I was thinking "black" but then decided against it and thought I was being more politically correct putting "coloured", it's a minefield!!*
Ya, the second is a big big game for us, with the point being that given our resources it shouldn't be!! If we don't win (and for the life of me I can't see us winning the way we're playing) then it could be a very interesting, hectic, mid season break on Shannonside.
*Not a pun about minefields in war torn African areas, I hate those things.
Being a (relatively) experienced LOI fan I just keep expecting us to blow up some time soon. We might well do so yet but I was quite convinced we'd be beaten away in Limerick and Waterford. Three wins from three against both teams is decidedly unexpected. Reaping the rewards of keeping the nucleus of a squad together for the last three years maybe.
If ye get a couple of key injuries ye'll die a death.
But there probably isn't a club in the country you wouldn't say the same about.
So luck comes into it. (which again it really, really, shouldn't!!)
So we're screwed. :)
We'd die a relative death in that ye'd probably overtake us. I'd still back us with a 9 point head start on everyone else already. Our midfield this year is key, touch wood Kirbs, Salmon and a much more effective than last year Gillespie stay fit. Colly James missed out tonight, he's been excellent this year too.
Oh ya I was talking about the title in fairnes.
For a top two finish Longford are

In the race for the top two Waterford beat us twice and still find themselves seven points behind us, Athlone are neither here nor there (could beat us next week mind!), Wexford are poor and Harps are an absolute disaster. The sooner it settles into an SPL style shootout the better for all concerned.
Coloured is not politically correct. Black is perfectly fine to say, except in the States for some reason. Saying 'coloured' implies that there are two types of people: white people and non-white people. It's a bit silly if you think about it. Plus white is a colour so it's equally bogey from a scientific standpoint.Quote:

Which means I can spend all my Saturday scratching, nice one. :good:
Yes, now that I think of it though it doesn't matter a whole hell of a lot if you finish second or third, it's a one off game to play the Premier Division team isn't it? Lord knows what could happen in a one off, particularly if third place happens to be Athlone, "form goes out the window..blah blah.." We'll just have to try and make sure we go straight up!Quote:

Massive game today, the bit of poo will have a 7 point lead if they beat Rovers today...
Sorry to be the one to break it to you but it would be an 8 point lead.Quote:

Jaysus worse than I thought...
Can't see anything other than a draw in today's game, neither side will fancy losing and I'm not sure there's a whole pile between them.
I hope Pats win the league cos they've looked the best footballing team in it so far.
On our result last night, I think we've improved massively since the start of the season, still not perfect but I'd be expecting a top 5 finish come the end of the season.
You dont say. If our lot where still playing to this minute they still wouldnt have scored. Bray are no great shakes either.Quote:

With Kirby, Gillespie in the middle they actually move the ball a lot quicker than most sides in the division. Longford and Limerick are the more experienced sides in the division and are expected to where you are. But those players are not going to be around forever. Short term gains doesn't always make a side good for the long term.
How you can say our side is poor is shocking statement to come out with. Our results and performances show the progress Shane Keegan has made in a short space of time. We have recovered well from the back to back defeats to yourselves and Waterford. Unfortunate against Longford last week and at home. Even Longford fans seen us up close and we gave more than a good account against them.
Shamrocks keeper is shocking
Nice strike by North but terrible positioning by the keeper.
That was incredible.
Agree that ye are one of the better footballing sides around. While in a lot of games we have been playing like stoke, that night we most certainly did not and kept it on the deck. Bradley ran the show picking up the ball from the defence and bringing it up the field playing decent passes. Every Wexford fan I was talking to that night agreed.Quote:
