    Long has done a fantastic job at Bohs and his effort to save Athlone the other season was so nearly epic. As I noted in my programme preview for the Pats v Bohs game on Saturday, it would be interesting to see what he could do with a bigger budget.

    Caulfield's football at Cork is fairly basic but it's hard to argue with five successive top two finishes- only the fifth club ever to do that! They're unlucky to have run into what is probably the strongest team in the history of the League of Ireland. Each of the last five seasons they've been 10-30 points clear of third.

    They were hopelessly out of sorts in Europe, but any modicum of success in Europe is a bonus rather than a requirement. They've had an uncharacteristic flop the last few weeks though, 1 point from 12 when they normally average over 2.5 points per game against not-Dundalk, and there are rumours of discontent in the camp. Still, he's safe in his job for another season at the very least.

    You have to snigger at the Cork fans calling for Caulfield's head though

    Dundalk lead Derry city 3.0 at ht in Dundalks game in hand,I may as well congratulate Seand on the league win. While it's not mathematically over Dundalk are 12 points clear with 4 games to play and with a 27 goal better goal difference that'd be some comeback by Cork

    Dundalk win 1.0 and virtually clinch the title,Bray lose 0.2 to Limerick and are virtually relegated. So with four games left to play everything except the final European place is done and dusted. Only the cup semi-finals and final and the promotion/relegation play offs are left to provide any excitement.

    Ht in Cork v Dundalk in what could be a league decider,Dundalk lead 1.0 and look comfortable with it tbh, if it stays the same Dundalk will be 9 points clear with a game in hand and a plus 16 goal difference and Cork will only have four games left to play, so they really need to get their act together in the second half

    I was at the Dundalk v Cork Presidents Cup earlier in the year and I was quite impressed at the standard of football from both sides.
    They're 10th, so the last time above the relegation play-off - mind you, see Motherwell are in a similar boat, so should be relatively even.

    Jesus,Damien Delaney was rank for Cork last night, it's hard to believe he was a premier league regular last season,apart from the og he also gave away the ball for the third goal and for the other two, Bohs discovered the easiest way to goal was running straight at him,biggest cheer from the Cork fans came when I announced his substitution at half-time,also good to see Cork keeper doing the Lorus Karius patented swig of water when I let in a stupid goal

    Hypothetically, if the keeper had been able to dive to push it away, would it only be an indirect free kick?

    Meanwhile, a 4-2 win for Bohs over Cork leaves Dundalk six points clear, but now with a game in hand, and only five matches remain for the Turners' Cross outfit.

    UCD have been officially promoted back to the Premier Division, following a 1-1 draw at home to title rivals Finn Harps. They will replace either Limerick or Bray, the only two clubs who can be automatically relegated.

    FAI Cup first round this weekend. There are two all junior club ties meaning at least two will make it through to the second round. Of particular is Inchicore Athletic 'hosting' St. Pats at Richmond Park on Friday.

    I see Institute are sharing the Brandywell with Derry City so,fixtures permitting,it will be possible to watch two premier league teams from two different countries in the same ground over the same weekend

    The FAI have now confirmed that they will put up the full amount for the fund, and that any club dipping into the fund will be docked six points and banned from signing new players, with the amount drawn from the fund to be repaid before the end of the season or there'll be 'other sanctions'.
