harps to go down with rovers or waterford in the play off

hope waterford go straight down though

Rovers, Harps and Waterford are trying their hardest, but I think Waterford are "winning" the battle. Harps have signed a decent defender at last by all accounts (McStay) and Rovers have signed a UCD reserve defender, so whatever about Rovers being a mid-table team, they're only going to get worse from here on in. Will still have enough for Dublin City in a play-off though.

Waterford do not seem to be able to win a game whereas Rovers & Harps are capable of winning the odd game. If Waterford ever make the bottom of the table they don't look like can get back out of it.

Finn Harps and Waterford for the playoff. I think ourselves and Rovers (unfortunately) have enough to pull away. I don't think Pats or UCD are in any trouble.

**Rebal Boy** · 09/08/2005, 9:48 PM

I'd say Rovers and Harps to go down. I'd like to see Harps surive, but they will find it very hard. Big weekend coming up for all the teams down there this weekend.

I'll say it once.........

Friday 19th August, Bray-v-Harps

If Shamrock manage to beat us at the RSC this friday then they will survive and we go straight down

HUGE game friday HUGE

**holidaysong** · 09/08/2005, 11:29 PM

Finn Harps to go down and Waterford Utd for the playoff. I think they will lose the playoff too..

**SPXcyan** · 09/08/2005, 11:37 PM

Ya think........if we manage a play off we will get smashed especially if we play away and not home

**dortie** · 10/08/2005, 9:43 AM

I bet Harps would go straight down this year before a ball was kicked. Their team on paper was the weakest. I think Rovers have actually the potential to finish around 8th or 9th.

**wws** · 10/08/2005, 10:04 AM

Harps waterford and sHAMROCKS

the games against each other/suspensions and injuries will decide the order - all of them can beat each other on their day. This will go right down to the last day of the season. If waterford can build on the 1-1 draw with cark......than bohez will be losing their other half of the incestuous relationship at Dalymount

As my signature says, Harps and Shams will be going down. That signature has been there since the end of last season so I'm sticking to it. Although now, I'm kind of hoping that Shams play Dublin City in the play-off and Shams win, cos City dont deserve to be in the Premier Division

. Also, if Shams stay up then we'll still have one of our rival teams up there

I like your thinking....

Everyone seems to be forgetting that we were the favourites to go down at the start of the season so if we stay up it's an achievment in itself.

What my head thinks.

Finn Harps Relegated
Waterford Play off, but stay up

What my heart thinks

Rovers Relegated
Bray play off, but go down

The fact is Rovers have played better in the last 2 weeks than for most of the season to date. McDonnell is looking solid at the back and we have the best keeper in the league, no chance of us going down.

"The simple fact" is that the players that got ye your points are now playing for Derry, Longford and Drogheda. Both Rovers and Blues have lost a lot of players so it's almost like the relegation battle is starting from scratch between Harps, Blues and Rovers. Our next two home games are against the other two so that will tell a lot.

At the moment it's those three in the battle, but don't rule out a bad run of form for either Bray, UCD or Pats. The bottom three are in the mentality of scrapping for points now, but the clubs above us could panic if the lost three or four in a row (very possible).

**superfrank** · 10/08/2005, 11:42 AM

Our problem is we're too inconsistent. We drew with Shels and Derry but then we lost to Rovers!?

I know how you feel. UCD do better against high flying teams and awful against opposition you would expect to beat.

**Red4Eva** · 10/08/2005, 12:48 PM

i think waterford are giving the most effort in da battle to get relegated but it's hard to say where which team is going at da moment. waterford could improve under brendan rea. shams beat bray without gavin&mccourt but was that a once off. can mchugh do it by himself? probably have a far better idea of where each of em are going over next 3 games but it looks like waterford automatic&harps playoff(v seery city) to me
