Folks, hello and welcome to tonight's late night league of Ireland with myself, Shane Keegan and Mr. Barry Baz Murphy. Barry, how are you keeping?
Not too bad, Shane. How's things?
All good, all good. I'll give a quick rundown of the scores, Bar, before we get straight into the meaty stuff. Really exciting night across the league. We're in across both divisions. I think we had 14 goals in the Premier Division and 14 goals in the First Division. So lots of really good talking points. Premier Division, we had a big win for Drogheda United. 1-0 victory at home to Derry City.
What were the highlights from the League of Ireland matches this week?
Equally a big win for Bohemians, badly needed. their current run of form 3-1 victory away to Dundalk again that seemed to swing on a red card Shamrock Rovers going west over to Galway and picking up a comprehensive 3-1 win over there the only Premier Division stalemate of the night was Shelburne 0 Sligo Rovers 0 and again another comprehensive win I suppose with St Pats who did of course go 1-0 down but roared back to win their game against Waterford 4-1 In the first division, our only other stalemate of the night at downtown at home to Treaty United was a nil-all draw. Bray Wanderers with a walloping 5-1 win over Cove Ramblers in the hunt for the promotion playoff spots. Cork City, a badly needed win, quelling the discontent down at Turner's Cross with a 3-1 win over their title contenders, I suppose it's fair to call them in UCD.
Finn Harps with a late, late show. A 1-0 win, picking up a goal in the 94th minute at home to Kerry. And a big win for Longford Town, who all of a sudden are looking like playoff contenders. A 2-1 win away to Wexford, a result they will be absolutely delighted with. So much going on, very hard to know where to start. The agenda will be set by yourselves as the callers. I see a couple of requests in already. Let me just touch base with Barr first and see where his eyes were tonight.
Yeah, Shane, I chose the wrong one. I was all eyes on Talcott Park, unfortunately. It's always the way, isn't it? It is, isn't it? And I stuck with it as well. I wanted to flick around and see the goals, but I was expecting goals in Talcott Park and they just never came. And to be fair, as Neil Alls go, it was actually quite entertaining, but I think hugely frustrating as well, Shane. Charles played some good stuff up until the final third but yeah just so blunt up top Ward was excellent he's a joy to watch every week but he was the only one really doing anything in the game trying to break that slug of defence down and You just look at the way Sly got set up and you're thinking, John Martin on your own up again.
Are we going to see the same stuff we see week in, week out at Talcott Park? An isolated centre forward. We just saw that. He had some good chances and it took really until Ali Koo came on after about 20 minutes. Jack Henry-Francis came off injured and Koot had two great chances in the first two minutes of being on. just so hard to break Sligo down McEwen and Manus just in that two in front of the back four and it just looked like Charles needed to take Lunny off they kind of played with Lunny and Kerr in the middle as well and it just felt like he needed to go to a 4-4-2 set up the way to play away from home and try and get goals that way they just didn't do it Meekison had a goal disallowed in the second half as well and you're thinking, Jesus, here we go again.
It's slow. Somebody's going to nick one after all the possession. I think it was 68% possession for Shells, 15 corners and, you know, he made a few saves, a few decent saves, Sgt. Bourne. You're looking back and you're going, they were comfortable. They were from good areas that Sligo were defending, just defending spaces. They never really broke them down. You're just thinking, You see Sean Boyd warm up on the sideline and you're thinking, great, he's going to come on with Martin up top.
