Good few Devo out chants from the Bray fans here in Ferrycarrig. 1-1 at halftime.
Big win for Waterford playing half the game with 10 men against Athlone….

Bray cannot progress under Devo, time for him to move on, dinosaur football
Jamie McGonigle there was a great piece on him in the Irish Sun today he and Ruaidrhi Higgins were teammates at Coleraine and even then McGonigle showed his class!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
He might be there quick enough

Cork just scored 3 goals in 3 minutes against Treaty!
Waterford struggled to a 1 0 win v Athlone. Athlone had the better chances in first half so when Taylor was sent off for 2 yellows just before half time things were not looking good.
Athlone struck the crossbar in 2nd half but soon after Phoenix Patterson and Louis Britton combined for a nice goal from Britton. Waterford managed the rest of game well for a 2nd win in a row.
Our 4-1 win against Longford on Friday flattered us somewhat. Not so today. Treaty are poor. I've seen them twice and they were two of the worst performances I've seen this season. Granted I wasn't at Bray for the 6-0.
First half was relatively even but we had a goal disallowed early on for what looks like a nothing foul in the build up and had a really good spell just before half time. Slow start to the second half before making a double change bringing in Bargary and Murphy for Doona and 17 year old Mark O'Mahony.
We immediately raised our game and it was very quickly over. The first goal was perhaps a little foruitous, a combination of a lucky bounce and poor goalkeeping allowed Keating to score but once it went in Treatys heads dropped and we took advantage.
This Cork City team is a lot of fun, it helps that they keep winning. All eyes are on the game in Galway at the end of the month.
Longer video below, looks like a few objects were thrown at Devlin too

Bray instructed Wexford not to let in a bus full of Bray fans into the ground and they got in anyway. Not even mad aul' Denis O'Connor could top this crazy stuff
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Handy win for us today - was really surprised at what a poor crowd travelled from Limerick, I'd have thought a bank holiday 5pm KO would have been ideal for them
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Pats may still finish ahead of Dundalk, but even though they lost loads of players I still thought they had a more settled squad to us. That said I think Clancy is overrated, did a ok to good job at Drogs, but not sure he is a top 3 manager, he might prove me wrong and push on but that was a dreadful score to lose at home by on Friday.

He did a really fantastic job at Drogheda. Turned them from a near amateur outfit to a solid mid-table premier team. Found plenty of talent and were always picking up points here and there. Really hard to think of anyone else that can say the same. Maybe the moving to a club with more expectations doesnt suit his talents though, I dont know, but his record at Drogheda was pretty impressive.
The problem in this league is because it is somewhat shallow in the number of teams, there are not a lot of managers with positive LOI experience, while also the league isnt really able to attract talent from the outside. Hypothetically, if Pats (or any team) were to look for a manager now, who could they get with manager experience, Vinny Perth ? Same for Rovers... there is no obvious canidate to go and get. Clancy and O'Donnell was rare that there was two managers primed to join bigger clubs. So they would probably then need to give the role to an inexperienced manager.
