You have 3 sides that'll be playing for nothing. Longford up next for you and in 8 games -v- the top (I use this term lightly) 4 so far this season they have lost 7 and drew 1. That point coming against in Tolka. You'll be 7 points clear of us by the time we play next.Quote:

Fingal's second goal arising from bad marking at a a corner killed us. At that stage it became obvious we had nothing to play for. Probably our best defender McCarthy was missing as well which didn't help matters at all.
Misleading? Longford was brutal :) The penalty was awarded after a longford chap decided to go to ground from the slightest of challenge. The peno was poor and easily saved. You hit the woodwork once, players kept slicing the ball in front of goal and Fingal wasnt even at half speed :)
Sadly we're not immune to slip ups either. We found it difficult to put away Mervue and Athlone, who we still have to face, proved a banana skin on Friday night for you. We're a single mistake from losing this title. Our squad only have experience of being relegated or no LOI experience at all.Quote:

UCD no more have the title in the bag than Shels did a few short games ago. We've already dropped points to Athlone and Waterford for a start. Last night was the most nervy I've seen us play in a long while (although the Mervue keeper did keep them in the game; we ended up with 34 shots to Mervue's 5).
That said, I still think Shels have dropped points in them, and the ideal position for us would obviously be for the last game against Waterford to be irrelevant. Two more wins for us, and one draw for Shels would all but mathematically be enough for that (even allowing that Shels have to play Kildare on the last day)
We played at half pace and still beat you 4-0 :)Quote:

You are not in a position to tell anyone to get a few fans now are you.
Honestly, what makes you so confident about that?Quote:

Eh, is it not Shels who have two games in hand over Fingal? :confused:Quote:

I think Finn harps will get a result on saturday and waterford on tues and that will bring it down to the last game.
Dammit Lep, you've jinxed us to feck.
Hope not, i'll be sending loads of positive energy your way;)
You don't think these things. You hope these things.Quote:

I'm more confident of us beating Harps now. We're no longer the team being chased and I think that will suit us.
