With Drogheda Virtually assured of the Title who does everyone think is going down and who is going into the play offs?
I have to say - Longford are really coming good at the right part of the season.
I suspect they'll keep that momentum going and over-take Waterford to make the play-off spot. I think they've left it a little too late to pip Bray to safety - but I wouldn't rule it out at the moment either !
So Waterford down, Longford in 11th a point or 2 behind Bray in safety
Play-off=Galway
Relegation=United
'Who is' or, if you insist, 'Who's'.
Who is sad? Why not answer the question? Why am I Replying?Quote:

Bray for play off
something like 5 wins in their last 6 games for Longford - now only 1 point behind Waterford. I can't see waterford staying ahead. & if Longford end up in the play-off place, that form should see them comfortably win. in fact Galway would be my pick for the play-off spot, i feel that longford will get up to them & Bray, & that bray's experience will get them just ahead of galway
Id have to say Waterford for relegation.
Not sure we can avoid the playoff but if it comes to that, we'll definitely have a chance.
The only thing is that Longford's run of form has come early enough for them to run out of steam. It'll take a further sustained effort for the remaining third to keep them pushing upwards. Waterford being allowed to remain in the Premier has been a disaster.
I agree.Quote:

Bray will stay ahead of Waterford due to head start. Waterford don't look like they can win any games.
Play off - Longford
Relegated - Waterford
We weren't "allowed remain in the league", and you well know it.Quote:

Longford playing well but really can't see them doing it.
Waterford were very lucky last season that Shels stood up and said 'No listen lads we'll go down instead, no go on back to the Premier Division we'll have a go with the first division'....really wish we hadn't done that
longford to make the play off spot & waterford to be relegated.
longford are on a great run at the moment, & they should finish ahead of waterford.

I can see Longford losing a lot of players at the end of the season over wage issues, so kind of hope they stay up so we have one cannon fodder team next year.
Waterford get Mulcahy back next week, type of player that can keep a team, break someones leg, score a cracker.
Dunno who will be relegated if longford lose Mooney they buggered.

We have three must win games (Galway, Longford, Bray). IF we get 9 points from those I think we may have a fighting chance of the playoffs.
Massive game for Waaaatherfurd this weekend, home to Bray. Longford are on a cracking run and have Sligo this Saturday, UCD have a misfiring Cork and United host Drogheda. Will be a lot clearer after those games, but reckon Waaaatherfurd are gone, and Longford will just run out of steam to pip Bray for 10th, but will have too much for Cobh in play-off final, with Harps coming straight up and Cobh beating Dundalk in play-off semi:ball:
Its all ifs and buts at the end of the day! Itl be a little more clearer after October because in that month for us we play Galway Waterford Bray and UCD in row so thats going to be D moment of truth for us!Quote:

relegated: Waterford
Playoff: Longford
Gets even worse for the Blues....Daryl Kavanagh broke his leg in training tonight!!
waherford automagically..
galway in the play-offs
They have better attendences that many other clubs though...and to be fair any club would struggle having to play in the premier after preparing for the first division and only finding out a week before the league began!!!Quote:

Actually, we don't even have the lowest crowds in the Premier.Quote:

As for credentials for being a 'proper' football club I think that after 77 years of Senior football we just about meet the requirements:D
We have a long and proud history, better than a lot of clubs and we dont spend money we dont have either. Hopefully in 2 or 3 years WUFC can be in that upper mid-table area of the league and building towards greater success. For the mean time we will have to be content with survival.
Luckily for us, Cupcakes, it's not up to you, or Poor Student, who gets to be in the top tier.
We probably will go down this season but we'll relegate ourselves thanks very much, so you can hang onto to those pronouncements from on high.
Mind that inflated sense of self-importance if you're moving about near anything sharp, won't you. :D
