got to love the FAI, I get finish all the first division games at the same time, but to have 4 clubs that usually play Friday at home & move them to Saturday & up against NZ/France in the rugby world cup.... :rolleyes:

Ah least there seems to be a good Youths crowd coming... third year in a row welcoming the champions on the last day. Who do we bribe so we are home to ourselves next year?

50 on the supporters bus, more travelling by car. All overnighting in Ballybofey, along with 34 players, coaches and staff

1st home game in 50 days and I cant make it (10 of our last 14 away) and RTE show it.....expecting massive crowd.

Pats Drogs match is a pretty good watch.

farna_boy

City are too busy thinking of the cup final apparently to be bothered focusing on the mundane matter of tonight's ****ing match. Totally asleep and look like they couldn't be arsed

Mars Bar

You're battling relegation and that's the kind of tackle you put in?! Lovely penalty. Now if Galway could take the lead, that would be great.

SantryRed

The ineptness of Neil Doyle will never surprise me. He's basically robbed Drogheda of a goal there with that ridiculous free kick.

Mars Bar

Drogs score

Tomagotchye

Just turned it on. Useless defending. Open header, on the 1 yard line so to speak? Terrible

Ronan|Raven

YES, YES AND ****ING YES!

Massive result.

Dundalk and Cork doing us no favours. Cheers Pats. Getting tighter at the bottom every week!

Mushy

Jesus these next few weeks will kill me.

Pighead

Pretty dire game in Oriel tonight. Few changes for us and we looked a bit disjointed in the final third. We had the ball for most of the night and hit the post twice but Galway defended well for the most part and will be delighted with their point. Drogs V Longford next week should be a cracker for the neutrals.

dreamers75

Oddly entertaining match tonight, New St Pats taking shape nicely.

Annoys me to think about what could have been had Fagan been fit for the season, shame to see him with another LOI team next year. Easily best striker in the league.

Drosg keeper easily winning Player of the season imo, every week he pulls that **** off.

You on a wind up or is he genuinely moving? Dundalk or Rovers would kill for a player of his quality

Unlikely to be with Pats next year, can only see Dundalk or Rovers affording him. Hope its england tho

If Rovers and Limerick and Sligo win tonight, it will be a fun end to the season.

Mushy

Delighted!

Sigh....such a soft equaliser again.

Oat23

What a joke we have become. Played off the pitch by a bunch of part timers with nothing left to play for.

We deserve our fate. Limerick will overtake us on the final day after a comfortable win. Our only hope is Drogs losing to Longford and Shams, leaving us with a playoff, in which I wouldn't be confident either.

Derry did us & Drogs a huge favour tonight.

Pighead

Had a couple of hours to kill this evening in Dublin so went to the Shels game. Their number 4 (Robbo, I think they were calling him) played like Franz Beckenbaur in the first half. Looked really composed at the back and hit about five raking crossfield fifty yard passes that found their man every time. Looks a really good player. Decent enough game. Wonder if any premier division clubs are sniffing after him.

Shels should have scored four or five while Cobh missed a peno. Poor Shels number 10 got dogs abuse all evening from the home crowd and reacted in the second half which made things worse.

Was English not number 10? Class player, very popular.

I don't know what his name was to be honest. He was getting stick for not winning any of his headers when the ball was hit up to him. Was about seven or eight lads in the main stand giving him grief and he eventually turned around and told them to fcuk off. Your wee number 12 looked tidy when he came on. Grimes I think.

dreamers75

Who or what is this Shels you speak off?

Omackeral

They're the Pride of Ringsend and Dublin's undisputed No.5

Darkglasses

Got a well-deserved pasting off Finn Harps last night, by far the better team that day. BJ Banda looked excellent, far ahead of most his age.

Very nice of Ollie Horgan to come into the hotel bar with the Youths supporters afterwards to say hello. Youths players also made a presentation to the fans of a wooden version of the crest signed by all the players.

Best of luck to all in the playoffs.

You'll know all about team in 2017. You'll also be acquainted with strange beasts that go by the names of Cabinteely, Waterford and Cobh Ramblers. Poor Pats.

cheers lad, hopefully see ye next year! Crowd was a bit disappointing tonight tho. Badly missed our drummers! Ye were in fine voice.
Was Banda's home debut, still only 17. Got him from Letterkenny Rovers for the u19s. We have a good coach in there who has really attracted in some good players. He is definitely a real talent, made a joke to one of the lads before the game that overhaul Tagbos scoring for the year! Half way there now, why didnt i put money on it!

the new Pats...

Derry are the first team of the bottom bunch to be mathematically safe with the win.

dreamers75

Uh Huh current Under 19 champions, currently top of both under 17 and 19 leagues.

We be grand.

Ridiculous that our match this weekend was played last night instead of Friday.

At least it's another season we survived....

I'm guessing most of those u19 champions will be first teamers next year after the winter exodus so we'll be seeing a lot of them in 2016.

our worst attended game of the season by 55 (and thats nearly 100 off the next worst)... mind just boggles! 4 teams that play friday games and stick them up against the world cup. All they had to do was move our kick off up 15mins and all the games would have started at the same time

Yup not really an exodus thos, few players time to move so on they will move.

Gonna need a striker tho, other than that fairly decent team.

I don't think Drogheda will pick up another point and would probably lose the playoff, them and Limerick are probably gone.

It would be slightly amusing after all these years if Rovers were denied a clear penalty by a Dublin referee for Drogheda to stay up at Sligo's expense.

osarusan

Limerick are losing momentum, and the players are just tired.

If we play like we did against Derry, we'll get nothing out of Rovers.

And given how we have played on the two occasions we've had a chance to get off the bottom (Bray away and Derry home) I wouldn't fancy much out of a trip to Sligo.

Drogheda might well not get another point though, so there is still hope.
