IF we win both games then yeah I reckon it's as good as over but otherwise there'll still be a lot to play for.
ya 2 wins and its as good as over, i rekon 2 draws and we will see us close in on the league in a few weeks time. I think from a mental thing it would be good to win the league prior to the final two games of the season which are shelbourne and derry, even if shels were not in the reconing you may be sure they would not make it easy for us.
Two wins on the trot for Cork would put you 9 points ahead of City and a whopping minimum of 17 ahead of Shels, so would look pretty much game over.
I'm personally more worried about us struggling to beat teams like Pats and Bray at the moment though...
Don't worry, there'll always be enough injury time for you to sneak a draw. :DQuote:

There's is still 1/3 of the league campaign remaining after Friday.
Your probably right, but i hope not for the sake of an exciting finish to the league, nothing worse than the league been over with 2 months to go....Quote:

Dissapointing to drop two points at home to a poor looking Derry outfit - especially to that flukey goal. We totally outclassed them. Armstrong looks like the signing of the year!

The league will not be over until we cannot be caught.
It would be over for $h€l$ but not for Derry.
Gaining 6 points won't make the league over, no more than dropping the 6 points will.
Derry's last two games should have have been 6 points dropped, but late,late equaliser's meant 2 points. That kind of keep going attitude, and the certain amount of luck involved, means they will be in the running right until the end.
As wws sort of said, it is very likely that it will go down to the last game of the season, especially as City have their 3 hardest games of the season to finish their program, WUFC, $h€l$ and Derry.
No Definitely not. 1/3 of season to go. Too many times over the years big leads have been cut. Way too early.
Yes.Quote:

Derbies are a stand alone type fixture. football doesnt work like that.Quote:

However pessimist that I am I'd point out that even a 9 point lead wouldn't be impossible to bridge over 11 games.
Derry only have to get the gap down to 2 points before the last game in the Cross and if they win that game......
On a brighter note last night's win was feckin brilliant. Was exhausted after watching it
I can only see the title going to one place. Turners Cross. The best team this year by far. Hope they beat Djurgardens and give us some european respectability.
I predicted 1-1 in Sweden & 1-0 last night.
I'm going for 1-1 in Derry & 1-1 in Uefa 2nd leg at the cross although i think could also be 1-0 to City... :eek:
