Iād say it being a Monday might actually help the crowd seeing as their is fuck all else on, and as you say there should be a bit of a buzz created by such an exciting game on TV.

Couldnāt make it tonight. Christ my heart though, following Limerick FC is not good for your ticker. Will the full game be up on RTE Player? Really thought Rovers would screw us over tonight but fair play they did us a favour, which is more than can be said for our Munster neighbours in recent weeks.
I agree that Kanyuke is a joke - good in the air but a liability with ball at his feet. Hall & Lynch have contributed much more to this team since signing in the summer. I canāt really understand why Paudie O Connor hasnāt gotten a look-in recently. Clarke, Faherty, Turner and Duggan have all been a revelation in since July.
A roadtrip to Ballybofey next Friday @dodgy_keeper??
Just back from The Showgrounds.
Left Sligo at 11.05pm, home at 3.23am after a couple of detours to facilitate my well oiled passengers on the way home. Bit of a dose being the designated driver but didnāt mind the way things turned outā¦!
What a night. Unreal, unbelievable. Absolute magic. Itās Roy of the Rovers stuff. Bottom since the first game of the season and scrape out at the final game. 200 odd days bottom ffs. Didnāt win even one of the first 21 games in a 33 game league.
Letās hope we can finish the job next week. Iāll probably be a mug and drive to Donegal next Friday.
Bedlam at full time. Hugging strangers. Myself and pat Sullivan had an emotional embrace (Pat doesnāt know me from Adam). Well I say embrace - it was more me jumping up on him. Ah you had to be there. The man is a legend.
Thank you Nutsy Fenlon. Brilliant reaction in the away end as each Rovers goal went in up in Tallaght.
Anyway Iām off to bed. Minor B hurling county final for our lads at 1.15pm in Bruff so the show goes on.
We are staying up!
U-13ās in the county final today too.
Itās like the Barcelona youth academy, conveyor belt of talent.
glad we could help

Shams were playing for second place and were very close to getting it until Cork scored a late penalty in Dalymount. I donāt know why these Muldoons thought you would throw the game.
Will tickets be on sale in Gleesons on Monday?
Nope. All tickets on sale from the Marketās Field only.
I am going to this game, handy walk for me and Iāve been inspired by that performance against Sligo and DKās post above.
Would be confident enough of getting over Finn Harps, over two legs a Premier Division side should (fingers crossed) have too much for them. Away goals donāt count I think.
Should be close to a sellout. As long as the curse of @TreatyStones doesnāt strike again we should be ok.
Despite all the talk of being able to absorb relegation etc if they go down it would set the thing back years.
Will either of these games be live on TV? Had a quick look at Setanta Irelandās schedule for Monday and it aināt on
We are staying up DK, Iāll meet you for a pint before the game in the square bar.
Once weāve our league status secured we can discuss TJ
We will win if we donāt shoot ourselves in the foot at the back. We seem incapable of keeping a clean sheet though. Donāt know much about Harps but if theyāve anyone half useful up front then there is every likelihood they could sneak more than one goal over the 2 legs.
We need to do an Ireland v Estonia on this. Smash them on Monday so the second leg will be a forgone conclusion. Harps will have a very sizeable and vocal crowd next Friday if the game is still in the balance after the 1st leg.
I think we will do it but I wouldnāt be over confident either. Would have much preferred UCD
Yeah a decent lead is necessary going up there.
Been bad at the back all year long. Conceded more than 70 goals in 33 league games.
Strangely enough we were even worse at the start of the season. Freddy Hall was the difference in reaching a playoff. He offers a presence in goal at least.
Donāt think either leg is on tv.
