Weekend games Friday 9th to Saturday 10th May

You’d be good value in the crossbar challenge.

Yup.

Next week we'll have three goals ruled out for offside and knowing our luck have a penalty overturned by VAR.

On the plus side, Mikey Raggett scored. So there's that

You’ll need to keep an eye on that goals per minutes ratio ;-)

Becoming the same old story with some of the Pats performances this season. Very good first half I felt after a bright enough shels opening 15 mins Pats dominated the rest of the half and Anang didn’t have to make a save (tipped a speculative Coyle effort out for a corner but the shot was heading over anyways. Then 2 mins into the second half Forrester does his hamstring stretching for an interception on the edge of shels box, Shels show their class by not putting the ball out of play and going up the other end to score, Forrester goes off injured and Pats go to ****e for the rest of the game. Not a game they deserved to lose on the balance of play but Jesus they need to improve in games where Forrester isn’t on the pitch

Massive win for us to tonight. Quality wise the league mightn’t necessarily be fantastic but the sheer entertainment on offer this season is amazing. When we sacked Long we were in danger of being cut adrift of the top 7 suddenly a few weeks and wins later were 9 clear of the bottom two and 5 off the top.

Honestly it’s ****ing hard not to love this league. Don’t know how somebody can love football and not be a fan of this league. Cmon Da Blues

[trevy]

Great win to finally beat Galway as it's been 3 years since we beat them and with a goal from a corner too after all the goals they have scored from set pieces against us in that time. Deserved win and should have been more than 1 goal as Clarke made some great saves and Lonergan missed a great chance in injury time. We've gone from losing 7 games in a row to winning 4 in a row now.

[CorribsideSteve]

Waterford could have won 5 or 6 nil only for Brendan Clarke. A performance that says we'll finish bottom in the bottom 4. Hanging on and hanging on, camped on the edge of our box, hoping not to concede, and then we do, and then we can't score in a month of Sundays.

[oriel]

Bray will be kicking themselves this am, going 2-1 up with 2 mins to go and with 10 men, then to be clawed back to 2-2 on 90+2.

That said, looked a clear pen for Dundalk first half, and a second half off the line clearance looked to be over the line from a few who were online with this at the corner flag area stand side, but that's football.

We are also drawing far too many games. Decent game though last night.

The released highlights on you tube seem to have edited out the Forrester incident.
Is that Shels or LOITV doing the editing?

It’s the league that do the highlights. Think I mentioned on Monday that they miss at least one big incident in every single highlights package they put out and low and behold that seems to be the case again, although I haven’t watched any of the highlights of last nights games back yet

The highlights are compiled by some AI program as far as I know.

If highlights went up on a Saturday morning that were properly compiled and actually include all the incidents/chances in the games rather than the current quick turnaround that they’re uploaded in which includes stuff like 30 seconds of the half time whistle being blown, I think most people would accept that tradeoff, as long as the video of all the goals on the night continues to go up on a Friday night

[Buckett]

The scores from other games that pop up during a live stream are fairly embarrassing too. I watched the Waterford game. They put up incorrect info about the Cork Derry score, two minutes later they put up the correct one, then five minutes later they put up the original incorrect one. It's small things like this, along with their ridiculous attempts at replays and their useless highlights that show the league in a bad light. I'll never pay for a subscription again. Even at a ton for the season it's overpriced.
The commentary has improved from what I've seen so far, in fairness

Who's going to compile the highlights though? It's not exactly rocket science but it's time consuming.

I dunno, I’m happy to pay the €99 for the season, and get to see every Pats game, plus any other game that takes my fancy (will probably give Sligo/Bohs a watch later.: The complaints about coverage don’t seem that major to me. Small bugbear last night was the Shels commentator (was it Declan Drake ? Sounded a bit like him) pronouncing it Elbouzetti for the whole game. Was pretty irritating, has he genuinely never heard the name being said before, or even read how it’s spelt ? Anyway, I remember the days before LOI tv, so I’ll take the minor irritants. Plus, I got a new phone and am finally able to cast to my TV, so happy days

Had not made a game in weeks so delighted to get to meet all my Kerry friends and as usual top notch hospitality from all ,,,that is .. except on the pitch.Treaty were very charitable in the first half, gave away a soft goal and totally outplayed....second half totally dominated the home side but the charity vibe didnt abate as a couple of glaring missed sitters and some fine saves by the home keeper meant the inconsistency continues.

That would depend on the club of course but a lot of premier division clubs have media teams that could potentially take it on as they did in the past.

I haven’t watched a full Pats match on it in years due to being at the games but even listening to Oisin Langan and Keith Treacy pronounce Axel Sjöberg (correct pronunciation is Showberg) as Carl (government first name that he doesn’t go by) Axel "Soyberg" and Tom Grivosti as "Grigoski" or "Grigogski" on the highlights absolutely grinds my gears

[2 Year Contract]

Bohs late winner, water is wet. Sligo left to regret yet another penalty miss this season

[Dermobohs]

Huge 3 points, Sligo were up for a scrap.
Lys’ first of many goals for us, love Sligo, great away spot.
Mad league this year, don’t know if any team will finish top 3 or 8th, great stuff.

[oriel]

Big win for Bohs, and that almost confirms unless a huge season turn around by both, will see one of Sligo or Cork C relegated, the other in PO.

Thought one of the most unusual stories of the weekend was the almost rudeness by Kenny in the post match interview Shels v Pats, he is better than that and should be treating interviews with better respect, even his facial expression was wrong, like a guy in the pub challenging you. He needs to seriously improve his media, but that was same at DFC and Ireland, seems he not taking it onboard.

Getting very tight at the top, Derry all of a sudden getting to 2nd, and Bohs moving 4th, a place they would only have dreamed of last month.

He is not good under pressure.
