The Airtricity Premier League point Gods are teasing Sligo Rovers - making us suffer in Ballybofey but offering hope by condemning Derry in Drogheda but we're running out of road.

Over the 31 games played this season to date, the Bit O'Red have been in third position for 23 of them No one does third place like Rovers. But with 1st and 2nd wrapped up, can we take the title of undisputed champions of third place?

With just 5 games left, a doubleheader at home this weekend [Drogs on Friday and relegated Longford on Monday] we're really at the business end of things.

This week the lads look back on Ballybofey in the rain and take a positive approach to the run-in. And they'll stay positive if we can return 6 points by Monday bedtime.

Thanks, as always, to the White Hag Brewing Company.

There's no doubt about it - the Bit O'Red are displaying relegation form. With each game that passes more questions than answers come to the fore. That the club continues to hold on to 3rd position in the Leauge table says a lot about the standard of the teams. Yet, since the middle of July, the club has only recorded two wins in 14 games.

With six games left the team seems listless the management appear out of ideas. Episode 46 mulls over this vortex of vexation.

Brought to you as always with The White Hag Brewing Company

They're saying nobody wants 3rd place in the League... We bloody do!

It's a marathon, not a sprint and any good jockey will say winning is about coming good at the right time. With the season's final furlong is in sight, are Rovers coming good at the right time?

With two consecutive wins in the bag and Shams arriving into town on Saturday can Rovers making things interesting at the top of the table and claim 3 points?

Episode 41 is packed! We're still warm from the glow of our visit to The Whtie Hiag in Ballymote on Saturday. The big news from the #BitORed this week is the intention to enter a senior women's team in the Women's National League.

Sure, if you won every week it'd be boring!

The pod goes deep on the latest Rovers set-back, this time against Derry City.... but it's not all bad. We saw a greater effort, a goal, outstanding performances from centre-halves our centre-halves and there's a new signing in the shape of former SV Werder Bremen attacker Melvyn Lorenzen.
