League of Ireland

[From the Bunker]

As last night proved - games in hand does not mean points in hand.

Paddy Power has Derry 13/10, Shamrock Rovers 2/1, Shels 5/2, Pats 14/1, Galway 40/1, Sligo 80/1

[Truthsayer]

Derry home to Sligo on Monday and last game home to Shels. If they don't win it from here...

Been following the LoI for years and I have to stay the standard and facilities have improved greatly over the years.  Not least due to Friday night football and switching the league to the summer.  Not like the dinosaurs here in th North but that's a different discussion.

Anyways I'd be surprised if Rovers don't win it now.  She's and to a lesser extent Derry, have $hit the nest over the last month.  Rovers should take maximum points in their last 3 games against 3 of the bottom 4 although stranger things have happened.  If Derry n Sheks draw on the last day it'll hand the title to rovers.

I don't think it'll go down as an excellent season standard wise but it'll definitely go down as an exciting one

Just on that the st parse shelbourne game last week was one of the best I seen all season

Up the harps

I've had a look at some of the grounds on Google satellite and street view. Some of them look like something from the pre-Hillsborough era and look shockingly dated. Is there a plan to do a lot of rebuilding on any of them?

Derry def determined not to win the league. HT: 0-1 Sligo  RTE 2

Derry 1-0 down at HT. 9/4 to win game is excellent odds.

Not the way they're playing. Sligo more likely to get a second goal

[Truthsayer]

Spoke too soon!... 1-1 OG...

[Gael85]

Spoke too soon!... 1-1 OG...

Only one winner now. Sligo failed to kill Derry with a second goal.

Could go either way.. Derry very poor

[Truthsayer]

Very poor from Derry. Jammy og saved them. Sligo better team for last 15 mins with 10 men. Is terrible this year.. top 3 teams have failed to win 19/20 of their 33 games.

Exciting few games last night but ultimately they all won.  Big goal for rovers as a draw would have screwed them.  At one point I thought pats were going to be right in there.  I really can't see derry beating pats or shelbourne now.  I think rovers have it

[From the Bunker]

Shamrock Rovers 6/4

Shelbourne   15/8

Derry City   2/1

St Patrick's Athletic 12/1

[Truthsayer]

Is hard to have sympathy for Derry City. League was there for the taking but 2 wins in last 10 league games...

[An Watcher]

Brutal, they had a real chance this year as rovers standard had dropped.  The last few seasons they were getting 70 pts, close to 80 in one season.  This year they'll finish on 61 if they win their last 2 games.

2 pts from 2 home games against bohemians and sligo.  Poor

[Truthsayer]

Carl Frampton hard to listen to, on about Larne the only team in 'our country' to compete in this competition.. maybe should look at what comes out of the opposition dressingroom tonight. G'luck to Shamrock Rovers!
