Wins for Derry and Bohs on Friday would leave us 13 points behind Bohs and 10 behind Derry.
With the European involvement mid season (win our first game and its 8 weeks in Europe im going to call it as over).
On the other hand 6 points for us over the weekend and the world is a wonderful place .
The joys of double game weeks.
Bohs will start as favourites against us on Friday but anything is possible in that match.
Derry Bohs on Monday will be a clash of the top two no matter what happens Friday and will be an interesting match up.

Waterford away to cobh is a big one for both clubs , and Kerry v Harps ditto, Harps need a win badly ditto KErry as people will eventually get fed up losing all the time.

"Waterford away to Cobh is a big one for both clubs "

Cobh expecting biggest attendance of the season so far, with over 500 away fans estimated to travel up from Waterford, somewhere near to 2,500 could be reached for the game in St. Colman's Park!

anyone who thinks Rovers won't be justified favourites on Friday should steer clear of the bookies

Paddy Power have Bohs at 23/10 and Rovers at evens, so they agree with you. Looks like great odds on Bohs

Galway United can set a new club record of 8 wins in a row in Wexford on Friday.

It's strange that there isn't a double set of Division 1 fixtures this weekend, or even the back match of Treaty v Waterford rearranged for Monday (I think I heard Monday 24th April for that game).

Huge game between Longford and Treaty.

Treaty need a win, a loss is unthinkable and would deem the season over.

I'd go as far as saying these next two games for Bohs are potentially season defining.
4-6 points: We're definitely in a title race and potentially favourites.
2-3 points: Probably kicks the question down the road. "Will they? Won't they?, too early to tell if it's a three horse race"
0-1 points: Revert to mean, battle for top 4

I’m glad you mentioned 4-6 there?

Kerry/Harps sold out.....

I’d make rovers slight favourites too tbh.
Bohs have been getting the results ok but, the performances have been inconsistent, playing up to ability for only twenty minute spells in each half. From what I’ve seen of rovers they’ve been dominating possession and
just not finishing enough chances, ladt game aside.

Form as we know goes out the window in the derby. Either side could be on a poor run or lower in the table and end up winning. Very hard to call this one.

Shame on you ger,5-0 bohs.

regardless of the weekend results Bohs are in the title race. But 2 wins I still don’t think ye are favourites!

And I like to think I’m an optimist

Just seen mr Harvey is tonight’s referee, be afraid, be very afraid.
How they could give that walking mistake a tv game beggars belief.probably have the equallly inept O’Neill, woman limo with him they usually come as a matching pair.
God help Devine and Bradley trying to do a job in the face of that.

Personally speaking I think Michelle O'Neill is the best lino in the league. Rare enough I see her have a bad game

She was awful last time here, it was her that disallowed Afolabi shoal ruling the ball had crossed the end line, even though she was opposite side of the pitch and three yards behind play. A few iffy out of play calls down the line too, she’s been poor any time she’s done our games. Combined with Harvey that’s bad.
