Don't think he will ever get sufficient abuse but yes I was impressed with how many different ways the rovers fans could incorporate the word rapist into a chant. Even heard two kids shouting 'paedo' at him

What happened to all the crowds that were flooding in when yous were walking the 1st Div?

Really thought Waterford would have fallen away by now. Looks like they are really going to challenge. Rarely am I happy to see Shamrock score but last night I was.

Happy enough with the 0-0 in Derry. With Bray next week that should get us back to winning ways and hopefully boost our gd a touch.

If Waterford recruit good in the summer can see them being within touching distance at the season's end, they'll lose Duffus and the keeper whose probably the best keeper in the league.

From reports was a typical Limerick performance last night, playing well but lacking goals. Good to the young lads getting praise, they'll make up even more of next year's squad. No attendance given but from estimates it was around 560 with 50 away fans.

They dwindled slowly over a number of years in the lower division. There was about 2000 at the first game v Kildare County. Our home crowds didn't drop dramatically over the space of a couple of weeks. Attendances were lower due to a lack of away fans. Gradually the crowds dropped off as we struggled to get out of the division and in recent years some fans boycotted the club as they didn't like the way it was run.

So, that's what happened.

Caufield will as usual set the team up to score first and then go ultra defensive after going 1 up....

Happy enough with the draw in the end up in Tallaght .. Blues should have been out of sight at HT.. All Rovers in last 20 mins after the equaliser.
Great Away support, 500 + Blues there .

Cobh v Dundalk

justshane · 13-05-2018 11:59pm

Hopefully Cobh can get a crowd for this one, if they can't for a semi final v Dundalk they've no hope.

More so the Guards stopped a bus load of their fans away from the stadium.

Really looking forward to the Dundalk game at the Brandywell tonight, should be a good 'un.

osarusan · 14-05-2018 9:31am

Limerick's failure to convert their chances costs us yet again - final score could have been about 4-4, but Pats eventually took one of theirs, and we didn't.

Probably one of our best performances of the season, and the pitch was much much better too.

With the PL over.

It is a real shame that this game is not live on TV.

No games announced live for the next few months/weeks.
Happens every year when the GAA returns.

Nice to see Cobh get rewarded with a big game for doing so well in making the semi-finals.

Two points thrown away by the blues tonight. Ridiculous bit of play for the penalty right at the death.

NIMAN · 14-05-2018 11:12pm

Dundalk taught us a lesson tonight.

We played decent enough football, but the big difference was the forward lines. They had 3 fast, moving players. We had Patterson with his aging legs acting as a hold up man. Curtis came into it more in the second half but was generally ineffectual on the wing. Might have been better up top instead of Patterson.

Very impressed with Dundalk. Michael Duffy a joy to watch. Best player I have watched at the Brandywell this season.

MD1990 · 15-05-2018 8:44am

Duffy is the best player in the league.

Dundalk should be trying to get him a new deal but I think there will be a lot of interest in him.

Omackeral wrote: »

Yes.

When we have McEleney off to Oldham, Curtis on the verge of a move to Portsmouth, then Duffy should be also playing in England somewhere. Easily.

Nah, leave it. Distinguishes it from lesser leagues in UK, Spain etc. :pac:

joeysoap · 15-05-2018 11:45am

Interesting though that Derry are selling Curtis and perhaps McEneff but Dundalk are unlikely to part with players mid season and if Duffy doesn’t sign a new contract it’s likely he will go on a freebie. It was heartening to see 3 ‘youngsters’ on last week and play in Kennys style.

The hashtag was started as a positive thing, but it is rarely used other than to be sarcastic.

2-0 win for us against Sligo. 3 wins in a row. Looking quite good for us atm although the next 3 matches are huge.

How did Byrne play?

Looked v good for Ireland 19s last year.

Only streamed this so I can't really say but looked useful when he came on against Bohs and Rovers. Can play up front and on the wing. Seems fairly mad also which every team needs.

Dundalk will be in the running for the league. The extra earnings from Champions league can potentially dwarf the pittance they'd get for selling him mid-season. Derry won't win it, so makes sense to cash in.

wadacrack · 16-05-2018 12:26pm

Byrne is very good for Pats. Has a bif of an edge to him too in a good way as long as he dosent get a red. Looks a much better option than Keegan and Fagan. Pats mushing up the table good to see a young side playing good football doing well.

NIMAN · 16-05-2018 12:34pm

To be fair the top 6 that I have watched live this season all try to play good football.

Its refreshing to watch.

I wouldn't include Cork in that.

Style of play very poor to watch.

You see I had heard that, and I had seen their more physical and direct game over recent seasons, but they played the ball on the deck at the Brandywell last Friday night, so I thought maybe they had changed?

That was probably our best football performance this season in that way I would say. We have played football quite a bit this season despite what some think about us having only one 'style', we just haven't played that well in quite a few of the games and the football hasn't clicked between the midfield and Cummins especially.
