I wasn't that impressed by Limerick last night. I haven't seen Cork or Mons this season but I'm going to watch Mons against Mervue in a couple of weeks. Whoever we play it's going to be very difficult.

The tables on Extra Time and the League website are different. One has Monaghan on 58 points and one has them on 62 points. Which of these is correct?

2. Mons Pld 25 Pts 58
3. Cork Pld 26 Pts 57
4. Lims Pld 27 Pts 57

The AirtricityLeague.ie that I'm looking at has Monaghan on 62.

IMO the top 4 teams in the 1st Div would be a mid table Premier team. Make what you want of that.

It was a big win for the Mons on Friday night. I can't see Limerick finishing in the top 3 from here.

They're best/only shot is Mons winning Tuesday. If that happens, our confidence will take a nosedive and Shels will have something to play for when playing us in Tolka, and would be likely to get at least a point. This would mean Limerick get promoted if they win all their games.

I think if we get a draw/win on Tuesday then it's game over for Limerick.

I can't see Cork remaining in the First Division. I want to see Limerick in the Premier but I could only ever see it happening at the expense of the Mons.

How though? Mons are a point ahead of hem with 2 games in hand! I really can't see how Limerick would catch them. Even if we beat them, and Limerick did, they'd still have to drop a point elsewhere for Limerick to overtake them. In the form they're in it just seems unrealistic.

If ye draw ye need to draw one more and us to win our 3 for us to take 3rd so cant see how it would be game over then.

I say that because I don't think ye can beat Monaghan. If we lose, ye can get away with drawing with Monaghan and still get promoted if we lose to Shels.

Obviously it's all opinion based, I just think it's far more likely if we lose.

I think no matter what we need to win all 3 of our remaining games...

Anything could happen though.

However much you hate Roddy you've got to admire his positivity
taken from extratime

“We can beat anyone, we can beat anyone, you see that performance tonight in Tolka Park, we can beat anyone, it’s not arrogance, we can beat anyone, we’ve a great squad of players, they are on it, red hot on it, we can beat anyone in this league and we intend to do that.”

The king of positive reinforcement

Crazy to think that Monaghan have lost to Mervue twice!

As a GUFC fan I'd expect us to lose to whoever we meet in the playoff but given a pick of the teams I'd like us to play Monaghan. Mind you if Shels continue their recent form they could end up in the playoff too!
