As for jokes of clubs, the whole league is a joke if you want to look at it that way. Clubs winning the league and then going bust, clubs reincarnating themselves left right and centre, clubs being promoted on the basis of 'potential' and 'catchment areas' instead of results (how did that end up for Galway?), and the licensing system... I'm not even going to start on that.

If there was more focus on the football and less on the other sh*te then maybe we'd all be better off.

Didn't Keith Quinn get sent off up in Sligo?

I saw on the waterford forum that the waterford fans arent happy with paul o brien as mgr and they could be changin manager at the start of the season again..I cant see Shels losin in RSC tbh...

My mistake, I only looked at league games.

Our main problem face hasn't been our main rivals, it's been draws with Athlone, Longford, Mervue and Wexford.

And managed to drop six of them in a horrendous week.

No we've not gone 2 league games without winning all season.

Sorry, that Athlone game completely passed me by. Oops.

And your ability to put away the weaker teams will be the reason ye win the league.

**BonnieShels** · 06/10/2011, 10:19 PM

Our ability to get more points than the rest of Ye, even the ones I forget, us what will win us the league.

I'm dreading us needing anything on the last night. Dreading it as much as Armenia on Tuesday.

I'm loving the thought of that......more us needing something, but if it came down to a 2 horse race, that would be perfect!

**El-Pietro** · 06/10/2011, 11:23 PM

Shels drawing with Waterford, Monaghan drawing with Limerick and then the last night of the season three teams could win the league

**BonnieShels** · 07/10/2011, 12:39 AM

*Bleh*

Got slightly the wrong end of the stick there. Paul is very popular, but was only given an extended caretaker status until the end of the season to see us through a bad year. It's just that there's a general realisation that it doesn't look like he's going to be a long-term option. Great coach, not necessarily suited to management, but will be thanked for his contribution. If things had worked out well, we all hoped he'd be given the job permanently, but he's been dealing with some poor and some underperforming players. Think we need a good clearout. I'd love to see Reynolds back, but he has a great regional development job that he would have to give up and has assembled a Tramore team that has a serious shot at winning the FAI Junior Cup.
