Wtih 3 tied at the top and the race to avoid getting pulled into a relegation battle every match has plenty on it.
Dundalk need to win or risk falling to far behind a charging bohs for fourth place.assuming that the top 3 keep going.

First division highlight is probably Treaty against UCD.....fancy UCD to do it but Treaty have been a determined bunch

[pineapple stu]

Nah, our form has gone off a cliff lately. Defenders getting too tight to Kerrigan/Whelan, and the midfield not really stepping into the gaps.

We'll give Treaty a game, for sure, but I fancy them to win it.

European game being on Tuesday and in Wales there are no excuses there, Harps getting deeper in to a rut of bad form, Dundalk improving and at home - if Dundalk dont take 3 points then the season is definitely a bust if it isnt already. That said Im sure Ollie is thinking that this game could stop the rot!

[nigel-harps1954]

I have zero expectations from the game tomorrow, but then I didn't have high expectations when we won there at the start of the season.

Must win tonight with our next 2 league games being away to Rovers and away to Dundalk.

We scored a last minute winner in Richmond against Drogs the first time around and then they beat us up in Drogheda so it is going to be tight again tonight.

Fully expect Dundalk to dispatch us pretty easily,we’re at the “might not win another game this season”stage of a Harps league season!!

That really does sound like an Ollie self fulfilling prophecy! (though he would probably have said it match week 1).

He was actually pretty positive this week,that’s why I’m worried!!

Derry obviously skimped on production for their stream. Poor quality and no comentators....just a banging feckin drum

Not as bad as the rubbish from Rovers - started poorly look lethargic and now one down

[sbgawa]

And now 2 down. I'm off to the pub.

Perhaps Rovers shouldn't advertise how much they liked playing on this pitch. Looks like it hast been watered in weeks, albeit the last few days have been very warm.
Usual clanger from hennessy, never even remotely a peno but there you go.
Good finish by Burkey anyway.

Id say the drum is still better than Siobhan Madigan.

Sound is back and so are Rovers - should be a exciting last half hour

Scored 4 could have been more when you were on your pints!

Fairweather fan!!!😁.

Good comeback from the Hoops- it helps to have quality on the bench.
Now that Rovers have a relatively full squad I'm far more hopeful for the rest of the season and I'd like to think we can "get the train moving" as Aaron Greene said in a recent interview.

Had to change my location to change our luck
Great to see kavo back

Derry have really let the side down tonight.
