It's in our own hands!!

**Lim till i die** · 17/09/2011, 7:38 PM

Realised last night if Monaghan fail to beat Shels or Cork away we can get up off our own backs!!

It's an outside bet but not beyond the bounds of possibility.

Interesting times.

I'd love to see ourselves and Limerick go up and Monaghan to bottle it. They offer nothing to the league, but Roddy is doing a decent job there it must be said.

I think it could go down to the last game of the season with 3 of the top 4 positions to be decided.

Would be some finish if it comes down to the last day of the season.

Depends how it ends up

**micls** · 19/09/2011, 3:48 AM

I think it'l definitely go to the last day.

I think the Mons vs us game is win win for ye. If we win, you catch up on Mons, if they win you catch up on us, if it's a draw you gain points on both!

Well we would have to win our games first.

**gspain** · 19/09/2011, 1:17 PM

With 5 wins we also need

Monaghan to lose 1 and draw 1 as we won't catch them on GD

OR

Cork to draw 2 as again we won't catch them on GD

By the time Cork play Monaghan they will both have played some tricky games so we may have a preferred result. I'm leaning towards a draw now but if Shels draw with Monaghan then maybe a Cork win is better.

If we are still 4th starting the last day it won't be enough as they'll both beat Shels and Athlone.

**Jofspring** · 19/09/2011, 11:52 PM

We need to start off by taking 9 points in our next 3 games. If we want promotion, Christ if we are to deserve promotion, we at least need to beat Wexford, Athlone and Mervue. That will really crank the pressure up on Mons and Cork. The game up in Monaghan is setting up to be a huge game.

**Jofspring** · 21/09/2011, 10:37 AM

Run in prediction:

Wexford (W)
Mervue (W)
Athlone (W)
Monaghan (D)
Waterford (W)

13 Points from 15 which would mean we finish on 64. To accumulate that amount of points and still be in the first division would be some sickner.

Id be gutted if they finished higher then Limerick FC.

No that would probably guarantee them a play-off spot at least...and they're not crap otherwise they wouldn't be where they are

They beat us a few months back 2 nil at home and we hadn't even a shot on target in the whole game,what does that make us??.They are a decent side,but hopefully we just win our last 5 and see what happens then!!

So its not really in 'our own hands' then as you put it??

I must change the thread title...

**gspain** · 25/09/2011, 6:09 PM

If Monaghan beat Shels or Cork then we won't catch them. 2 draws will mean it is still out of our hands. They will beat Wexford and Athlone and while Mervue away will be tricky for them I wouldn't like to be depending on it.

We need Shels to win next friday.

2 draws for Cork will also do it but I can't see that happening. The ultimate revenge for Colin Scanlon would be Shels parading the trophy around Tolka then losing to see City edge us out of 3rd.

I really cant see Shels just rolling over for Cork just to get back at us over Scanlon.

I wouldn't like to be depending on that either though!

I don't think they'll roll over. However they will have won the league at that stage. Cork will be fighting for their lives. I also
think cork are flying at the moment and seem to be in great form.

I think catching Monaghan is our best hope. A Shels win on Friday would be huge.

**prawnsandwich2** · 26/09/2011, 10:47 AM

lads,i know it's not the correct forum,but would anyone know who scored the goals,and what was the line up, in limerick 5-1 win over galway in the 19's league????
