Expectations for 2006 season

What are the expectation sof supporters from each club next season?

Cork City
Minimum - Compete well in all competitions & quality for Uefa Cup, Get past 1st qualifying round of CL.
Hoping - Win League again. Setanta Cup Final. 3rd round of CL qualifiers.

It's so hard to say at this point. We've retained the spine of the squad, Quigley, Kenna, McNally, McDonnell and Dicker. However we've lost a degree of quality and still have feck all firepower up front.

Minimum - Not relegation
Hoping - Not to be relegated, maybe win a cup and get into Setanta/Europe.

Minimum-Promotion
Hoping-WE will do it in style and win the league.Also to have a good run in both cups.

Minimum: Survival at any cost really, but it'd be nice if we could play some decent football along the way.

Hoping:To have a season like Bray did last year, ie)home or away always in with a chance of getting a decent result and ultimatley not have to simultaneosly (:o ) poo your pants and chew your nails for the final 3 months of the season by finishing comfortably away from the plug hole

:D
Was that a deliberate choice of words?



For Shels:

MINIMUM: going into Europe again
HOPING: to win the league again of course :o

MINUMUM
Survival. Could be a long season for LTFC fans :(

HOPING
Mid table. Good Cup runs.

I don't know what to expect from Shelbourne in 2006. Yes we were excellent towards the end of last season but losing Wes Hoolahan is a massive blow for us. Only one signing in O'Halloran, too much deadwood like Crawley and Moore still not sold and no other signing seems to be on the wayand these factors don't make me feel that we can reclaim the title. If we play to our potential then we'll have a good chance in all competitions, if we slack around like we did for 2/3rds of last season we can forget about a good season. 2006 is make or break for alot of people at Shels.

Minimum: Top 3 eL position, Get past 1st round of Intertoto, Challenge for Setanta Cup and Have a decent FAI Cup run for the first time in a few seasons.

Hoping: For a more positive season on the pitch, To win the league, final round of Intertoto and to win either the Setanta or FAI Cup.

For some reason I'm looking forward to start of the season already!

Minimum
F.A.I Cup or Setanta Cup, Top 2 finish and get past first round of Internono

Hoping
League Champions, Setanta Cup and qualify for U.E.F.A through the Internono!!

You are getting Sean Dillon off us. Will probably play left full for Shels ahead of Crawley but can play anywhere along the backline. Brilliant player. Best young defender in the league.

Minimum:
Cup Double and maintain a top 3 finish.

Hoping: Quadurple:D Now you cant get them in darts!

Minimum: Top 3 finish, a good FAI cup and setanta cup run too

Hoping: Win a treble of the league, setanta cup, FAI cup and go through a couple of rounds of the uefa cup - we can all dream i suppose :)

Well thats the British education system for you:rolleyes:

Well i was expecting a UCD fan to pick that up:D

Minimum: Survival number one but hopefully doing it with good football and not hoofball like many others.

Hoping: Mid-table position come the end of the season.

Minimum: Safety without nearly fúcking it up near the end again.

Hoping: Third Dublin team again and maybe top half finish and a good cup run.

Minimum - Anything better than last season. (Can't believe I had to type that, but it's true)

Hoping - Mid Table, and the FAI Cup (Finally)
