It’s getting harder to keep up with all the matches happening in the LOI, but at least match day 8 (in review) was a good one as another 4 predictions out of 5 were on the button. Although I was way off the the one that was incorrect with Bohs getting beaten by Derry City, could anyone have seen that coming ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The running total is 17 out of 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now in to match day 9 predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder is Finn Harps early season bubble about to burst with Derry catching them ? All the pointers are towards a Derry City win so will go for a Derry win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
