Weekend Fixtures 23-25 October

**DCSIL** · 23/10/2020, 5:51 PM

After Europe, back to the league.

Derry v Shelbourne Tonight, Shels might sneak into Fifth Spot, do they want it? Derry could do with another home win.

Saturday Sligo v Cork, Both teams still got an outside chance of what they want to achieve.

Finn Harps v Bohs, Ideally a win for Harps so they can look at finishing Cork, Bohs will get Second unless something strange happens, do they grind out another result.

Sunday Waterford v Dundalk, Battle for Europe here.

Predictions, which will probably all be wrong:
Derry
Sligo
Bohs
Dundalk

No game this weekend for the covid-tardy Rovers so I can put my objective hat on.

Sligo Cork- sligo
Boez Harps-draw
Waterford dundalk - draw

All change in the first division. Drogs leapfrog Bray and lead by a point after injury time Galway winner. Exciting final day!

**Finlay Harp** · 24/10/2020, 4:23 PM

Cork miss a penalty and Sligo take the lead two minutes later. I�ll take that if it stays like it.

**Finlay Harp** · 24/10/2020, 5:25 PM

1-1 now at the Showgrounds. Damn.

**sbgawa** · 24/10/2020, 5:36 PM

Did someone put a curse on cork? If it wasnt for bad luck they wouldnt have any at all

**Finlay Harp** · 24/10/2020, 5:43 PM

2-1 Sligo.

**redarmyfaction** · 24/10/2020, 5:55 PM

Cork could be relegated tonight.

**Finlay Harp** · 24/10/2020, 5:56 PM

Doesn�t look good for Cork now. Harps need to take points from the 3 games in hand to guarantee a play off.

**ger121** · 24/10/2020, 6:55 PM

Financial issues aside. Who was the last League Champion to get relegated within a couple of seasons of winning the league? Amazing that City could be relegated.

**sbgawa** · 24/10/2020, 6:58 PM

Harps could tidybup everything with a win here tonight, cork down and rovers champions.

Probably Drogheda are the only comparable example, though they did have big financial problems, even if they weren't Shelegated.

Champions in 2007, relegation play-off in 2009 (but that was financial), recovered to league runners-up in 2012, but relegated in 2015

Dundalk were champions in 94/95 and won a play-off two seasons later

Obviously relegation hasn't been around all that long

**sbgawa** · 24/10/2020, 7:13 PM

If you didnt know who was in second place and who was second bottom youd struggle watching to figure it out. Harps with 6 corners so far

**sbgawa** · 24/10/2020, 7:20 PM

And harps deservedly go ahead just on the break

**Finlay Harp** · 24/10/2020, 7:27 PM

This could be a good night for Harps and Rovers.

**sbgawa** · 24/10/2020, 7:32 PM

Wait till we give unthe 3 points up in finn park, u might catch shels yet.

Incredible, just incredible.

Challenging for the title for years, Champions in 2017, FAI cup winners on two occasions, big European money, successful transfers to English clubs, big crowds.....

Now practically relegated.

There is no comparable fall that I can think of.

**DCSIL** · 24/10/2020, 7:42 PM

2-0 now

Get the Champagne on ice in Talla

**sbgawa** · 24/10/2020, 7:43 PM

2 nil harps.....deserve it too.

**placid casual** · 24/10/2020, 7:47 PM

Well this is easily the most enjoyable non Rovers LOI game I've seen this season.
2:0 now😂😅.
All its missing is the morons in the stand calling for Longs head, blind to the fact they're comfortably in 2nd place.

Harps continue to be our friends in the northwest.
