Cheers CC! You take a lot of the thinking out of it!
So it's C'mon Longford on Thursday I suppose!
OK, time to start sweating.
With both Pats and Longford winning tonight we have to wait until Thursday night for the next round in this saga.
Pats vs Longford from Richmond Park will be crucial.
As I think Bohs will fold on Sunday - they have completely fallen apart over the past few weeks - it all depends on the result of the game in 3 days time.
A draw between them means Pats would have to beat Bohs by 5 goals or more or we would have to loose by more than 2 goals or more bridging a 5 goal gap between us - e.g. 3-0 to Pats 2-0 to Drogs, or 4-0 to Pats 1-0 to Drogs etc.
As they have scored more goals than us they would then go through on "goals scored".
A win for Pats Thursday means we MUST beat Drogs - nerve racking!!!!!
A win for Longford and we are through no matter what else happens as they are already through via the FAI Cup.
Crazy game @ Tolka tonight - 5-3 to Pats means they have cut our goal difference to +5 ( hope we won't regret those 3 goals in Waterford ).
I suppose we should be thankful to Rovers for getting 3 ( did I ever think I would say such a thing )?

usually the f.a.i use the play off system if teams are level on points
that was changed after we won the league in '93
goal difference counts and ours is good
Not complicated in the slightest!
Congrads on making simple matter complicated.
With 5 the differenc between us & Pats in goal difference really means Pats have to win both remaining games. If we beat Drogs matters little whats Pats do.
Hardly. Drogheda have absolutely zero to play for as their 2-0 win over Bohs means they can't even get caught for the playoff spot. If City don't win on Sunday and make certain of things from their end, they should all be lined up against a wall and shot. Not that, IMO, any such extreme measures will be called for. I reckon that come 5:10 or so on Sunday that we will be celebrating the return of European football to the Cross after an unbearably long absence.Originally posted by Counting Crow

That is exactly the point Shed End John.
They have no pressure now so they could go out and play 4-2-4 and it wouldn't matter a damm.
I reckon it is going to be a tough game. They are a strong, physical team and have a really good striker in Myler.
Plus Bohs are absolutely crap at the moment so don't expect any favours from them on Sunday.
Pray for a draw or Longford win on Thursday...............![]()

After tonights woeful performance against Derry we will want to finish the season on a positive note at Dalymount. So don't expect us to roll over. Can't see Pats winning at Dalymount to be honest, their form has been poor of late too. We don't like to lose to Pat's!!!Originally posted by Counting Crow

you might not like it but it seems to happen very often....We don't like to lose to Pat's!!!
3 times this season already, tut tut tut, not really like the "bigClub" is it.....
Cmon saints (& drogs...)
Can anybody confirm this? The good old FAI don't have their league rules posted on their site, so I am not sure about how CCFC stands if we win and Shels lose next Friday. Do we have to score 6 goals more than Shels next Friday in order to win the league?Originally Posted by Pablo
