Games weekend 18th/21st June

**DCSIL** · 18/06/2021, 9:19 PM

Going to miss Patching.

**pineapple stu** · 18/06/2021, 9:19 PM

UCD going south disturbingly - 11 goals against and three defeats in the last four matches.

Still hanging onto second somehow - but now 11 points off Shels and only 3 ahead of seventh.

The First Division is bizarre this year

**D24Saint** · 18/06/2021, 9:22 PM

Saints be praised , what a time to be alive.That was a cracking win. It was unbelievable to get back into Richmond after 470 days. Hopefully we are nearly at the end of the covid nightmare.

Harps need a reset and get back to the way they were playing 1st round of games, I thought the break would help. It's like Ollie has panicked when top end of the table and needed back in to the relegation battle to fit his mantra. The club that puts any sort run together will pull away, climb the table. PS mentions the 1st Division being bizzare, the Premier Division is too and this season it actually could be the 'worst standard ever' with no side really seizing things. Youd expect Rovers to do so, Sligo could with Buckley's experience, Pats are sticking around and after winning pre season. Dundalk could even get to 4th and if not making our annual trip to the cup final, 4th could be enough for Europe, and it would be the example of how the league is in an odd phase...Dundalk player really helping Derry for example.

Georgie Kelly scoring a couple hatricks in a season, like wtf!?

It was a nibble not a bite

**Finlay Harp** · 18/06/2021, 11:12 PM

We were pish tonight

Waterford are comfortably the worst team in the league but if the new owner brings in a few players Longford could be in big trouble as the two are cut adrift now. Mondays game is a huge one between them now. The new owner hardly bought a club to see them relegated so I expect signings. Longford need to sign someone who can score goals or change their pattern of play to get more opportunities.

Brilliant to be back.

Will forever hold a grudge against West Ham if them releasing Alfie Lewis means we won't be able to hold onto him. He's been getting better and better and was fantastic last night.

That's what I'd be worried about too. Where the goals would come from was my biggest concern from the start of the season. Having said that if we don't have the money to bring in better forwards then I'd rather see us go down than get ourselves into financial difficulty. We'd regroup and come back again eventually.

How many hatricks has GK Nesta this season? Great signing for Bohs.

**Nesta99** · 19/06/2021, 8:21 PM

Thinks its jus the 2, last night and v Dundalk. He has turned out to be a good signing for Bohs but Im not sure there was a whole lot to indicate that he was genuinely up to being a main striker at one of the bigger clubs. Run in the team, build some confidence so it just goes to show. Kelly and Patching have 16 goals between them and Dundalk 20 in total and both cast aside by Dundalk really. Can understand why with Kelly - fair thinking Pats fans?

Very surprised how things have proceeded tbh. In fairness he is a determined individual and that can be seen in his team. The team this season has a great cohesion it�s only going to a game you totally realise it.

**ToberonaTornado** · 20/06/2021, 4:38 AM

Bit of a bizzare match at OP on Friday. Could have finished 8-2 or 2-4 with chances all over the place for both sides.
Dundalk at least played a bit less shi* than in previous weeks,so a positive at last

Louth derby next this Monday.If ever VP wanted or needed a result ........

**vinnie** · 21/06/2021, 7:40 PM

Anyone know who decides how many fans are allowed at a game, looking at Bohs-Rovers, Bohs could easily accommodate 400-500 safely, no use to Rovers but 100 is ridiculous.
