I hope it does go to the end of the season though. What a showdown!

You're forgetting about the game in hand, which cancels out a loss. Our game in hand is Rovers in Dalymount.

With goal difference, the last game (Cork Derry), goals will count as 2 (ie 1 for you + 1 against the other team) so Corks +4 over Derry can be brought even by Derry winning by 2 clear goals against Cork.

Don't even go there.......:eek: :eek:

What does it come down to if its level on points & goal difference? Goals for? Head to head? My guess: drawing of lots.

Goals for is next anyway. After that i don't know, play-off maybe? :eek:

I know they changed the rules after the 3 way tie years ago but I wouldn't disagree with playoff when teams finish level. Decide on goal difference if more than 2 teams level.
