He was at Limerick, very strong end to the season there, think he scored 8 or 9 goals in the league.Quote:

I can see Dundalk falling away a little this year and expect Rovers and Cork to be more consistent. Positions 4-9 in the premier division could be in any order, and if any of them get a particularly strong start there might even be a chance to break out and challenge for the title.
The first also looks like it could be very unpredictable. A lot of expectation on Limerick, and they haven't dealt very well with high expectations in the past, Drogheda look like they'll be strong and with less expected from them they might take the automatic promotion spot. Shels and UCD should be solid too and any one other than Cabinteely and probably Athlone could realistically have a chance if they can gather momentum. It should be a very interesting season.

The first division will surely be between your top 3. It's interesting that you put Cobh 4th. I also expect them to be strong enough this season, but they're not going to win anything.Quote:

We've shed a lot of players. That might not be a bad thing however. We've some interesting new faces coming in, a strong looking defence and have held on to Christy Fagan, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Don't see us winning it but we might be 2/3. Have a feeling it might be Corks year. Bolgers a superb signing for them. Three in a row is a big task for Dundalk, Rovers seem to be pretty stagnant, and I think Bohs may have over achieved last year. Bray could be the surprise package. Can only see Wexford and Harps battling for the drop.Quote:

Did quite well last year with both divisions and top scorers , 4 out of 4, mind ya:D.............so here goes for 2016
Dundalk again to win, Horgan will be banging in the goals (22/1)..........
I also expect Bray W to continue where they left off last season..............really see them pushing for a top 5 .....
I have backed Longford to be relegated (11/2), half the team is gone, and i dont rate Cousin's at all.
I am going to stick my neck out for the First and go for Shels, they have really strengthened since last year, had a good pre season, got a decent striker.
My head says UCD, but i have a soft spot for Shels (15/2)
K M Waters at 10/1 for top scorer is nice
Bray to finish 2nd......
The Indo has a decent two page colour preview on the 2016 season in today’s paper. Daniel McD has gone for 1.Dlk, 2.Rovers 3.Cork 4.Pats.
After seeing most of last week’s Presidents Cup game I wouldn’t have put Cork as 3rd.
I still think Dundalk will win it, but it will be back to 2014 narrow margins if we do.

On the paper it looks like a very equal division, with several teams having very nice first 11, however we know how many players quit during the season in this league and it makes it very difficult to predict

Anyone predicting Wexford not to finish bottom will be in for a shock when they eventually play them. Absolutely awful.
Stupid comment after 1 game, especially against a team who only got out of their own half 3 times in the 2nd period. Longford should have adapted to the Premier Division standard but it is a long time since I've seen an opposing side gasping for breath so early in a game. I acknowledge we didn't play to the standard required, but that is because we didn't 'click' on the night, rather than because our players aren't capable. We'll be fine
Wexford aren't as bad as Outspoken has made them out to be. I expect them to give a few teams a good rattle down in Ferrycarraig as the season goes on. We were dire but the pitch and weather conditions were awful and didn't help either side. We got 3 chances and took two of them. Wexford had plenty of the possession but the final ball just wasn't there for them last night. 2-0 flattered us and I would not of begrudged the Youths a draw.
Fair analysis of the gameQuote:

Exactly. Longford played extremely negative football in the second half and yet long throws were Wexford's main attacking threat, we never looked like conceding. Wexford are a fit side no doubt but they don't have anywhere near the class required. That's not me bigging Longford up either, we were very poor on the night and makes me think I'd be delighted if we finish 10thQuote:

Some very close predictions on here.
Looks like Derry city are the most surprise team of the year.
I enjoyed reading the rvrs fans prediction about how many games our four European qualifiers would get to play!
Enjoy reading it back guys.
Ouch!Quote:

Maybe try a table tennis forum guys :good:
I was way out on Derry (8th), its odds on they will secure 3rd and have already qualified for Europe. Kenny Shiels might be a bit mental at times, but he has done a smashing job at Derry in his first year. I wouldn't imagine he had a huge budget either.
I think we're all surprised by how this season has gone. I genuinely thought we'd be fighting against relegation, even moreso after losing on the opening night in Ballybofey.Quote:

Got a link for that table tennis forum? Hanging my head in shame over those predictions.Quote:

I was quite good this year, I failed with Derry and Cobh, plus EA Sports final and Goalscorers, quite close in all the other calls
I got Finn Harps in the correct place. That's all that matters.
