Are Carey, Devine and Kiely suspended for the cup game or the game against us, could a Waterford fan or someone who knows the rules particularly well confirm this?

Cup game. All players back for Shels game.

Tonight's game proved just how easy it could be for us to blow it. As long as Shels keep winning this is far from over.

Seriously

Its yours. Nothing short of an absolute catastrophe would hand it to someone else. I understand not wanting to admit its yours but stating what you said is ridiculous IMO.

We could very easily have lost that game, there were less than 10 minutes left when we equalised. We can't take anything for granted yet. If Shels drop points, I can't see us losing it but two wins from the last two games are far from guaranteed.

Agree with your point about losing points before the end but so will shels and thus hand yous the title. Of course it not guaranteed but its hard to see past UCD not winning it now.

You dont have to agree because if it was me I wouldnt.

You never know. Now that we aren't expected to win it we might be more dangerous. We have a great record against waterford, we should be able to get past longford and kildare and beating harps is not out of the question. Look at the run we went on last season once we seemed out of it.
I dont expect us to go up automatically to be honest and its probably wishfull thinking but I dont think you can rule us out.

Yeah, it's a lot easier to be sure about these things when you're not involved.

Post of the month schumi, well done.

**The Lep** · 24/10/2009, 5:28 PM

Hows it working now? If shels win all their remaining games can they win the title even if ucd win all theirs?
I know ucd only need 3 points out of their last 2 games to stop us from winning if we win ours.

No we're relying on UCD to draw one of the 2 games. More likely the Waterford 1 I suppose.

Lets hope they win them all so

Not sure. Realistic

We have to work under the assumption that Shels will win their games in hand. If they go into the final day one point behind us playing a Kildare side, who will probably be resting players for a vital playoff, and us having to play Waterford then it gives Shelbourne a good bit of hope going into the final day. Obviously I'd rather be in our position, on top and with games played and points on the board, but it's far from over.

On the other side of the coin, in a best case scenario for UCD if Shels did go into meltdown, we could win the title on the Monday night if Shels lose to Harps without us even kicking a ball.
