I agree, definitely could do without Shels getting more money

**joey B** · 28/01/2005, 8:43 AM

Cork or Longford.

**Wiseguy** · 28/01/2005, 8:47 AM

If not ourselves i'd like to see Cork win it.Shels have to much money as it is and it would be nice for Pat Dolan to win something at Cork before he leaves for Limerick.

**galwaygirl** · 28/01/2005, 9:07 AM

Ya, i'll go with Cork or Longford as well..

**pete** · 28/01/2005, 9:09 AM

I can't take any more of this love in with City.

**Neish** · 28/01/2005, 10:35 AM

1.Longford
2.Cork
3. Shels
4. Don't care

fcking mickey mouse makey up competition - nice prize fund though...

think the IL selection bet us in the last inter league outing in Galway so twill be interesting to see what the story is now - the potential for embaressement is massive if the EL teams dont put them away convincingly IMHO

People seem to be writing off the Northern teams willy nilly,based on what facts? They'll be match fit and the EL teams will just be back in training!
But my preference would be Longford closely followed by Cork.

Purely for a footballing point of view I'd have to say Shels v Linfield would be a good final. Otherwise I'd go for the Langers (only kidding)

**conboy** · 28/01/2005, 5:12 PM

Are you injecting talcum powder again ?

**Maynard** · 28/01/2005, 5:14 PM

I'd probably shout for Shels. Play much better football than Longford and slightly better than Cark. Not sure how much more 150,000 would make a difference to Shels next season, I can see them romping home with it next year either way. Plus I'd really like to see Gary O'Neill do well for Shelbourne, broke his heart for us all season, and an absolute gentleman to boot.

Ahh but I thought you were a Celtic man because of their Irish connections, surley you should be going mad for Shels, Longford or Cork to win it! (Though I can't blame you for not going mad for Cork to win it in fairness, but that's a different story

)

Cork City and Big Fat Pat !!!

Cant stand Longford or $hels. Not that I like anything to do with the Irish league, but thats another thread.

It's the least we can do to ease the paranoia of the real capital!
In truth, the further the money goes from $hels, the better.
(Cue mealy-mouthed 'typical Bohs attitude' whinges from the most negative club in the league)

**1 9 2 8** · 29/01/2005, 1:52 PM

Cork then Shels fook the rest

In light of the Dick Van Dykes news can I now remove Cork from the above!

**wakenuppaddy** · 03/02/2005, 7:49 PM

I think the top teams in the irish league will suprise many eircom league fans .
Of the 3, I will go for Glentoran. They have a decent team and can draw in big gates.(they brought over 500 to a friendly against Letterkenny rovers last summer!)
