the question is, will you be in the premier next season now that you have no A license?Quote:
we could well nick it 1-0, keep us up
I know that you're probably educated to the most basic level, without any understanding of simple maths, but a win for Shambolic Rovers tonight wont hand Derry the title. :rolleyes:Quote:

Another thing is that when Derry or Cork do win the league neither of them will have thrown it away, both teams will have surpassed the amount of points ever gained in the EL's history....Derry on Friday night broke the points record which was held by shels at 68 points, it now stands at 69 points... this shows how close the league has been this year and how GOOD both teams have been.As a Derry fan i obviously hope we win it, if we don't hey theres always next year as this season has been a major success already!! But also id like to see it happen for two other reasons 1. the one person who deserves a winners medal this year is Stephen Kenny what he has done in the last year is absolutley phenomenal and the 2nd. Derry City Fans are not only the best but i believe the most loyal fans in this country, as we have witnessed in the past few years.
Here's to a great end to the season!!
Ah mypost thats the spirit not the defeatist attitude of some!
I refer to my thread a few months back that Rico is a bottler
and that its momentum at this state that will decide
And Rico just doesnt win league titles
Now he would much Rather lose it this week than the last day
of the season he couldnt go through that pain again
his lucky hat was nicked what more proof do you need
Rovers are septic but will still win and
Shels will all have hard ones knowing that they could cost Cork the title
statisticly we've more points per game played, and tonight, statisticly we'll have more points. so how could you be more consistant?Quote:

If we win tonight, that will change to something like this...
Cork City 31 21 7 3 50 18 70
Derry City 31 21 6 4 54 23 69
How does that make you does that make us not as good as you?
By the way, everyone thinks their own fans are great.
Self praise is no praise.
i'll correct myself: we have the same number of average points in this league, with the chance of bettering it tonight. now if you want to start throwing in conditions, what if we include cup games?
Yeah no bother lad's include cup games but don't leave out league cup games :D
did our kids play in that this year? was that between the Setanta and the UEFA cups, yeah?Quote:

i didnt say they didnt count. look, the best measuring point of consistency before a league finishes is average points. at the moment, both clubs are on 2.2. just because you've managed to claw back points in games which you've looked like losing points does not make you more consistant. personally i'd use the word jammy but sure all that matters is the points ;)Quote:

what was that phrase you lot kept using? "when your name's on the trophy..."Quote:

This is another thread that's gone to absolute sh!te on here though.
An interesting question is posed but instead of actually discussing the topic we have people on all sides having cuts off each other and each other's clubs with hardly any intelligent comment within 3 pages.
Anyone else sick of it?
aye just you keep thinking it was me using that post, i havent mentioned that once!!
"Anyone else sick of it?"
Yes. Most of this thread is like a school playground. The 'retard' comment being a particular low.
anyway, tiktok, mypost's second paragraph sums it up. They're also fighting for their lives. I'd hate to call it, but hopefully, for our sake, Cork will sneak it.
Tonight is a big night for Cork City and their title chances.
They need a victory and a convincing one at that.
The last thing they want is having to face Shelbourne and Derry coming off the back of 3 bad results.
And whatever team win the league,are the better team.
We had to listen to the same crap in 1997 when we won the league by 10 points. People like Ricco proclaiming that the better football sides didn't win the league.
In my opinion, the team with the most points at the end are the best.
C'mon Rovers:D
A 1-0 win will do,why does it have to be convincing?as long as we have more points at the end of the season,goal difference wont come in to play
I just feel that a convincing victory for Cork tonight would give them a better mental edge for their last 2 games away to Shels and home to Derry.Quote:

i never said i thought you would choke, i said i would prefer to see Derry win it.Quote:

i think they are more deserving of the title as a club, even though i would acknowledge that cork are the better footballing side, insofar as that matters in the EL.
with the exception of you peader, you are magnificent!! :D
Derry have come from nowhere this season and most of their fans are in shock. If they win the league it wont be long before you're calling them arrogant and get sick of listening to them go on about how great they are.Quote:

Funny we won the league in 1997 almost a double and we won the Cup in 1995 almost a double......... Five years yes, but ten:confused:Quote:

Rico could go into the last game of the season needing only to get a result at home to win the league.
Lads, there's no way he'd blow something like that, surely :)
at what stage of this season did fenlon bottle it?Quote:

i think the majority of non-cities fans would agree on this, you set yourselves up for a fall by being so co.ck-sure of winning so early on, whereas derry quietly went about their business.
im sure you will all be back watching rugby again in a few seasons when it all goes tits up (again)
He didn't, at any stage of the season, 'bottle it' :confused:Quote:

You'd be correct.Quote:

We were the last two years running though.
last time i was at a rovers @ home game, a pint glass was thrown into our section. since i quit my job last month, myself and the missus have been to every away game but i'd rather not bring her anywhere near you scum for this one.Quote:

another reason i want derry to win it, they dont bury their heads in the sand about the (rare) nastiness that comes from their fans like you do.
"you scum" blah blah.
Who won the FAI Cup last year or the year before for that matter?Quote:
