Limerick Pats Bray win would make next week great craic for some teams.

Most of our first team is "injured" for tonight. Id imagine it will be pretty similar for Dundalk.

Finally make it to the playoffs, not even dfx notices

I am shocked and appalled.

Can honestly see the playoff tie being over by this evening. Don't think Benson will be back for tonight and we just lack any creativity without him in the side. Add to that the fact that Swan is in awful form at the moment and it points to an easy win for Harps.

Fully fit squad heading down. Last competitive game on grass before the cup final.

I hope your predictions come true but form doesnt always count for much in the playoffs.. and our record in them is appalling.
Anyway out of work, now to get down the road! Hopefully can turn this one into a home tie!

O Donnell won't be playing I'd imagine. If he's booked tonight, he would miss the final

True. It is a game for Shields anyway, as Cork's usual tactic is to try and kick Dundalk off the park.

Ah now, the last few games have been competitive with Dundalk being quite the better team in the end and we aren't close right now, don't know why always have to resort to 'Cork kicking us off the park'. That hasn't happened at all this season.

I suppose it's a fair enough mistake to make when you see Towell throwing himself on the ground every time a Cork player comes near him.

Not sure I will be going tonight after last weeks display. If they can't be bothered making an effort or playing a full team, I don't see why I should be bothered paying in or going.

Address him by his proper title ya little bollix.

If it wasn't for my season ticket I'd be seriously considering watching the Limerick game in the pub tonight. For the Dundalk lads, Cork is covered in a typically miserable bank holiday mist all day, the type of mist theres no getting away from and it will soak you no matter what.

I would but I got carded the last time I called Joey Barton by the same proper title.

Full strength side from Dundalk:

Rogers; Gannon, Gartland, Boyle, Massey; Shields, Towell; Mountney, Finn, Horgan; McMillan

Only O'Donnell left out, presumably due to the risk of a yellow card keeping him out of the cup final.

Darkglasses

Not sure Keith Fahey is the analyst Rte is looking for.

GLaDOS

Harps 1 up against UCD in the playoffs already

Zebra3

Limerick looking doomed.

Omackeral

Bloody mental up here at the Brandywell.

Halftime: Derry City 2-3 Bohemians

Oat23

WE'RE BEATING PATS!

The wedding crasher has scored again.

GLaDOS

Well in Dinny!

Win for us and Sligo gives us a chance of 4th next week.

Oat23

2-0 Rovers! Holy f*ck. :D

Barring some double digit scores next week, we're safe if scores stay like they are.

Drogs and Limerick both 2-0 down now.

AgileMyth

We'll be sending them all out playing Gah next season.

Fair play to him for coming off the bench and winning it for us, but he can head off back to Bohs now!

Probably the only 15 goal per season striker I will want my team to let go in my entire life.

GLaDOS

Lovely

To be going into the last game of the season with a genuine chance of europe is fantastic.

Pinturicchio

Peter Collins: "Keith, what will Limerick have to do to go to Sligo and win next week?"

Keith Fahey: "They'll have to score goals, keep a clean sheet and get a win obviously."


Thanks, Keith.

White Horse

Bohs for Europe?

BOHtox

Heard Dinny scored 1-4 tonight

dreamers75

Season end plz thx

Hammer Archer

Ugh, dominated most of that game but just lacked a finish. We looked so much better when Benson came on. Gives me a bit of encouragement for next week. Hopefully Benson and O'Conchubhair start and please let Swan be up front and not on the wing.

Saw the best piece of awful goalkeeping. O'Donnell inexplicably let a throw in bounce over his head. He was about to try to get a hand to it but pulled away at the last moment so it was rightly disallowed.

One point next week and Pats have the European spotted wrapped up.

Why would you jeopardise a substantial Euro bonus. That would actually be retarded.

Oddly seems to be only Dundalk fans who heard the rumour, we are cutting costs(100K) and investing in our youth teams. Shouldnt all teams be doing that? it is the actual point of the u19/17 league.

I wouldn't be at all suprised if they came away from the Showgrounds next week with all three points. I can't really see our lads breaking their bollix to get a result in that one. Conversely, I'd be amazed if Drogs get anything in tallaght. Then it's on to the playoffs.

And oh yeah, thanks for last night Dinny, now kindly fvck off.

So eh, town!got a bit ropey lookin last few months but looks like we could finish 6th now!successful season overall, our whole season was just about survival, and to prove, once and for all, we are far better in every way than athlone!

If limerick's defence and keeper is as bad next week as last night, you'll have the game handed to you.

Mushy

Delighted to be safe in all ways without kicking a ball last night. As for tonight, tbh I wouldn't be overly disappointed with a loss if it meant Galway stayed up too. Hope Limerick get a result next week to get at least a playoff spot.

major bill

Bray get the result tonight and next week is looking very interesting!!

A Full Jodi, Cork with their eye on the cup final, Pats needing a point in Galway against a side fighting relegation, ya know what Bohs might just get the 4th spot

Yea moment of ecstasy before realising no one had touched if from the throwin
It was a typical performance from us, sitting back when ahead, altho we still created as many goal scoring chances as ye. Still all to play for next week. Should be a great crowd.

Also your match programs need work...

With 200k at stake for Bohs and Pats, it's arguably bigger than the Cork Dundalk game last season.

Galway need a draw so do we.

I hope for both teams to kick off and just stay in their own half.

I would love the boring nil all draw, no attempt whatsoever to cross the halfway line from both sides just to annoy the Bohs lads.

We need a filth merchant in midfield, someone who actually misses every 6th game.

We too ****ing nice and soft.

Galway are pretty much safe anyway, baring a substantial swing in GD
