Don't be worrying about me, I might be going down but I'll come back fighting next season...you'll see;)
Thinking about merging the two divisions sligoman?:D;)
It has crossed my mind yes:p.Quote:

Only Alberts and us will remain from the original sides always in the top flight
Cup semis
Landenstown Forest - Loftys Lazy 11
Provisional SRFC - Patsys Fags
dfx- don't really want to sell that player, bit short of his current valuation anyway;)
Made a derisory offer to you too? ;) :DQuote:

Yeah, but can you apply for another team in that league...as far as I know you should
looprevil slipped up today!starlets on top now, new signing reto cloche (first 7 rated player we got) had a stormer, beat lee fc 7-0. hopefuly stay top for rest of the season!!
Burton Albion and Landenstown now out of the race for the title, as an understrength us beat the latter, though the Burts did for the Pants, putting Provos and us first and second.
UCD v Lofty's will be a big must win game next week - a draw removes both of them from the picture seeing as Provos have 4 points on both of them. Pants have the walkover next week, and we have Workington, who unseated our hopes early in the season.
Provos have to be the favourites, and only slim hopes for Pants and Alberts. I'm off to buy Fags and UCD scarves in hope;)
5-1 against the relegated hatchetmen :D Concentrating on Valentia when we're in that mood is dangerous. Nine goals in three days and Davidsson bags four. Liffey again shows he was a bargain :p
Alberts should go top if our poor record at Patsy's Fags continues. We just beat them at home and I think we've only once or twice in 8 games at Pairc Aban Naofa.
Burton Albion have beaten the top three at home now and still are only sixth. One point between 2nd and 5th:eek:
No chance - we're level on goal diff with Pants and only above them on goals scored they'll leapfrog us when they hammer Sligo next week - we'd have to score at least 6 at the current exchange rate people are getting in the Showgies never mind in a home game. The Alberts will have to rely on the Fags to get two home wins (would take them above Sligo!!) and UCD away next week to have a hope, and that is BEFORE having two tough home games against Workington and the Burts (who for the record have only beaten me away - that could change in two weeks though:o)Quote:

I think Alberts should and will take six points giving them 34.
Patsy's Fags are a very good and dangerous side and still in the semis of the cup. I think they'll win both their games, finish ahead of the Sligs as is their rightful place.
So Pants will add three to their total making it 31 for them.
So if we beat UCD, we'll end up on 34, but we will have a worse goal difference than Alberts and Alberts will lift the title...and sligoman will be safe from lofty's bet:D Either way Patsy's Fags should determine the winner of the league
Alberts 34
Provos 34
Pants 31
I take comfort [in being relegated] in injuring yer precious Barra and ending his season...hope it stops you from winning the title:p.Quote:

If I had been a bit more consistent away from home I'd be finishing 3rd.
As it is I'll probably finish a point behind 3rd.
Watch out next season. I've a few youngsters who'll improve big time and a fair bit of money in the bank to improve the squad further.
Last three games at the Empress:Quote:

and you're brining an if into this :D
I can re-appoint you manager of your previous team then if you want? Not a lot more I can do I don't think.
Not too much a difference overall between your current team and the team you want anyway lucanhoop87. One is stronger than the other in one area and vice versa.
Landenstown Forest 2-4 Lofty's Lazy 11
Provisional SRFC 2-1 Patsy's Fags
Great result considering the side we put out and the side we were up against.
we lost on penalties......... lucky it got that far:( Season effectively over now. :(
Potentially good results for me - a strong need for revenge felt by the fags, and Lofty's and the Provos more games have more games to get injured in. I do not think for one minute that third place is a banker.Quote:

The amount of injuries that my team has been hit with this season is gone beyond a joke.:mad: A lot of them happen even if i dont have the thing turned to bruise! Seem to pick up on average about an injury a game.
Hopefully I can go out on a high note and leave the division with a win
I see a quick return for the Fags don't know about the Sligs though:p Ah no only joking sligoman...
If it remains 3 up again then I expect to come back up as the level of inactivity in the First Division is shocking.
Do you think a single division might be a better option?
If its like that, I think it would be anyway.
I don't wanna say anything cos I'd expect others, especially dfx, to come along and say how I'm only doing it cos I was going down:p.
One division and two league matches a week are my votes for next season....as this season was too:p
Don't worry, your relegation will still be noted :p
Agree with you dfx- would like to have a cup as well and give me a small chance of winning something:o but that wouldn't be possible. :(
I'd be inclined to vote for two divisions and two cups myself, but I would be quick to say that we should really not make this decision until we all know how many teams are signing up for next year first. By my estimate there are 14 or 15 potentially active members here, so I am reckoning that two divisions of 8 might make for a shorter and more active season, with three up and three down it would also lead to a bigger scramble, and more interest in games. It would be a 14 week season, and that should also ensure that two cups (a two legged and a one-off) could run with the minimum of a break.
This obviously would depend on numbers though. Let's finish the season and see who is in for next season before we make any firm decisions first, shall we?
If you're looking for new managers I'd be interested. Just let me know what I have to do.
Some set of results this week!:eek:
And to think that not being able to do the business at home against two sides in the relegation zone has cost me a chance of winning the league on the last day, when I'm able to do that to Loftys.:mad::mad:
Provos beware.
After tonight's results, I'll be finishing on top of the relegation zone unlike what ye shower predicted with the fags:pQuote:

Got stuffed tonight. Wasn't expecting a result as I put out my youth keeper to get him the required experience.
I've tried to re-appoint you but it doesn't seem to be working. Not sure what the story is, I'll try again during close season.Quote:

I've managed to put a few past both the Provos and, spectacularly, five past Lofty's a couple of weeks back.Quote:

Check out the week's Xpert Eleven - completely dominated by the Boys, except for one sole Rambler.
A win away to the lowely youths and the mighty starlets will be crowned champs!that or a favour from our friends down in cobh!is there a prize for winning it?
See why I brought an if into all this now?:DQuote:

1-3 Lofty's Lazy 11 (a)
2-2 Alberts (a)
Dream away results, yet it could be a draw against Burts at home and that defeat to Sligo which cost us:mad:
