well hoss i cant wait 'til 16th March te we find out who has better mid ;) take it you aint seen Shields play before? and has Alan Moore not gone to Bohs on pay per play? I find it funny hows Shels fans come on saying how good they will be when:
1. they dont have a squad and
2. you dont know what positions the players ye have play
3. you dont know much about Div.1 (may need to get used to it :D )
i predict ye to have hatchet men smashin into tackles, keeper playin long ball up to 2 20stone 6'5" strikers and having shots well going by previous Keeley sides anyway :L

Conor if we were WUMs we'd constantly go on about Galway being the most homoerotic club in Ireland (confetti throwing, the gayest flag in Irish football , etc.) but we don't. We leave the Galway boys celebrate the most pathetic promotion in Irish football history because, well your club has had very few high points Conor, and every dog needs to be let out in the sun for a while. I'm just praying that we get Galway in the cup so we can so you prancing about with the gayest flag in Irish football fluttering in the background, whilst throwing confetti in the air, because we all need a laugh at times, and Lord knows GUFC have provided us with those throughout the years

Based on my recently aquired knowledge of 'The Graveyard' and what little info i read here i'd base my best guess as this...

1-3
Dundalk
Finn Harps
Shelbourne

4-5
Athlone Town
Cobh Ramblers

6-10
Monaghan United
Limerick 37
Kildare County
Wexford Youths
Kilkenny City

Though i wouldnt be suprised to see 4 & 5 go either way, ie challenge the top 3 or get dragged into the general mire at the bottom!

I will when we find out if we are in the division!

dont be stupid of course your in the division you dont have a premier license so you cant play there,

Yeah, but if they don't meet certain conditions then it's time to apply to the LSL.

I think he is injured at the moment, hamstring gone again from what I heard but as Ash said excellent player WHEN he is fit.

No, he's a full back. About 5 foot and a peanut :D Wasn't good enough at premier level last year but should do well in the 1st division.

He's now committed to Harps ahead of work and should do very well indeed in the Ericom First.

Tony Shields is a space cadet though, at least he was while he was (briefly) down here. Lock him in a room on his own and he'd eventually beat himself up. Maybe he's calmed down a bit since, but he left here under a very, very big cloud let's say.
Otherwise I'd say you are on or near the mark with your overview Mr T, though I think Shels will struggle a bit more.

Do they have licenses for the LSL:confused: Could be off to the UCD Superleague yet...:p

Shels fans (and I mean the 3 of them) are one loopy bunch of souls they will be nowhere near the top Dundalk will walk it .:)

Jeeesh I could be in for a long season so..... :rolleyes:

To be fair Conor, there had been 58 hassle-free posts (regarding the usual Limerick vs Galway crap) until you chipped in with this.

If I remember correctly, you also contributed to a short-lived thread on ideas for names for the new Limerick club................your contribution was........let me recall it........."Vermin FC."

Think twice before calling others WUM I'd say.

Odds now available again on Paddy Power after Shels squad has been announced.

It's difficult to see anyone other than Dundalk winning the league - so they're now 5/4 favourites. Harps are 4/1 second favourites with Shels at 5/1.

http://www.paddypower.com/bet?action...762&bir_index=

Dundalk 5 - 4
Finn Harps 4 - 1
Shelbourne 5 - 1
Athlone Town 13 - 2
Cobh Ramblers 8 - 1
Limerick 37 14 - 1
Kildare County 20 - 1
Monaghan United 22 - 1
Kilkenny City 40 - 1
Wexford Youths 40 - 1

Dundalk by a street & if Drogs get over their Setanta wobble it could be a Louth double.

Cobh best value at 8-1

Athlone, Harps & Mons in with a shout

4-1 i'll have some of that. :D only thing is lack of pre-season games, other than that we should be able to do the bizz.

8-1 ill take a part eachway:eek:
14-1 l37 good odds for a new club
