Must win game for Rovers tonight or the fans will be calling for change but we havent done well against Drogs lately so ill take a last minute deflected OG and get ready for the visit of Derry next week.
Cork looked woeful against Bohs so will be interesting to see tonight are bohs better then people thought or are Cork as bad as they looked.
Bohs Dundalk is a big match even this early , Dundalk wont want to go 5 points behind a likely Euro place chalenger.
Same kind of story for Shels and PAts a win for either and the seaon is off and running, for the loser its a bad start.

Another must win game for Caulfield . Bray Kerry will be interesting i expect Bray to win but maybe Cobh are better than we think hence the win in Kerry. Harps need to get soemthing in Athlone and i wouldnt put it past them, Longford who Athlone beat look very poor.

four of the five games in Premier Division sold out is prety mad stuff but great to see

Agree with the above. I wonder if we had restricted capacity at grounds and hung out the sold out signs years back, could it have generated additional interest, play on the fomo tendencies of the Irish sporting public. Post pandemic surge/new season helps but need to take advantage eg. like Bohs have and incrementally increase capacity.

Wrong thread Dan!

I appreciate the Waterford result in any case ^^

Wrong thread Dan!

Apologies as a relatively newbie. I would have thought having match predictions would fall under this weekends games?

[pineapple stu]

There's a whole tournament to it here (that's the week 2 link)

I see actually you missed week 1, but plenty of time to catch up.

When you see the posts in that thread, you'll realise why I presumed you had just posted in the wrong thread

Dan is actually from the future and is only posting again in an attempt to save his timeline.

After glitching the matrix by publishing correct scores before a ball was kicked, inadvertently making billionaires out of a load of auld fellas on the internet.

If its a question, yeah predictions could fall under a weekends games thread but when there is a predictions thread.....there's often a bit of chat in this thread on why results could go a particular way in fairness.

[pineapple stu]

We are top of the league!

Not often I can get that in, so by God I'll do it now!

[SkStu]

short lived hope you enjoyed it

Appears to have been one-way traffic for long spells of the first half at the Carlisle Grounds, with Omorehiomwan heading in from a corner, and Wayne Guthrie having to make a number of saves soon afterwards. Still, Kerry improved slightly just before HT, and as long as it remains 1-0, there will be some grounds for optimism.

Harps ahead from a ridiculous penalty consession from Athlone,Harps second best for a good bit of it tbh but we'll take it....

[culloty82]

Bray doubled their lead after the break, but Leo Gaxha replies straightaway to become Kerry's first-ever goalscorer!

[Calcio Jack]

And Lee Grace proves he’s an even bigger idiot than Lopes by getting a stupid red card

[Calcio Jack]

And now Dan Cleary has upped the ante by getting two yellows in two mins and off …. Utter idiots….. big win for Derry as we’ll be missing 2 if not 3 c/halves next Friday… Drogs equalise ….and every chance of a Drogs winner…. Disgraceful performance from Rovers ; Bradley would want to sort this …. Kenny also needs to understand you can’t miss three sitters as he did tonight if he wants to prosper at Rovers

[CorribsideSteve]

Dundalk taking on water and certainly looking like they need some Hull repair tonght. I'll get my coat.

[CorribsideSteve]

Great to see thee large crowds at all the games. Even UCD have more than 1,000 in there tonight. I wonder how long it can last.

harps are the worst team in the country
