Games Weekend Friday 15th to Monday 18th April

**joey B** · 18/04/2022, 5:59 PM

Sligo could be 3 up here at HT,missing too many players through various reasons and Connolly went off hurt early on…

**Jack B** · 18/04/2022, 6:04 PM

Pats have been awful today, getting the result was the main thing given the recent run of form but the performances are on a worryingly downward trajectory. The lack of a midfield is becoming more and more of an issue and it seemed obvious that it would even in the pff-season. Still and all, beat Harps at home on Friday and somehow we're still going to be holding 3rd spot.

The commentary were making a big deal about the foul for the penalty being outside the box, seemed in to me but I'd be more up in arms over it actually being a foul. McCormack seemed to buy it.

You’ve been listening to too much Shane Robinson. Pats were poor in the second half on Friday, but I don’t think it was due to lack of bravery.

Very poor again today against UCD. Blessed to get the three points really. Didn’t look capable of break8n* UCD down until a penalty and an own goal. We need to start playing better. Don’t know how Mark Doyle is getting so many minutes. He’s been very poor.

if clancy wants to keep his job mark doyle should be on the bench full time and mccormack should be starting.

Just talking to them and they said they figured it was outside the box watching the replay.

Them's the breaks at the bottom though

Won ugly , very ugly. Three points is all that Clancy can claim from that one. The Job was done so we move on to Friday v Harps.

First win in Carlisle grounds since 2015 when Aymen Ben Mohamed scored in 1-0 win. Our record against them normally is atrocious.

Speaking of the devil the quality of Brays stream was terrible you could barely hear the commenators and dont get me started on the camerawork!

**trevy** · 18/04/2022, 6:51 PM

Waterford have only 1 point from their last 3 home games and could be in 5th tonight and are 9 points behind leaders Cork City so not where we expected to be and a lot of fans already want a change in manager.
Today was a better performance but still no points. Great goal from Healy to put Cork 1 up early on. Phoenix Patterson scored a super goal to level it in 2nd half but a few minutes later Gilchrist headed in a corner for what proved to be the winner.

**joey B** · 18/04/2022, 7:05 PM

We were better in the second half,unlucky not to score but it’s points we need and they aren’t coming…

**2 Year Contract** · 18/04/2022, 7:41 PM

Woeful Pats performance today, mad to think 7 clubs have earned less points than Pats so far this season given the performances

**sbgawa** · 18/04/2022, 8:09 PM

Rovers full value for the 1 nil, Dundalk came for a point with Hoooooban and McMillan on the bench but i always felt it was just a matter of time before the goal came as its hard to defend for 90 minutes
Beautiful through pass from Jack which Danny was able to tuck away with his first touch
Rovers starting to look very solid at the back again and Jack was picking out some nice passes, hopefullly he is coming into form.

**Nesta99** · 18/04/2022, 8:39 PM

With injuries and schedule I think the dice was rolled to keep it tight and maybe nick a goal. Bradley, Hoban and McMillan on late was last ditch stuff. For all the ambition in the world ye have to be pragmatic and playing a much better and experienced side ye have to give to gain and hopefully thats 3 points against Shels on Friday if not 1 tonight.

Bohs, Harps, Shelbourne UCD and Drogs all playing each other so will be an interesting weekend in terms of teams putting themselves in position to look up not down as such.
Big weekend for Waterford in Division 1 playing Galway and Cork on both of whom they have already lost ground.

Well Wow, that was unexpected. Derry droping 5 points to Shels and Drogs and Rovers getting maximum 6 points against Pats and Dundalk
Some weekend for the Hoops

**Kingswood Rover** · 18/04/2022, 8:55 PM

Rovers very polished tonight, some fantastic passing and really should have won by more. Jack Byrne was class this evening. Emakaku's best off the bench performance his direct running with the ball was a joy to watch from the top of the South Stand, any chance of another couple of thousand tickets for next Friday night please.

**Finlay Harp** · 18/04/2022, 9:20 PM

It was poor today in Finn Park. I’m starting to wonder if we’ll even make the playoffs.

**SeanDrog** · 18/04/2022, 9:26 PM

A great point against the mighty Derry tonight, delighted with that, derry have a great squad and we battled hard with some great saves by Long (super keeper - shame he’s only on loan - serious talent). 6 games unbeaten for Drogs, Doherty deserves credit considering it’s basically a new squad (or as near as).

If we keep fighting for every point we should be ok this season, long way to go but so far so good.

**da bishop** · 18/04/2022, 9:37 PM

Though hardly deserved a welcome 3 points for Treaty [only 4 ex Galway started tonight]Gifted a pen at the death,battled away all game as they do ,hoofed it all day as they do too,setpiece magic as they do.As for Wexford wuda,cuda,shuda.

It's starting to look fairly grim for us alright. Had a lot of hope for us coming into the season, but it's just not happening for us. Down an awful lot of players today through injury and suspension, but even at that, we could be there until next week and not manage to score.

Referee had a good game though.

Would agree with this. I thought we played well, on the front foot, for the first 60 minutes or so. From then on it was all Derry, I'd say fitness and overall strength of Derry went a long way in taking control of that game, there's some big guys in that team.

Some good saves from Long alright especially the one in the first half. If he continues like that i won't complain about the amount of times he booted it for a throw in from kick outs.

Looked like a big crowd in too for a Monday evening.

Onwards and upwards.

**osarusan** · 18/04/2022, 9:58 PM

Robbery in the Markets Field, as Wexford were better for pretty much the whole game, and could have had more goals. Then their centre-half horrendously misjudges a punt downfield by the keeper, and Armshaw is in on goal and taken down, and we score an injury-time penalty.

Great result, but were are so limited and lacking creativity. Wexford were actually really impressive up front. Doherty and Corcoran combined really well, lots of lovely intricate passing and movement that deserved better.
