Bohemians -v- Waterford Utd 7.45
Dalymount Park

Drogheda United -v- Bray Wanderers 7.45
United Park

UCD -v- Cork City 7.45
Belfield Park

Belfield is usually a tricky place for City (well it was, at least until the 5-1 last year!), but i predict a win for the rebel army, it wont be comfortable, it wont be pretty, but it'll be three points in the bag...

in the other games, victory for bohs and another exciting nil all for drogheda

Galway United - Finn Harps 7:45

Athlone Town - Dundalk 7:30
Kildare County - Shamrock Rovers 7:30
Kilkenny City - Limerick FC 7:30

02 April 2006
Monaghan United - Cobh Ramblers 3:00

Galway and Finn Harps will be a tough game and IMO the deal breaker for 2nd place, I'm guessing 1-0 Galway

Athlone and Dundalk both teams looking for a first win this year, I fancy the Dundalk lads to get their season going at Dundalks expense, 2-1, peter hynes to score

Kildare and Rovers, I'd expect to see Rovers to do the business here, seeing as we're flying high with an unbeaten start to the season 3-0 rovers

The Cats and Limerick, I think Kilkenny will edge it 1-0

Mons and Cobh, I'd think Cobh hands down, but its a good long journey to travel and an early kick off too could be dicey, 1-1

how do you figure they've the same points and goal diff as you

In the EPL i see a victory for bohs to finally get them back on track. I can see CCFC getting a hard earned win over College while as much as it hurts me to say it as a Bray fan, i think Drogs will turn us over tonight.

20 Times 20 Times

We will win peter the great hynes and phillie huges to bang them in

blu_sonic

I would really like to see Hynsey and Robbie Collins from CHF in the rovers squad

Waterford have taken the lead over Bohs. Their awful start to the season has continued.

Bohemians 0-1 Waterford

The curse returns!

Fair play Drogheda, they're playing some good stuff and (more importantly) getting the results!

looks like cork were the exciting ones (just joking)

ah the real football gets played tonight with both of Irelands greatest teams playing ain't that right Sarge?

Kingp35

Im disappointed with the bray result as again they conceed a late enough goal. Thought they could have at least held out for the draw but fair play to Drogheda as their great start to the season continues. Hopefully Bray can get their first win of the season on tuesday when they face Pats in the Carlisle. Ill definitely be at that one.

applehunter

Bohs were the bet of the year last night against Waterford.

Cork City were ok but didnt trouble the UCD goal enough. That still 10 games unbeaten since the start of the year which is excellent.

Should be a good game in the Showgrounds. Id nearly fancy Sligo in their own ground.

KdjaCL

Hopefully pats will pull an ugly bird tonight.


Bit of revenge for last season would be nice, its a weird feeling expecting a win, forgot what it was like

Molloy and Larrson up front, doubt Larrson will last 4 minutes so Crouchie Flood be on soon enough.

Rovers 1-1 Pats

Pats equalised with the last bloody kick of the game. A poorly defended corner by Rovers led to a goalmouth scramble and we all know what happened next. :mad:

From listening to Ocean FM, Rovers were the better team and deserved the three points. We threw them away, it seems.

KdjaCL

Peno was never peno seemingly so justice.

POint away , take that thanks

Still un beaten....i feel dizzy .....nearly safe.......

If it wasn't a legitimate penalty, then fair enough, justice was done. It is annoying that we couldn't hold out for the win though, against a side that we seemed to have the measure of.

Another worrying aspect is the fact that we've only scored once in our last two games, and that was from a penalty. Methinks the Rovers aren't the strongest side up front. Still, if I was told that the Bit O' Red would have 5 points out of 12 at this stage of the season, I wouldn't have been disappointed.

I confidently predict that we won't get relegated this year.

We could have been in third, dagnabbit. Fair play to Drogs for leading at this stage.
