Where were all you Drogheda Utd fans when they were bottom of the first div?!:DAll joking a side, it's an amazing turn around from been the laughing stock of the LOI to been champions elected in the space of maybe 7-8 years? People seem to foget that. It's there title to lose. I'm just hoping Rovers don't win the league.
TBH the fact that Rovers, Cork & Pats are fighting for at least second place between them may just lend them that competitive edge to keep some pressure on Drogheda, however as pointed out in another post above it would still require Drogheda to lose 3 games out of 6, TBH i just cant see that happening given they've lost only that amount in their previous 27 games!Quote:

The fat lady is warming up folks, Rovers Cork & pats are playing for europe & setanta now IMO.
Koh
its definately ours to lose, but there is no point in celerbrating or gloating until its finally won.
we've waited long enough to win a league, i don't see a problem in waiting a few more weeks.
You make it sound like one of those 'for the good of the league' things, like supporting each other in Europe!Quote:

It is good for the league because if it goes down to the last day it will generate more publicity and more interest and might even attract a few new fans to the leagueQuote:

Their losses for the year are two and a half times the budgets of the smaller clubs. If they didn't win anything with that, questions would have to be asked. No-one can sensibly compete with them now that Shels are gone.Quote:

He's just trying to recruit more people into the "UCD are jealous of Doolin Society" or the UJDS for short :pQuote:

Fri, Oct 26 Away Waterford Utd
Fri, Nov 2 Home Bray Wanderers
Fri, Nov 9 Away St. Pats
Looks like Rovers are gonna bottle there chance at second. Could well see them losing out to Pats and Cork with a 4th place finish.
[QUOTE=Saint MacDara;781958]Pat's and Cork will probably cancel eachother out of the title race for good with a draw in a few weeks.QUOTE]
Ye just about beat a second string United in Terryland. Dont think ye'll beat Cork City in their present form especially with Dinny Behans form.
Drogs are pretty much home and dry but there are still a bucket load of points to play for for so be careful about runing away with those thoughts of the title. I'm sure the squad wont be thinking like that
get back down to earth man... stop kiddin yourself.Quote:

Think Drogheda will win it in Waterford. Wins v Sligo, Cork & Waterford with a draw v Rovers.
It'll be tight between Cork, Pats and Rovers for the mionor places. Bohs might creep into 4th but that’s it for them IMO.
I wolud like to apologise on behalf of all the Drogheda united supporters who watched there team fail miserably for years , winning nothing and getting relegated on a regular basis .How dare someone come in and invest money to try and win the leauge ? Just who the hell do we think we are .We ought to be ashamed of ourselves :(Quote:

With last night's result, all you can say is that Bray have improved their chances of staying up!Quote:
