Yes, the whole league. Every last one of them (and us).

Well you guys mustn't find your team very entertaining, on foot.ie while they play in a cup quarter final ;)
Are you basing your assessment of Cork solely off their game in Oriel? I've seen them a few times this year and they are easily the second best team in the league, and while Dundalk are better in my opinion the more talented team doesn't always win the league. Rovers and Pats are a good step below both Cork and Dundalk.
I wasn't in Dundalk either though listening to the radio it sounded like we were being carved open time and time again and it could have been 4-0 inside the first 20 minutes.
After 30 minutes I decided I wasn't enjoying listening to it and went out for a few pints instead and tried to ignore livescore.
That game aside the best team we have seen has been Sligo. They battered us in Turners Cross and were apparently very good in the Showgrounds as well.
We're great.
Those Cork lads are alright. Leave em alone.
Cork are more than a decent side and will certainly offer a very strong challenge to us in the run in. I was at that 4-0 win, I'm not sure they were that bad, I just think we were outstanding on the night and it could have been 5 or 6-0. You can't judge a side on one game, it's the reaction after and apart from losing to Pats a week later, they won something like 8 from the next 9.
Anyway back in topic, what's the latest on transfers with any side? I can't see Dlk taking anyone else in, McDermott appears to be the only bit of business for us.
We have the basis of a very good side but still have some way to go.
We are building a very good squad of young players but it will take time & anything we get this season will be a bonus.
The main thing is that we are going in the right direction.
Dundalk have to be favourites for me.
I know they have an advantage with that rubber pitch of theirs but they are a very good side.
I think that was me.
Who can blame me as everytime I saw them they were on the ground most of the time :)
I have watched Cork a few times this season and admire and respect their work rate and determination. They have attributes that can win a league title.
This year they are up against a Dundalk side who can more than match those attributes but also add quality.
That quality should count in the end.
This Dundalk side are miles ahead of Cork and the points difference between the 2 sides at the end of the season will show that.
In fact they're currently miles better than anyone else in the league. Losing only once since the first game of the season is incredible and that defeat was 3 months ago.
Anthony Elding sitting in the Showgrounds again for last nights game. Wonder does he regret the wanderlust ? Nutsy should make him his first signing, a perfect foil for Kilduff ... if he hasn't decamped to the banks of the Camac.
He's signed with Ballinamallard
When does the Window close for LOI players, is it end of July just for transfers within the league or can you take in or move out a player to UK for eg up to end of Aug when their window closes?
Sligo release Gaynor, renew Donelan and Keating until 2015:

Galway FC In - Paddy Barrett (WUFC)
Be delighted if we sign Gaynor as rumoured, surprised Sligo let him go.
A few people in Sligo happy to see Gaynor go. Not me. Quality player never used right - played out of position. If we're planning to let players of his quality go and expect to replace them with kids we could be looking at an extended spell in the doldrums.
It's refreshing to be crap and not linked with anyone anymore.
He's agreed to join Pats at the end of the year hasn't he??
Just a rumour, no idea if true.

Just to clarify for anyone wondering aswell those yanks are from the 4th (FOURTH) tier of the Americans leagues.
Which is one tier below the ladies league afaik.
He had one good season the year we won the league and was living off that all last season. He has been terrible this season. This 'played out of position' thing is also crap. He has publically said that he seen himself as a left back and that was his preferred position. His defending is nowhere near good enough ... his positioning is absolutely dreadful and his decision making is way off. Dead balls was always his strength and they have been below average this season.
At least Djilali has improved the last few weeks but fitness is still not there with him.
Gaynor has been very poor for quite a long time. Seeing as we have nothing left to play for good to decrease the wage bill somewhat. Pretty obvious that Coleman didn't rate him.
