Wonder if they got promoted would the tune change from some higher up in the club.

They're 4-0 up now, they'll be favourites for the First Division play off I reckon. The form team.
Mervue to beat Bray unmentionables in a playoff, then disband, saving Bray for the millionth season in a row!
Quite possible. On another note blow it up to **** ref
Bohs equalise in injury time meaning a Pats win tomorrow and they're champions
Full time 2-1 Town. Town play Mervue in the play offs, second leg at the CCS.
So Mervue make the playoffs after all. If they manage to win, this will descend into farce. If it hasn't already.
By the way, cheers Sligo for giving us Ryan Connolly, he's been an excellent addition to our midfield. Never stops running and has shown good attacking qualities from the middle of midfield. It is a big step down but he's definitely stood out.
It has long descended into farce - the suits wanting 'out', the manager and players wanting 'in'. They've won 6 on the bounce now, conceding just once (tonight) in that run. You'd have to fancy them to topple Longford, and while the Premier Division side will obviously have the greater experience, and higher standard, Mervue will have some
momentum behind them. Would be sadistically hilarious if they go the whole way, just to see what happens
We'll get a big boost from tonight, a badly needed confidence builder but as I said above Mervue would be slight favourites for me. Won't be much in it either way though if we can manage to get our first choice defence on the field.
Decent result for Bohs tonight. They can't finish any lower than 11th at worst. I expect a battling performance from Bray at home to Limerick tomorrow. A win there and they'll give themselves a fighting chance going to Dalymount Park of putting themselves in a position where they might get out of the bottom 2 places. With Shels and Bray without league wins in so long, it is hard to see either getting the point to avoid those 2 places.
I can see us beating Mervue no bother over the two legs!
Yes Bohs F*cking Yes
Not trying to sound bitter, but I'm delighted for Waterford after the farce that has been their season.
The craic with Henderson and nearly going out of business only to recklessly spend on more players has severely backfired for them. The begging bowls will be out soon for the savewaterfordunited foundation.
Bray 1-0 up at Half time, that would put Bray 3 points clear of Shels with two to play.
Limericks Sam Oji has been sent off for a second yellow. Still 1-0 to Bray with 25 or so minutes to play. Bray have just had a goal disallowed and apparently Taylor has been sent to the stands as well.
Good result for Bray, suspected they'd get the win. It'll be interesting to see how they get on in Dalymount Park on Friday night. A win for them will keep Bohs in the relegation mix going into the final day.
Pats 2 up... :-)
Pats strolling it, fair play - clearly the best team in the league and worthy champions.
Congrats to Pat's!
Fair play to Pats. Deserved it over the season. Main thing for us now is not to treat failing to retain the title as a crisis and keep the stability that's kept us near the top.
Enjoy your night in Inchicore - congratulations.
Congratulation to St. Patrick's Athletic on becoming league champions.
Winning the title with two games to spare is a measure of how much they deserve the trophy.
They'll be dancing in the streets of St Patrick's tonight!
Screw you Limerick.
Well done St. Pats.
worthy champions
Limerick one up on Shels, they're throwing everything at us. Kelly has missed several sitters.
Can't believe we actually beat Shels tonight with the team we had out. Due to injury, suspension or giving players the night off we were missing Curran, Oji, Gamble, O'Leary, Folan, Galbraith, Tracey, Axel and Williams was on the bench. Some of our under 19's gave a great account for themselves though. Shels didn't look up for the fight at all till about 15 minutes into the second half. They certainly had enough chances to win the game in the end though.
Wins a win. Bray can doom Shels with a point at Bohs. Limerick with an outside chance of 6th.
