I'd be very happy with that outcome Jofspring.

What are you basing that on?

Probably google maps and the AA road distance calculator

Mervue at 13-2 with Boyles and PP is a massive price at home.
Even 7-4 Mervue and Draw looks tasty.

I'm nervy about our game anyway. Huge pressure on the lads and by the sounds of it they'll be playing in a swimming pool. That generally leads to shocking football and fluky goals, whatever way they may go.

Think ye'll be too strong for Mervue, ye're in excellent form atm, and Shels and Mons will draw, but I hope Shels hammer them.

I'm nervous and all. We've let ourselves down a bit in some of these sort of games in recent years, especially at home. We win tonight I might start to relax about us getting promotion.

An evening in the airport on the internet awaits. Wish I had holidays from work left, pain in my behind looking at updates on Shelsweb. Corner. Ball cleared. Booking. Some dick shouting at Caso. Nice pass there to Gorman but couldn't control. Corner. Aaaaggghhhh I wanna be there

So the only fans not ****ting themselves at the moment in the run in is Mons.

Would Turners Cross not have great drainage I would have thought micls or is it one of those pitches the water just sits on top?

**Longfordian** · 30/09/2011, 3:32 PM

Backed Cork, Mons +1, and Limerick in my accumulator along with Derry. So at least one of those will not happen.

Money should never ever ever be put on Limerick..............could be a good bet in the FAI cup on Monday though with it bein Shels

**Longfordian** · 30/09/2011, 3:50 PM

I've won money on bets including them in their last two games, including against us. They're probably due a **** up I guess.

**passerrby** · 30/09/2011, 3:53 PM

Sean Brennan is 11/1 to score first , the shels lads will make a fortune

In general it's excellent, games are rarely called off, but the weather has been torrential and people expected it to be called off so I'd say it'l be pretty bad.

Whatever chance ye would have with our Vegas Boys, Frank and Irene will see us sound I'd say.

Who do you reckon will be found to be ineligible on Tuesday?

**adamd164** · 30/09/2011, 9:24 PM

Getting tighter by the week. City vs Mons on Tuesday is a big game.

**MagicMon** · 30/09/2011, 9:42 PM

Zzzz quit hogging the duvet Gemma zzzzz

Just a bit. You've got to think that a Mons win would be decisive, as I'd expect them to take a minimum of 9 points from their last four games. They could go up as champions yet.

Shels 71
Monaghan 70
Cork 66
Limerick 66

Thats the way I see it finishing looking at everyones fixtures.

**dfx-** · 30/09/2011, 11:35 PM

So Shels need to slip up twice, Cork at home and once other and Monaghan win every game except Cork away, that puts Shels third...?

What the best hope of that happening..Waterford? Harps? Mervue away for Monaghan...hmm..

**adamd164** · 01/10/2011, 8:21 AM

For us to finish ahead of Shels, we'd need to win our last 4 games and they'd have to draw one of their other games (presumably Waterford or Harps). That way we'd be level on points and probably with a better goal difference.

Do Galway fans have any preference as to who they want to finish 3rd for the playoff?

**micls** · 01/10/2011, 8:52 AM

Wanted Shels to win last night, but the result certainly makes things interesting.

Now, there's realistically 3 teams that can win the division, though Shels still have the upper hand. Tuesday's game is absolutely huge. If either team wins that there's major pressure on Shels and a bottling is possible.

Obviously I hope it's us, and I'd love to have a chance to win the league in Tolka on the last day.

On the other hand, if Mons we we'll be scrapping it out to finish in a playoff going to Tolka, with Shels tryng to win the division.

It's never boring anyway! Already nervous about Tuesday!
