Big weekend for Derry as two wins against Bohs and Sligo will surely be enough to make them Champions, hard to see Rovers clawing 4 points back with 3 games to go and Shels look spent and go to Derry on the last day.
With the season thats in it anything is possible but i expect Derry to win both matches as the finality of them being almost cup finals should be enough to get them off their arses.
Big weekend also for Harps two wins against Bray and Wexfors will have them in the hunt for a last day miracle jump into the playoffs with both Bray and Wexford away on the last day and Haprs at home although wexford have a game against Cobh as well.
A drogs win in Waterford and a Derry win against Bohs will have Drogs within 2 points of Bohs.......squeeky bum time for Bohs.....
I wouldnt count on that! we have been derrys bogey team for the last few years and hopefully Monday night is no different and keep our push for Europe alive.Quote:

We’re not dead with a draw but winning would leave it in our own hands,lose and it’s done…..Quote:

Reynolds taking the **** with the line up tonight. 6 midfielders starting. No striker and I assume a left back playing right back. Haven't heard rumours of him being sacked but it wouldn't be hard to justify with line ups like that tonight
Reynolds is clearly a tactical geniusQuote:

Harps heading for a victory over drogs in the playoff. The spirit of Ollie lives
Haha! He’s a clown, but the team are good lads, we’ll probably finish the season without losing a game now, don’t really care who we do a favour for as pats/ wofuss// shels will probably shoot themselves in the foot later.Quote:

How costly is that open goal sitter going to be for Derry
Good point secured there. As for favours, **** off the lot of youse, well do what’s best for us(despite the ****e manager).
Whichever of the 3 teams wins this league title should of course be classed as champions, but should in no way be awarded medals or a trophy. Turn off the lights at full time of their last game
Which three teams?Quote:

Worst league ever by a bunch of chokers ever including us
Possibly the stupidest thing that's ever been written on this forum, and that's saying something!!Quote:

Rovers have clearly come back to the pack a bit ,and as neither shels nor derry have won the league in a generation they are rightly indulging in a bit of squeaky bum behaviour.
The benefits of winning the league mean the journey to win it will be quickly forgotten by the eventual winners.
I feel they should be made chase the trophy around the pitch and each time they come close it pull away
Utter nonsense it’s ****ing **** and you know itQuote:

The most exciting and boring league in years. Only in the LOI.
Doesn't look like any of these ***** bar Pats want to win the league this year, could come down to goal difference
If rovers win there last win 3 games we win the league imo. big ask considerint hen form bit hey ho
My mistake then, I thought you were serious.Quote:

Must be a lot of pressure on derry to beat Sligo on Monday,4 points from the 2 games wouldn't be the worst return in fairness and may see them fall over the finish line.
Harps just about still alive but a big outside chance of making the playoffs, being unable to hold on to leads look likes our downfall...
Unreal cross for Bohs goal this evening,Derry bottling it again aswell .......
We might keep our end of the bargain but can't see Bray losing in Cobh. Just win on Monday and take it to the last day anyway. Would be progress on last season anywayQuote:

Not always the case, 94/95 was a very average season being nice about it, 4 or 5 eeked out bare minimum wins in the run in was enough to get us on the coat tails going in to last day as least likely of 3 possible winners. We came out of the pack with a mini run of title form, Derry choked, Shels baulked and the most unexpected Dundalk league title is the most memorable for me cause the journey was mostly forgetable cold nights and bad crowds but then the unremarkable became unforgetable. There are definite similarities with this years ttle chase albeit the (maybe remote?) possibility of the top 6 on 50-54 points with 3 games to go would be memorable be it due to collective rubbish standards or ridiculous competitiveness. Its mad that only a point seperates Galway with a GD of 5 and Derry 17. Champions will have lost at least 7 games (Dundalk 8 I think in 94/95). Sligo could in theory win the league with -3 or -4 GD(?), Derry should finish highest GD just above +20, 2018 was +65 - keepers clangers season and all! The impact that the bottom 2 clubs could have on the title destination is an interesting quirk too (like a relegated Athlone) though Drogheda are a form side with St Pats.Quote:

I can only hope this mad season wont also be marked as 1903 Dundalk FC's last!:(
I cant imagine how frustrating it must be for Derry fans watching Higgins bottle it time and time again.
He is on for a double but could end up with nothing and either outcome would surprise nobody.Quote:

An entertaining draw at the Markets Field last night but it should have been all 3 points for Treaty as Yoyo Mahdy's free kick was well over the line.
I wasn’t in the slightest bit conflictedQuote:
