I can't see Fingal or Waterford challenging to win the division now. We need 8 points to guarantee second which we should manage and even if we don't, Waterford and Fingal look like dropping more points. Hopefully Waterford will have nothing to play for in the last game too.
Unfortunately I find this hard to argue against. Our result tonight felt like a loss. Personally I think it will be UCD to win it with us having to play Shels at tolka, in the playoff.Quote:

I think Shels have a marginally tougher run in. Harps and Kildare are totally erratic, they could crumble or put up a good fight at home. I don't think Shels midweek game against Waterford will be tough as the Blues seem to have run out of steam and still have the cup to play in.
I'm going to tip Shels to win it. They should be able to negotiate their run in, they have the experience from last year and as it stands its in their hands. I'm at least pleased its become very likely we'll at least make the playoffs.
Looking at the remaining fixtures I like UCDs chances now . Shels were woeful last night and Quigley presented them with two goals .
Can't see why anyone wouldn't fancy Shels to be honest. We've both got a bunch of games against the lower teams in the league which we'd both be fancied to win. And we've both a game against Waterford which could go either way. Thankfully we can afford to drop a point more than UCD can from those. I know our game against Waterford is away but the RSC has never really been a fortress to us. Last night was the big one for us and we came out of it with a heroic result. Could go either way now but Shels have to be narrow favourites. Fingal and Waterford 99% out of it. Fancy Fingal to nick 3rd.
Best of a bad bunch.Quote:

What's wrong with that? That you have to travel to Waterford a few days after going to Harps??Quote:

We are down to ten men and our keeper gifts you s two goals and you call it heroic.:D Dude please.Quote:

I'm sure if yous had come from 2 nil down with 20 minutes left in a game as massive as that you'd be the exact same.Quote:

2 wins in their last 9 games? I think you might be clutching at straws there:oQuote:

+1. Limerick in the second half of last season would have been challenging for the title if they had that level of performance all season.Quote:
