If you weren't 13 points ahead, you'd have been celebrating too. Absolutely nothing wrong with Sligo celebrating staying up. They looked destined for the drop and did really well to claw themselves out of a hole. Russell is a magician. And, no offence here, but staying up is an achievement for Galway too, given everything that's happened. That you were more comfortable than Sligo is nice, but you could easily have slipped into serious trouble.

Glad you both stayed up anyway. 2 of the best away trips in the country and I've a lot of time for the vast majority of both fanbases. And you've the MN DC flag, which is the leagues best imop.

Bray v Waterford will take place in Tolka Park on Friday. Live on VM. Waterford favourites. Bray looking to go one better on last year.

How many will travel up from Waterford on a Friday night, I suppose a couple of hundred and how many will come over from Bray, maybe a few hundred more as its a shorter journey.
Estimate an attendance of 1,500 weather permitting!

ah you're way off! 7 buses alone going from waterford. had well over 1k in tallaght a couple of years ago. Bray will have a huge crowd obviously being on a high and a short spin up the road. I'd guess 2.5k plus

Be a lot more than that. Id say 1500 bray, 1000 Waterford and maybe 500 odd neutrals

Are any radio stations broadcasting the match? I have no access to Virgin and there's no streams seemingly.

**joey B** · 07/11/2025, 7:54 PM

Bray 1 up

**Kiki Balboa** · 07/11/2025, 8:00 PM

This is a great watch. Really helter-skelter

The playoffs have been very enjoyable as a neutral.

**brendy_�ire** · 07/11/2025, 8:03 PM

Enjoyable game, even if that pitch is shocking.
Shouldn't really be hosting the match in that condition.

**2 Year Contract** · 07/11/2025, 8:04 PM

Some start to this game! Really entertaining for a neutral. Great crowd from Bray in particular and a great atmosphere to match. The pitch is absolutely in bits though, especially so in the box at the Ballybough end

**joey B** · 07/11/2025, 8:20 PM

Brutal defending from Bray for the equaliser…

**Kiki Balboa** · 07/11/2025, 9:08 PM

Kazinga is a mad player.

Both excellent and awful at the same time.

**Dermobohs** · 07/11/2025, 9:10 PM

Jesus, Keith Tracey is a gob****e, awful co comms, gets so many obvious calls wrong, hard to credit he played at a high level.

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 07/11/2025, 9:16 PM

And then you have Trevor Welsh who has decided Sam Smith is playing

At least we all know that Padraig Amond is 37 year old thanks to him. He seemed to mention it about 37 times in tribute to his age

Not to mention seemingly missing both red cards at the end there until about 30 seconds after they happened

According to comms John Russel leaving Sligo to take over at Waterford

The writing's on the wall.

Bit odd unless Sligo now feel that progres has stalled. They fairly stuck by him, so maybe if there is a change in direction its a win win way out for both.

Was hoping Bray would have won that play off tonight, tough one for them after so many games including 3 FD games to make the one game final, but same every season for whoever gets there from FD.

Tough but they finished 3rd, 17 points behind Dundalk. The playoffs were tougher on second placed Cobh. For Bray, the challenge is to challenge Cork or bridge the gap to beat PD 9th.
