Relegation Showdown

[ATFC-1887]

It was good while it lasted....

Hard luck to Athlone. They just ran out of time. Interesting developments in Bray. If they still owe money from 2013 and no agreement in place then should Bray be deducted points before the promotion/relegation play off. Technically its cheating and Athlone who have played by the rules are being punished

IF Bray happened to go bust, what would happen. Would Galway get promoted or would we stay up. Or would either happen?

Athlone and Longford is a straight swap right? So Bray being absent would benefit losers of UCD/Galway I imagine.

If UCD lost Id imagine that would be the case but technically Athlone finished higher up the league pyramid than Galway so would they take back their place? I thought that's how it worked maybe im wrong.

Correct

Going to head over to this should be an interesting game, think the first leg will be tight.I'm not too familiar with Galway's team but UCD are capable on their day, if the first leg is a draw it will put Galway in the driving seat.

Pineapple Stu, will Benson and Creevy miss the first match through suspension after picking up their 4th yellows of the season a week or 2 back?

[pineapple stu]

No idea I'm afraid.

But unless it's been announced already, I don't see that there'll be another disciplinary panel meeting between now and tomorrow evening.

Confirmed now on ucdsoccer.com. Both players are suspended for the first leg with dean Clarke also missing through injury.

[pineapple stu]

That's a blow.

Clarke has been out all season in fairness; not an issue.

One of our better players all season, Ayman Ben Mohamed, turned up for the recent colours match playing for Trinity. Has changed college without telling anyone at the club. Was promptly dropped for last Friday, and I doubt he'll be playing tomorrow either. (He also shipped more than his fair share of kicks in the match too, so not as if he'd be at full fitness either)

[Charlie Darwin]

That's a bit mental. As in he's changed his degree and everything?

[pineapple stu]

So far as I'm aware, yep.
