So now we can say we have taken 31 points from a possible 33 in series 2:). Very impressive I reckon but well need a big improvement on tonights performance to keep it up. A draw tomorow between UCD and Waterford would be perfect.

We would like the same. Or a UCD win.
It's a deal. *handshake*Quote:

Dont think my nerves would hold up for that.Quote:

As for Waterford-Fingal...i hope the referee wins:D. If Limerick could do us a favour against UCD that would be great too.
Its a massive week for us. I think we need the 6 points from Waterford and UCD which i dont think we will get but I am hopefull. 4 points wont be the end of the world but we would need shels to slip up as well. If we come out of these two games with shels still 6 points ahead ill be happy. They would still have to play us, UCD and Waterford and it wouldnt be an impossible thought to think they would lose 6 points from those games.
IF, ANDs, BUTs MAYBEs :o
I would love if Waterford United were promoted, whether as champions or winning the play-offs. It's been disappointing this season what with no local derbies.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Youths tonight, they're in poor form, there seems to be unsettled players in the camp, Wallace still loves his under 18 side more than the senior team and Shels are flying. To me that all adds up to the Youths putting in a massive effort tonight and taking something from the game, maybe even a spectacular late victory.
Alternatively, if they make a bad start I can see this being the game where the Shels forwards find their confidence and their shooting boots and the Youths ending up on the recieving end of a record defeat. Here's hoping for the former.
You'll be lucky. We haven't even scored in a month. If Shels score early they'll score often I reckon.Quote:

Thats just the problem though. We probably wont score early. We rarely do. I can only think of 3 times this season where we have scored early.Quote:

We have forgotten how to score i think :mad: and at the worst possible time.Quote:

After what happened last season it would be mad to rule Waterford out now. Anything could happen.
Happy to have our 5 point gap back and a convincing win to go with it. Results went our way tonight which helped.
Waterford are in too many competitions to realistically bridge the gap. They've a League Cup Final which they're gonna have to take seriously as well as at least 1 more cup game. Both of which are gonna create games in hand for them at a later stage.Quote:

I dont. I've been saying that all along. I couldnt care less about the cup competetions. Obviously being in the EA final is a day out and whatever, but its taking too much out of us, promotion is way more important.Quote:

I see Waterford being the team to lose out due to their involvement in the cups and having a light squad.
We're obviously in a great position but we've still to play the other big 3.
Fingal possibly have the easiest of the run-ins but anyone can take points off anyone as we've seen. Definitely our biggest threat imo.
UCD are still grinding out the results but not performing great.
27 points to play for. C'mon the reds!!
Who the hell is going to win this league?:eek:
Feels a bit like last year.
Only 5 points between top and 4th.
Result of the weekend has to go to Waterford. GITS:mad::D
It's some title race alright. To have four teams so tight with a realistic chance of taking the title in the final stretch is very exciting. I just hope we're coming into form at the right time. One team is going to be very sickened at not even making the playoffs.
