I think the strongest SQUAD will pull through.............not telling you who I think though! This weekend will tell alot going into the last two games!

Apoligies Sparky. Hall v Dale is indeed on Wednesday. It just goes to show it is possible to get fixtures before they are published.

Very busy end to the season for Douglas, they are playing Wednesday,Friday,Sunday and Tuesday with only 1 of the games at home. Not the kind of run of fixtures you want when your playing poorly

Hall are a bunch of bottlers... hall have only taken 9points from there last 10 matches.. there lucky they won there first 7 matches and took 21 points because 9 points from a possible 30 is relegation standard. Have to say that you never celebrate a league in december when you are 11 points clear, like some of the hall players were doing. Couldnt of happening to a nicer team. Dale or Mount to win it.. Who do ye think will win it lads?????

Didnt want to bite back Glenbuck!!! ha ha. I was confident but not sure to be honest. I will see you at the end of the season in the Prediction race :-). Ah it looks like a great finish on the cards lads. Hall, big big part of me feels sorry for the players. They led for almost the whole season and played some fab football. I heard about these DECEMBER celebrations but as we all know nothing is won then. To be honest you cant reflect a few players being 'mouthy' on the whole squad. Some great p;ayers in that squad who deserve a big medal. The Hall still have a big say where the league goes so it will be interesting. It is easy to blame the current management and their principles but jaysus the players need to man up. Nine points from ten games lacks serious LEADERSHIP. Mount look favourites for sure at this stage with possible 4 points from next two games. Whoever takes the title deserves it as the table never lies. Best of luck to all involved.

you cannot argue with the table at the end of the day sparky

"Whoever takes the title deserves it as the table never lies"

I think my final comment says it all Greengrass, The Hall were the best team up to Christmas and it showed but now it looks like Rockmount. You can never argue at the end of the season who wins it as it is over 18 games. It has been a fantastic league this year as it looks like it might go to the final game of the season which is what we all want. Wednesday will be interesting!

**maninthemiddle** · 16/05/2011, 11:27 AM

Am i right in saying that the A.O.H. cup final is on the same night as the title decider between rockmount and avondale?

i would have liked to have seen both. shame if so.

**footiefanatic** · 16/05/2011, 1:53 PM

It is unbelievable to see such a collapse by the Hall since Christmas. 6 out of 6 before the loss to rockmount, they followed up with a great win awat to everton. Must admit, after that win, taught surely this would be the year they could win the league, but it looks as if they have bottled it again. I myself would love to see Avondale win the league, especially since winning the intermediate cup, would be a fantastic double seeing as a lot of people were writing them off at the start of the year!! It looks as if going down to the rockmount/avondale game, which should be a fantastic match!! Whoever wins the league deserves it, could see a Douglas exodus next year after another failed bid for glory.

A win for Hall and Mount on Wednesday gives it to The Mount. Any other combination and it is down to Friday week in Rockmount Park. I think its great.

**Glenbuck** · 16/05/2011, 3:01 PM

Talk of The Hall team breaking up got me thinking. What one player would I go after if I was an MSL manager. One word.... Strachan. Ger O Donovan smashing player.

**maninthemiddle** · 16/05/2011, 4:50 PM

might be wrong glenbuck but even if rockmount win on wednesday at marys it leaves them on 35 point and avondale can still reach 37 if they win their 3 left including the rockmount game. i might be wrong though...

Rockmount 32 (Marys away and Avondale at home)
Dale 31 (Hall home and Rockmount away)
Hall 31 (Avondale away)

The Hall can hand Rockmount the title if they win on Wed (They have beaten Avondale twice already) but I think it will be a draw and it will go to last game for Mount needing a draw for the title or Avondale needing a win for a play off! For everyones sake I hope it goes to the last game. Hall can still win it but it would be a big ask. Marys would have to beat or draw with Rockmount. It is great we are all discussing it with two games to go!!!! Big attendance expected at both games on Wed and if it happens the play off with be bumper packed!!!!! May the best team win!

You are correct but I was just making the point that if Mount and Hall win on Wednesday Mount are champions.

**maninthemiddle** · 17/05/2011, 7:53 AM

sorry glenbuck i just realised that douglas are playing avondale meaning avondale would have lost a game. bit slow there.

gene stephens doing the game with pat buckley and tomas long afaik.

**Shilts** · 17/05/2011, 10:28 AM

Very exciting finish to the season, but will the winning total be the lowest in living memory?

**razor** · 17/05/2011, 11:39 AM

Rockmount - Marys game has been pushed to 7.30 on Wednesday.
so basically Mount will know the result of Dales game with 30 minutes left in theirs.
Shouldn't both games be played at the same time?
