Exactly! Fenlon is the most successful LOI manager this decade, end of. Never heard Shels fans moan about his record or style before. If you think Fenlon was negative, you've obviously wiped the memory of DK's last spell with you.

Well we have, in Europe we moaned about his style of play, and in the league playing Harris up front which worked not alot. Also, with the money he had at his disposal I think anyone could have won the league :eek: :rolleyes:

well you didnt anticipate us beating and drawing with you in the brandeywell last season , never mind thrashing you in utd park .Keep writing us off though its great :)
We struggled against the smaller teams last year in fairness:D Especially teams who played 5-5-0 at the Brandywell. But I'm sure Doolin will be under more pressure to actually allow his team to pass the half way line at the Brandywell this year on more than 2 occaisions. The 3-1 game at United Park was a disaster - and IMO Kenny's team selection that night was ridiculous and was affected by telling the players that day that he was off to Dunfermiline.
This year though you are the new Shelbourne, we tend to raise our game.

I'd originally have backed Drogs, but am less confient in them now they've lost at home.
I can see Linfield and City sneaking through from our group. Depending on who gets the home draw in the semi, I then wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a Derry-Linfield final after that.
That would certainly draw the biggest crowd and generate the most excitement ! Though it would probably have to be played at Windsor, which would be an issue.

You mean there's a chance we mightn't? I thought our FAI Cup third round at Tolka had become an annual thing? :confused:

Why would it be an issue? Us playing at Tolka Park against Shelbourne was not an issue.

Why?????
Was grand last year and should be grand this year,
has a bigger capacity than Tolka, and much closer,
day out in belfast is a lot cheaper than a day out drinking in dublin
commendable reaching for the stars there
I somehow doubt Derry will get out of the group, let alone be able to beat pats at the semi final or final stage.
I look forward to meeting Linfield though

I would say Derry have a good chance of getting out of group, particularly if the beat Drogheda at home in a few weeks. At the start I viewed it as two from three qualifying with the three being Linfield, Drogheda and Derry and I stand by that.

Fair point.
Actually, the more think about it - if it was a Linfield-Derry final, I think I'd prefer Windsor. Easier for our fans to get to, and a bigger capacity.
That would be one hell of a Final for the Cup as well !

Attendance ways it would undoubtedly be the best. On a Saturday you could easily be talking about 10,000 plus there.
AFAIK if a Northern team is involved it will be definitely be in Windsor

pats would be an good outside bet to win the setanta! any team with gary o neill kirbs and ndo has to have a good chance! drogs sneaked out of nowhere last year why not Pats? they are an excellent team and in barry ryan one of the better eircom league goalies!
off to the bookies to invest! good each way bet!
