Yeah and Fingal nip in to take 3rd. Sounds good to me

Rovers are going to regret declaring on 63-4.

<pedantic>I'm sure Alan Mannus won a few titles at Linfield</pedantic>

But I take your point

Fair point though, I forgot about Mannus and the Ulster league

**hoops1** · 06/10/2010, 1:15 PM

Mannus,Stewart,Murphy,Murray (injured)Baker,Fenn have all won leagues that argument doesnt hold

Only Mannus started last night. Which was my point.

I meant if all that both teams needed was a point to get Europe. Strange that nothing has been mentioned in the media about 4th in the League geting a european spot. All the talk has been about the race for the 3rd place spot to get Europe.

4th doesn't automatically get you a European spot. For example if Pats or Sligo win the cup and get 5th in the League, 4th gets nothing.

All Pats or Sligo have to do is finish ahead of Fingal. Hopefully by the last game we'll know that a draw will suit us before we play each other in the cup final

It would be the most boring game youd ever likely see in the Showgrounds - and id love every second off it.

Suppose people are geting a bit ahead of themselves alright.

Should be a good thing for the League that there is so much up for grabs at this late stage in the season - Shams/Bohs tussle for the title and the "race for europe" - so much more interesting than the boring, predictable EPL

Easy peasy.

Exactly - one win in four and 9 goals conceded doesn't bother a Rovers fan

Not at all.

Like our first league game in the Showgrounds this season

though it pains me to say it, i truly think you have done enough.

If it ends up all level on points and the goal difference is the same what happens then?

A game of Rock paper scissors?

Or who ever sells the most premium level tickets in the aviva wins?

There was only one team parking buses that night, and ye had one of them parked in the Showgies Car Park.

Goals scored I assume. After that it's down to a competition to see who can write the nicest poem about John Delaney.

No, the FAI have decided that in that case whoever has the most green in their strip wins.

Seriously though, it's a good question and it wouldn't surprise me if the FAI don't have a contingency plan for such an eventuality. It might be based on points won head to head, in which case you'd have it.
