1. ( 3) Shelbourne 9 5 2 2 17 - 9 17
2. ( 1) Bohemians 8 4 4 0 12 - 7 16
3. ( 5) St.Pats 9 4 2 3 7 - 8 14
4. ( 4) Shamrock 8 4 1 3 14 - 13 13
5. ( 8) Longford 9 2 5 2 8 - 10 11
6. ( 6) Derry 7 1 2 4 10 - 13 5
7. ( 2) Cork 8 1 2 5 9 - 17 5
8. (10) UCD 9 0 4 5 7 - 12 4
9. ( 9) Bray 8 1 1 6 6 - 17 4
10. ( 7) Drogheda 8 0 1 7 8 - 22 1


Doesn't look any better each week I look at it. Only Drogheda have conceded more than us. Continues to amaze me that Murphy who played most of his playing career as a defender or defensive midfielder can't teach his players to defend.

For anyone thats played CM, city remind me of the way your team plays if have then on attacking football all the time -> can destroy teams at home, alternatively on away games they'll almost always score but will lose heavily if they lose. ;)

btw most interesting thing is the number of times city unable to hold a lead or a draw on their away travels.

:rolleyes:

The hallmark of Murphy´s career as a manager has been a total inability to learn from mistakes :rolleyes: :mad:

Oh Jesus no. It'd be bad enough getting relegated but to still have to go to the Carlisle Grounds with that fúcking seagull there would be too much.

Is the Montrose on the opposite side of the dual carraigeway to Belfield?
Schumi

Yes, it's just the other side of the flyover into UCD.

How's the weather up that part of the world? is there likely to be a repeat of last weekend's postponements?

It's wet but it's nowhere near as bad as last week. I'd be surprised if the game is called off as even last week, the pitch was OK apparently.

Weather was ok for the last few days, but it has been peeing down today.

Maybe city might have the advantage with the normal wet weather traing routines they do?

I reckon that I might actually have jinxed us worse by predicting City to win 2-0. Still, only time will tell.
