That's a useful point, and it will still all boil down to the two head to heads v Haros, which I expect we will get something out of. Play off very much within reach now
Just noticed that Drogs are wearing their home kit with sky blue sleeves today against UCD's away kit which also has sky blue sleeves.
Meanwhile stupid kit changes have been forced this season when Pats play at home to Bohs and home/away against Dundak over the supposed issue of white sleeves on both teams jerseys. The mind continues to boggle with LOI refs!

Started both halves strong but dropped the levels and ultimately we could have won or could have lost. All in all another point on the board.
Daragh Markey the best player on the pitch.
Happy out with that. Not the worst game of ball ever. Also good that Lonergan managed to talk the ref into rescinding the red card at the end. Not the ref's finest hour to send a guy off for two yellows and then realise he hadn't booked him.
Harps at home next is a huge game in the race to lose the playoff final. Last time we played then, we went into the game seven points behind; now we're a point ahead, but haven't won at home all season
I'm far from sure we will lose the play off final Stu, admittedly if its Galway, I think we are done, but Galway have own their play off chances two seasons running before the final, and could easily do it again, which would leave Waterford, Treaty, Longford as the likely beneficiaries, and I'd well fancy our chances against any of them.
Waterford seem to have copped onto themselves this season - would you be confident against them?
Treaty or Longford - yeah, that wouldn't be bad, though you're relying on Galway screwing up again. It'd be funny if they messed up again, but...
Worse, both Pats (mostly white top) and Dundalk (all red) played in changed strip for the league game in Richmond Park in mid July!
Actually come to think of it for the previous game in oriel park, Pats also wore their same white top, while Dundalk wore Amber / Black stripes.
There was also a time from around 2009 onwards when refs wouldn't allow Bohs to wear black shorts in oriel park, they changed to white, which looked cool actually, but that seems to have been dropped, same for Derry when visiting if they play first kit, so there is no logic in any of these changes 10 years or more later.

#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).
It would be funny for sure if Galway blew it again, full time, paying big money etc.. Re Waterford, I wouldn't be confident, but many a false dawn there, one swallow doesn't make a summer and all that. Lets see how they finish out the season. Longford are muck and Treaty workmanlike at best. Long way to go either way
Wexford will beat the lot of them
Just to make it make even less sense, Pats have been allowed to wear an all white goalkeeper jersey even when they wear the home jersey, including in that game in Oriel with saw Dundalk change to the black/orange due to a supposed white on white sleeve clash
