    Dear God, it's been boring here...

    ...so here's this week's fixtures earlier than usual:

    Cork v Cobh
    Drogs v Derry
    Pats v Bray
    Harps v Bohs
    Shams v Galway
    Sligo v UCD (Sat)

    It's interesting to speculate how much of an effect the break will have had. I reckon losing 3-2 at home after being 3-2 up and then having to wait 3 weeks to rectify it would make Derry dangerous opposition but they're away against the champions, in a ground where they never seem to get a good result (barring 2005).

    Cork and Pats, with home advantage have got to be shoe-ins for the 3 poimts but I reckon Finn Harps will be full of energy and want to start aftesh and therefore Bohs will only get a draw in Balybofey.

    Shamrock Rovers and Galway is anyone's guess, while Sligo will win 2-0...

    Thoughts?

    It was a trick the likes of which has never been seen before.

    As for you waiting to rectify it, well Liffey Pearse were there for the taking and we just about took them and no more. Doesn't look good for the Drogs match, I'll take a draw now if offered.

    Is it a surprise, or does it just make sense, to have a Cork official officiating at the Cork derby - Alan Kelly will be blowing for the CorkvCobh game

    Less travelling for all involved, no language barrier, makes perfect sense.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    Bit of a feel good factor back at the club at the min due to the good news re the stadium , so hopefully some the stuff that was going on behind the scenes is sorted and we can gat back to winning ways .TBH no one knows which Drogs team is gonna show .Hope its the commited interested one , if not were in trouble .

    If we play like we did against Athlone, Bohs might well hit double figures.

    Doubt it tbh - it'd break the habit of a lifetime if RTÉ or another TV company decided to televise this one.

    Plus - the Intertoto game kicks off at 7pm - Euro 2008 Quarter Final kicks off at 7:45pm

    Go figure...

    Our game against NEC was televised. Not sure about the others.

    The LoI away record against Welsh (incl English league) teams is consistently poor. It should be a reminder in case non-Bohs fans get in a tissy if the result over there goes against them.

    That's a very important factor though.

    Carmarthen should be enough to see Bohs through, I think.

    I don't understand, it's the same poor record. Wales v. Rep. of Irl. Wales consistently come out on top.

    Swansea or Wrexham are a different kettle of fish to TNS or Carmentham. Those limited result sets also include the bizarre Longford v Carmentham farce which skews it quite a bit. Bohs are now our league leaders whereas Longford were relegation fodder at the time
