    Rovers V City

    What do ye think ??

    I'd take a nil one victory to the Rebels no problems at this stage !!

    One nil would do me, I can't see a situation arising now where goal difference will come into it.

    A win tonight and Friday's result doesn't matter quite so much - might ven be better off having to win vs Derry.

    I hate the "draw will do" scenario.

    Yeah, I would agree...any win tonight will do, 3 pts and it's still in our own hands.....also, a win tonight would mean shels cannot win the league!

    People are just looking at the points and not considering that Cork City and/or Derry will add to their points total on the last day.

    The title will be heading out of Dublin this season, that's a fact!

    Any win at all tonight will suffice, not winning is unacceptable though at this stage having dropped points to Pats and Wateford.

    I'm not too confident about the Shels game so we simply must win tonight.
    Champions!

    Yes James, but it would be better for them if Derry won the league and we won the Cup.

    Absolutely nothing!
    However, we've yet to actually win anything ourselves yet so maybe it's a bit soon to be pointing Shels lack of trophies out!

    That's the long and that short of it James, yes.
    It could also be a lot worse for them if we do the double since they'll miss out on the UEFA spot.

    I like this scenario:

    2 wins this week = 73 points and at least a two goal advantage over Derry.

    Settle back on Saturday and watch Derry begin to grasp the idea of pressure.
    Just say, scoreless with 20 mins left - do they go for it and leave themselves open to a breakaway or do they settle for the point and have to win 2 or maybe 3 nil in Cork?

    SPA have switched off Jim, their season is over.
    Listening to Maguire (I think) on the el roundup on Saturday sports, he actually said pretty much those very words.

    Yes patsh - but no professional team will simply lie down - especially at the end of a season when they can have a say in the destination of the title.
    A so-called weak Bohs certainly put it up to us last season and City themselves took great delight in denying Shels a few years back.
