That's absolutely fair enough. We all see things differently.

Not that short though.

He was sold a hospital pass but he shouldn't have been in that position to receive that pass in the first place. Should have been further forward.

Possibly but I think it would be better for Janelt to be an option off the bench and to give Hickey more reps in that position. Anyway we will see.

I'd be tempted to play him again in that CDM role against Sunderland if he's fit enough to do so. Felt for him a bit today as he was thrown into an unfamiliar role but he was at fault for the Hull goal, as was Kelleher. He might still be a useful option in that role.

I think we would have lost that type of game a couple of seasons ago so I guess we can take the draw as progress of sorts. That being said we were dreadful in that first half. Midfield lacked creativity and guile and don't get me started on that moment of madness between Hickey and Kelleher...

I've not been there but I believe Oriel Park in Dundalk is a LOT worse.

Yes they do. The Dalymount project is due to start shortly so they'll be playing games elsewhere next season. Tolka Park is also due for improvement but generally the standard of facilities throughout the league are very poor.

Then there was only one. Shamrock Rovers dismissed already relegated Sligo Rovers 4-0 in Tallaght and Bohemians lose 1-0 at home in the Dublin derby against Shelbourne which meant Rovers wrapped up the title with a game to spare. Their 6th in 7 seasons. I think the feeling will be that Bohs and...

Not a huge surprise. Kazim-Richards did well to ensure their survival last season but they've been pretty dreadful for most of this season and their fans had turned on him.

Then there were 2. St Pats lost their game in hand tonight, 1-0 away in Derry, so they are virtually out of the title race. Patrick McClean (brother of James) was outstanding. His brother, who is still on Derry's books, was booed by a section of the home support this evening after some...

Indeed. A lot went on in that game so definitely worth a look. I only caught the last 10 minutes though as I was watching Kerry-Cork City

The title race that keeps on giving. Rovers lose 2-0 in Galway. Bohs win 2-1 and St Pats lose a local derby 2-1 at home to Shelbourne who scored with their only 2 shots on target. 2 games left for Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians. 3 for St Pats who play on Monday night. Oh yeah and in the 1st...

Big win for Shamrock Rovers in the title race tonight as they beat their local rivals Bohemians 2-1 in Tallaght. Feisty game and Rovers were definitely hanging on at the very end but they held out and move 6 points clear of Bohs and St Pats, who have a game in hand. I'd imagine Tallaght's...
