I'm glad its on Friday. Friday's suit City better. With the Uefa and Intertoto Cup places confirmed, Bohs might sit back on Friday, cause I don't think a Dublin team would want another Dublin team to win the league and I'd say Pats will go all out to beat Shels in their last home game of he season. Who n=knows. Its never over til its over.

I was in Slovenia last year when 3 seperate teams in 3 seperate matches could win the title. They didn't stick with any one game, they kind of kept switching between what was interesting. Perhaps that would be fairer than only covering Shels.

Fairer and much more expencive. Do RTE have enough cameras to give good coverage for two matches? I'd cost them a bit anyway.

Yet another game on TV this season, good news yet again. Lets hope it's a good one.

I'ld say it'll be ****e to be honest. Cork-Bohs would've been much better, it's hard to decide what to do though. They probably just went with Shels cause we're the more famous.

They went with Shels because we have the advantage going into the last day and so are favourites to win the league. Doesn't mean we will but we're favourites, in any league with any team in the same position this match would be the one televised, as it is in Shels own hands which isn't the case with Cork who can win 15-0 and still lose the league. It's the obvious choice to televise, espically given the rivalry between the two teams in it. It may or may not be pretty but it'll more than likely be very bloody dramatic anyway.
