The worrying thing for Fingal is what will happen if they don't achieve promotion this season. Will the plug be pulled?
I'm guessing the amount they're spending on wages is more than about 50% of Premier Division clubs. I'd also wonder how they're staying within the 65% limit on expenditure.
To be fair crowds have been bigger than I thought they'd be but I can't help feeling they could turn out to be another Dublin City.
He's always laughing at you ;)Quote:

Move over ladies,Harps are on their best run of the season!:p
Big one tonight between ourselves and UCD. We need to win to get back on track.
best side of the monaghan home games ive seen so far has been fingal, though i have yet to see ucd or waterford play yet.
Not sure what result I'd like for this game. Suppose I'd be glad of a draw with us winning at home to Wexford. :pQuote:

To be honest, saying which side looked best when you saw them having mainly all only played each other once is a bit mad. We're in the First Division, results are all that count, Cobh Ramblers were not a particularly impressive side, nor were Dundalk. If you're looking for the most impressive side, in a win, it'll probably always be Fingal, but if they screw it by not being bothered in every game, then its irrelevant, and thats whats happened so far. Shels have probably been the least impressive in their games this season, but at the moment are probably in the best position to win this league. Just off the 2 at the top, with a more in depth squad to last the season, without the problems that seem to be arising at Fingal. As I've said, before though, I reckon one of the other 3 will prove able to finish the race, and we'll finish 2nd, couldn't say who though.
Good win last night. Puts us back on track. Im hoping at least one of the other two contenders slips up this weekend
It was a good result, but not a good performance. If Fingal keep playing like that, they won't win the league anyway. Still a poor side for what's out on the pitch and what's being spent.
I predicted a while back that the number of chances we miss would come back to haunt us. No goals in three games now; Killer's on two in nine, Dave Mac on none in the same time. Need to get back scoring goals. Monaghan, Harps, Arklow and Kildare next up; hopefully we'll get back on form there.
Agreed.Quote:

Having seen all the top 4 teams play this season at least once Waterford look the best IMO. Was not at Shels Wexford game last week but by all reports Shels where very poor even Keely had some choice words in a post match interview on supporters club website.
UCD looked to reliant on one player and it was just something about Fingal players body language that put me off when I have seen them this year
Tonight I realised we actually are going to win this league, we keep grinding these wins out of nowhere, god knows what we'll be like, when we actually start playing to our ability.
Shels could have finished the game in the first half, they let Mons back into it in the second half and looked very jittery defending a one goal lead. Flood ran his socks off though, even when he was left holding the ball up with little support when Shels were holding onto the one goal lead. Took his (deserved) goal well.
Also, Bermingham's was a nice piece of skill.
This game at home to Waterford is big now. A win next Friday would leave us in a very strong position. As CSF said we will start playing well eventually so the fact that were keeping pace so far is cause for optimism. Id take a play off spot without a doubt but who knows if we can keep grinding out these wins we have a shout at winning the division
Yeah, it really is getting annoying now! :mad:Quote:
