Derry are currently beating Shels 1-0. CAn we still win the league????
no
although i wont complain if lots of people have a reason to slag me over this.
I was actually thinking about this aswell earlier today.
It's by no means impossible but it would mean us winning all our remaining games and Shels slipping up a good few times and that is highly unlikely to happen.
It's not very realistic really to believe we can still win it but I think that second place is very much within our grasp, it's amazing because only a few weeks ago people were laughing at Brian Lennox for suggesting we could still finish second.
Keep the faith!
Derry City are 2 up I think....
Wait for all these muppets who've been moaning and groaning all week to start thinking about winning the league now again!
I think it's beyond us to win it, but hopefully second is still reachable, gotta finish the season off well though
There is something thrilling even imagining that we can do it. Shels could well slip here and there. The post-Europe hangover is showing tonight. Yesterday it was announced that Ndo needs a groin operation and is gone for the remainder of the season. You never know . . . :ball:
It finished 2-nil. Now the talk can start going about Cork City's chances. :DQuote:

- the dressing room is splitting
- our two win streak was against the bottom two
Shels lose one game at home, and we can win the league. Would ye get real :D
it wouldnt be a major shock if they lost both to drogs and bohs
which will set us up for a nice 6 pointer against them
the voice of reason bursts our bubble :p :p :pQuote:

Shels have still to play Bohs twice and Cork once. And they play Drogheda away on Friday. You could see them dropping points somewhere in those games. If Cork can beat Longford and Waterford, it would at least put them under pressure. There is still 30 odd points left to play 4.
Its a long-shot, but if we can start to score a few goals we will be winning more games cause we don't concede too many.
Cork City vs Bohemians, final game of the season...Title decider...?????
this is some good weed.
The result will affect the distance between us by 6 points, i.e. either we lose 3 and they win 3, or the other way around. Adding up our respective points total after the fixture, the difference between those two possible outcomes is 6 points. In fact, this is true of every league fixture, but it gets more interesting the closer each team is to each other.Quote:

i dont think we'll win the league at this stage but i'm sure we'll make the top three which would be a good achievment.
i think that with dolan in charge we will challenge more next season and maybe even win it within the next two years.
Course we can-oh look a squadron of flying pigs!!!! :)Quote:

its not impossible, but highly unlikely. we'd need to go on an excellent run and shels would have to drop a good few points. stranger things have happened, but I'd happily take second if it was offered to me right now. if we could close the gap, it might get the interest going again though

They are more likely to win the league at this moment than Shels, IMO, so I would be glad to see them dropping two points on Friday.
I think third place is the best we can hope for this year
el UEFA CUPio
Is there an updated fixture list for all clubs for the rest of the season on www.FAI.ie? If so can you tell me where it is; if not does anyone know where else I could find it?
Thanks.
my thoughts exactly but its nice to dreamQuote:
