Saturday May 12th
Kildare County vs Shelbourne - Station Road 7.30 Draw

Massive match for Shels on Saturday. Not only because Kildare are our local rivals this season but 3 points badly needed if we're to kick start our season but I'm predicting another stalemate as we're taking ages to gel!

Absolutely horrible fixture lists this week for betting purposes. Every single game screams out dodgy. The only one thats remotely tempting me so far is Kildare to beat Shels @4/5. Kildare a decent side and played well against Dundalk last week. Apart from that though, yuck.

You should put a punt on nil-all between UCDD and Pats. There's been (I think) 3 goals between them since UCDD came back up.

Think Drogheda will beat Linfield. Bohs are also worth a bet at 1.75 on betfair; Longford and Waterford are jointly the 2 worst teams in the division.

Cant wait for the Cobh game!!! Its the closest thing we have to a derby and they have already knocked us out of the cup so there is some bad blood there, come on you super blues!!!

Limerick Dude

Grrr i couldnt get to the match, anyone have tonights scores?!!!

Your boys got a creditable 0-0 draw against a good Cobh team. Bohs won 5-0.
Pats were 2 up but drew 2-2 in the end and it looks like the Dundalk have got a draw up in Donegal.

Limerick Dude

Cheers Pighead, fair play to Finn harps in holding dundalk to a draw!
First division is still wide open.

Race for 2nd is pretty open alright. I'd expect Dundalk to pull away after the next 4 games. 3 home games against lowly Kilkenny, Monaghan and Shels and then an away game against Athlone(who we beat 6-2 a few weeks back). Pighead expects at least 9 points from those games.

Premier Division here we come!

Did you come down to Jackman Park a few weeks ago, there was a great dundalk crowd i must say.

Can we officially call the Pats bubble burst at this stage:D

Brian Kerr showing his influence with those 2 late goals there.

Went along to Bohs match. Bohs didn't need to be that good as Longford's defending was pretty awful. Bohs keeper is excellent, good stops and quick restarts with accurate throws. Mansoram was caught offside about 300 times I counted.

I don't know how the fat pigeon does it. He doesn't really do much, a lot of the time hes behind the play but he ends up with a hat-trick.

Right place Right Time I suppose.

Longford support kept their spirits up throughout in fairness, pity the poor fella who was vomiting from the drink and then had to sit through that performance.

Umm we scored 2 goals in Belfield, thats ****ing deadly. Considering we have scored 3 in the 12 previous games there :eek:

Dennis Wise at the game last night, seemingly checking out Quigley/Gregg who scored a screamer, Eamo picked him up from airport and brought him to match. Eamo is agent for about 12 of our team. Wont be Ndo tho due tp work permits

Interesting. Im happy to hear that he is taking an interest in the EL but until this administration business is over Wise wont be buying any of your players.

Nice Pighead, nice.

Lowly eh?

Another poxy draw after being ahead, this time in Newbridge.

If we could convert the draws to wins we'd challenge for second.

If me aunty had balls...

A low low night for Cork City on Saturday. Im told the only player who deserves any credit is Billy Woods, the rest played like a shower of wánkers.

Huge game vs The Big Club on Friday now. Ricos new contract could well depend on it!
