Pressure on Derry and Bohs to get results on Friday with everyone else playing two games things could get very tight.
A pair of wins for Pats and Shels with losses on Friday for Derry and Bohs would have Derry in second on 49 , Pats 48, Shels 48 , Bohs 47.
On the other hand wins for Derry and Bohs and we could see them put real distance in the race for Europe places.

Galway v Sligo on Monday is a huge one obviously , if Galway play like they did against Pats they should win...will be interesting to see the Sligo reaction to the loss in Kerry.
Big weekend for Drogs as well , two wins and thet are right in it but their season seems to be slipping away a bit

Sort of, but only if the other club wins.
For our game, I think it's a must win for Shels, a draw for us isn't a disaster.
Chatting to a good few Shels fans over in Armenia (haven't they multiplied of late?), and they are still stuck on the idea of getting second spot. I don't blame them, as it's probably there for the taking. A draw would do them no good in that regard.

We've just had the news that Ben Doherty is out for the season, so we'll be needing Dummigan fit to stick him in tomorrow.

Galway are in serious need of a win, but I don't think they'll get it in Inchicore, nor that Sligo will at home to Drogs. They play each other on Monday night in Galway, massive game.

FD-wise, Harps are playing Bray at good time. Bray don't have much to play for, they're just going to finish third. Is it even worth the effort of trying harder to finish second? Hardly much advantage.

What games are on Virgin TV and is there a Monday night game being shown?

Pats and Galway on tonight. Doesn't seem to be showing a game Monday, with Rovers and Bohs the next listen for next Friday

Pitch inspection at Markets field at 3pm for Treaty/Athlone

[Tomas]

Very difficult set of fixtures

See only two "bankers" Sligo home win, and Shelbourne shell shocking Derry.

As for others would like the Bohs win to still make the title push interesting but then Rovers are away to Cork.

Bohemians v Waterford - home win
Cork v Shamrock Rovers - draw
Sligo v Drogheda - home
Derry v Shelbourne - away
St Pats v Galway - draw

[ger121]

So very Bohs. You could tell it was coming.

[Bohtastic]

Bohs absolute poison tonight. Gifted a goal by a comical keeper error.
Waterford having the bulk of the chances, only got a goal in 1st half stoppage time due to a linesman call saying the ball was over the line for the second week in a row. Another week there won't be a conclusive camera angle to show either way.
This season has an end of 2023 vibe to it for us. Form fallen off a cliff.

[culloty82]

Darragh Foley comes on for his debut in the Kerry goals, after Matt Connor picked up a knock just before HT.

[pineapple stu]

Means I think both sides are now giving debuts to the guys who started the season third choice, having gotten rid of their first choice during the season

[placid casual]

If Rovers had a striker they'd be dangerous.
Should have hammered cork 5 :1 but woeful up front result's in another draw in turmers cross

[pineapple stu]

Just seeing Pat's and Shels are level on points, goal difference and goals scored for fourth place (and potentially the last European spot)

How does that get decided if it ends that way?

[sbgawa]

Jeez thats a terrible last 20 mins for harps. Treaty losing and harps winning cimpletly reversed

[thebronze14]

Harps bottle it against ten men as normal. Two absolutely braindead penalties to give away. Open goal missed at 2 1 up. Playoff gone

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Anang is an absolute liability on crosses

[Nesta99]

Waterford in the play-off, Dundalk would have nothing to wory about...they're getting sucked in and their GD drops them in it with just 1 swing of results.
Dundalk have to make Wexford's efforts count tomorrow. Always a hit or miss away to UCD (feels like a miss too oftent) so 3 points tomorrow leaves the pressure off prior to playing Athlone and with Bray back in with a shout if beating Cobh the same night. If Dundalk are promoted prior to going to Cobh last day and Bray are within striking distance, well Cobh dont seem to hold their nerve in the must wins!?

I don't know. Waterford deserved something from that match tonight, they weren't bad at all...

[patsdad]

Anang is an absolute liability on crosses

What a bizarre comment. Not sure what a Sligo supporter was doing watching Pats when Sligo were playing but Anang is very good on crosses and the only time he was beaten tonight was a penalty.

[pineapple stu]

Always a hit or miss away to UCD (feels like a miss too oftent) so

We're in Oriel next week
