Seriously though, it's a good question and it wouldn't surprise me if the FAI don't have a contingency plan for such an eventuality. It might be based on points won head to head, in which case you'd have it.

If EVERYTHING is level after the last game, total pts, goal diff, goals scored, goals conceded, no. of games won, no. of drawn games etc.. i think it goes down to a head to head record

Not lots drawn?

That sounds much more like what the FAI would resort to..

I assume you took that off soccerbot ya??2000000000000000000/1 that that aint the final table!! They have Shams down for 72 points requiring 3 wins and Fingal on 57 but this would require at least a draw against Shams on Saturday.

Janey, forgot about Clause 16.2 (4c).
It always catches me out.

I think they're busy enough trying to find some space for all the winters supply of fudge. Priorities people!

The old attempting to scud it in your own club's favour trick. Nice.

It's been on my mind. There were 2 massif tins of Cadbury's Roses in the office yesterday.

We've had play-offs before. This was in a time before goal difference wa recognised, as I recall. Had it been recognised, Cork would have won. Instead, after a double play-off and four extra games each, Shels won.

Dublin bias? Never!

He has been disciplined for not taking advantage of our Rovers friends generosity.

The new international format of Friday-Tuesday games is good for the Airtricity League. They'll have to exploit it more with Tuesday/Wednesday games before the Friday, then Saturday/Sunday games followed by Wednesday/Thursday/Friday games. The gaps are there with little rivals on those days and should be used to the max to promote the league.

Here's hoping for plenty of promotion of Saturday and Sunday's games during this evening's international match!

Saturday..Saturday really matters.

I guess you're really, really sick then? Unless this doesn't matter either?

Not at all - sure we all know the game on Tuesday was what really really mattered.

Wrong. Bohs would have won it on goal difference.

�t will be great comin back to drogheda next season we havent met them since the 2007 season... commiserartions to the drogs fans.. like us drogs had eight seasons on the bounce in the top flight and then they declined rapidly within three seasons after winning their last trophy like us

I recall a Drogs fan coming on the Forza website a couple of years ago saying how Boco was a great player and talking about how they would lure him away as they could offer him more money and to play football in the Champs league.
I wonder where that toss pot is now?
Better off keeping shtum with talk like that when you have a bit of success in this league.

I can't believe the way it has changed at the top. Boh's have done great to cut the lead and get ahead of Rovers, will they be able to stay there now?
10/10/2010, 8:49 PM
Nah Nah Nah Nah

They're not down yet. There's still a very, very small chance of them finishing ahead of Bray

It has been a crazy last 10-15 years for Drogheda, promotion/relegation followed by more promotion/relegation, finally stabilising in the premier division, winning the FAI Cup, Setanta Cups and importantly the league. Almost knocking out Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League, examinership followed soon later, fans rallying to save the club and duly succeed. As a result the team has struggled on the pitch.

But we'll be back ;)

Ye were terribly unlucky not to have knocked out Kiev, it was a terrible miss at the end of the game. I'm sure ye'll bounce back from Division One but it is a tough division.

What did that poster that you kindly put up in Dundalk a few years ago say?

"You ain't seen nothin' yet". You weren't lying.

Supporting Drogheda United must be like being on a rollercoaster 24-7.
