There must be a little pain deep inside that you will never acknowledge when you realize that the vast majority of casual users here are reading that and confusedly thinking, didn't they play each other last Friday?

copy and paste from livescore, usually let the sligo fans post their game and the shels post that other league.

stovelid

Good chance to pull away the night with the others hopefully dropping points over the weekend.

Which just means a dour 0-1 defeat to UCD of course.

The Volt

Hoping to see a few goals at Tallaght tonight and put the pressure back on the other sides around us

born2bwild

Gonna head up to Hunky Dory's - I reckon Drogheda will take them. Dundalk have been destroyed by injuries and Drogheda are gelling lately.

Well, I'm fairly sure Derry will show up. Pat's...?

Derry is 3.5 hours by bus... Ukraine is 3.5 hours by plane....

I guess negotiations for appearance fees and expenses will go down to the wire.

Saturday game means I can actually get to a decent away game for a change

They all got paid they always do, its the wanting stuff they aint entitled to and then threatening an illegal strike thats leaving a sour taste.

Reckon the Louth derby could be a cracker tonight. We are in savage form at the minute, playing some lovely ball. And D*ndalk try and play a bit as well I suppose
A win, and a UCD loss at Rovers, and we overtake the students... 2-1 Drogs!

Gavinsfc

Must win for Shels tomorrow!

The two games against UCDD so far have been difficult until the first goal, especially in Tallaght where they should've been at least 0-1 up and then three goals in five minutes. Tight game at Belfield until the first goal and red card..

If the first goal goes in, I'd hope Rovers can break in a few goals which hasn't bee nhappening a lot recently.

Shels are seven points clear! Not exactly a must win situation!

First of two Louth derbies this month being played this evening. Tough game to call. Drogs way better now than they were a couple of months ago. Funnily enough their turnaround started with a win over our boys in Oriel Park a while back.

Old Dundalk boy Tiernan Mulvenna playing some great stuff for them. If he keeps this up he'll be back to his spiritual home within a year or two.

Reckon it'll be a 1-1 draw tonight. We're not playing great in fairness. We've been drawing the majority of our away games lately.

Gotta get losing out of our system, and with 2 weeks without a League match after tomorrow we need a win imo.

Shelbourne FC are delighted to announce the signing of 22 year old Brazilian striker David Da Silva from Birkirkara FC Malta where he scored in this year's Europa League preliminary round.
David goes straight into the squad for tomorrow night's game against Longford Town.

As long as he works out better than our last South American import.

Hands up who remembers Juan Sara?

Don't worry Cork, Birmingham had a similar blip the week after a giantkilling in a cup final too.

Jaysus four goals in eight minutes for Rovers.

It was Limerick that we beat in the cup semi-final, wouldn't consider them giants, but they are more important to a national league than the likes of Shels / UCD.

Yeah they'll probably go up with us in 2nd spot.

Mushy

4-0 to Bray, finally some points. Helped with Galway having 10 men for the whole match.

Galway team, feel sorry for them. Their number 10 doesnt help them at all. Two great one-on-one stops from each keeper.

So glad to have Quigley back in goals, irs been too long.

applehunter

Sucker punched at the Cross.

The Shed end in the middle of the "ponzon" celebration when Wexford equalised.

Fecking edjits.

Daryl Horgan was amazing. Best player to play for City since George O'Callaghan.

Derek O'Brien would want to cop on. Can't react to his own supporters like he did tonight.

What sort of fan would want his own club to throw a match? We couldn't give a ****e about anyone else's results tbh, we just have to look after our own, need to do better than tonight though.

A fan who is joking would do such a despicable thing. We've still 5 games left after Limerick like.

It's all well and good Rovers getting 6 tonight but will they improve on their one solitary goal in Europe this season?

First half of the Rovers game was probably the worst 45 minutes of football I've sat through. The 6 goals in the second half only just about made up for it.

Hear, Hear. UCD were well in it but collapsed entirely after the first goal

Was a great match, yeah. Dundalk didn't really deserve a point. Still Jayo Byrne does sfa for the whole match then produces a little touch of genius.

Ah I dunno, they were the better team for the first 20 minutes and saw enough of the ball in the 2nd half to merit a point. Still though, could have went either way.

Was a fantastic finish from Byrne alright.

Great to hear. He'll tear the premier apart next year.

He took a low percentage pile driver that managed to go into the opposing stand along the sidelines.

It was a the wrong option.

Cue the voices of frustration from the stands. Jokingly someone started a "What the f****** hell was that" chant.

Derek was not to happy with this and proceeded to give the cold stare to the crowd and I presume cursed under his breath.

He's been playing long enough to realise you just get on with it.

Thought he actually put in some cracking crosses tonight but our strikers did not convert. But he then ran out of steam and was slow to get back for the last 20 minutes.

Have a feeling Paul Cook won't be letting us have him anyway.

I know its only the 1st division but you can just see the way he plays the game that he is an exceptional talent.

Players like him a few and far between.

All three games against UCD have been tight for nearly 165 minutes at 0-0, then 15 goals scored in the other 100 minutes. UCD were fine until the first goal again. The first half was not good.

Mouth-piece, started full forward but dropped back a bit. Either big frame or carrying a few pounds. Bit of a chancer really.

Think its Enda Curren.

Poor result tonight, pity we couldn't hang on for 3pts against our 'bogey' team - plenty of more points to play for but 2 most certainly dropped tonight.
