Nov 09 - St Patricks Ath v Drogheda

Corks remaining matches:
Oct 22 - Cork City v St Patricks Ath

It's going to be an interesting race for the automatic Uefa Cup spot over the next few weeks. Discuss...

Im hoping none of those games have anything to do with 2nd, cup semis will dictate what teams are out etc:

Think we will beat Cork on Monday then we have 12 days off before the game vs UCD.

Its ours to lose but hopefully the cup will effect how Cork and UCD play, think our home game vs Drogs is a banker :D

oh you spelt your own clubs name wrong :p

Interesting run-in all right, but we've been poor against the bottom half teams this season. Maybe the stakes will bring a change in attitude to these games.

We've the hardest run-in, Bohs with the easiest. I think it'l come down to the last day and us vs Bohs, once we can do the job on Monday.

If Pats win Monday it should be all there's

Everyone seems to think we are safe. I don't completely agree I'd like to see us with a few more points and after last night doubly so.

Going to be interesting anyway. Did not think it Bohs would be in with a chance of 2nd about 6 weeks ago considering the way they were playing but Pats are slight favourites but could be a good trip to Cork on the final day of the season.

The bookies view

5/4 Pats
7/4 Cork
9/4 Bohs
25/1 Rovers

I think Bohs have the momentum to take it, the final league game against Cork could be a straight playoff for 2nd place.

If Pats avoid defeat against Cork tomorrow, I'd expect them to finish second.

Final standings/Europe/Setanta

Can somebody please put the senarios and possibilities up for the European and setanta cup places?
Thanks

Champions & Champions League: Drogheda

UEFA Cup: League Runners-up & FAI Cup Winners
If the league runners-up win the FAI Cup, then 3rd place in the league qualifies for UEFA Cup.

Intertoto Cup: League 3rd place, or as above 4th place if cup winners finish either 2nd or 3rd.

Setanta Cup: Drogheda, FAI Cup Winners, UEFA Cup qualifier & Derry City or 1st Division Champions.

Bottlers: Shamrock Rovers

Drogheda have won the league and qualify for the Champions' League and Setanta.

Derry won the league cup and will play off against the first division winners, either Harps, Cobh or (very unlikely) Dundalk, for a Setanta place.

The cup winners: either Cork, Bohs, UCD or Longford will qualify for the UEFA Cup and Setanta.

The league runners up: either Cork, Pats, Bohs or (very unlikely) Rovers will qualify for the UEFA Cup and Setanta. If Cork or Bohs win the cup and finish second in the league, the third place team gets the UEFA Cup and Setanta place.

The third place team in the league: either Cork, Pats, Bohs or Rovers will qualify for the InterToto Cup. If Cork or Bohs win the cup and finish second or third in the league, the fourth place team gets the InterToto place.

Super win for Pats tonight. 3 wins and a draw in our last 5 games in Turners' Cross...

Anyway we now need 4 points to be absolutely certain of second place. We only need one point to guarentee 3rd place.

I will be more than happy if you give you that point as it would secure me �250.:cool: Also hopefully Bohs won't make it into the top 3- from what I've seen of them they're not as good as Pats, Cork or Rovers.
