1. Shelbourne (Hate to say it)
2. Cork City
3. Derry City
4. Bohemians
5. Drogheda United
6. Waterford United
7. St. Patricks Athletic

5. Derry City
6. St. Patricks Athletic
7. Longford Town
8. Waterford United
9. Shamrock Rovers
10. Finn Harps
11. UCD
12. Bray Wanderers

[1 9 2 8]

Harps to go down Shams in the play-offs $hel$ will probably will it again. In 1st division no one really stands out maybe Home Farm or Kildare. Fingers crossed it will be Rovers that go up but we're going to need a lot of very good signings

[Beavis]

Have feeling Waterford will be a suprise relegation candidate.Can very good when on form(that black right winger is a great player) but if they went on a bad run of games and got sucked into a relegation battle I wouldn't fancy them in a dogfight.Anyway my league prediction:

1 Shels
2 Cork
3 Bohs
4 Derry
5 Rovers
6 UCD
7 Drogheda
8 Longford
9 Pats
10 Finn Harps
11 Waterford
12 Bray

[Partizan]

Beavis,

that black fellah, Jose is gone and what have I said before about writing us off.

Are you Noel King in disguise?

[carrickharp]

4. Bohs
5. Longford
6. St Pats
7. Rovers
8. Derry
9. Harps
10. UCD
11. Waterford
12. Bray

First Division :
1. Kildare
2. Dublin
3. Galway
4. Sligo
5. Athlone
6. Cobh
7. Dundalk
8. Monaghan

10. Kilkenny

[Roo69]

1. Shels (by a few kilometres)
2. Cork (best of the rest)
3. Bohs (disappointing season)
4. Drogheda (Rovers' landlords)
5. Longford (mid-table respectability)
6. Derry (Kenny's recovery)
7. Bray (stable season)
8. Rovers (Roddy's miracles)
9. Pat's (just clear)
10. Finn Harps (long struggle)
11. Waterford (chronic defensive problems)
12. UCD (annus horribilis)

Love you

First Division :
1. Kildare

3. Galway
4. Sligo
5. Athlone
6. Cobh
7. Dundalk
8. Monaghan
9. Limerick
10. Kilkenny

Dublin Harp, have to disagree with you. This is Limerick's year. Promotion is our target - it might not be this year - but no more re-election for us.

[Hibs4Ever]

1. St Pats (Sorry, I just can't bring myself to pick anyone else)
2. Cork
3. Shels
4. Drogs
5. Harps (Will be the surprise team)
6. Bohs
7. Longford
8. Rovers
9. Bray
10. Waterford
11. UCD

[fosterdollar]

1. cork/shels (would go for cork for very narrow victory)
2. shels/cork (ditto)
3. bohs (getting bottom line results but all mid tablers could make this spot)
4. drogs
5. longford
6. ucd (has to be surprise team from div1, i'll go for college)
7. derry
8. pats
9. waterford
10. harps/rovers (go for harps here winning well fought battle over rovers)
11. rovers/harps (ditto)
12. bray (not up to it squad-wise)

Think the top and bottom are easier to predict with mid table providing best entertainment after shels/cork battle.

[De Town]

1. St Pats (Sorry, I just can't bring myself to pick anyone else)
2. Cork
3. Shels
4. Drogs
5. Harps (Will be the surprise team)
6. Bohs
7. Longford
8. Rovers
9. Bray
10. Waterford
11. UCD

The last time i checked, there was 12 teams

[OneRedArmy]

1. St Pats (Sorry, I just can't bring myself to pick anyone else)

Have Macy, Max and the Longford bunch got their way and we we're being repatriated against our will to the Irish League?

[Hibs4Ever]

Are we being forcibly repatriated to the Irish League?

SH*T! SORRY!!! I'll put Derry just ahead of Rover's

[A face]

And all the trouble the 12 team league started first day .... surely 11 would never work !!

[Xlex]

Predicitons 2005 season.

Three Tiers and I don't see it changing too much

1. Shelbourne
2. Cork City
3. Drogheda United (they will improve on last years outing)

4. Bohemians
5. Longford Town ( I think that this season will be more a league season then a Cup one, we have better personnel on board, beware the year of Deano.)
6. Derry City
7. Waterford United.
8. St Patricks Athletic

9. Finn Harps
10. Bray Wanderers
11. UCD
12. Shamrock Rovers

it's more on what I know rather than what I don't. Trying not to be biased. Might have LTFC up at 5th but there's never anything between 4th and 8th and that won't change. I don't see LTFC finish third or tenth, somewhere in between.

LTFC for 3-in-a-row....

Bohs Win FAI Cup
UCD League Cup

Not a hope in hell of us winning the League Cup we are cursed in that competition... 20 years of not making the Quarter-finals broken by a run to the final in vain in 2000/2001. Otherwise spot on

[pete]

Whatever chance of shel$ not winning the league they as guaranteed as anyone can be of finishing in the top 2.

I think (crappy) 12 team, 33 game league will mean huge gap between top & bottom 3.

Setanta Cup arrival means top 3 teams will have zero interest in league cup.

FAI Cup will have surprise winner & top league teams won't feature as distracted by europe.

when you say suprise winner,as in longford suprise or big club suprise

Dublin Harp, have to disagree with you. This is Limerick's year. Promotion is our target - it might not be this year - but no more re-election for us.

I did this prediction before you got your good news about the takeover so I think you will finnish in the top half of the table now.
