    Blew Loftys away 5-1. Weijden surpasses Carstairs. Sligo look to be in deep s**t now, with DBS and UCD to come. Loftys dragged into it big time. I expect Provos and Forest to be safe. Tough match for us against Harps next - all to play for.

    UCD 2-2 DBS
    Provos 3-2 Harps
    Sligo 1-3 Forest
    Pants 5-1 Loftys

    Holidaysong take over at the top in Div1.

    I'm as good as promoted now. Fags would need to overhaul my goal difference over them of 11 in winning their two remaining games and I'd also need to be beaten by SRFC in my one remaining game..

    Looking forward to the big time.

    Good results for us - We need to beat the Burts on Saturday and try to get a result from the faltering Boys, and hope that Ragball's form continues against the Fags. Fourth would be a very good season for us, and probably better for the team as we are not remotely ready to go up yet. That said, with two games left, we could actually pull it off and slip up on the Q.T.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    I'd be thinking the same thing if I were in your position. Is 3 up, 3 down not a bit much anyway?
    Having said that, I'm enjoying throwing a couple of spanners in the promotion race works. And really enjoyed that win away to Wexford! We've beaten 3 of the top 4 now. Hopefully we can finish it off with a win against the Fags as well.

    I'd be happy enough to stay down another season too. I'm more concerned with getting the young players to 100% than getting promoted, plus some of my better older players are in horrid form. That said I should win my next game and that will most likely see me up.

    We should be safe now with a 5 point lead over two teams with a whole mix of sides to play each other (Pants playing Harps, Forest playing Lofty's lot etc). Third place would certainly be flattering, 4 wins from 5 has saved us hopefully. I'd agree 3 up and 3 down in a 9 team division is high though.

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Maybe we should reduce it to 2 up, 2 down from next season or just get rid of relegation altogether..

    It's nice to be safe after all that.

    Well I'm promoted and got all my players to 100% experience so I'm happy. Some team orders might have helped stop me losing 4-1 against 10 men in the last game, but I was already up so the experience was all that mattered. Not expecting a great change report as a lot of players struggled a bit for form so I'd say I'll struggle in the top division.

    No, credit where it's due, you did your bit to keep hopes there all season by nicking points here and there, and are well worth your fifth spot finish - defeated every one of the top four, and only two points off the team that looked promoted up with an hour gone yesterday. A great performance from us, but your result could so easily have been vital. I hope to be able to return the favour some time in season 13, when you'll have been just promoted, based on your form!

    Fascinating to see that up until the 62 minute of both games, it looked over for me - a man down and a goal down, and the Fags a goal up - I wouldn't have expected anything at that point.

    The friendly against Sligo this weekend should be interesting to see if they have improved at all since we hammered them in preseason

    Train players that av form of above 10 now. Their form will plummet after the CR.

    I hope I get a nice enough CR because I'll be eaten alive by the big boys next season if not!

    After winning 5 of our last 6, it's a bit annoying that we threw away the start of the season and some of the late defeats we had, but still glad to hold on and to fourth with a game to spare (and third after our 16 games) when we were eighth a few weeks in.

    Maybe some more notable personnel changes soon..Boyle is beginning to run out of steam after seasons of injuries. Will be interesting how long more we can hang on in the top league with the new sides..
