Can Limerick do it? or will Derry maintain the status quo>

**Xlex** · 03/12/2003, 3:25 PM

Eventual playoff semi - winners?

A good 0-0 draw for the heroes from Limerick... the form team against the team with the worst form in the playoffs...

I'm going for Limerick, to edge it...

As for Harps and Bray, I'm thinking Harps...

I wish it was going to be a Harps - Derry Final...

**Xlex** · 03/12/2003, 3:30 PM

I also meant to say that I think it's due to be a first divisions year, but if the Premier team is to lose I believe it will be in the semi's as you really have only one chance to do it...

Best of luck to all at the same time...

Limerick to win it, Derry to drag eL football through the mud and courts and then Bray to come up as the nearest to meeting the Licence.....

Never thought Derry could win 2 of last 3 games but I'm sticking with Limerick for no apparent reason. 0-0 good first leg result too.

It's funny because it's true.

you gotta fancy derry after a scoreless 1st leg in Limerick

Stalemate between Limerick and Derry
Limerick may have stretched their unbeaten run to fourteen games, but this afternoon�s eircom League Promotion/Relegation Play-off first leg 0-0 draw with Derry City, means Mike Kerley�s side need a win next Saturday at the Brandywell to progress their chances of Premier Division football next season.

I am almost certain that derry were recently the first irish club north or south to get acceptance of their plans to implement the uefa licenece so it wil be us and not bray if it goes to the licence

But we want the harps so as usual we can beat the bog boys

What .....you mean even funnier than you getting relegated ??

As much as i admire your predictions...Limericks chance is now GONE !

As for Harps....if they make it to the final.....just go look at the stats between Derry v Harps......lol....

I saw Harps play Limerick earlier in the season at pike rover's. The pitch was in good condition and they ran like Hares.Ironic I know since they are going to a greyhound track next Saturday.The Hare to win this one!

No end to these Harps wans and their humour, eh?

All I'll say, good luck Harps against Bray. I don't think ye's will do it mind, but hope ye's do.
And Limerick won't beat us. I was worried on their current form about us having to go there, but after a 0-0, I'd expect us to do the business on Saturday. There's no denying there's definately a gap between the Premier and First Divisions.

So you think that pitch is actually in good condition ?? Just proves to me how long youve been in the first division !! Not your fault you dont know any different i suppose.

The hare more likely to get eaten alive !

Derry City anticipate spending around �400,000 and even that would leave the Northerners, still not guaranteed Premier Division football next season, with just their new stand in use and their capacity reduced from around 8,500 to just 2,380

Not as fookin close as you keep going on about...... I'm sure you'll easily meet the 1st Division requirements though....

If we survive this nightmare (a situation DERRY CITY should not be in) i can safely say we will carry out the necessary measures that are required to take us back to were we belong.....the top 4 !!
