However, if your results start to wane you will see crowds dropping. Its a league of Ireland certainty, Tallaght or no Tallaght. You've won nothing yet son.
I wouldn't be so sure Cretaro would leave anyways. I'm sure he's on a decent wage, he's Sligo to the bone and we'll do all in our power to hold onto him and a few others.
Back to topic, I still think Bohs will take the title in the end. I hope they do anyways. Nicer footballing side in my eyes.

Hate to break the news to you but Cretaro wont be at Sligo next year. The dogs in the street know that.

Bohs. Why? Because I said so! ;)

Do you think you're getting Cretaro? What would be the point, apart from making sure someone else doesn't get him. You already have three of the best wide players in the league, in Robinson, O'Connor and Kavanagh, and if you were to play him up front, who would you drop? Baker or Twigg?

Cretaro is one of the top players in the league, and I can't see him leaving a decent contract at Sligo to go to a club where he wouldn't be guaranteed first team football, even if it does mean passing up a chance to play in Europe.

Every indication is that he will be here next year, recently signed a new extension to his contract (which is still on regular, non-obscene wages)

he played in the scottish 2nd div last year so i'd say hes loving it in tallagt bigger crowds, better weather, higher profile and better pay. cant
imagine him leaving for atleast another season?

Twigg desperately needs an off-season, whether he wants one or not. So leaving abroad would do him no good...yet.

Never miss a chance to have a go at Bohs (version 385) :rolleyes:

Don't expect Dundalk to roll over on friday (or any game) but don't believe Seanie would do Bohs any favours either.
Hopefully "big bad" Seanie will not matter in the destination of the title ;)

It wasn't a dig at Bohemians - just slagging off the couple of foot.ie posters fans who launched the ludicrous conspiracies theories.

(Hey, you may have missed it, but I think Bohs are by some distance to best team in the country!!!)

My vote is with Bohs as I think they have more players that have been in this position in the past. The old dog for the long road as they say.
Also, as I am neither a Bohs or Shams fan, looking forward to Europe next season I think I would prefer Shams got the UEFA cup spot and Bohs got the Champions League spot. Again as most of the Bohs players have been there before and in my opinion have a better chance of going through. I think a year in the UEFA cup would be good for Shams. If they can keep crowd numbers at Tallaght I can see them dominating the league for a few years so plenty of time for them in the Champions League.

JEEEZ at last something we agree on !!!!! (I thought it might happen but still.......) :D

As I said I expect Dundalk players to try to win for themselves, their club and supporters. I too agree that no player is going to "throw" a match based on like or dislike of another club (there, TWO things we agree on). most if not all players in the LOI are honest and while conspiracy theories are good fun on a message board I would not take them seriously.

Best of luck tomorrow night ;)

Have to say was extremely gutted after the Cork game but we got what we deserved and it has been coming for a while now, hoof ball doesn't work. The only way we will win the league is if Bohs drop some points against Sligo. Sligo need a win and will be going for one, they are playing half decent stuff at the minute to. If i'm completly honest i can't see Bohs dropping any points in any of the last 3 games, we had it in our own hands and threw it away on Tuesday evening. So my answer as much as it hurts is i think Bohs will win it.

Buttimer is reffing in Terryland Park tomorrow night, so God know's what is going to happen now!

What does your fourth strip look like? 'cos we'll probably be wearing it.....

Let's see - home is maroon, away is green and blue stripes, third is black . . . yep, ye'll be playing in the nip

I think Bohs will win the league. They know what it takes to win a title and have the quality to win all of the final 3 games. Rovers are a top quality side and are just as clinical as Bohs in front of goal but the experience in the Bohs side should see them to the title imo.

When their players flee the club in the close season, you might like to change that view.

No absolutely no way. but rovers cant sign everybody and all the rest of the clubs unless they are being particularly stupid (which actually isnt beyond belief now i think of it) will not need to offer contracts anything like they have had to in the last while to secure players.

Counter argument is we don't have to.

what kind of a counter arguement was that??????? was i saying that you would need to sign too many to maybe have the best squad next year??? NO. I was saying that squads in general shouldnt cost as much and there will be players available because you cant sign them all. I was talking about having to afford the same kind of wages not the potential quality of your squad and the fact that bohs could probably assemble a decent squad on a much smaller budget next year. if bohs are in the premier division i might add.

Ok ok ok :)

My point is that the players will go, some to Rovers, but will go the next stable club/one who offers the most. Whether Rovers can buy everybody or not, they'll leave. There's lots of clubs on a more stable footing than Bohs, argubly more attractive to a player and in a much better position to offer enough to get him first.

Rovers can't sign everybody correct, but they can go for the best in the league, as Fingal will probably also be able to. Looking at the league table, naturally alot of the best players in the league are Bohs players. Will they want to take wagecuts to stay at Bohs or will they possibly look at getting a wage increase at Fingal or being part of something massive at Rovers?
