Good man WAR, another chuckle you've given me. You do realise Gerry Mulvey doesn't actually play for us, don't you? :D

*Only if we hit the ground running and get a good start out of a very tough opening, we need to gel a new team together very fast and a few decent resulots at the start of the season is needed if this is to happen.

Cheers. A bit of advice though, it helps not to take this crap seriously. ;)
I rate Gareth Cronin very highly and I like the look of his signings - can't say the same for Longford, Galway and Sligo though.

KOH

[NY Hoop]

Can't really argue with that.

I'd have us at 6th rather than 8th though. Off field will say a lot again though.

KOH

[Hulsey]

After these posts I guarantee that Bray will now move up in the subsequent predictions!

Pats are sh!t by the way...I'd be happy with top half!!;)

Now your talking a bit of sense :D

[Pablo]

Now we've signed Neil Horgan back, as well as Healy, Murphy, Ryan, Farelly and Kearney i reckon we'll be very close.

Roy O' Donovan and the Fit again John O'Flynn will terrorise defences

[Dodge]

If O'Flynn plays more than 10 games Cork have a chance.

[pineapple stu]

I'd have us at 6th rather than 8th though. Off field will say a lot again though.

KOH
I was taking it that the clubs in the same bracket wuold be pretty much interchangeable. So (and I'm too lazy to look back at my original post), that's put youz, like us, somewhere between 6th and 8th.

[micls]

If O'Flynn plays more than 10 games Cork have a chance.


Thats pretty much it. Il take that though, a few weeks ago we'd completely written ourselves off so its a step forward.

[GalwayFrancis]

nice to see no one put us down to come last!

[Conor H]

You've just asked for it!

6 Shamrock Rovers
7 UCD

9 Sligo
10 Bray
11 Galway

If we get a bit of luck with injuries we wont have a bad side. The squad is a little thin though

[Sonic]

1. Derry
2. Drogheda
3. Cork
4 Bohs
5 Pats
6 Sligo Rovs
7 Longford
8 UCD
9 Shams
10 Bray
11 Galway
12 Waterford


I really dunno why you all think we are down. I actually think we av got rid of the passengers within our squad and replaced them with solid players. Anyone who watched us last year will know dean and davy were crap 4 us all year, Danny and murph were our worst defenders and kirby while he gt player of the year i dont rate him that highly. He has a poor delivery can be tricky with the ball at his feet tho. Think rutherford could be a threat for us nxt season. In any case i expect us to comfortably stay up!!

[RockofGibraltar]

A little over optimistic dont u think


Danny and murph were our worst defenders and kirby while he gt player of the year i dont rate him that highly. He has a poor delivery can be tricky with the ball at his feet tho.

Danny was our best defender last season and kirby was the only player who had even a half decent season last season and i expect him to flourish this season with a good st.pats team

[superblues]

1)Derry
2)Drogs
3)Pats
4)Cork
5)Bohs
6)Sligo
7)Galway
8)Rovers
9)UCD
10)Blues
11)Longford
12)Bray

Some people are being blinded a bit by the love of there team. I mean if you cant realistically pick who will be in the top 5 ya have no chance. A few put in Shams and UCD????? Even im being a bit optimistic but thats just wrong!!!!

[Sonic]

A little over optimistic dont u think

Maybe so but im still not convinced about kirby tbh. Anyway rumours that paisley is on his way now have changed things. If he goes we really are in the sh1t. We are low enuf on numbers as it is.

[McShels]

1. Cork
2. Drogs
3. Derry
4. Bohs
5. Pats
6. Rovers
7. Sligo
8. UCD
9. Longford
10. Galway
11. Bray
12. Waterford

IF Cork get clearance to play Healy & Farrelly from the start of the season then I think they will win it, otherwise I think it will be Drogheda with Derry 2nd and Cork 3rd

[BohsPartisan]

Did you bot see Farrelly "playing" for us over the last couple of seasons. What makes you think he'll do any better at Cork?

[McShels]

Yea I Dis see him play and I do think he is a good player and I always thought he played well for Bohs before he became manager.

[BohsPartisan]

Yea I Dis see him play and I do think he is a good player and I always thought he played well for Bohs before he became manager.
:eek:

eh, he didn't play for Bohs before he became manager!

He's lazy pure and simple. Has some talent but doesn't use it. Couldn't get a contract with Blackpool for this very reason!

[Student Mullet]

Do you really fancy longford to finsh ahead of Galway? I'd be really surprised if they did to be honestI have the teams grouped and the bottom three could finish in any order. I picked Longford ahead of Galway on the basis that they have some players I've heard of and I don't think Galway have any (unless Fran Carter is still on the go).

[Gaillimh Al]

You've only heard of Super Fran, who's now gone. Unbelievable

O'Flynn from Derry
Goalkeeper Rogers from Drogheda
Alan Murphy
Wes Charles (St Vincents and Grenadine international)
Cleary from the Claddagh.

Household names.

[BohsPartisan]

Goalkeeper Rogers from Drogheda


He was at Bray last.

[Gaillimh Al]

I know that but he spent 3 seasons as first choice for Drogheda so that's maybe where people might well know him from.

[Student Mullet]

You've only heard of Super Fran, who's now gone. Unbelievable

O'Flynn from Derry
Goalkeeper Rogers from Drogheda
Alan Murphy
Wes Charles (St Vincents and Grenadine international)
Cleary from the Claddagh.

Household names.Is that the Alan Murphy who was at Drogheda a few years back? Still, looking at your list of houshold names* I'm even more sure in my bottom three prediction.

*I'm reasonably confidant that I'm the only member of my household to have heard any of these names.

[Gaillimh Al]

Sorry if you failed to notice my sarcastic tone. We may not have any "household" names but I think the change to professional football will bring on a lot of our supposedly 1st Division players. Only time will tell of course but I think we'll survive comfortably enough this year. Anyway, sure we have a handy 3 points in our last game of the season if it comes down to it.:)

[Student Mullet]

Anyway, sure we have a handy 3 points in our last game of the season if it comes down to it.:)I hope so, we should be well into our end of season friendlys at that stage. We'll see how your supposedly 1st Division players match up against our U21s.

[Conor H]

Al,
Alot of the UCD fans have a serious grudge against Galway so take their predictions with a pinch of salt.The fact that he's pretending not to know that Alan Murphy(former UTD and Derry) is playing with us sums it all up.

[jebus]

Al,

Not to mention us good natured Limerick fans who hope your mockery of a club crash and burn Conor :)

[pineapple stu]

The fact that he's pretending not to know that Alan Murphy(former UTD and Derry) is playing with us sums it all up.
He knows Alan Murphy very well.

I think Galway fans would want to stop taking things so personally and realise that they're just a small team who didn't even do enough to get promoted on the pitch last year, which points to a long season ahead when you consider that teams who were strong enough to get promoted often struggle.

[Student Mullet]

He knows Alan Murphy very well.I looked him up on wiki there (having genuinely not heard of him) and it's a different Alan Murphy. In any case, the football will restart soon and these off season filling discussions will be a thing of the past.

[Dodge]

If Galway are relying on Chris Armstrong up front they have problems. We have no strikers and still wouldn't re-sign him...

Longford's first XI is better than Galway's IMO.

[superblues]

Its not looking to good for us this yr from looking at all those predictions. I think we will hold our own because we wont have alot of pressure or expectations on our team. We were only promoted 2 weeks ago and only built a 1st Division team so i think the players will up there game against so called "Better Teams"!!!!

Well i really hope that happens anyway.

[Sam Savic]

I can see Longford in trouble this season. They have major debts. Most clubs in the premier will have budgeted properly, but Longford are starting off the season owing players big sums of money.

[Raheny Red]

2nd Drogheda United
3rd Bohemian F.C.
4th St. Pat's Ath.

10th Galway United
11th Longford Town
12th Waterford United

Setanta Cup: St. Pat's Ath.

The outstanding cash that was owed has been paid.

if paiso was allowed to leave for free under this rule then how many other players could go under the same rule:( This is the biggest joke ever.

[RonnieB]

Wait till you read the latest juicy bit Sonic. It gets better and better.
