45' - Half Time - Half-time here in Tallaght. Rovers have been dominating so far, but with Pats due to play with the breeze in the second half this game is very much open.

Shamrock Rovers 0 - 0 St. Patrick's Athletic
42' - Pats have been very quiet in this half as Rovers dominate. Stephen Bradley has just hobbled off for some treatment after a hefty collision with a Pats player.

17' - Yellow Card - Pats' striker Alex Williams is booked.

15' - James Chambers misses a great oppertunity to put his side ahead. Through on goal, the midfielder strikes from the edge of the box and his shot skews wide of the left hand post. It's still all Rovers and the Tallaght defence have had very little to do.

Shamrock Rovers 0 - 0 St. Patrick's Athletic
12' - Pats are playing in a 4-5-1 formation with Alex Williams as the lone visiting striker. The Saints midfield is having to play very deep to deal with the Rovers attack.

7' - Rovers have started the brighter, all the action is taking place down in the Pats half as the home side look for an early goal. Gary Rogers has already had to make a couple of saves, relatively easy ones it must be said.

1' - First Half - The game is underway in Tallaght now.

Shamrock Rovers 0 - 0 St. Patrick's Athletic
0' - The teams are in for tonights Dublin derby. Speaking of derbies, has the Dublin derby lost it's appeal considering there are so many derbies this season. Let us know your views...

Shamrock Rovers 0 - 0 St. Patrick's Athletic
0' - Kick off delayed at Tallaght due to queues at turnstiles....Ten minute delay

Viewer Email - Eoin has dropped us a mail on the topic of derbies - Well the game is delayed due to congestion so I don't think it's lost it's appeal - good point, well made Eoin.

Viewer Email - Our first discussion question: Who will be the first manager to lose their jobs this season from either league?

Viewer Email - Stuart is quick off the draw tonight informing me that of course "Wasn’t Roddy the first??! ;o)". Did he technically go, seeing as the club went from under him first? But I'll give you that...so who will be the second manager to go .....
