Tuesday 20th (all 19:45)
Longford v Finn Harps
Drogheda v Shamrock Rovers
Derry v Dundalk
St Pats v Waterford
Bohemians v Sligo
Every game Tuesday has a sub plot beyond the 3 points.
Chance for Harps to put a big gap between themselves and Longford
Rovers need to find some convincing form in a place that doesnt suit their game
Huge game for both Derry and Dundalk who really need to kick start their seasons.
Pats Waterford , Can Pats win and show title credentials or will a Waterford side that have been a bit unlucky so far show soemth
Bohs need a result to keep in touch (with the derby up next)but for Sligo a win would bit like PAts show they have what it takes.
Although all the talk is of Fillipo leaving DFC youd wonder after an improved performance last night will Bill persuade him to stay for the next fixtures Derry, Longford, Drogs , Waterford 4 wins and the world looks very different

True enough there is a striker in form and that's what surprised me during the game. 60 seconds to take a long throw in and almost playing for the the draw straight from the off. Sometimes needs must, I get that, but think Ollie the Oracle got tactics wrong for that game especially given Harps form and squad this season.

Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Looking forward to tonight. Really think Drogheda have a good chance of getting something from this game. Narrow pitch won't suit Shams and we've been very solid at the back so far this season. They will need to improve massively from the weekend if they want to head home with 3 points.
Let's just hope that the 2020 Champions Shamrock Rovers will be able to raise their game to be competitive against newly promoted Drogheda eh.
Really miss the away trip to Drogheda, a quick trip up the road, few pints in the windmill and into the cowshed to shout on the Hoops. I see Deegan has continued to go round kicking people on the pitch to justify his position in a team.
Enjoy the game.
Exciting stuff at Dayler.
Hope I dont regret this but I want to see a replay of that Lafferty effort - gave a chuckle live!
Thats more like it from Dundalk!!
*and that is more like Dundalk.......

Turgid crap from Rovers so far
Another Abibi special in the Brandywell I hear?
Dundalk's player scouting has been about as bizarre as any LoI club ever I think.
Comfortable for us. Outside of the Derry game we're making a bit of a habit of not killing games off when we have the chance to though which I hope doesn't start biting us more often than it already has.
Darragh Burns is looking a real prospect as well.
Well what can ye say, no luck at the moment. Keeper looked to fluff the equaliser (see on replay in due course). Zahibo is a big lad but wont be winning any sprints. Chris Shield was absolutely immense, practically getting on the end of his own throw in at the end. Cant agree that a draw was a fair result but desperation really is kicking in and becoming a monkey on the back. Seen enough though that a decent manager can do something.
Drogs 0-1 Rovers 94min what can ya do .......
Turgid but still dug out the win - overall deserved the win but need to cut out the errors and speed up our play as playing at pedestrian pace too much of the time
Rovers deserved it on the night but Drogs worked hard and if they had held on we could have few complaints.
Thats two injury time winners in a row, big extra 4 points
Rovers really struggling with creativity and there's a huge Byrne and McEneff shaped hole in the centre of the park, but not playing well and winning ugly is always a good sign for a side.
Poor game in Longford,Harps had the the better chances but didnt well play well,Longford offered very little for being the home team both keepers had very little to do tbf,but 11 points after 6 games with 4 of them away is a solid return for us,2 tough home games coming up for us though.....
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
