All Premier games are close to call this weekend, but four away wins on Friday is certainly a possibility.
Inchicore has the most interesting game of the weekend, though I do since Pats winning run to come to an end.
It's a long trek to Cork, but Derry should have enough to pick up a win. Cork are just so hot and cold recently, so you never know. Dundalk should pick up a win if they score a goal in Shels' net and not one in their own, but OG is in great form for Shels, top goal scorer at the club this season, and will want to continue that run.

Galway down in Kerry in the First, here's hoping it's not another bloodbath.

derry should win with a bit left in the tank. we are terrible , grass pitch should help derry too.

Buyoed by their recent huge win at the Dalymount Park, Pats tonight will be all over not so great Rovers. Grass is cut, Richmond completely sold out, this one has a makings of south-west Dublin classic. 4:1 to the Saints. 5200 in attendance.

Would love to share your optimism. Last time out I thought Rovers were the better team. We are missing Redmond tonight, which is huge, and probably Mulreany as well. I’d take a draw again to be honest.

Rovers need to win to try to keep the momentum going of 3 wins in the last 4 plus we have Derry and Bohs up next after Sligo so its a chance to put a marker down.
Be interestig to see if Jack takes to the field or is the MLS thing still going on.

I wasn't sure until you mentioned that the grass had been cut but that's convinced me. Congrats on the win.

Looking forward to the game on telly, as can't get to a game this weekend. Will have to do with hurling tomorrow and Connacht semi-final on Sunday as my live games this week. As mentioned above, Shelbourne have benefited from a few OGs which I think shows how the have been putting teams under pressure by their high intensity play. Kerry need to be a bit more realistic in how they set up tonight then they were in Galway, but still expect to keep the great run going.

Yeah, we’re pulling out all the stops tonight

Jake Mulreany starts, which is good news. Still fear that Joe Redmond is a massive loss.

You should have left it long Tony, Jack Byrne might have gotten lost.

Mulraney was terrifying when he came on in Tallaght. Expecting a tough one, especially without Gaffney. Kenny doesn't fill me with confidence.

I see Treaty are set to play the three other Munster clubs in the First Division between now and next Friday, which surely must be a provincial record at least (very much plausible to have happened already with Dublin teams)?

**culloty82** · 21/04/2023, 7:39 PM

Ryan Kelliher put Kerry ahead in the 40th minute, but Galway levelled in first-half injury time.

**SPXcyan** · 21/04/2023, 7:41 PM

Ronan Coughlan with all four first half goals for Waterford, too good for this league!

**pineapple stu** · 21/04/2023, 7:44 PM

TV game is quite entertaining. A penalty (saved), a red card, Shels hitting the bar and having a goal ruled out (Nathan Sheppard faking a clip to the head to win the sympathy vote), a dramatic goalmouth scramble.

A pity Tolka looks more dilapidated every time you see it.

**MichaelCherrito** · 21/04/2023, 7:46 PM

Despite being down to ten men, it was Moylan who had the best chance of the half, failing to lob the keeper just before the interval.

We’ll have a few goalless draws this season and we’ll also have a few 4-4 draws.

**SkStu** · 21/04/2023, 7:58 PM

Shels are like cockroaches. You get an awful fright when you see them, the more you see them the uglier they are. But they’re indestructible

He might need a few more! 4-3 now. Mental game

Shels take the lead, despite being down to ten men since the 10th minute or so.

**SkStu** · 21/04/2023, 8:12 PM

Bohs are getting the run around a bit. Drogs actually look decent.

reasonably comfortable for derry, they were on the ropes a bit first 25 or so but took control after. we are in massive trouble, drogs are a lot better than us , we need ucd to lose everything from here out.
