That's not a bad run in. I think City will need at least 20 pts out of 24 to have any chance.

After last weeks draw against UCD (for once we did not play that badly at Belfield) i think we would need to win all our remaining games giving us total of 64 points. As one of these is against Shels means they would need 16 points from the their remaining & games to beat us.

I think if we are honest 3rd place & Uefa Cup place would be satisfactory at this stage. Drogs have 9 games left but 3 are against Derry & 1 against Shels.

id expect Cork to beat us at the X.beat Pats aswell but will get bet by Shels and Derry,so no league win.

I'm a blind optimist and until it is absolutely mathematically impossible I will believe that there is a chance of CCFC winning the league.

Oh definately still in it Deoir but anything less than 20 points and it's not going to happen IMO. Even at that it's a tall order.

Lads take it one game at a time. Have to win tonight. Thats the most important game of the season so far.

Yep

Whatever about Derry away I cant see shels beating us at the X. They havnt beaten us anywhere in over 2 years(unless you count the goal that never was in the SC) and weve beaten them twice already at the cross this year.

Great result last night. Anyone at the game?

I would nominate Dan Murray for city player of the year even if he makes a few bad mistakes now and then.

Ya, you're right.
Gave him a bit of stick amongst the lads before for being clumsy but its only the very odd time.
Our Goals Against speaks for itself.
Sorry for doubting ya Dan.
