    Bit of a nothing to lose situation.

    Actually looking forward to the match weirdly enough.

    A draw would be massive for us, fingers well and truly crossed results go our way elsewhere.

    Can't see us getting anything in Inchicore, I'd take a draw right now!

    We could still play some part to prevent St.Pats are winning the league :pac:

    Routine win for us I expect, no fuss.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Dundalk vs Sligo sounds nice as well. Hope for a routine home win without fuss :D

    And we can hopefully play a part in relegating Shels as well as boosting our title chances.

    Could be a potential banana skin coming off the tough run of games we've had recently.

    I really never thought Paddy Madden would become an Irish international.

    Imagine if I'd told you in 2010 that Conor Sammon and Paddy Madden would be Ireland's strikers and Kevin Doyle wouldn't have made the squad

    If we give away stupid goals like we did last night it could be a great night for Dundalk fans.

    If we play to our potential, as we have all of about four times this season, we'll beat them and become the main challengers for the title.

    The likely outcome is Pats win and we draw. Leaving them a nice handy run in.

    And if you told me it in 2013 I'd still tell you its mental. Whatever about Madden, Conor Sammon is not a footballer. Never mind an Ireland international.

    Delighted to see Seamie captain the team for a bit. Many more in the future for him I'm sure.

    I still dont think Madden or Sammon would make much a big difference to most teams in the league. Certainly the latter wouldnt start for the top 5/6.

    Madden probably would start but dont think he'd stand out overly much. Had a super season last year, but still...dont see it.

    Can't say I agree with you here at all. There is no striker in the league with a fraction of the ability of Madden. The chap has developed so much from what he was when he left Ireland. Goal machine.

    He got a lot of grief from Bohs fans. Much of it OTT.

    But Jesus some of his misses for us were horrendous. Genuinely surprised he made it as an international though.
    Fair play to the lad though.

    If both teams play to our potential, it could go either way

    We do seem to raise our game against you lot. Any sort of win against anyone will do at this rate!

    I think a lot of the grief was because him starting with Byrne meant Quigley was on the wing and Cretaro on the bench. Both were far better options at that point in time and Madden never really did enough to justify being picked ahead of them.

    two away wins all season and very few points against the bottom four added to a soft underbelly when behind...Bohs must win..

    Expect a mid 3 of Maher Brennan and Bolger, rest of the team picks itself.

    Not his fault to be fair, and he did score a few goals when we were struggling otherwise to put the ball in the net.

    If we can have Kenny sacked, we'll sure as hell give it a go in getting Croly sacked. :pac:
