First Division

Friday 28th (all 19:45)

Athlone v Treaty
Cobh v UCD
Cork v Bray
Kerry v Wexford
Longford v Finn Harps

The slim hopes we have of a league comeback will be tested tonight up in Sligo.
To say im pessimistic is an understatement,
Cork v an informish Bray might be interesting and UCD and Harps should be winning in Cobh and Longford.
Pats v Bohs should be a good match, we need to hope they dont put a run together becasue with Waterfod and Galway looking strong Rovers need to make sure they qualify for Europe next year or this season could go from a calamity to a serious medium term decline in the club. If Galway win their game in hand we are fourth and out of a guaranteed Europe spot with an away maych against Bohs in the cup to look forward to off the back of the Europe matches.

A swift opportunity for Kerry to get back on the wagon, even if our overall record against Wexford is rather woeful, but so much as a point tonight would leave the seasonal record at almost double that of last year. Keeping the excellent home form undoubtedly has to be the priority, of course.

Shels tonight versus Galway are without Mark Coyle due to suspension and obviously no Gav Molloy anymore with Sam Bone and Ali Coote not eligible yet. Possibly our worst performance of the season was without Coyle in the away game versus Galway it will be a test for Duff to get our tactics right this time tonight

For the week that’s in it all I can say is “…. Too many negative waves Moriarty…. Woof woof..”

Hard to be positive at the moment but i havent given up hope yet

Must win in the Brandywell against the first of two matches in a row against our bogey teams.
Drogs and now bottom, and we really should be winning this comfortably, but who knows.

Still think Shamrock Rovers will go on a proper run like they usually do, but I've been saying this for a couple of months now. Tonight's the night?

Not expecting much from Bohs tonight to say the least. I guess it's a free hit before Tierney and whoever else gets signed are available for selection but that Derry performance last time out was one of the worst I've seen in a while. It'll be good to see Jake Carroll get more minutes I guess, he looked pretty assured on his debut.

Bohs might benefit from the compact surrounds of Inchicore. Keep it close for 75 mins and push for the win from there would be the game plan I think. The squad is in dire need of a revamp though it's bloated with a lot of poor quality players so I'll take a point now if you offered it to me.

Dundalk concede at home for the first time in four months. 767 minutes all told - though they've only scored four times in that period of course.

Shels and Derry both winning, so extra pressure on Rovers already.

Adam Foley scores, celebrates in front of the Derry fans, and then gets a yellow card as his team concede a Peno. GLITW.

You said it CJ.

Simon Power scores against his former club as Rovers' crisis deepens.

In fact, it's just gone 2-0. Power again.

They're three points behind Waterford, and a point ahead of Galway who have a game in hand

Funny how often when the end comes it comes so quick…. Can’t see us doing anything in Europe so hopefully we’ll manage a cup run ( doubtful) … all about rebuilding ( which we will do) and I hope Bradley stays and does that …. I noted he made a veiled reference earlier this week to some players becoming complacent, so perhaps a lack drive and not just the injury problems is the cause of our failure…. Won’t be the first or last time that happens

Looks like the first Sligo goal went right through Pohls - more dodgy keeping haunting Rovers

UCD with a sixth draw in seven matches yet we're still second. Can't see that being enough to trouble the playoffs.

Cork 13 points clear now and cantering home as expected. And this season, something happening as expected is pretty unexpected

With our budget this season is unacceptable. End of an era.

We’ve thrown away some games this yr with silly mistakes, lapses but this one isn’t one of them. Simply outplayed.

fight on to even make Europe now. Need the few bodies back..

Pats 0-0 Bohs both teams played well probably the best 0-0 draw this season. Mom Bohs keeper.

Harps left 2 points behind them in Longford,more than enough chances to win the game....
