Who will get Relegated

That's true alright. Though can they play that well consistently? And what'll happen if they get a few injuries?

Not to mention suspensions. Aren't they fond of red cards this season?

Aren't there a few players suspended for the game against the Blues this weekend? Things like that could end up costing Rovers in the end, but I still think Harps will go down.

All suspended for Friday!

I'm not going to pretend that I'm disappointed about that, but I'm still very nervous about the game. Huge pressure for both teams. I think this poll should be reset after the weekend.

that i agree with.

but i disagree that we have had our squad gutted. we genuinely are a better side with shelly in for gavin, beach in for mccourt etc. confident isnt the word, but i would be extremley surprised if we are near the drop zone in 8 weeks time

Yeah, if I was a Rovers fan I wouldn't be too worried. With 20/33 games played you've earned 21 points (and lost 8). About a point a game which would leave you on about 25 or 26 points if you keep up that form. Hard to see Harps catching that total. Hopefully we can get the bit of confidence back and start to pick up the points we need. We've got Rovers home and away and Harps at home. Three massive games, though hopefully we'll be safe enough by the second Rovers game, though it comes immediately after Derry away and Cork at home.

I always had a feeling that Rovers and Harps would leap-frog over Waterford, but after last night's result at the RSC I'm certain of it. Waterford for Division One.

I have to agree with you Passive. Rovers only had 3 players from the team of a few weeks ago - Murphy, McDonnell and Rutherford. We were missing so many players and still managed a victory. There's still a long way to go but at least Harps have a goalscorer and he might singlehandedly keep them up.

I hope a Dublin team goes down, and as I like UCD there are two options remaining: Rovers and Pats. I voted for the one I like least of those: Pats.

Though it wouldn't surprise me to see both of them go down. Think Harps will save themselves this time. Don't ask me why, it's pure intuition (and maybe some wishful thinking)

To go up: Sligo and Dublin City

Who picked UCD & why? Thats a joke. Have you even been following the eircom league this year?

Waaaherfur are sinking like a stone. No money, no fans, crap players, crap ground. Cheerio

Would've said Harps up til saturday as they were the worst team id seen this season when we played them in united park. Played well on saturday though and they might just have enough graft in them to stay up. So I reckon waterford could go down.

Rovers will defo stay up (and will finish at worst, 3rd from bottom)

I think if waterford had someone to put the ball in the net
they would have taken the three points on Friday!
Plus two penalty decisions went against them the first was a definite penalty
You cant legislate for that!
So I would say Rovers,Waterford and Harps can all still go
Especially since avoiding relagation sometimes comes down to who has the momentum near the end of the season not now!

Sounds like a lot of clubs down in the First Division, so they'll be made feel at home anyway

nothing personal buddy, just stating fact. believe me I'd much rather it was a dublin team going down.

The next few weeks of our season will see if we can stay up, we have to play Harps, St. Pats and UCD within the next month. The way we have been playing lately we can win all 3 matches, but thats our problem, we are far to inconsistant this season - great results followed by very poor defeats
