I have the teams grouped and the bottom three could finish in any order. I picked Longford ahead of Galway on the basis that they have some players I've heard of and I don't think Galway have any (unless Fran Carter is still on the go).

You've only heard of Super Fran, who's now gone. Unbelievable

O'Flynn from Derry
Goalkeeper Rogers from Drogheda
Alan Murphy
Wes Charles (St Vincents and Grenadine international)
Cleary from the Claddagh.

Household names.

I know that but he spent 3 seasons as first choice for Drogheda so that's maybe where people might well know him from.

Is that the Alan Murphy who was at Drogheda a few years back? Still, looking at your list of houshold names* I'm even more sure in my bottom three prediction.

*I'm reasonably confidant that I'm the only member of my household to have heard any of these names.

Sorry if you failed to notice my sarcastic tone. We may not have any "household" names but I think the change to professional football will bring on a lot of our supposedly 1st Division players. Only time will tell of course but I think we'll survive comfortably enough this year. Anyway, sure we have a handy 3 points in our last game of the season if it comes down to it.:)

I hope so, we should be well into our end of season friendlys at that stage. We'll see how your supposedly 1st Division players match up against our U21s.

Al,
Alot of the UCD fans have a serious grudge against Galway so take their predictions with a pinch of salt.The fact that he's pretending not to know that Alan Murphy(former UTD and Derry) is playing with us sums it all up.

Not to mention us good natured Limerick fans who hope your mockery of a club crash and burn Conor :)

He knows Alan Murphy very well.

I think Galway fans would want to stop taking things so personally and realise that they're just a small team who didn't even do enough to get promoted on the pitch last year, which points to a long season ahead when you consider that teams who were strong enough to get promoted often struggle.

I looked him up on wiki there (having genuinely not heard of him) and it's a different Alan Murphy. In any case, the football will restart soon and these off season filling discussions will be a thing of the past.

If Galway are relying on Chris Armstrong up front they have problems. We have no strikers and still wouldn't re-sign him...

Longford's first XI is better than Galway's IMO.

Its not looking to good for us this yr from looking at all those predictions. I think we will hold our own because we wont have alot of pressure or expectations on our team. We were only promoted 2 weeks ago and only built a 1st Division team so i think the players will up there game against so called "Better Teams"!!!!

Well i really hope that happens anyway.

I can see Longford in trouble this season. They have major debts. Most clubs in the premier will have budgeted properly, but Longford are starting off the season owing players big sums of money.
