More of the same at the weekend please Wexford.

Why was the Drogheda - Cork match on TV and not the Linfield - Glentoran match when the group with Drogheda and Cork was over before tonights games? Strange choice...

Youths v Fingal was a thoroughly entertaining game. Youths deserved the win always looked dangerous going forward, scored two beautifully crafted goals in the first half, went too defensive at start of second and got punished, started to attack again and hit the bar after another lovely move, the winner was a fairly lucky break, although Anto finished it very well. Fingal scored early after a slip from a Youths centre half let them through the middle, they always looked dangerous from set pieces, their second came when Youths failed to close space around the edge of the box and Doyle finished very well.

Yes, if Pats beat Derry by 1 goal, then they would be favourites.

Not quite so clear cut, though.

I fancy Derry to lose to Pats and draw with Linfield. Glens - if we play like we did tonight, finally showing up in this competition after 4 years - to beat Pats.

That leaves all four clubs on 8, yes?

If it comes to that scenario, is it decided on goal diffrence or head-to-head? If it's the latter, then we'll have better h2h versus Linfield and Pats. If it's the former, then at this stage, it's still to close to call.

A lot of ifs'n'buts ..... Derry could choke against Linfield yet again.

I agree, Derry don't have a good record against Linfield in this competition at all.

I know, annoying as f*ck aint it. All these young Ultras and schooligan groups are making the atmosphere worse at grounds imo. Certainly at United Park anyway

If we draw with Pats next week we are through. The Linfield game would be meaningless to us then, but it dosnt mean we wont want to beat them

If we draw with Pats, get beat by Linfield and Pats beat the Glens, then we are out, no?

**Steve Bruce** · 17/09/2008, 9:43 AM

Does this league get decided by head to head or goal difference if we are on equal points?

How will it be meaningless? If we draw with Pats we'll only be a point ahead of the Blues, thus it'll be all to play for at the Brandywell.

As Steve asked is it head to head that decides on level points or goal difference? Coz if ,its head to head (should we lose to Pats) we need to beat the Blues by 3 clear goals. If its GD, we just need to draw.

Correct
