THE BUS LOADS of Cork City fans who travelled to Dublin yesterday in the hope of seeing their team crowned champions were denied a title-winning party.
Bohemians held the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division leaders to a 0-0 draw at Dalymount Park, and with Dundalk winning at home to Bray, the Leesiders must still pick up one more point from their three remaining matches.
“In the first half, we did well,” Sadlier told The42 last night. “We had chances and started really well, but in the second half we didn’t really perform.
“Overall, we’re a point closer and it will be nice to win it back at home.”
The visitors had a clear penalty waved away midway through the first half when Bohs goalkeeper Shane Supple brought down Karl Sheppard inside the area.
“It looked one [a stonewall penalty] from where I was as well,” Sadlier added. “You get some decisions and not others but that’s the game.”

On Monday night, John Caulfield’s side host Derry City at Turner’s Cross — where they just need to avoid defeat — and Sadlier is confident they can finally wrap up the league.
“If you look at the bigger picture, it was a hard place to come but we had a great following here again tonight,” he said.
It would be great to win it at home on Monday. The way it’s turned out, we only need a point but we want to go and get three.”
Since arriving from Sligo Rovers in July, former Ireland U21 international Sadier has slotted into the team well and made 10 league appearances.
“It took me a few weeks to settle but I’m really enjoying my football now,” the ex-West Ham academy player added.

thank god for that
Estonia please, i wouldnt fancy getting the others
Does this mean that UEFA count us as ‘heavy hitters’? ;) Seriously though, this is great news, I wouldn’t fancy having to play any of those teams with they way we’re playing at the moment.
Wouldn’t write out Estonia though William. They beat N. Ireland 4-1 a few weeks ago. They’d only love to do the same to the South, I’m sure!
Ah yes, the formidable Northern Ireland. One of the top teams in Europe to be sure! ;)
Fingers crossed we can dodge Turkey. We should be able to handle the rest.
Though, we should also be able to put more than 2 past Andorra and not rely on the referee to beat Armenia…
That was the jammyiest game we ever won!
