Huge weekend ahead for the European clubs.
With Rovers facing Bohs and Derry and Pats with tricky fixtures agaisnt Shels and Dundalk there is a chance Rovers could be 10 to 12 points clear, equaly it could be bck quite tight again.
With Europe on the Horizon can Rovers step up and give themselves the leed that they will undoubtedly need with a fixture congested second half ahead......hopefully.
Another Louth Derby for Drogs to unluckily lose or will their form continue and take the 3 points?
Division 1...
Longford are the only team to have beaten us this season. In fact in their 4 games against us and Waterford they have taken 5 points and only conceded twice. Their problems are at the other end of the pitch where Kerry have only scored fewer, so although when they play more defensively against the top 2 they perform well when they're more open against the rest of the Division they're caught out.
Waterford are obviously more likely to drop points than us but I'd expect them to win down in Cobh.
Harps v Wexford could be the most interesting game of the weekend with a view to pushing on for the playoffs in 2nd half of the season.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Football Special is better than Strawberries.

Harps v Wexford is a big game for our season,if we lose we’ll almost certainly be 7 points outside the playoffs,be difficult to keep people interested with that gap and especially Waterford away the week after where we won’t be taking points….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Do not fancy us at all Friday. Would take a point now. Feels like Rovers have our number in recent games.
The eight match unbeaten run especially feels like a very long time ago nowOriginally Posted by ger121
I was thinking that alright. Good times…
Freddie Draper got his 5th booking in the last game but isn't listed as suspended, did the rules change after the break?
The accumulated bookings usually reset halfway through the season

Should see some bumper crowds weather permitting, as the fans have had break from their live football!
Obvious sell out at Bohs v Shams.
Local Derby games at both St. Pats/Shels & Drogs/Dundalk should have near sell-outs.
Derry will have the customary full-house 3700 figure!
In the First Div., expect good attendances for the games at Athlone, Cobh & Galway!
Au contraire, I'd wager this'll be Harps lowest attendance of the season. Summer football has never been good to us and combined with kids finishing school today, weather forecast isn't great, and we'll probably dip below 1,000 for the first time this season.
999 will attend so!
Longford Town 50/1 tonight! Around 18s this morning and drifting all day, never seen us such a price before. Expect Galway to win at home but given how we set up I'm hoping it shouldn't be as one sided as the betting suggests. Town +3 at 21/20 looks the value
Drogheda dundalk a full house.
Rovers ( courtesy of Richie Towell ) blow a 2-0 lead ; would have taken it before ko . Had a great chance to go 3-0 and should have … we move on to Monday
Stupid dropped points tonight against a limited bohs. Dissapointing. Russell has to be gone from sligo surely.
Limited!!! , you were obviously drunk or high. It was all Bohs in the FH and then Shambolics scored 2 and deservedly so, with faster higher tempo, but you sat back and invited Bohs on, and they came, faster, tougher and better than you expected. Deserved draw from a hard fighting Bohs who pushed for a winner
Actually first half Rovers had 70% possession but created little and Bohs had two chances one saved ( easily) and one shot wide.
Second half we easily went 2 up , then if Gaffney had passed to Byrne instead of shooting ; most likely we’d of gone 3-0. Bohs counterattacked and made it 2-1 - fine finish. But a lucky deflection off Lopes created it.
Equaliser was a result of Towell stupidly giving the ball away in midfield- after that Pohls had one decent save to make as both sides went for it , during that period we had a number of half chances- last 7 mins we had Bohs pinned back and had 3/4 corners as we finished on the front foot and pushed for a winner.
Finally we’ll done Neil Doyle ; the only decent ref in the league
That was brilliant, Duff completely threw the toys out of the pram tonight.
