    With the European qualified Teams having a double week it a chance for any of them to with two wins shoot up the table.
    Rovers mustnt fall into the trap of underestimating UCD next Friday,
    Bohs v Derry is obviously a huge game , hard to know the best result from a Rovers perspective..a draw i suppose.
    Drogheda away to Pats is an interesting one, Drogs have about the minimum number of points they deserve but at some point the hard luck stories have to turn to wins and Pats despite a win in Cork habe looked a bit flakey.


    Waterford v Cobh is a chance for Cobh to make an effort to avoid the first division being a procession for the top two.

    Couldnt have worked out a better schedule for Rovers if they had fixed it themselves - UCD and defencless St Pats, while something has to give between the other sides of the to 4. If Dundalk were to take 6 points it would be some serious turn to our season. 3 is realistic v Cork in Oriel, but its hard to know what Derry will turn up albeit it at home, United Park is not an easy away day but Drogheda would have been full value for 3 points against the nouveau riche on Friday, so ye never know!

    Nice set of fixtures for us alright but then we just had Sligo, Derry and Bohs so that's how it goes. Would expect us to be top by the end of this round but it's a mad league. Great entertainment so far. The best team I've seen are Sligo and there they are sitting in 7th with the leagues top scorer by a good margin. I know it's only 3 points to 4th place for them but form seems so erratic. I'm not sure I could get the season predictions close to correct now after a full series of games.
    21 leagues and 25 cups.

    We've got to make it 3 wins in a row or this recent turn of form will look like a bit of a false dawn, we were dreadful on Friday but performances before that defo much improved

    I expect another defeat, even if Bray are no great shakes at the moment

    Didn't realise until now the 4 euro teams in action Monday, makes sense of course to bring forward the July original date to free that weekend up for euro prep.

    We have an incredible record away to Derry last 10 years, very few defeats but somehow I can see this running out on Monday, but first things first, need 3 points v Cork City on Fri.

    The league is so mad this year.
    Dundalk appear to be over achieving on points to performance, ditto bohs, Sligo and Drogs are under achieving points wise compared to performance.
    Cork and UCD are where they should be but prob a bit of hope for UCD.
    Shels and PAts about where they should be with Shels a more solid version, but basically if anyone can go on a run they will look like title contenders.

    Dundalk and Shels have the most potential imo to make a run, Dundalk because they are Dundalk and Shels becasue Boyd will be back soon and they might have a goal in them with him up front chalenging OG for top scorer

    If Dundalk do put a run together it will be both due to players returning from injury allowing some squad rotation, and that as the season progresses the team will play with more and more cohesion as if a proper preseason was had with all players signed well before season KO. It has been said, locally at least, that if we keep in touch with European chasers, we will improve as the season goes on and kick on then. I feel that we are just too reliant on a very small number of key players so a lot of luck will determine how the season goes. That said, Martin has had a good bit of game time, wasnt scoring, but now has bagged a few - he badly needed them and even his body language he looks more like he expects to score now than expecting to shank a chance. Kelly was a big loss but how its helped the like of O'Kane's development - seeing both play with all that pace out wide cant come too soon. They're the main ones for me anyway. Couple of potential summer signings ive heard mentioned, if they happen, i'd be confident of staying top 4. We need the money from a couple of European rounds, seeded, to continue to build a young squad, but we could do without the games!!

    Five players who were in last week's matchday squad for Kerry are absent this week.

    Wonder how many are injuries or getting let go, admittedly I haven't read any Kerry match preview if there is one.

    Let's not get carried away just yet, but Kelliher and Gleeson have put us 2-0 up away to Athlone!

    Pierrot pulls one back, but still ahead at the break.

    Three were taken off at half-time last week.

    Derry one up in Dalymount.
    Horton's sending off has rocked us, lucky to be only one down.

    Kerry have a young keeper O'Sullivan making his debut and he seems like a massive upgrade on that GAA player they had before

    Wasn't expecting to be watching this one on LOITV but it's been decent viewing.
