Matchday 5

My Predictions:

Bray Wanderers 1-2 Finn Harps
Cork City 2-0 UCD
Drogheda United 2-0 Galway United
St Patrick's Athletic 2-1 Derry City
Shamrock Rovers 1-1 Bohemians
Sligo Rovers 2-0 Cobh Ramblers

More interesting matches this week, Pats v Derry should be a cracking game, both sides still unbeaten and an early battle between the two most impressive teams so far. Shamrock Rvs v Bohs should be good as well, Rovers are still only semi-pro yet keep punching well above their weight while Bohs havent been great so far.

As for Harps, away at Bray this week. Bray havent even scored yet but they have to eventually so we have to be careful. Both teams will think they can win it but Im confident Harps can get a result

My Predictions:

Bray Wanderers 1-1 Finn Harps
Cork City 2-0 UCD
Drogheda United 1-0 Galway United
St Patrick's Athletic 0-1 Derry City
Shamrock Rovers 1-2 Bohemians
Sligo Rovers 1-1 Cobh Ramblers

Bray Wanderers 1 - 2 Finn Harps
Cork City 2 - 0 UCD

Hey Con - there was a site that you gave me ages ago that allowed me to watch 1 game a week via a stream - do you still have it/remember what it was because i've lost it?

Yeah its www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/ireland

Theres a weekly highlights programme this season as well, updated every Monday & shows all Premier League games... www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/mns

As for the results...

Bray Wanderers 1-0 Finn Harps
Cork City 1-0 UCD
Drogheda United 1-0 Galway United
St Patrick's Athletic 0-1 Derry City
Shamrock Rovers 0-1 Bohemians
Sligo Rovers 3-1 Cobh Ramblers

Bit of a disaster for Harps, really disappointed with the result. Yes its away from home but Bray are the sort of team we should be beating, it was a terrible performance as well which is the most worrying thing. At least if we played well there'd be something to take from the game but its not looking great now with 2 tough games coming up.

Great result for Derry as well, I didnt expect them to be up there this season but if their results so far are anything to go by theyre going to be serious title challengers

Cheers buddy.

Shamrock have started better away from home - are they still playing home games at a neutral ground?

they sure are.playing at tolka park.this is there last season though.

Yeah theyve finally got the legal stuff sorted out with their new stadium, supposed to be moving in next year

Heard Derry won comfortably and could have won by even more. Owen Morrison's goal was apparantly a peach too

Yeah I dont know how they keep getting results. Theres teams - like Pats - that have much stronger squads but they keep getting results. Obviously its only early yet but you never know..
