I get worse at this every year so might as well really embarrass myself and predict a calamitous collapse for Dundalk. Filipo being the second manager sacked because all the teams from 2-6 are tightly bunched for a good bit of the season so he gets a bit of time.

Wanted to put Dundalk lower but through a combination of their squad depth and not trusting us or Sligo to be good enough for varying reasons to properly capitalise I think they'll hang on. Once again happy to have been roped into being semi-confident in us getting Europe again by winning pre-season, looking forward to the warm feeling of disappointment.

Unfortunately you’ll lose on a technicality as he’s not a manager!

[sbgawa]

Stewards enquiry called.
Dundalk had a Press conference to announce he was no longer the manager and Shane Keegan was in.
I'm calling this a moral victory.
When you get as few predictions right as i have both here and in the predictions league over the years its important to fight for them all ;);)

Rovers/Longford joke aside I managed to get the bottom 4 all correct which I’m pretty happy with. I think Dundalk threw a spanner in the works for most so bar that and Bohs' bad start in the league (just the first 36 games) I didn’t do badly predictions wise in the Premier. First Division as mad as ever
