Had to create this thread after tonight.
Really looking forward to the game tonight. In my recent experience that's a recipe for disaster . Hopefully we see some of the new lads get a start and freshen things up. If Grieves hits the ground running it could be a turning point for us. We've been creating chances but not taking them recently. We need to start taking them and build up some momentum in the league.
Strange not having a game on a Friday while there are others on but I’ll enjoy watching one tonight. In terms of watching a game that relates most to Pats, the optimist in me would go for watching Bohs Sligo but the pessimist would go for Dundalk Drogheda, which I’m swaying more towards at the moment

If Sligo and Waterford were to win tonight we could be down to sixth (probably avoid it on goal difference).
It shows how important Europe is this year. No Champions league next year....even Europe isnt guaranteed in the slightest.
Will probably be jumping between matches tonight the LOI season pass is great value IMO.
Kerry have a terrible record against Bray. There are teams above Bray in the table who Kerry are more confident of getting a result against. Kerry could do with a positive result this evening before travelling away to Cobh in the Cup next week.
Ronan Teahan has been booked after only 5 minutes.
All action in MH Park! Kerry harshly had a goal disallowed for offside and then had a strong penalty claim waved away. Kelliher however has come up with the opening goal. Kerry deservedly lead 1-0. Only 15 minutes gone.
Dundalk 2 up after 17 minutes,Drogheda in big trouble….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
His next league goal will be his 20th overall, which, given tonight is his 57th game, is a very respectable ratio!
And no sooner did he fire in a penalty, than Bray responded with a quick double to level - that Indian sign still hangs over us!
Isnt whole lot in it bar the goals and thay have been rare enough for Dundalk. Doyle off after 10 mins or so and was hitting form. Benson looking a bit more like himself. Still dont feel too comfortable 2 up. It should be a good time to get at Dundalk for any side with losing 3 key players in the last 10 days, keeper making his debut so really 3 or 4 newbies/kids at the back.
*.......game on and nervy again!
Been watching Bohs-Sligo and the home side have been horrendous so far. A couple of bright moments but overall play has been severely lacking, I'm sure Tierney will come good but he's off the pace and the ball is bouncing off Akintunde every time they try to use him as an outlet. Sligo meanwhile have been decent but wasteful until Waweru took his goal well.
Lifeline for Bohs though as Mallon has conspired to get himself sent off on what I believe is his debut.
An all action first half in MH Park! Kerry 2-0 up after 23 minutes. Could have been 4 up! Bray then with a quickfire two goals to come flying back into the game.
Bray are fortunate not to be down to ten men. Kerry then saw a late audacious effort come off the crossbar just before half-time.
2-2 at half time. A half of two halves!!
I'm gonna disagree, the game has been entertaining with some good football but with no real efforts on goal. The Sligo goal came from a bad decision by Bohs, a great pass by Sligo and an even better finish. Mallon probably should have walked in the second minute so was lucky to stay on until 38th minute.
James-Taylor is just pure athleticism, if he is a finisher along with mobility and power he will be the key man in keeping Drogheda in the fight til season end. By comparison there isnt any real physcality through the Dundalk team (tonight at least) bar Animashun and maybe Mountney. We are not going to bully things so it will have to be moving the ball quick, taking chances and I suspect some scramble defence (luck) to get these essential 3 points. If we do win it will squeeze 7-9th with games in hand and Bohs losing as it stands, put a bit of pressure on. Or relegation will just be an all Louth affair.
Lovely footballing goal by Dundalk,..number 4 please just to save some shredded nerves!!

Kelliher hat trick! 3-2 Kerry. First player to score a hat trick for Kerry!!!
Terrible equaliser from a Kerry point of view. A completely free header. 3-3.
Akintunde off side far too often
