1st division

[Lamper.sffc]

True but if we lose to Athlone and Kildare then we don't deserve to win the league in my opinion. You really have to look at getting max points off all the bottom 4.

Tell that to sporting fingal. Bloody kildare. We have droped 4 points against them. This could be vital at the end of the season.

[Jofspring]

more points dropped by dundalk. will they pull it together.

Me and my big mouth

Reports from the game aren't good for us. Its a marathon, not a sprint and this season cetainly will go down to the last game. I still feel we are the best team in the division and this is our year to finally get out of this league.
I don't think we will implode like last season but I need to see a solid performance now against Kildare and Shels to assure me once again that we will win the league.

[Jofspring]

hope your right, i want to see dundalk go up.

[gael353]

i hope they do too, but they clearly have a problem with pacy forwards who put the whole team into retreat. Sheehan at Limerick and Noel McGee at athlone etc

OOPS:eek: :D

[shep]

Nice win for us last night,hopefully will get us going again before massive game next week.Come on Limerick and the Mon Dogs!!!!

[Inside Man]

Really want Dundalk to go up. Have been following the first division all year. Obviously Limerick would be my first choice but they never competed really. Limerick in the league would be much more healthy for the league in the long run. With the lack of west coast teams in the premier Limerick would give the league more than what Fingal or shels argueably would as another Dublin club in the premier Division would be suicide. Dundalk could be considered another Dublin club as they are so close to the capital but their following would give the premier Division a better dimension.

:eek::eek: ask someone who commutes to Dublin from Dundalk how close they think they are!!!! Dublin is further from Dundalk than England from France your argument stinks and so does the Liffey:p Sure Limerick and Thurles are one and the same so!

[holidaysong]

Dundalk is actually closer to Belfast than Dublin... That's our real capital. ;)

[holidaysong]

P.S. - Why am I posting at 4am? Ugh...

[LeixlipRed]

Heroic stuff last night from Keddy. First time I've ever said that :eek: Thursday is huge now

[oriel]

Yeah great win for Shels, who would have thought Keddy of all people and at this stage in his career would be the 2 goal hero in the last ten mins

Another 6 pointer on thurs then.............you would have to say if we beat you its pretty much all over for shels ?

[LeixlipRed]

Probably. However, if we win then we can overtake you on Monday week if we beat Waterford ;)

[holidaysong]

Thursday is huge, as is next Monday. We'll know a lot more by next Monday night but hopefully we will get the business done on Thursday night and not have to worry too much about who wins in Tolka. We haven't beaten Shels in the league yet this year, so hopefully we can put that right! I assume Shels will be bringing even more fans than their last visit? Should be a great atmosphere..

That Hogwash. 85km from somewhere is not close. It's miles away. ;)

Roll on Thursday. Can't wait, I'm like a little child on xmas eve. There is a lot of talk in town about the match and I'd reckon we could get over 2,000 at the match. It'd be great for the first

[Joey Killester]

Possibly our biggest game in two years, I agree about the Christmas thing. Pitty it couldnt be on TV.

[Black and White]

Would love to see Wexford get a draw tonight!!

I tend to disagree with the previous two posts. Who would have thought:p


Hoping for the 3. Then thats just 3 points of the top spot.

[Youths4Ever]

Sorry could not oblige on this one

Sorry but we got the three and we needed them big time :p

[holidaysong]

Well done Wexford, you are in great form lately.. Derry City beware!

[oldyouth]

Things are Tickety-Boo again for The Youths. Now Waterford on Friday

[oriel]

Nice one Wexford, same again for Waterford on Fri night would be magic, treat it as a bit of a test for the lge cup final !

[Youths4Ever]

If we could only win at home

[Raheny Red]

Happy to help :D

Why - did you have a bet on ?

[holidaysong]

Why - did you have a bet on ?

€25 at 10/1 it seems... Not a bad return I suppose. He'd swap it all for 3 points on Thursday night though, I'm sure. ;)

[Black and White]

Brilliant result last night...now lets just hope we can build on this and not muck up in the next two dodgy games hmoe to shels and away to the mon dogs!!

[Higgo]

Thursday's game in Oriel is massive now. Shels' season is on a knife edge, a loss would all but end our title aspirations. A win, on the other hand, and we would probably emerge as favourites to win the division. I haven't looked forward to a game this much in a few years, I'm just hoping we don't come home empty-handed like we did in '98! Roll on Thursday!

How do you figure that you be favourites for the league. You'll still be 3 behind and will still have to play Waterford twice

[shep]

Really cant wait for this,if Dundalk win and Shels beat Waterford on Monday,we really are in the driving seat,should be a good game too

[Higgo]

I'm well aware of that, but we will have a game in hand. Also, I just feel that we will definitely have a psychological advantage should we beat your lot in Oriel...again. The manner of our victory against Limerick suggests to me that we are coming good at the right time.

[shep]

I think our run in is good with two home games followed by a struggling Kildare away in the last game.

Dodgy refereeing decision is all I can say. Biggest game of the season by but I have said that possibly each time we play Shels or Waterford. I really can't wait and I belive that we will not lose the match. Should be a great game and hopefully Shels can bring a few too

Lets get Shels out of the way first

[shep]

I agree,i was just pointing it out to the shels fan who was implying they would be favourites should they beat us!!!

[jinxy lilywhite]

Here we go Head to Head league. Makes for interesting reading. Results in the last series are really going to go a long way in deciding who finishes where:

Teams P W D L F A Diff Pts
Fingal 9 3 4 2 11 10 1 13
Dundalk 9 3 4 1 8 8 0 13
Shels 8 2 5 1 8 5 3 11
Waterford 8 3 1 4 8 10 -2 10


Pretty Tight

[Lamper.sffc]

Still fuming over the game the other night. The only thing that makes me feel any way better is that to be fair wexford deserved it. If we had played great and wexford sneaked a win that would upset me more but in fairness wexford hit us on the break brilliantly and their finishing was top class (ba$tards:mad::D) Good look to the youths for the rest of the season

Nice to read something like that. It was actually a decent match, I think most neutrals would have enjoyed it (I think that's the first time I've been able to say that about a Youths match I've been to). We really did play some lovely football going forward, although we looked very hesitant at the back at times, especially from set pieces and for Doyle's second goal.

[oldyouth]

Well done Lamper. Like meself, I call football as I see it, regardless of who you support

[shep]

There is far too much good feeling toward Wexford Youth's..............Where are the Limerick lads!!!???:D:D:D

[shep]

Judgement Day in Division 1.......my prediction

DUNDALK 2 - SHELBOURNE 0
Baker 21,87

Att
2150

Nice one. Shep whats the euromillions on Friday?

[Black and White]

Lets just hope a referees performance doesnt decide the match tonite.What I Mean is the four games we'v played against shels this season so far have all had a "magnificant" performance by the man in the middle, esp. in oriel back in May, what a joke he was!Bisto to break his leg in oriel tonight!!!:D

Ludicrious. You missed last season league matches in Oriel. We beat shels 3-0 and 1-0 respectively. Some of those scorelines are over 5 years old and i think you got one of them wrong. I remember us beating Shels in '98 2-1 and Shels losing the title to St. Pats. Oh what a joy Dundalk to win tonight. I don't care what score or if it goes in off Bakers behind but "I've got a feeling yeah"

The crowd tonight is going to be massive. Dundalk and Shels are going to put some of the premier clubs to shame with the attendence tonight

Roll On

[finnpark]

Trust me Shels will score ;)

End of season results are meaningless as Shels had nothing to play for. Dundalk won't win ;)

[passerrby]

shame as no major coverage in newspapers as this i has the makings of been a cracker and is going to be a great evenings entertainment. hope shels win so that dundalk will need a win in kingspan century park next week.
