    I think Shels would be happy with a draw, while a win for them would make it very difficult for us to catch them at the top.
    To be honest a draw would it even make it very difficult. Even a win would still leave it pretty difficult considering how few points we're dropping against the lower teams in the league.
    Lets redefine what it means to heal

    Certainly looks like Shels have gotten a degree of dominance. Kildare deserve a mention for recording their first win, 4-1 over Mervue

    Would find it hard to disagree.

    The win is important to us.
    Regardless of the result, Shels still have a great chance of going up automatically. Its up to us to make it a two horse race.

    Harps will lose very little games between now and the end of the season...won't win the league but will have a big say in who does...

    Big one tonight. This is our biggest and most important game of the season. If we lose this one then i guess its play offs for us at best. Hopefully Wexford can do us a favour too.

    Synott is a great buy for Shels, will be interesting who else they will bring in. As they stand they could do with some extra bodies I think

    Fingal seem to be getting the big guns back from injury of late - ONeill few weeks ago, maybe Paisley tonight

    Waterford have brought in three quality players in fairness - Warren, Grant and Walsh, and maybe one more to come if rumours are to be believed

    Big night tonight

    Michael Synott is a loan deal. and for sure is an excellent player. I just can't understand why was not retained at Dundalk!

    The problem with Fingal seems to be some of the players don't really care if they win the division or not, they've made their name and regardless they'll get there money, just something a few of us have noticed when they've played us. No doubt they have great players though.

    Loan deal or buy, doesnt make much difference, his contract is up at end of the season at oriel

    Surprised he wasnt kept also

    He hasn't been cleared for tonight, not sure it will make a massive difference to Shels though.

    Agreed that the net effect is the same. I was simply clarifying your original assertion that it "was a great buy" for Shelbourne.

    I wonder what was the last transfer within the league that actually carried a fee? Ger O'Brien from Shamrocks to Derry perhaps?

    After that win tonight i suppose we have to be favourites to go up now. We need to keep this run going though. We dont want to follow up beating Fingal with dropping points to Harps or Athlone.

    That was an important win but we are still only 4 ahead of second place. We need to keep it up......nerves were jangling in the last 15mins but i thought it was a great game to watch. Ref was poor as is the norm.

    On a side note I thought the chant:

    "Shelbourne do football teams...Fingal do wheelie-bins"

    was very witty. the simple ones are always the best!

    I believe it was actually "Shelbourne do 1 nil wins, Fingal do wheelie-bins" to go with "Why the f*ck do you exist?", "5 miles and you brought 10 fans" and "Where were you 3 years ago?"

    It's Shels' to throw away now. They should win the division if they don't drop many silly points against the lower teams.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.
