Might have trouble getting by Dundalk though. particularly if they're depressed at throwing the league awayQuote:

Its all a bit Gah isn't it? as many big days as possible.... what's wrong with automatic two up/ two down?

Quite worried people seemed to have jumped to the Play Off final v Waterford Utd. Not saying you have Jebus. Just from what i'm reading here and elsewhere. Still Dundalk have got to be got past and while they have faded badly and are missing key players in Williams, Vaughan and now Philly Hughes its a one off game and they will be up for it.Quote:

Seems really unfair that Harps have to play a team who finished ten points behind them just to get to play a team who shouldn't have been in the prem in the first place - best of luck, anyway; I'd much rather a trip to Ballybofey than to either Oriel or the RSC next year.
A few of us travelled up to Buckley Park last night to see the game between harps and Kilkenny and to be honest the 3 goals harps got was with the worst goalkeeping i have ever seen in football at any level, sweet jesus it was chronic to say the least and at times Kilkenny ran through harps, i saw 2 players that i thought were handy and that was Gethins (and he had a very poor game) i thought and Parkhouse - that was it really, i nearly fell asleep at times.
Kilkenny have a nice few handy and nimble players that ran rings around the midfield of harps at times.
If the Blues meet Harps in the play-offs i would be very confident of progressing through them.
Oh yeah congrats to Queenstown Rangers for winning the 1st division !
Got 4's meself in Ladbrokes. Absolutely dire stuff last night though but I heard a porkie or two certain players were involved in helping themselves to an early xmas bonus.Quote:

enjoy lads im delighted to be out of it,
Staying up in the Premier is going to be a task on to itself though, with three dropping next year its gonna be the dogfight to end all dogfightsQuote:
