    Pats were good tonight, more the kind of SK stamp. It was pretty well closed out 2nd half bar that almost attempt by Burke, would have been pure class if it hadnt drifted wide. A lot of work to do by Pats to have any hope of Europe still, games in hand are a fools points. That Galway Waterford last day safety clash still looking very possible. Galway have rediscovered that awkward hard to beat nature, form at the right time even if they do end up in the play-off. Sligo I kind of expected to get a resul tonight so not on as solid a ru as maybe thought. Waterford are still the ones that are fighting to break out of a rut and the only ones that you could see getting a shock in a play-off. GD making a significant difference this season, leaves Waterford very uncomfortable and makes Rovers not have to be too bothered by any results in the run in - about as relaxed as you can get when playing 2nd spot to potentially leave only 3 in it.

    Five wins in a row to finish the season for LTFC. Been a while since we did that. A word of sympathy for the Athlone commentator who made a good attempt at sounding like he didn't want to jump off the stand. Must have been a long old season for him.
    Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.

    Very composed performance by Treaty to seal the final promotion playoff spot.

    Pats were good but we were awful. Still probably had the better clear cut chances particularly in the second half, albeit pats dominated most of it, just couldn't get on the end of things. Anang made a wonder save and Gaffney should have scored. We are doing our best to win the league by gd and keep bohs sweating on our cup final. We are a shadow of ourselves without Honohan, Grant, Pico and Grace though so a lot depends on them coming back. Grace came on tonight but it was probably rushed. Europe will be a slog.

    Ahhh poor things! all those games travelling to interesting places while clubs making money

    Was thinking earlier about Lopes (and Anang?) being away for maybe 6 weeks during WC next Summer. There will be a break of some sorts but not the full time players could be away. Need to find a 2nd squad player that will be called up just to see how the FAI manage manage, refixtures and with a good chace of Euopean groups for Rovers. Season could be exta front weighted. Slow starts title challenges and trying to avoid relegation can be undone early. Could benefit clubs that miss out on Europe over the next couple of weeks in the longer run. Bohs will really not want to miss out financially, Drogs and Shels to a lesser extent maybe but St Pats could carry missing out and take an advantage in a title tilt. Big quads and costly signings will be needed which will squeeze us relegation fodder, 10th wont hang in as long as Cork managed this season.

    Too early for that. Dara's been excellent since taking Moore's spot

    Agree, Bohs had all the possession and created nothing. That lack of creativity up top is what will cost us the European place. What's the story with DJT? In the printed preview it said Bohs had a full strength squad to choose from

    Terrible end of league for Kerry. 8 league games without a win. The first 2 of 8 were creditable draws against Dundalk and Cobh. 6 league games without a win since the Mounthawk Miracle of knocking out Sligo Rovers.
    I think Longford made an FAI Cup semi final early in their LoI existence. Treaty, though different due to being a continuation of Limerick really, made an FAI Cup semi final as well. As a supporter of another club alluded to after the Mounthawk Miracle - it could be the result to have supporters hooked but locked in for years of hope and misery.
    "Ah father, it's terrible, terrible!" Dreadful end of season.

    Great win for us last night. Didn't see that coming. Bohs were atrocious though. 3 of their 13 wins have been against rovers, but in a Jeckyll-Hyde year for them they've now lost more than they've won this season. Those two key men, Hickey and Hurley, we'd be in a lot of trouble without them. Hickey's injury during the summer really set us back as much as losing Dyer. Great crowd again, and last night's results for Sligo and Waterford couldn't have gone better for us. We have it in our own control with Waterford still to play, and a better GD than our two relegation threatened compatriots. Special mention to Stephen Walsh. 369 appearances, club record. 60 or so goals doesn't sound like a great return, but quite a lot of them were important goals for us at key times.

    Finding form just in time after whats been a fairly mixed season down there. I saw a little bit of the Wexford match and they had no answer to Treaty. Does Barrett stick around next year or will it depend on the playoffs?
