Used to love going to matches in Longford. Years since I've been though, 07 I think was the last time so looking forward to tomorrow. 2-0 Drogs. Hard to see any upsets, you'd expect wins for Pats, Dundalk, Derry, Shels, Rovers and Sligo. Finn Harps v Cobh the tightest call.

I was going to say I expect a win from Shels tonight, but some may accuse me of being cocky. So I'll expect nothing and hope for the best, which may have me labeled as defeatist by others.

Lovely Bloke

I never expect Shels to do anything other than go out and play to the best of their ability.

Early morning cynicism.

Stupid competition anyway...

Bohs to win comfor.... Ah fúck.

Lawrence1895

I wonder, if we get a crowd of more than 250 down to Tolka tonight...including stewards :rolleyes:

Scrappy match and a tight win for Shels anyway, hopefully no injuries, there is a match next Friday

In fairness I don't blame any fan not wanting to go to game like this

Gavin "shels"

Can't get over Bluebell forfeiting home advantage tbh!

We'll take the break. Hopefully the Shels lads get battered about tonight by a couple of hatchet men.

dfx-

Sheriff, like Wayside, will be a tough side to face, so 4-5-1, try to sneak it 1-0 and hope they don't score.

All the bitterness, because of June 14th?

Partially that. Partially the whole relegation thing we both have going on. :pac:

Omackeral

At least with Bohs out of contention I can enjoy St. Pat's chasing of the Blue Ribband again. It doesn't get old. Ever.

dreamers75

Philly Hughes cup tied so starts.

dfx-

Potential upsets, Limerick Bray and Cork. All depends on how much Dundalk and Pats want to be in both competitions

We'll both stay up, what about that one?

sheao

I'd take a draw and then for City to progress hopefully in Cork next Tuesday in a replay.

brianregan09

Dundalk 3-1 on Limerick already and its only half time

Captain Havoc

2-0 here in Tallaght, the kids at half time showing the best football of the night and the only ones showing passion in a Shamrock Rovers jersey.

Derry doing their very best to destroy my accumulator.

Useless bleedin' Nordies.

Bluebell draw with Derry. Fair play, even though they fúcked me over in my accumulator.

Beauty of the cup my arse

Why did so many people have Derry backed? Were they priced as the away team?

bohsboy

A paltry 336 at the Shels game.

Glenn Cronin got a nasty injury too. Not what they wanted.

They must be overjoyed though to bring the poor expected streak to an end.

dreamers75

Derry lose 5 games at home and people back them??? lol

We werent great forsaken playing well for results. Bray missed chance of the season, dunno what Browne was thinking that lad always destroys him, but what a miss.

Also not too cold in bray and none of our players cuptied.

tHEY were 1/8 best priced i believe.No way would i put them in my bet.

Handy enough win for Dundalk tonight,took the foot of the pedal a bit and then conceded and then went and scored when that happened.SK was going bananas on the sidelines,the man has real passion and hates that oul conceding lark.Anyway i'm away back to me 3 euro pints of Fosters here & the music in the Lilywhite lounge in Oriel park,the place is jammers.

Sorry. You're right. Should have known.

Limerick put on a good second half last night and give us a tense enough finish .
Official attendance was just 1321- stewards enquiry me thinks

It's called concentrating on the league.

markc1184

Drogs were pretty poor in the first half tonight. Not much going right for them, silly mistakes and misplaced passes. Longford should have been further in front at half time. Put a free header wide and then scored with another free header from a corner. Drogs a little better to start the 2nd half and then scored twice in a minute. Couple of big deflections for Drogs second and Longfords second.

The guys from Dundalk love Tolka, am I remembering that one right?

dfx-

Terrible draw for Derry considering their recent record against Sligo home or away.

Good draw for Drogheda if they get through

Louth final so

Given the fact, that I have to ask my granddad, if he remembers, when Shels were able to beat Dundalk at home...are you looking for the Double?

blingrhino

wishful thinking lars !
but if we beat pats in inchicore i think we will win the league , a draw or loss and we are gonezo.
Happy enough with the cup draw though.

Why can't I remember that? Memory loss again...or some kind of motivation for Shels to prove me wrong?
