First Division Run In

You gotta love the LOI.

We spend March til October at each others throats and then when Its all decided we get to reflect on the merits of who won what and who went up etc.

It's fupping brilliant and really goes to show that we are all a bit mental.

Much more than a bit, to be fair!!

Well I was trying to avoid dealing with our resident space cadets.

What do yous reckon crowds will be like next year? I noticed in the attendances thread they've gone down 66% since relegation. Even allowing for the lower away support that seems a shocking decline.

edit: that sounded bitchy, wasn't meant to be.

It's hard to know really. I think this Saturday's game will give a decent indication.

.... but they'll be mostly City supporters

**BonnieShels** · 26/10/2011, 10:11 PM

Probably. But, I think you know what I mean.

Full house in Turners Cross then on Saturday, should be brilliant to see. If those fuppin eejits at RTE would cop on now they'd have a right game on their hands.

game is on in Tolka.

**nigel-harps1954** · 26/10/2011, 10:46 PM

Christ...my mistake. No full house so.

No mention in your post of the slur you made about a multi-millionaire laying off some workers to fund a LoI First Division club??

Big surprise.

Another year in the First Division? Must be the FAI's fault

Ask your clubs secretary. x x

Provided you can find the time to drag yourself away from talking rubbish about Limerick.

Hope not.

Predictions for the week:
Shels 2-0 Harps

Athlone 1-1 Mons
Limerick 2-1 Waterford
Shels 1-1 Cork

My own predicted outcome:
1. Shels 69pts
2. Cork 67pts
-------------------
3. Limerick 66 pts
-------------------
4. Monaghan 65 pts

I wouldn't bet against Monaghan at all though. They are more than well capable of getting the win they require in Athlone. If I was given a free bet to put money on it, I'd say draw 1-1.

I was wrong with the Shels scoreline but still see the 3 games this weekend going along the lines I'm predicting. Though the Mons might be expected to win away to Athlone, I think it'll end in a draw. Shels v Cork is a hard one to call, could go either way. I think a draw will be ok with both teams going up to the Premier. Any slip by the Mons, I expect to see Limerick take full advantage but Limerick do need a lot of luck, it's out of their hands.

That's the least predictful prediction I've ever seen. You seem to have mastered the art of saying nothing in lots of words. You should have run for Prez.

For me, Mons to hammer Athlone (who are dreadful); Cork to beat Shels and go up as champs; and Limerick to get beat by the odd goal by Waterford United (what? biased? me?) scored by young Sean Maguire.

And you seem to have mastered the art of making them up

You are absolutely correct. Mea culpa.

Being a complete language geek, I did stop and think about that word, and couldn't think of one that could capture the meaning I wanted to communicate. So I made a word up. Question is, did you understand the point I hoped it would make?

Oh-oh. I've really outed myself as an utter geek. I'll go and play in the yard on my own.

Your level 65 sword has been stolen on WOW...I suggest you go find it. ;P

**monsexile** · 28/10/2011, 9:24 AM

The bookies suggest wins for Mons and Shels are the most likely outcoems. For once I hope they are right - though I'll have my money on the Shels/Cork draw
