League of Ireland Fixtures Week 21

Late 'n' lazy fixtures thread




Bohs missing most of our defence, but Derry can't score anyway.

Hammer Archer

UCD are letting anyone with a ticket from Thursday's Slovan game in for free on Sunday evening. Hoping we can hang on to a couple of the newcomers from the last 2 home games.

NIMAN

Can't see anything but a Bohs victory.

Saw that. Good move. People love free stuff! It'd hook me anyways if I was nearby, though I'm an easy hook for that kind of thing. Be interesting to see the attendance now.


Pretty positive of a Galway win tonight. 3-0 I'll say. Not basing that on anything, just got that feeling deep in my belly. Treat me for my b-day.

I'll watch Sligo on Setanta since I have the evening off but in all seriousness...they were woeful in their last game, not able to take a chance if it killed them - and against 10 men too! Maybe tonight they'll do a bit better, even if them getting a result would kill my five team accumulator

Good stuff. I think might i head out to that.

Bohs 3-0 up here.

Laying a whupping on Derry.

Izzy for the 3rd was immense.

Edit: 4-0 now...

Athlone who have been poison lately are 2 up against in form Wexford. Hopefully Shels can capitalise.

Waterford score against Shels and Athlone have a man sent off as I type. I'll just shut up now.

Bloody hell, Sligo's defending is awful. They keep giving the ball away.

They also keep letting pats get a run. Forrester has just walzed past more than one defender. Amazed it's scoreless

Will most likely be in England soon enough I would think. Very good player.

In the middle of a relegation battle and our top scorer takes the day off to go to a wedding. Just f*ck off, Dinny. What a waster.

Unless he was the one getting married and the f*cking pope was officiating, he has no excuse for that. I can't believe the club allowed it.

Finding it very hard to go these days. This isn't my first relegation battle, but this squad and management (not Ndo, above him) are making it very hard for me to get behind them.

bohsman

Some difference from Dean Kelly who missed his sisters wedding to sit on the bench against Rovers before coming on to win the game for Bohs.

NIMAN

We are an embarrassment.

What garbage are you talking sir, your comments are most offensive and I ask that they be withdrawn at once

dinny is a hero, a hero to sligos working class, what he sacrificed for the club is unmountable , if he wants to go off wedding crashing the night of a game so be it and I say more power to the bhoy.... He can do what he likes he's the daddy of the garvogue

It's no secret it's no secret I've said it before Dinny Corcoran has to be best player in world at moment heads and shoulders above the rest, he can do what he likes he's Fit as a fiddle since moving to the west I have it on good authority that he only eats raw mackerel caught from the garavogue river in Sligo with the occasional handful of macadamia nut

Oh no doubt if he keeps progressing the way he is. He was part of our very good U-19 side last year that won the league so there's a good few young players coming up alongside the likes of Sean Hoare and Lee Desmond at the back already in the first team. (Hoare will play for Ireland one day).

I just hope we get two or three years out of McGrath before he moves. It would be good for young players to play a few seasons in the LOI before moving across the water.

You's are in some disarray alright. I can't believe how bad you's are at the back. That's something Sligo need to sort out before anything else.

I do hope you's pull it around. A club like Sligo should be up towards the top of the table.

If thats true about Dinny Corcaran then he shouldn't be paid his wages for the week and he should also be fined by Sligo and maybe even sacked.it's sh1t stories like this that drag the league down to laughing stock level!!

dfx-

Who did worse...Derry 4-0 down inside 20 minutes or Sligo 0-3 at home...

Bray clinch another huge win..

GLaDOS

Was an odd game in Dalymount, we probably only had 4 chances all game and put them all away. Derry created a fair few decent opportunities and with decent finishing could have gotten back into things.

Another injury for us tonight, we're fúcked if we have to go to Cork with Jayo leading the line.

They hit the woodwork 3 times and scored twice. Scoreline flattered us a bit, everything we hit went in in the first 20 mins. A weird game alright.

Tbh it would not have been hard to argue Derry getting a draw, we were awful in the 2nd half.

Thought I was seeing things when wearen came on. Should really try keep more up to date.

Conclusive proof of what a relegation season can do to a man.

ah now if i read correctly somewhere else it was a family wedding!
one of our players is getting married this weekend and has 2 players as groomsmen... still more pissed about the 2 penos he gave away v shels than leaving us down 3 this weekend!

Fine and sack an employee for taking annual leave as sanctioned by the employer?

pmasterson95

Sligo would be worse off without Corcoran. Calling him to be sacked due to having a life outside the club is OTT.

irish_goat

Derry gave away some awful goals, particularly the 2nd one which was pretty much scored straight after we kicked off. As others have said, we hit the woodwork 3 times and created a fair few chances, probably could have scraped a draw in the 2nd half. In saying that, Bohs turned off after the 4th goal so they could have probably come back into it if they needed to.

Disappointed we were stuck in the stand behind the net despite other Derry fans being allowed in the main stand as well. Always enjoy going to Dalymount and having the craic in the social before the match (plus it puts a few more quid in your tills). The stewards also didn't allow us to go over and get food from the chippy van at half time, which puts Bohs in breach of their license.

While I don't agree with the calls of the two people on here to sack him, we are talking about a full time professional footballer missing a game to go to a wedding.

This isn't Sunday league football. 'Having a life outside the club' isn't an excuse for him missing a game. He should have been there.

I would happily ship him (and Nielsen) out if it meant we had the funds to bring in someone like Elding, who would actually want to be here and want to play. Not f*ck off to a mate's wedding on the day of a game while his team are left with two U19s starting up front.

You'd want to be sure of gettin in the replacement. Corcorans attitude could certainly be questioned/criticised but I dont think Sligo are in the position to do without his ability.

AgileMyth

Elding would sign for us tomorrow and he's better than Corcoran.

dreamers75

Shouldnt have taken us an hour to score our 1st goal, few sligo people saying Peers is off to us. Dont think we need him tbh.

Mushy

Top half of the table, albeit temporary place. Can only laugh, a 4th win in a row, another cleansheet...dream stuff when you ignore the off-field stuff!

Browne going but in fairness every window he is going, Cork this time. If he does I could see Peers coming in. Desmond and Hoare unlikely to be longterm pats players.

kksaints

Good win for us last night. Took a while to score but when we did it was very comfortable from there on. McGrath is very talented and took his goal really well. O'Brien was back to his high standards and Forrester was super in the 2nd half. Ian Morris looks useful enough.

Sligo are in big trouble. What was Cretaro doing playing as part of what looked like a back three? The amount of young players they had was very high and there was nothing on the bench. Someone was telling me at the match about Peers being linked to us and Corcoran to Longford. Could be a very long run in for them.

Omackeral

Shamrock Rovers 4-1 Limerick.
Limerick are still looking for their first win of the season. That's got to be one of the worst performances ever over a year? Awful carry on. Not looking good for them.

Dundalk 1-1 Cork City 70' mins played
Towell with a peno and Mark O Sullivan to even it up.

gimmick

Happy with that draw. We got nothing from Dundalk last year and had we drawn with them just once we were champions. So this is progress.

The_Kew_Tour

Will take that, especially away from Pitch.

It's the club that sacked their manager more times than Bohs sold Dalymount, so why not? :pac:

Hammer Archer

Good to see Finn Harps' policy of diving, mouthing off and generally kicking everything that moves is still in operation. 7 bookings for them throughout the game (including one second yellow) and they were very lucky not to have at least one more red card.
Delighted with the win. Bit sluggish for long periods but that was to be expected given that it's the first league game in a month. We really should be looking to put a good few past Cabinteely next Friday.

Yep, they're a very physical side (and with little else going for them) to be polite about it.

Being really found out now.

I think both teams would have taken it.

Cork were fantastic in the first half and had us pinned back and well worth a draw if not more at halftime. I have no idea why, but Cork dropped the intensity bigtime in the second half and let Dundalk get back into the match. I honestly thought that Cork were going to beat us as we looked jaded and they were knocking the ball about like I've never seen from this Cork side. They dropped back and Dundalk had a lot more of the ball and looked a far better side and finished the game very strong. Overall a draw was a very fair result.

Really let off the hook by Cork though and they won't have a better opportunity to beat us.

Jeez, seven yellows and a red

Will Finn Harps get a fine from the league over this?

teams get a fine for every card issued, im sure there is an added bonus for that though. i dread to think how much we have paid out over the last 2 years. Discipline is shocking. Few suspensions on the way now too.

with little else we have going for us it says a lot about the division that we are still top. Id put my money on UCD long run though.

If they bring in a couple of players after that European run, they should win it.
