Cork will dismantle us with little trouble, minimum 2 goal margin of victory

Seems like they've been lost without Healy, if he starts they should.

Can't make it to Wexford due to work and my lift not going, but there's 2 buses heading down and probably a good crowd driving too.

NIMAN

Smart money would say we will achieve our goal of a 0-0 v UCD, that will be Roddy delighted.

That_Guy

Gonna be another long night for Bohs methinks. Having said that I'm not going down so they'll probably win knowing my luck. Poxy fúcking exams.

We have won 3 and drawn one without him. Hardly lost.

Maybe lost isn't the word, a Cork fan said they've look a bit lacklustre without him, think he was mainly judging his trip to UCD on Friday.

This season Healy has been different class, its only now thats he's out injured that I realise that. Best in the league for me.

Was enjoyable watching Towell outmuscle and outplay McPhail last week. He's had a slowish start to the season but the last two or three games (bar the Athlone game) he's really starting to step it up.

Athlone 18-1 to win scares me.....

You haven't seen them play yet. Was our worst performance under Kenny and there was still a gulf in class. Pat's coming in to form will stuff them

Bohs are a tougher prospect away from home and UCD should spoil Roderick's plans..

I'm not sure why people are so surprised by this. Heary was always a bit of a hoof merchant as a player. His poor use of the ball was probably one of the major reasons he never went cross channel.

Because we actually played decent ball the first few games this season

Conditions in Turners Cross are appalling. Pissing rain and hurricane wind. Poor game as a result. 1-1 at the mo. Bohs playing with the wind and city struggling as a result.

Alfred Borden

Most consistent team in the league!!

Omackeral

Athlone Town's morale must be in the toilet at this stage. Getting thumped 4-0 by St Pats. Roddy knew...

No money available, we wouldnt exist this time next year if we gave into his demands.

kksaints

Fifth win a row for us. Starting to hit some good form. Athlone sounded very poor.

Our third goal was meant to be a horrible error by the Athlone goalie.

NIMAN

Derry get a good point v the mighty UCD. Roddy will be happy we didn't lose, I'm sure thats all part of the masterplan.

Only a matter of time until he gets the bullet?

Gavin "shels"

93rd min goal for Wexford from a corner (the wind basically blew it in) that supposedly should have been a goal kick.

Hopefully not. Making good money on unders this season.

doncarlos

Dundalk were shocking tonight. Bray were hungrier and tactics were spot on.

Bit of a mini-crisis now. The impact of O'Donnell's injury cannot be overstated and Kenny will have his work cut out getting things right for Cork.

Paz-CCFC

Last minute at the Cross, ball crossed in, keeper comes for it, drops it, it's on the ground, our striker kicks it in from the ground, ref calls a free. Neil Doyle, top class refereeing as always.

Corholio

Hard to begrudge Bohs a point there tonight, absolutely awful weather but they were well set up, didn't get behind them too many times at all. Last 10 minutes they could have won it, hit the bar and had a few scrambles.

Jelle1880

****ing hell, pissing down in Cork

Good thing it has a roof :pac:

That disallowed goal was a joke, keeper simply spilled it, nothing to it.

I went "awwwwww" when it happened, everything that could possibly go wrong for the chap did. Lynch didnt even celebrate

After 10 we starting to get into gear(tonight aside) hitting a bit of form and team starting to play how it should. Think we will do just fine this season.

anncoates

Harpy with the 3 points but the conceded goals and penalties are a worry. League tight this year. Knew it was only a mater of time before Pats and Sligo got into gear.

overshoot

sounds like we were pretty bad tonight, mccarron back but keating out. cant catch a break with out strikers!

was wondering how long before Winn cost us with a howler tho....

Definite corner and the ball was bundled in from 5 yrds by players who wanted it more. Wind my hole :rolleyes:

Even 1st half and Youths dominated the 2nd half. Poor finishing by us and a scary one off our goal line.

Ref was terrible

Darkglasses

Wishful thinking from shels fans I'd say gavin. I had a good view of it, definite corner. Shels were completely outplayed regardless, could have easily been 3-0

Kinda glad I couldn't get down now! What's happened with Wexford since our first game against each other? We walked over yous in the first match in Tolka and have greatly improved, must have just been a bad day at the office.

That_Guy

By all accounts we the better in the team in the second half and could/should have won it. Happy with the draw away from home and hoping we can really push on.

Need to badly improve the home form next week V Derry.

thebuzz

Rovers have finally hit form now after the four defeats, will stroll to the title now.

ShamoBuc

Atrocious conditions down the X and what was worse was the refereeing decision to disallow a city goal in the 91st min - absolutely ridiculous in the extreme and cost us 2 points. Keeper drops a low cross - unchallenged - simple tap in, free out....utterly ridiculous decision. That said, Bohs had a rocket of a shot come back off the bar a minute beforehand and could easily have won it as they had the better of the second half.
Super crowd of 3711 given the rotten night.

The_Kew_Tour

That disallowed goal.

I cant stop laughing.

Ref bottled a clear as day goal as you will see.

Even the Bohs keeper did not protest.

Yeah ye didn't play anything like the game in Tolka. Wexford dominated the midfield, an extreme rarity for us.

CSF

We were terrible, Wexford well worth the win.

Fourth penalty in four games? And Doyle hasn't had a go yet to give one

I've no confidence in that defence to hold a one goal lead, far too panicky and willing to sit back.

Darkglasses

Probably means nothing to most of ye but I can't believe Youths are deservedly sitting second in the league right now. Would mean the world to me if we could have a go at the play offs.

It will be the undoing as well as the leaking of goals. Both centre halves got yellows again. I'd put Heaney in there and Byrne back on the left. Jay is all over the shop this season and think it affects Kenna.

Pighead

Robbie Benson's goal from this evening.

GLaDOS

Delighted with a point. Can we actually win at home next week against Derry?




No, guaranteed draw.
