LOI this week

dreamers75

FT Athlone Town 0 - 3 Dundalk
FT Bohemian FC 2 - 2 Sligo Rovers
FT Derry City 1 - 2 Limerick
FT Drogheda United 2 - 3 St. Patrick's Athletic :o:o:o
FT UCD 0 - 4 Cork City
FT Shamrock Rovers 1 - 0 Bray Wanderers

Missed the 1st goal but when i did get in was told we dominated drogs then sat off and let them into it, they scored a cracker to go ahead. Then with 1 minute to go scored a cracking diving header to level and in ET left Fagan free on the edge of the box one on one.

They should have won or at least got a draw simply for attacking well but made mistakes and were punished at the death.

We officially not champions anymore

Great night for Dundalk.Pat Hoban breaks Peter Hanrahan's league goal scoring record for us 19 >18 with his brace tonight.Dundalk hit 70 league goals and close in on the record of 73 currently held jointly by Sligo & Cork. Stephen O'Donnell returns as a second half sub & most importantly we move Three points closer to the title!
As John Gill famously once said "pressure! what pressure?pressure is for tyres"
Huge game now in OP on Monday v Shamrock Rovers(live on RTE2 @7.O5PM BTW) Dundalk within sniffing distance of a 10th league title

dfx-

Half decent game in the end in Tallaght when Scully was brought off and Hughes came on. Should've been more for Rovers, Cassidy should've equalised. Awful turgid first hour or so.

Rovers will need to raise their game considerably to help their new found Cork United North Terrace Section fan club on monday.

In fairness it was a 50/50 game until the Red Card..We were poor, but a wins a win

Hoban is far better than Fagan...don't forget Hoban missed a lot of league games around time we were in Europe!

If we win Monday it's over IMO! Rovers won't be coming to lie down anyway..

Far Better! Hoban has shown over last 2 months, since he has been fully fit, thats he is the best number 9 about..

Top scorer (No Pens) and missed a good month of the season with an operationy

Fagan has had the best forward thinking midfielders in the league serving him ball all year too! Fahey, Brennan and Bolger!! Better than Meenan, Towell and Horgan (we are still told they are)

For anyone to get top scorer without penalties is very impressive.

Delighted with the win last night. Was more worried about last nights game than either Rovers or Bray next week. We can actually lose our next two matches and still win the league but i think we can wrap it up at the seaside next week. I'd say we will bring over a thousand to Bray.

Hoban for me is the best in the league. Such a great all round game. Can play the lone striker and hold the ball up. Very strong in the air. Scores all types of goals. Headers, fox in the box finishing and even strikes from outside the box. Wouldn't swap him. Roll on Monday.

Fagan doesnt take penos Brennan and Byrne do. Fagan links all our play together hence why I think he is the best in the league.

I suppose whichever player goes to a higher standard is the best.

Both are fabulous players at this level. I'm not sure if both could play at a higher level. I see Hoban more often and he lacks a yard of pace and could be more mobile. I wonder whether he has bulked up too much.

Nice early start tomorrow for a meaningless game in Cobh...

Looking at that last night and UCD have conceded 71 goals, 1 less than Dundalk scored all season. Rovers goal scoring is shocking only Finn that I can see on the list, Same for Sligo considering they have North.

Its not up to date but ****ing hell Conan Byrne is outstanding for us, thats a stupid amount of goals for a midfielder.

Went into livescore to see what Euro games are on today if any...

Shels are imploding down in Cobh. 2-0 down after 21 mins. 2 goals in 4 minutes.

Galway are leading Wexford 1-0, so they are in second place as it stands.

May be much of a muchness, but it decides home advantage in the second leg of the playoff.

Live table.

Edit: And Rovers B have taken 6th off Waterford, for now.
