First Division (Play offs)

**Bald Student** · 09/11/2005, 9:38 PM

My prediction at the start of the season was for Dublin City vs Shamrock Rovers and I'm sticking to that.

Winner gets into the premier, looser gets The Rod.

so ill try to get it back

i think cobh will get it,dublin city are way too inconsistent..whichever one it is though,they will lose

galway and kilkenny

it actually wouldnt suprise me...this division is weird...but it wont happen lads ...sorry

i dont think ye will win it next season either...i think dundalk and kilkenny top2...ye will sack lally 3/4 way through the season and then go up the following season

Would like to see Cobh get it but reckon it will be Dublin City , regarding next seasons first division anyone can win it , we lost 17 games last season and ended up Champions this season Sean Connor deserves some award for this turnaround.

Have to disagree KickR.I think that's a stupid approach...fair play it worked for Sligo but if they go down next year the will be in serious trouble.Us however have a more cautios approach and won't be spending any big amounts of money...proper order.If we did and failed it would be a disaster.From the names ive heard that might be on the way we will win the league next year and won't be spending any great amount of money.

As i said ive hust heard these names that Lally was in talks with and i don't know anything defenite.

I know we have a very slim chance in still getting it, but i cant see it happening (i'm still praying i'll be proved wrong though

)

I think it's goin to be Dublin City for 2nd place and can't see them beating 2nd last in the Premier, whether it be Shamrock Rovers or Waterford.

Purely geographically, Kilkenny and Galway would be the best winners. Two cities with possibilities to develop a strong football team. Cobh looks a bit close to Cork and there's the risk they'd stand in Cork's shadow even if they make it to the Premiership, and with Dublin City I'm not sure how they'll get a crowd with all those Dublin teams in the premiership already (unless Dublin City eliminates another Dublin team in the play-offs)

Will the play-offs be a knock-out on neutral soil, or a home- and return game?

Are you suggesting that if Dub City(for example if they bet Shams in play-off) got promoted then fans of Shams would move and support them instead?

It's played over two legs, one home and one away
