Pighead

Dundalk play their biggest game in 5 years tomorrow when they travel west to Galway in a game that will be crucial to both sides title aspirations.A draw helps nobody except Rovers so it should be a cracking game.Galway are unbeaten at home all season and Dundalk are unbeaten in 19 games. The irresistable Force V The Immovable Object if you will.

Even though Pigheads from Dundalk there shan't be any bias in my prediction, I reckon it'll end 4-0 to D'Town! Nah only messing, however I do reckon Dundalk could nick this and extend the longest unbeaten record in the country. The teams have played 3 times this season and Dundalk have won two and the other game ended in a draw.

Philly Hughes scored both those winners and the divisions top scorer has 6 goals in his last 3 games. The lads a legend. Anyway hopefully it'll be a cracking game and Pigheads praying the lilywhites can sneak a result. I'm going for a 1-0 away win. C'MON THE TOWN!

Dundalk to win @ 11/5
Dundalk 1-0 @15/2
Cover bet 2-2 @14/1

A big game in the Randy Brandywell tomorrow. If Drogheda can take a point home they'll be my second favourite team ever! Although, if Quigley has another 6 goal shocker against us, he'll be my favourite person ever! Never confident going to Belfield, but reckon we'll win by 2! Well, hope/pray!

Fancy Bray and Sligo to get a draw each.

Shels odds-on favourites tomorrow, but I'm hugely nervous.

These title run-ins really do take years off your life.

odds on is right
UCD are 4 -1 which is massive for a home team

Dagnabit, I'm in work tonight.

Hopefully we'll get a repeat of the Six Nil Joey Ndo Magic Show against UCD. I hope Glen Crowe plays, because since his injury Jason Byrne hasn't been up to speed.

Think Derry, Cork and Shels will all win tonight.

The other 2 its hard to have a firm opinion on.

Not looking too rosy down at the Cross. Talks of going back to part-time soccer and contracts are being let run out.

We may have pro players but we have been amateur off the pitch for too long.:(

What Pighead is from the promised land(i.e Dundalk)? Well you learn some new everyday!!

Yeah I had to hide from the Shed Tours today or else I would have gotten my head handed to me for not going to Galway(I didnt fancy the 8 hours on the bus)

What a night for Shels.

Derry again fail to overcome Drogheda, leaving a six point gap at the top of the table.

Derry City play Shels, at the Brandywell on Tuesday night, I'd love a draw, but a win and I'd wet my pants.

They still have a game in hand though, but our goal difference is far superior.

Pat Dolan obviously. And If I have to go into the reasons with a Pats fan, well I give up. There is so many untold tales which need telling its not funny. Unfortunately here is not the place.

I went to work after that, so bloody happy!

Gutted, but credit to Dundalk, fantastic on the night.
hopefully we'll pick up the pieces next week.
terrific athmosphere, 8 coaches from Dundalk, another full house.

We're smoking. :cool:

And hopefully still will be by Tuesday night 21:45.

It was nice of everyone not to notice/mention the glaring dates error in the original post. Of course it should have read 20-21/10/06.
Perhaps a mod could fix it so it doesn't cause confusion for the hordes of boards.ie-ers who read it this week and decide to venture out to a national league game.

For the record, I thought Derry were unlucky.
And, since they fine and ban anything else that moves, there should be a league committee set up especially to punish the negativity that Drogs bring to the game.
