Tough one for us up in Derry. Will Dundalk suffer from a European Hangover?

Ugggghh ahhhggghhhh...

Blaaaaaurrrggghhh......

I think that's a good description of our second half display against Sligo.

Mushy

Superb performance and win by GUFC, we were superb all over the pitch.

Our new striker any good? Scored a few mins after coming off the bench.

Decent draw for us up in the Brandywell. Derry apperantly had most of the play but we held on for a good point.

Hammer Archer

Limerick were a minute away from losing their unbeaten record.

Deserved win for us at Shels even if we scored from a free that was never a free in a million years. Officials made some ridiculous decisions in our favour throughout (for once). Can't see it being anyone except ourselves and Drogheda in the playoff now.

I wouldn't be raving about him, but there wasn't much football played really after a certain point in the game. I thought Adebayo-Rowling was superb tonight though, he'd be my man of the match. Russell and Martin quite good too.

Next week vs Wexford is huge... lose and I fear it is all over

Tobi was playing out of position at left back too I read on our forum? He's usually at right back, but I think our other new signing (McCann) was playing there tonight. Tobi has improved every week since the start of the season. Very happy we have given him a new deal through 2017 already.

Snap. Tonight was a real horror.

Yeah he was at left full and McCann at RB, I'd assumed A-R was a natural left back. Lovely player I thought, constantly making himself available and able to do everything. Very jealous.

Rovers going 3-5-2 tonight, interesting in the use of Madden and Trevor Clarke, but a very dodgy defence that would've been taken apart by better sides. I think Cornwall is a particularly weak link. I don't trust his judgement, he gets beaten easily.

Longford really did nothing, a well worked goal but two incredibly soft goals given away. They don't seem to be having a Limerick-style catastrophe, but they're almost sleepwalking into relegation.

Bohemians 2 Finn Harps 0

Bohs poor for first hour, raised the tempo for last half hour scoring twice and playing some decent football

Limerick were blessed especially considering Drogheda wasted a 4 on 2 break away to make it 4-2 with just a few minutes left

Have to wait until UCD to be officially crowned champions if UCD and Drogheda draw next week.

A good few tourists from Europe where in the singing section having some craic. At least two of them bought new jerseys in the club shop and where leading sing-songs in the bar at half time. We always seem to get a handful of these loons from time to time. It's great! Any other clubs see a passing tourist trade?

We had a few German tourists at our game against Athlone last week. Why they'd want to put themselves through that on their holidays, I've no idea.

Used to down in Tolka but we're struggling to get a passing local trade at this stage.

Captain Havoc

Groundhopping is a thing in Germany.

City need to be getting 6 points this week, cannot leave opportunities like this get a way

Gavin "shels"

Counting down the weeks until this season is over...

Cork 0-2 Sligo ht.

McNulty is dreadful at clearing the ball. The goal he gifted Sadlier hasn't been his only botched clearance in the first 45!

Delighted with the current score though. 3 points at the cross would be magnificent if we can keep it going in the second half.

SteelyDanJalapeno

Lucky we have Grimes just waiting to step up now, Nults got away with it too many times this year, blamed Bolger then for not coming too him

Pighead

Oh dear. That's a major fcuk up by Cork. Huge chance to put the pressure on the Champs and they blow it.

White Horse

Cork are getting battered by their fans on social media. They seem to forget that they were heroes last week.

It's not easy getting over a defeat in Europe.

Having said that, Caulfield's team selection seemed very confusing. The 38 year old new centre back must be "one for the future".

The_Kew_Tour

Wasted 5-6 chances in 2nd half. Very wasteful. We blew great chance.

Alfa Quadrifoglio

Dundalk great opportunity to go 9 points clear tomorrow night against Bray. Sligo improving but didnt think they cost Cork their unbeaten home record
