Who will win it?
I think Shamrock Rovers will hold on.
I think Rovers myself.
Date Shamrock Rovers......Bohemians
Tues -Cork City (H)............St Pats (H)
23Oct -Dundalk (A).............Galway (A)
31 Oct-Galway (H)..............Sligo (H)
06 Nov-St Pats (A)..............Bray (A)
Both teams should be bookies favourites to win in each of their remaining games...but of course it rarely works out that way.
Most difficult match seems to be next Fridays visit of Shamrock Rovers to Dundalk, although if Pats are in danger come last match of the season...it could be really tough for Rovers.
Bohs to win all four remaining games, Rovers to draw either against Dundalk or St Pats - Bohs on goal difference (or is it a play-off?)
I think Rovers will just edge it. I fancy them to drop points in Dundalk but I think Bohs have one catastrophic result waiting to trip them up amidst four games they should win on paper.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Don't know about Bohs having such an easy run-in. They should win, but the first 3 games are against the 3 teams trying to avoid the last play-off spot. Bray may be dead and buried by the last game, so that *could* be an easy win. I think the teams that Shamrock Rovers have to play (Cork and Dundalk) have less to play for on the pitch, as their positions are more secure.
Bohs for me. Have to keep believing! Show how I can't see Pat's letting Rovers win the title on there home patch!
I'd go with this - the momentum is with them from the Mountains - but there may yet be more twists to come.Originally Posted by Sheridan
Kom Igen, FCK...
Yeah, but they're trying to avoid the last play-off spot because they're sh1te to begin with.

I think Bohs have 2 easier away games... but then Rovers have a 1.5 points of a lead
Think bohs will win it . Rovers are extremely lucky though and could scrape the wins neccesary , if it comes down to the best football team bohs should win it .But we all know its about more than that .
Haha! Nicely put!Yeah, but they're trying to avoid the last play-off spot because they're sh1te to begin with.
Think Bohs will win it by two points, they play the better football from what ive seen and i dont expect them to drop anymore points this season, there run in looks the more favourable than Rovers. Rovers to draw tomorow night against Cork and on friday in Dundalk.
As a Derry fan who hates everything Bohs, shels, fenlon, heary, byrne etc etc and everything they stand for. I seriously hope for the sake of the league Bohs win as that is a disgustingly poor and lucky Rovers side.
I think bohs will win 4 out of 4, which imo will be enough.

22 games unbeaten, and seven wins in a row, that argument doesn't wash over that many games. If Rovers are "disgustingly poor" then what does that mean for the rest of the league.
Yeah, I'd tend to agree with that. Any side that is able to build the kind of winning mentality Rovers have had this season are worthy of a shot at the title. As for being other teams being poor, you can only beat what's front of you. As I said in another thread a week or two ago,
"Rovers remind me of ourselves in 2005- like our team then they hadn't had a particularly conspicuous season previously, and then you could see them seeming to gain in confidence and stature as the season went on. You just get into the habit of win, win, win, points, points, points and start to play with no fear and no doubt."
As Sheridan says, I can see Bohs having one disastrous game towards the end of the season and Rovers tying things up on Halloween night against Galway.
I fully expected that response. I have nothing to back up what I'm saying, it just seems that every time you need a goal one is handed to you. If you go on to win the league, the achievement is nothing short of magnificent, as its a pretty good bohs side.
However, it is my belief that SRFC are proof that the league table does indeed lie.

Shamrock have it since Dundalk saw red on Friday.
From what I have seen this year, I agree. Much as I would not like to see Bohs win the league (and give some false validity to their spending "speculation"), they have been, by some distance, the best team I have seen this year. Credit where it is due to Rovers for being in their current position - it would be a fantastic acheivement for them if they actually won it outright. Either way, I think they are set to dominate the league in the coming seasons.
Still think Bohs will win it. Think we will draw at least one if not both away games and think Bohs will win all four. Hopefully I'm wrong but either way this season has surpassed all expectations for the Hoops. To push a club that is cheating it's way to a league title with players they can't afford all the way is hugely satisfying.
A draw in Dundalk at best is a certainty, afaic.
Bohs still.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Bohs to draw with Pats tomorrow and Rovers to beat Cork.
That will mean Rovers can go up to Dundalk with confidence and no nerves and a good chance of beating Dundalk. If that happens we'll wrap it up against Galway in Tallaght.
If Bohs beat Pats tomorrow it could all go the opposite way. The last thing Rovers need is to be heading to Inchicore to wrap things up. We have beaten pats 4 times already this season. they owe us 1.
