Last game showdown at the Pike!
Just been looking in to my crystal ball:) and this is how I see ours and Kildares last games going... we'll get 20 more points, this season, they'll get 14...leaving us 3 points behind them (us currently on 33, them on 42) going in to the last nailbiting, dramatic finale at the Pike where Derek McCarthy will strike deep into injury time to get us that elusive 4th spot...:D :D
Limerick: Bray (draw) Cobh, Kilkenny (wins) Dublin City (draw) Monaghan, Athlone(wins) Finn Harps (lose) Galway, Dundalk(wins) 20 points. Total 53
Kildare: Harps(lose) Kilkenny(win) Sligo (draw) Athlone (win) Dublin City, Bray (losses) Dundalk (draw) Cobh, Monaghan (wins) 14 points. Total 56
Then...Derek does his stuff, and we're in the play-offs on goal difference, where we destroy Derry City ...again :D :D

If these go as planned for the rest of the season we are still in the hunt. We still end up with 53 and 56, even without the points deduction. The really tough ones will be Harps and Dundalk away.

Just looking at this and if your forecast is correct for the final three matches before Nov 30 then we miss out.
If we win our last two and get 6 points. They get a draw a two wins that's 7 points. So they would be 4 ahead of us on the last day of the season.
No doubt they have a handier run in. But they are buckling! And we're on a roll. If we can get a draw in Ballybofey we are really in with a great shout.
The main thing now is that our fate is in our own hands. We have a game against them and a better goal difference (just).
