Have to say, really poor promotion of the games tonight on most of the Irish football websites. Most of them have the fixture dates completely wrong.
You left out Wexford :mad:Quote:

Sixth place within reach of the Youths especially with a win tonight. That was the goal at the start of the season so not bad so far.
I didn't even know there was another extra first division series until someone posted the games in the predictions league forum!Quote:

First things first the Lilywhites must win in Longford and I've no doubt that they will. With that in mind I'd hope for a draw between fingal and Limerick just to halt their momentum. Wexford Kildare is anybodys game but I wouldn't put it past Athlone and Monaghan to get something out of their games. As far as I can remeber no of the top 4 sides has come out of KCP with 3 points this season and athlone are on a decent run.
Hoping Lims and Longford will do us a favour tonight. Can't see us winning in Monaghan. ****ing bogey team away.
How are we everyone's bogey team but we rarely win? Weird that! :D
We've beaten Shelbourne on their last 4 visits to Monaghan
And we cant score in gortakeegan!!!
neither can weQuote:

Best in the league.
And ye are still no amazing shakes, the standards are so poor in the First. Any team with a half decent squad who can string a few passes together will go a long way. Should have taken the lead before half time. Few good chances. Dundalk got a good goal for their first. Then we change the defence around and they get an easy second with a decent one two and a free header fo the third.
Made a nice few quid on Dundalk tonight. Very happy with their win.
Sporting up to 2nd now! Who'd have thunk it?
If this is true I think Fingal will win the division easilyQuote:

With Hynes Beanz starting for them? :eek:Quote:

Baker undecided on Dundalk or Fingal.

he would be better on the ball but not as good in the air or holding up. makes more goals than he scores, set up 2 last night against limerick.Quote:

you dont have to be quick to play in premier. look at myler, crowe, mooney, o neill, zayed, fitzpatrick, o brien etc, all not very quick but very good premier players.Quote:

Robbie (I want a world record for the amount of teams I play for) Doyle is a waste of space and he is not good enough even for me to lend him my fiancee's tights (effin Prima donna). How many goals has Doyle from open play?Quote:

i dont think so. yous will bottle it as usual. it will be shels or fingals league. enjoy another year in the 1st div,:)Quote:

By the time our players came back they where not match fit and cobh and harps had an unbelievable momentum behind them to win the league. This season will go down to the wire I think you will agree and we will be fighting tooth and nail with the Shels, Waterford, Fingal for the title.
My Original assumption was always that a team win 3 or less defeats and a goals against target of less than 20 goals would win this league but I think we are looking at the lowest points finish for the champions
you cant blame injuries, every team suffers from injuries and suspensions throughout the season, it how you deal with them. thats y teams need good squads and not jus a good starting 11.Quote:
