You would hear no argument from me about Shels and Fingal being top two by a stretch. I don't think Shels are quite as good as they seem to think they are min but they have a strength in depth but puts them up there.

I just saw no reason why we shouldn't be included with Waterford and UCD in the group chasing for the third play off spot was all.

For the record I would divide the division up as follows:

Fingal

Shels

UCD
Waterford
Limerick

Monaghan

Garbage
Garbage
Garbage
Garbage
Garbage
Garbage

Expect the onslaught from these teams to begin soon

Not based on Fingal's performance against us.

Good manager and a good appointment . . . but if ever there was a fight waiting to happen, this is it I fear. Anyway, good luck to Limerick, hope ye are up challenging at the top this year

Also, have no idea where you get the notion UCD, Waherfurr and indeed Shels for that matter are far stronger than Limerick either.

Me personally, I'd settle for a competive 4th place. But anyone writing us completely out of the playoff picture

sit on the fence there LTID....A COMPETITIVE 4th or 5th,whats all that about.we have finished there for the last 2 seasons and you settle for that again.we are supposed to have a talented squad sprinkled with experience... .... and now have a top notch boss,it has to be at least the playoffs...no excuses

Well I'd imagine you're going to have to find some excuses. Limerick won't get playoffs, 4 points from 12, and you're already 8 points off 2 of the big guns, and you will not finish ahead of Fingal.

Would love to see Limerick in the playoff this season but dont think it will happen, Limerick will not finish above Fingal but neither will Shels.

Neither will Shels from what I saw on Friday night. I may have to revise my earlier prediction and put UCD finishing ahead of you too as they just seem more organised

Like that, I havent seen Fingal yet but from what I have seen of UCD and Shels, Shelbourne could learn from the college boys. Whether the young and relatively inexperienced UCD side can maintain that level of creativity and organised control for the rest of the season or not remains to be seen.

Ah, why'd have to go and raise my expectations like that? I'd been convincing myself that Shels were of a much higher standard to temper my ambitions.

**Magicme** · 29/03/2009, 4:49 PM

I like to raise expectations.

We haven't been playing great but the fact that we have maximum points even while playing below par can only be a good sign.

Limerick didn't seem up to much for most of the match but that'd be expected under a brand new manager. But they gave us a fair few scares towards the end of the match and we were lucky to hold on.
