    The worrying thing for Fingal is what will happen if they don't achieve promotion this season. Will the plug be pulled?

    I'm guessing the amount they're spending on wages is more than about 50% of Premier Division clubs. I'd also wonder how they're staying within the 65% limit on expenditure.

    To be fair crowds have been bigger than I thought they'd be but I can't help feeling they could turn out to be another Dublin City.
    I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"

    Most yeah, I'm a jolly kinda guy. And my point was that most other teams don't have that quality of defender anyway and still dont concede 4 goals at home.

    Yes but that still doesnt take away from the fact we where missing 3 of our best defenders
    any team would miss their 3 best defenders especially when a fullback(who is 5 foot 8) has to play in the centre of defense. Anyway i still think we would have lost the game with or without our injuries. The margin would have been less

    Not sure what result I'd like for this game. Suppose I'd be glad of a draw with us winning at home to Wexford.

    Haven't seen Fingal play yet this season but from what i'm hearing they better show they want it a bit more in games or UCD will beat them.

    To be honest, saying which side looked best when you saw them having mainly all only played each other once is a bit mad. We're in the First Division, results are all that count, Cobh Ramblers were not a particularly impressive side, nor were Dundalk. If you're looking for the most impressive side, in a win, it'll probably always be Fingal, but if they screw it by not being bothered in every game, then its irrelevant, and thats whats happened so far. Shels have probably been the least impressive in their games this season, but at the moment are probably in the best position to win this league. Just off the 2 at the top, with a more in depth squad to last the season, without the problems that seem to be arising at Fingal. As I've said, before though, I reckon one of the other 3 will prove able to finish the race, and we'll finish 2nd, couldn't say who though.

    It was a good result, but not a good performance. If Fingal keep playing like that, they won't win the league anyway. Still a poor side for what's out on the pitch and what's being spent.

    I predicted a while back that the number of chances we miss would come back to haunt us. No goals in three games now; Killer's on two in nine, Dave Mac on none in the same time. Need to get back scoring goals. Monaghan, Harps, Arklow and Kildare next up; hopefully we'll get back on form there.

    According to shels fans who went to the game Fingal were appalling. Bodes well. If we weren't so bloody bad as well.

    Having seen all the top 4 teams play this season at least once Waterford look the best IMO. Was not at Shels Wexford game last week but by all reports Shels where very poor even Keely had some choice words in a post match interview on supporters club website.

    UCD looked to reliant on one player and it was just something about Fingal players body language that put me off when I have seen them this year

    Tonight I realised we actually are going to win this league, we keep grinding these wins out of nowhere, god knows what we'll be like, when we actually start playing to our ability.

    Shels could have finished the game in the first half, they let Mons back into it in the second half and looked very jittery defending a one goal lead. Flood ran his socks off though, even when he was left holding the ball up with little support when Shels were holding onto the one goal lead. Took his (deserved) goal well.

    Also, Bermingham's was a nice piece of skill.

    This game at home to Waterford is big now. A win next Friday would leave us in a very strong position. As CSF said we will start playing well eventually so the fact that were keeping pace so far is cause for optimism. Id take a play off spot without a doubt but who knows if we can keep grinding out these wins we have a shout at winning the division

    Yeah, it really is getting annoying now!

    I still think that even if someone loses next week in tolka, there's still plenty of time left to recover from it. Should be a good game though, can't wait. We still need to beat Wexford tommorrow first to stay move 3 points clear, but it is gona be a tricky game.
    I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.
