Games Weekend Friday 15th to Monday 18th April

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.

DFC were just dreadful last night, I've watched every game this season and that's as poor as its been, the other was the 0-1 loss to Drogs. Benson injured, and for some reason SOD had Hoban and McMillan on the bench meant we would be up against it right from the start, turned out to be a complete mis-match of talent, MF totally dominated by Rovers.

We are 5th on merit but the season won't be defined by a loss to Rovers, I expected nothing last night, but more our cup of tea will be good chance to try and get 2 wins on the trot at home to Shels and Drogs next 2 weeks.

That said we hardly even tried last night, Rovers wouldn't have been flattered with 2 or 3-0, anyway only one more trip there this season, the days of dominating in Tallaght seems a long way away now, think last win was June 2019, but what a brilliant result that was a late 1-0 win scored by Gannon, really put us in pole position to go on and win that seasons league.

Rovers have options all over the park and will be hard to stop for 3 in a row.

Wasn't in Waterford yesterday but very happy with the result. The draw with Bray feels like a real missed opportunity, but we didn't really deserve to win it. We were poor throughout and made what felt like a million unforced errors with our passing. The first division title seems like a three horse race now between City, Galway and Longford.
Super excited for the game in Cobh on Friday. Should be a huge crowd down from the city for it, our first real trip to Cobh since 2008. We drew both games down there that season I think.

Is it really that long El Pietro since Cobh and Cork met in the league?

First time with crowds. They played last year.
