    If anyone's not confident of beating Galway in a must-win game, you should probably stop bothering trying to be promoted now...

    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.

    Now to add more complication, do away goals come into play in the playoffs or will it go to extra time and penalties?

    This is a broke Galway, not France.

    I don't think you get a choice this season. Unfortunately as I'd love to see Galway stay up.

    Tempting fate as Rovers visit there next where Galway are due a result in the league and against Rovers...

    Away goals rules don't exist in LOI football. Indeed the idea of goal difference didn't either, until 1994.

    They got it.

    It was in 1991, but they got it.

    Dvd.

    This 2 leg playoff format puts Galway Utd's plans in chaos now.The M.C had changed their focus from their heroic efforts in fundraising etc over the last few months to bringing out a shiny new Dvd in time for the playoff game.The Dvd Soundtrack was to be done by the Saw Doctors with their song "To Win Just Once" the aptly named title of the Dvd.

    Seems strange though that they have announced a change from the original intention. I mean a one off game at home you'd always hope that no matter how bad we've been we could pull it off. Now it looks impossible tbh.

    If the First Division team can't beat us over 2 legs then they don't deserve to go up.

    Still the show goes on, and once we've a team to support next year is the main thing.

    Limerick beat Pats into the Top 6 split in 92/93 season on goal difference.

    Obviously we don't deserve to stay up. We're one of the worst LOI teams of all time.

    No Mr Maroon, we're THE worst LOI team of all time, as no ever team has ever lost 20 games on the bounce before. And Mypost, we're still celebrating that 1991 result down here - 20 years on, we've shag all else to be happy about. Though Aaron Greene's goal in Tallaght back in '09 brought a smile to my face, and the faces of those in Phibsboro!

    It's the worst losing run, but teams have finished LOI seasons with lower points totals than we currently have. So we're not quite the worst.

    And we beat them at least twice in the season we were both in the First Division.
