Big game for Rovers v St Pats and a big crowd hopefully.
Wouldnt have much confidence of getting something off PAts after the performance in Sligo but once again ill travel in hope.
Shels v Drogs will really show if Shels are title material, i expected them to drop points away in Galway but home to Drogs is the kind of tough gane title winning sides win imo.
Waterford top of the league and with a poor enough Bohs team coming will be looking forward to extending thete time at the top.
UCD and Harps could both do with the points and hopefully one or the other gets all 3.
I fancy Kerry to turn over Bray and if they do they will be comfortably in the top half and have somethng to build on

Huge game already for Rovers. Pats schooled us in Tallaght at the tail end of last season so I'm quite worried. Hopefully the pitch is up to scratch. We struggled at Tolka and in Sligo with the heavy pitch. Although in saying that the Aviva didn't seem to suit us either!

[El-Pietro]

Worried about Sligo now given the injuries and suspension for Anderson. Our squad is fairly thin and this is a massive game all of a sudden.

We don’t win in Belfield so I’d snap your hand of for a draw ,we probably haven’t been that bad in the last 2 games but 4 defeats on the spin to start the season will be hard to sugarcoat….

[dansultheman]

A good opportunity for Kerry FC to get their first win vs a Bray side that look like very different from last years playoff final side. We peppered Dundalk in the second have but couldn’t get that elusive goal and confidence is up, moral is up and a chance to get early points on the board. If we are to make a push for playoffs, you have to be looking getting a win.

Probably take a ramble to the Bowl with the monsters. Knowing my luck with UCD home games it will be another draw or tight loss.

[outspoken]

If Longford play like they did last week they've every chance but you do fear Cobh clicking at some point just hope it's not tomorrow. The flip side is the longer it takes Cobh to truly get up and running the more pressure will mount down there given the money spent.

You were decent against Athlone but Cobh at home will be a difficult proposition. Least those 2 clowns won’t be on commentary ;-)

A win is badly needed for ourselves tonight. Feel like we won't keep a clean sheet, but if we took even half the chances we created against Waterford last week, we'll be ok.
It'll be interesting to see what random central midfielder we play at right back tonight. Not like Galway have any pacy lads up front who'll be a test for us.....

First fixture scheduling gripe of the season, but this is the third Friday in a row we've had a home match. After today, it'll be four weeks until our next home game. Don't seem to make much sense..

For a man with 0 credit in the bank Reynolds has made a bold team selection tonight. Morahan starting at CB, Flores at LB Clarke at left wing. It's like an experiment to see how many CMS they can fit into a starting 11. Hope it works out for him because on paper that's an absolute joke of a starting 11

[Nesta99]

Drogheda are one side ye dont want to concede early to and give them a chance to sit in! This will be a test for Shels now.

Current break in play for treatment to the keeper. Kerry gifted Bray the first. Kerry then denied a stonewall penalty and the Kerry manager given a yellow card to run salt in the wound.

Genius so far

Awful match in tallaght. # relegation battle. Trying to figure out who is worst

[ger121]

Football is such an easy game really.

Honestly fair play to him for changing it. The Bohs Twitter had us playing 4-5-1 but we're playing 5-3-2. Still a wild selection to make but it's working so far. Waterford have made some rash decisions in the box to help us get the 3 goals but overall Bohs have been the better team. Let's hope it continues

Id call it reasonably engaging. I think the contrast between Rovers European games and the intensity they brought in the latter stages *(compared to tonight) is interesting. This is early Rovers in Europe, typical early domestic stuff. St Pats are hard to guage still, they probably should be well clued in to how they are wanted to play but took a while to use the width and got more out of the exchanges by HT.

The Bohs strange selection have played really well, high intensity and pressing. They did take their foot off the gas when they scored the first goal but turned it up again to penetrate and get two penalties. Deserved to be winning it at half time

How is Mulraney not off. That was a worse dive than the one he got booked for
