    i know people were joking / serious about the rovers league win in 2020 being a # moment but to be fair that league if it had gone on longer we would just have won by more.....this yera if we win it deserves an astrix.
    Worst league ever by a bunch of chokers ever including us

    Possibly the stupidest thing that's ever been written on this forum, and that's saying something!!
    Whoever does go on to win the league will have done it the hard way,in an ultra competitive league.
    Rovers have clearly come back to the pack a bit ,and as neither shels nor derry have won the league in a generation they are rightly indulging in a bit of squeaky bum behaviour.
    The benefits of winning the league mean the journey to win it will be quickly forgotten by the eventual winners.

    The top 3, who are the only ones that can win it in my eyes given the large number of events that would need to take place for any of the others to win it

    My mistake then, I thought you were serious.

    I've never before seen a team like derry look to rely so much on trying to get penos every time the ball is in the opposition box-Then again seeing mullan missing an absolute open goal I shouldn't be that surprised.
    Must be a lot of pressure on derry to beat Sligo on Monday,4 points from the 2 games wouldn't be the worst return in fairness and may see them fall over the finish line.

    Harps just about still alive but a big outside chance of making the playoffs, being unable to hold on to leads look likes our downfall...

    We might keep our end of the bargain but can't see Bray losing in Cobh. Just win on Monday and take it to the last day anyway. Would be progress on last season anyway

    Not always the case, 94/95 was a very average season being nice about it, 4 or 5 eeked out bare minimum wins in the run in was enough to get us on the coat tails going in to last day as least likely of 3 possible winners. We came out of the pack with a mini run of title form, Derry choked, Shels baulked and the most unexpected Dundalk league title is the most memorable for me cause the journey was mostly forgetable cold nights and bad crowds but then the unremarkable became unforgetable. There are definite similarities with this years ttle chase albeit the (maybe remote?) possibility of the top 6 on 50-54 points with 3 games to go would be memorable be it due to collective rubbish standards or ridiculous competitiveness. Its mad that only a point seperates Galway with a GD of 5 and Derry 17. Champions will have lost at least 7 games (Dundalk 8 I think in 94/95). Sligo could in theory win the league with -3 or -4 GD(?), Derry should finish highest GD just above +20, 2018 was +65 - keepers clangers season and all! The impact that the bottom 2 clubs could have on the title destination is an interesting quirk too (like a relegated Athlone) though Drogheda are a form side with St Pats.

    Yeah normally nobody really looks beyond the final table after the dust settles but this one I think is or will be different. If, big if, Drogheda do overtake Bohs I think Bohs are more at risk in the play-off than Drogheda, obvious momentum aside, I think Drogheda can play and be a battering ram as needed.

    I can only hope this mad season wont also be marked as 1903 Dundalk FC's last!

    I cant imagine how frustrating it must be for Derry fans watching Higgins bottle it time and time again.

    He is on for a double but could end up with nothing and either outcome would surprise nobody.

    We’ve only decided to become interested when it’s too late to be fair. Even after SK took over it still took some time to turn things around. Oh for 3/4 extra games.

    There will be 2/3 teams really kicking themselves at seasons end I think.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    An entertaining draw at the Markets Field last night but it should have been all 3 points for Treaty as Yoyo Mahdy's free kick was well over the line.
