Uh, doesn't Jade Goody already not exist?

**Mr A** · 07/11/2009, 3:10 PM

Indeed. As is right and proper.

**dahamsta** · 07/11/2009, 3:13 PM

Harsh but fair.

There's probably still a few bits left.

I imagine the photo must've been taking earlier in the season or last season.

I think the importance of this game is even greater than we can make out as a result of the Derry decision. Also for the sake of the LOI I hope we end up in the Prem. Boy are we and it missed!

Do another First Division team have to come up or do you have to play a PD team first before promotion?

The winners of this match still have to play a premier division team but if Derry are relegated, it'll be, arguably, a weaker premier team than it would have been otherwise.

Thanks and by the way, best of luck in the Premier next year, you're one of the only proper run clubs in the league

Picture is from the league cup match in 2008.

Its good to get a couple of positive results to end the season with a bit of confidence so hopefully we will be up for it on tuesday now.

I hope Shels go up. They have gone about things the right way since they had their troubles and are still a fairly big club support-wise. Fair play to Fingal for their professional set-up and all, but I just think Shels would add something to the Premier Division, and Fingal maybe ned more time to grow organically as a club. Mind you, they'd be challengers next year if they went up!

Should be a close game.

Nerves are at me already, this will be a big one alright! Hopefully Dermo picks the right squad. Hoping for a big crowd, make some noise to get behind the Reds.

Anyone know if Darren Quigley still available for Fingal with Derry's troubles and was his loan extended beyond the end of the regular season. If he is not available he would be a huge loss.

**Buile Shuibhne** · 09/11/2009, 9:29 AM

Was Darren Quigley on a dual contract with Derry and will he now be suspended?

The Irish Independent understands that officials in Abbotstown became aware of the discrepancies when they were handling an issue related to the loan move of goalkeeper Darren Quigley from the Northerners to Sporting Fingal.

Bit of a blow for Shels. Quigley's a good attacking outlet for youz.

Even Dublin City had more. They had a football background and genesis in Home Farm.
Franchise came from nothing and have nothing.

Apart from our games against Bohs, Rovers and Pats i really can't remember an away crowd bigger than 70/100 in the Carlisle this season, and i would say we have only brough 70/100 plus to away games on 2 occasions. Away support for most clubs in the League is quite poor in fairness.
