Greatest League in the World 2025 [LOI Thread]

Derry can win it with picking up 7 points as they have a better goal difference than Rovers

My bad, you're right. If Rovers draw tonight and Shels and Derry win Rovers are out of it.

Definitely not an RH fanboy, over his 3 years we should have been looking at 3 league titles, but in each season we've imploded at some stage of the season over the course of 9-10 games, and that's on the manager and the players

Definitely think we've hammer the Drogs in the final, but don't ask me about the next 3 matches as I haven't a clue #RAWA

Good response by Shels anyway, howler by defender

Looked like a Waterford player nudged a Shels player into the Waterford player, a strange one ?

Good response by Shels, terrible defending by Waterford player, similar to goal under 21's conceded last week.

Cracking 3rd for Shels

How has the ref allowed those last two corners be taken like that. Ball about half a meter away from the area.

If you're talking about the handball claim then shtopppp. There was a foul on Keohane in the following attack not given but that's one of those things.

Pats Derry draw next week please

Really good game in United Park.

Rovers, as you would expect, were the better team but we gave them a really good game and it took a worldy to win it.

Looking at the teams, I think only DJT from our squad would make their bench but we matched them for effort throughout.

Catching Bohs is gone now and that might suit Shels next week as we're missing players and I wouldn't be risking more with the cup final and play-off to come.

Fair review. I thought once Galway scored the equaliser which was an excellent strike, we got a shock and kicked on and were in control for most of the rest of the match until the very last few minutes when Galway threw everything at us. First half was very tight and a quality pass by Forrester which set up Keena for our first was the only difference between the two sides. Forrester and Keena were excellent tonight, both involved in the goals and Keena was excellent as the lone front man. Our defence was really good for the most part also. Galway weren't bad it has to be said and Hickey is a very difficult player to stop as he's both good in the air and skilful with the ball.

Other results didn't go our way for the title shot but it's still crucial to guarantee European football as much as possible. Huge match next week against Derry particularly as Mulraney and Elbouzedi both went off injured.

Agree on Keena, he'd a very good game. Didn't turn up the last time we played ye but he looked a different player tonight.

In fairness to Doyle i thought he had a good game too. Let the game flow and the foul on Keohane late on was the only thing he missed all night.

Yeah I'd agree with that, I never felt we'd lose in the second half but it was difficult for us to find an opening against them, they were content to sit back and do nothing at all.

Burt's goal was magic all the same. Proper release of tension.
