How it stands now for 3rd spot

[Counting Crow]

OK, forget the meaningless battle for the League - the real excitment is for 3rd spot.
Tonights results:

City 1 - 0 Derry
Notre Dame BBall Club 1 - 1 Waterford
Longford 2 - 0 SPA

The way it stands now after tonight's games is as follows:

Waterford cannot catch us now - 8 pts behind with 2 games left.

"Notre Dame" - 8 pts behind with 3 games ( so a draw for us in our remaining 2 games will put them out because of our far superior goal difference ).

SPA - 8 pts behind with 4 games left ( v. Longford, Drogs, Notre Dame & Bohs - not easy ) They must win 3 and hope we loose our last 2 games. If we beat Drogs they have to win all 4 games!!!!!!!!!!!

A bit early I know but ............... tonight's was a big win!

03 Cork City 34 12 14 8 42 31 11 50
04 St. Patrick's Athletic 32 9 15 8 42 40 2 42
05 Shamrock Rovers 33 10 12 11 40 39 1 42

Hopefully Drogheda will win their next game which would make them safe by the time they play us at the Cross next Sunday. A win there and we're home dry I reckon.

Lads lets just go for the win in the two games that we have left.

Technically Longford could overtake us also as they have ( believe it or not ) 5 games left = potentially 15 points.

But the good news is that even if they did we would still get that Euro spot as they have already qualified via the FAI Cup.

Just a bit of useless information
