Bohs v Shels is an interesting match and Drogs if they back up the win in Tallaght by beating UCD can start looking up instaed of down.

The good weather should boast the crowds this weekend?. The live tv north Dublin derby is up against Tubridy's last Late Late with all the stars so the viewing figures could be very low. Athlone scored a great goal against Galway and played well in the game up at Lissywollen, and they have a new manager(again), so the game could be close enough.
The Late Late will only clash with the last few mins of the live match. Shouldn’t be that much of a hindrance.Originally Posted by wonder88
Always enjoy having a 'Friday off', as we're away to Sligo tomorrow. Shels-Bohs should be interesting, and will probably have Pat's - Dundalk on the tablet.
Can't see Cork scoring a repeat of the four goal they had in Tallaght, but they maybe they're finally getting their act together.
Obviously Sligo's form has been really inconsistant this year, and having picked up a few losses, it's probably their turn for a win tomorrow night. We played them earlier in the season, and I thought they were decent when they came to Brandy, and controlled the game for large periods. On paper, it should be a Derry win, but just not convinced with us still.
Rovers turn this week to suffer from awful decision as Towell given a red for a non incident in the box - Cork had a corner so aside from not being a red ; if ref deemed it to be then surely should also award a peno

Hardly nothing according to Se...
We’ll no sign of that on the replay… and as I said it had to of occurred while the ball was in play so therefore should of been a peno… just the usual weekly poor decision ( feel like I’m I’m turning into Duffer )
LOI officials are a malignancy on this league.
Rovers down to 8 players now?!
If Cork can't win this, they deserve to take our spot in the First Division next year.
Kenny only on a few mins and gets sent for two stupid yellow cards…. He’s a disgraceful pup whose attitude since he joined us has been suspect as he’s behaved like a prima Donna since day one …. Time for Bradley to sort him out ….Now Hoare sent off the ref is a joke as Hoare never touched the player and in fairness Cork commentators agree
Whos Athlone Towns new boss Wonder88? I cant keep up the soap opera down there!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
The amount of sending offs in the league is out of control. It’s like cardfest on a weekly basis.
Lopes now booked , again for nothing … and Cork one up in 86th ….. ref definitely Corks motm but they won’t care as big three points for them
Credit to the Cork commentary team for being fair minded , unbiased and entertaining

You know it's bad when even Cork fans on their forum describe it as 12 v 8
Rovers players remonstrating with linesman and ref at the end not a good look
Bad decisions are the norm - but have a look at the Pats sending off. For being caught in a headlock. Jaysus!
Lopes got his for mouthing, I would guess.
Same with Hoare too, maybe. Silly stuff. Don't think there's much to argue about for the yellows for either side in that match tonight, even if it wasn't at all a dirty game (Towell aside).
Pat's will be delighted with that win, and now only a point behind Bohs.
Shock of the night was down in Limerick, Harps winning, scoring three, and keeping a clean sheet. Didn't see that coming at all
as a city fan i can safely say ive never seen anything like that display from grant. what did kenny get his first yellow for? did lopes get a yellow for winning the ball? the game was complete carnage. rovers heads went but the ref incited a lot of that, needless cards for everyone bar towell imo
Fair play Jd2783. That was very hard to take. 11 cards in total for us and I'm not sure of any of them. Haven't seen Towells. Even outside of the cards there were frees that shouldn't have been frees. Probably the worst refereeing effort I've seen. Sean Grant has now sent 5 rovers players off in two games and only one wasn't controversial.
Aaron Bolger is such a tidy footballer. Great to see him recovered.
I need a drink.
