with the results out in hours, see if you can predict which 12 teams will be in the premier division next season.
put the teams in alphabetical order at the top of your post, and then any comments underneath...

As you say the results are out in hours so it's pretty pointless considering that's what we've all been doing for the last year!!!
id wager on the new super duper league looking like this:
Bohemians
Bray Wanderers
Cork City
Derry City
Dundalk
Drogheda United
Longford Town
Shamrock Rovers
Shelbourne
Sligo Rovers
St Patrick's Athletic
UCD
non controversial eh! UCD will be robbed if they drop down....
Bohs
Bray
Cork
Derry
Dundalk
Drogheda
Kilkenny
Longford
Shamrock rovers
Shelbourne
Sligo rovers
Waterford United
Please don't shout at me

We'll never know. The points aren't going to be announced. The FAI will add a point somewhere to their favourite team, I suppose.
If we believe all the hype from our neighbours it will be;
Galway + 11 A.N.Others.
Bohs
Cork
Derry
Drogheda
Galway
Longford
Shels
Shamrock Rovers
Sligo
St Pats
UCD
Waterford United
I didnt shout, just laughed.Quote:

although Dundalk should be included
I`m sticking with my prediction of the current 11 + rovers.
Our disgraceful seasons of 2003 (9th FD) + 2004 (8th FD) were always going to keep us down in my opinion.
Same as that . . . the current 11 Premier teams and Rovers. That's what I felt when I read the document back in May/June and my views haven't changed.

I think that's what it will be as well. That said, if I had my way I'd swap Waterford for Dundalk or Galway. I know it's based on 5 year results, but if the league is to be as competative as possible, the last two years should have been weighed higher- it's a joke that a club that performed as poorly as WUFC did and cleartly were not good enough should be included in the new league.Quote:

I was just thinking there. Let's assume that the current 11 Premier teams and Shamrock Rovers form the new Premier, that means the 9 clubs left in the First Division will be all from outside Dublin. And with a possible new team being from Wexford or possibly Mayo, there will be no trips to Dublin for any of the First Division teams in 2007.
The new premier will be:
Athlone Town
Bray Wanderers
Donegal Celtic
Linfield
Galway United
Galway United
Galway United
Shamrock Rovers
Galway United
Wexford County
Dundalk
Galway United
Or else the current 11 plus Rovers. Hard to say which exactly.
the only problem i have with that selection, is which galway united do i support. i personally think, gufc, rovers and dundalk will all be in the premiership next season, not sure who will go down thoughQuote:

is that possible? why did they not get in if they out-scored galway?
because the FAI explicitly reserved the right to depart from the recommendations of the IAG, i.e. they had the final say regardless of points totals
What a bloody farce...Quote:
