1-0 in all games now. Sligo the only away team to be leading. Poor stuff from Rogers.

Gary Rogers beaten by a free kick for the second week in a row. Clearly past it.
1-0 Bohs, Dinny
What awful goalkeeping from Rogers. Dundalk should be 4 nil up. Missed Penalty. Benson potentially out for a while. Is it going to be one of those nights?
Rovers dominate the whole half and go in one down ...wouldn't rule out a comeback but it's a strange game.
Remarkably patronising commentary on Radio Foyle. They reckon Collie O'Neill will be the happier of the two managers with us 1-0 down against a relegation rival, and in general far more dismissive of UCD than you'd think healthy for a team that was eighth last season and has nine debutants on the pitch.
Reminds me of our Cup quarter final win in 2007, when Liam Coyle reckoned Derry just needed an early goal and another one after that and they'd win easily. And they lost 1-0.
(Yes, it's a long time ago; I don't listen to Radio Foyle that often!)
Cheers! This is what happens when you're in the graveyard for so long...
Half time .... Cork with the two best chances. Have to feel ripped off.
A fee cork fans disgracing their club in McDowells and the black lion.
A few arrests and seemingly a few in ambulances .
Well this is not going to plan.
Dundalk would be really good if they had a real striker. This Hoban lad isn't up to much...
I could probably say similar about Cork City tonight going on the number of reported chances missed.
That Leverock lad looks woeful.
Only caught the trackchamp stream from Dalymount tonight. Harps didn't seem to offer enough in the final third, which is worrying going forward, especially against someone deemed a relegation rival. Couple of big saves for Burke in goal too, to keep the score 1-0.
Long season ahead, but could have started a lot better. Dundalk next week should be interesting in Finn Park.

I think Liam Buckley wants his side to play better with the ball.
Will elaborate later on why we'll win the league but honestly if I was a Cork fan I'd be very frustrated by the way the go about playing. Or at least the way they did tonight.
Tonight was tight, on the balance of play we may have edged outside of the last 20 or so where we sat and were content with the 1-0, but that was aided by Cork having no plan outside of playing for set pieces. They had the better chances but they were all as a result of corners and largely in the first half. When they were forced to chase the game they looked terribly one dimensional and didn't create anything at all, nor change anything up outside of bringing more strikers on to play it long to.
Also not indicative of all Cork fans but was an absolute embarrassment that they caused trouble to the point McDowells had to close earlier. Throwing bottles about with elderly people, women and children there made the whole vibe quite sour. Hopefully the few involved get caught and dealt with.
Shocking stuff for Derry's second.
Hopefully they don't just show the goals in 5 or 6 second clips all season long. A 2 or 3 min highlight section couldn't be that difficult to fit in? Maybe they're concentrating on getting manager interviews in instead.
