time in the Bowl wasn't a contest, but we did lose up there.

    But in general we're still playing well, and Davis has scored in both his starts. I think we'll beat Drogheda, and that should do it.

    But would rather have the extra two points in the bag.
