Half-season Predictions

[sfc red]

We have had a feckin nightmare with injuries and are still at the top of the leauge .If we can get some of the injured back then we should go on and win it .Rumours going round hell ( UCD ) on earth on friday night was that Jason gavin and Fabio are due to return much sooner that expected , and if we can get Richie Baker and Ollie Cahil playing we will have a strong squad for the run in :)

Doolin doesn't want Richie or Ollie.

[ger121]

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

Can't see Drogs losing it due to fact they've done so well even with all the injuries. Bohs to sneak 2nd from Cork. Pats to slide down to 4th. Rovers done well so far but don't have the squad. Derry & Sligo inconsistent so have them finishing 6 and 7. UCD solid, Galway can't win at home. Waterford are very poor and Longford are dead and buried.

[OhNoYouDidn't]

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

Pats have by a mile the best 15 players and I think they have the spine and the good buzz around the club with Kelleher at the moment to go all the way.

We are being wildly underestimated by the usual mongs, this team win will leagues but not this year. All our losses came from naive play, which is behind us. Cant see us losing more than 2 or 3 more games. Entertains me no end that we will fade, seeing as we are the fittest team in the league.

Drogs will choke as their manager fails to control his squad.

Derry will improve under the new regieme. Cork to remain a selling club and plod along. Connor to be found out and the usual nonsense of harassing the manager to begin in D7. The culture of mediocrity to continue

The rest is just the rest.

[Celdrog]

Drogs will choke as their manager fails to control his squad.
Ask Keith Fahey how Doolin controls the squad ............

[GavinZac]

Its Drogs to throw away this year IMO. No one in the league can compete with their squad despite injuries and I really think its Doolins to mess up.

Im starting to get excited by us but were still very unpredictable. If we keep Roy I think we can make second.

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

edit: Apologies this is micls not Gavinzac

[Block G Raptor]

I know it's probably black and red tinted glasses but I really do think Bohs can do it this year. actually I fancy a treble ..............Defo black-n-red glasses

If you can't score on us you cant beat us and we're just not leaking goals

[micls]

Ask Keith Fahey how Doolin controls the squad ............

Theres a difference between kicking someoen out for unprofessionalism and guiding a quality team to a title....

[Risteard]

Its good to see the variety in predictions.
A bit of a change from recent years.

Is micls Missus Zac?

[L37Ultra]

1. Dundalk
2. Cobh
3. L37
4. Harps
5. Athlone
6. Kildare
7. Monaghan
8. Wexford
9. Kilkenny
10. Shels
WeXford Youths to finish in top half of table - probably fifth.


Which explains why u have them in 8th :confused::confused:

[LukeO]

Anyone who thinks Shels will finish tenth needs their heads examined... Keely's made some very good signings and they'll shoot up the table... if they had the team they have now at the start of the season they'd be challenging for promotion.

Ah well, another season of punishment won't do them any harm... :D

That's a bg if. He needs time for the new squad to get used to the used squad.

And if anybody thinks we will finish 7nd they need they need their head examined. Bray will finsished ahead of us.

[NutterPutter]

That leaves UCD, sligo ,bray in "who cares land"

Wrong, BillyG! Eddie Gormley is making a difference at Bray. You can see it in their style of play, and the fact that a couple of "donkeys" are being moved on and some quality players being brought in. I predict Bray will be in or on the verge of top 6 by the end of season! :p

Ever heard of wishful thinking? :)

which is exactly my point. Those positions 6 - 9 dont really matter is big scheme of things. Top 5 hoping for europe, bottom 3 hoping not to be relegated.....6 - 9 in no really matter places. And as for God (Gormely) making a difference you are telling a Pats fan...i know all about him making a difference :)

Not quite missus yet :D

A cut and paste of someone else's predictions. Fifth looks about right. Not bad for our first year in Wexford. We can beat the best in Ireland at u-18 (including an Eircom league selection) and will do the same in the first division in a short space of time.

[GavinZac]

Not quite missus yet :D

Will you...

make sure to bring a few magazines for the plane to sweden, theres only so much staring at clouds i can do

[finnpark]

Premier Division predictions are easy. Between Shamrock and Bohemian for 4th

1. United (that 7/1 looks good now, got on at 5s myself:) )
2. City
3. Supersaints
4. Gypsies

1. Dundalk
2. Cobh

No luck for harps:mad:

9. Galway
10. Bray
11. Waterford
12. Longford

[mypost]

I see we're 6th again. Even hapless Derry are expected to surge past us. :rolleyes:

We will finish minimum 4th, and probably above it. And of the top 5 now, 4 of them play each other on the last day, while we're at home to Waterford. :D We are in a very strong position at the moment, and I expect us to push on from here. With our strong home form, (1 defeat in last 26 matches) we'll be there or thereabouts come November 9th.

Yep - thats a very fair comment. Also not much as mae of this in the media was it ? west v east coast etc

[L37Ultra]

After last night, im not confident that Limerick37 will get a Play-off place!!

[The Rebel Ram]

Wouldnt totally agree with you there Risteard, they got away with it bigtime against an awful UCD team. Couple this with dropped points at home to Longford etc. and the Drogs are not very well equipped. So much depends on Fabio coming back its scary. Sami is doing brilliantly at the minute (he's by far the best footballer at the club) but he cant do it alone.
I wonder about the people on this MB that keep saying its Drogs league to lose. I seriously hope none of them have seen them play or they wouldn't say that. Very limited team under Doolin and its only the fact that the league is a poor standard this season that its close up there.
As for the big names coming back - its only Fabio and Gavin that'll make that much difference.
