I think with tonights result I can say Drogheda United 2007 Premier League Champions:p:o:D
Whilst it is (unfortunately) the most likely scenario, i wouldnt be counting your chickens just yet.............
If we beat Rovers on Fri and our game in hand v UCD on monday we are 5 points behind you.
If Rovers beat Drogheda and we beat Bray on the weekend of Oct 12th, then we are 2 points behind you.
And if we beat ye the following week, we are top by a point.
A LOT of ifs and buts I know, but I wouldnt be celebrating just yet.
I've been holding back those thoughts michaelguineys.
I think its feasible.
It would certainly be an amazing capitulation though.
I'm a big disbeliever of the whole make-or-break match thing but a draw in the Cross Friday would put an end to it all.*
I guess you could say it would put a spring in the step of the Boooinnngsiders.
Huh?
Spring?
Boynesiders?
Booiiinng, nah?
I know it's a hell of a long shot and we have probably left it too late at this stage but it aint over til its over and i think we have done well the past few weeks to have been able to claw our way (mathematically at least!) back into this title raceQuote:

But if one of us does succeed in beating the other and win all their remaining games that might just be enough to wipe the smiles off the faces of the Drogs.
Why would you say something like that?Quote:

we'll beat drogheda on friday and that';ll help shams and cork out ;)
To be honest I would love nothing more than for someone (hopefully us!) to swipe that title from right underneath Drogheda's nose!!Quote:

That'l only be true if Drogs lose Friday.Quote:

Soooo in short, it's over.
I think it was around this time last year that people were saying Doolin was clutching to ever shortening straws........tis great its the other way around this year!......success is sweet!
Yez haven't won anything yet.
I think it's over - Drogs have to lose three times out of the remaining six - or not win more than twice - for anyone else to have a chance; given they've only lost three times all season, this isn't likely. The race is now for second.
Listen don't be getting too cocky - it's not over until you can't be caught mathematically and that won't be for another few games so don't be counting your proverbials too soon Drogheda - remember Standard Liege in the Belgian Championship in late '91? No neither do I. :cool:
Ya you are probably right and there is probably a 99% chance that they will win the league but that 1% is still there and while it is, us, pats and rovers will keep on fighting.Quote:
