Bull, if you knew anything a vast majority of galway fans are for the league being sorted out on the pitch ! so dont go painting all the GUFC fans with the same brush, your talking out your arse there mate! Its just that we are living with what has been put forward by the FAI that ye have a problem with, we dont all agree with it.

That wasn't your point at all! You point was that "that's a crazy analogy" before failing completely in your efforts to back that up.

Maybe, but that wasn't what I said. I said the majority of those who were happy about the proposals were Galway fans - different thing entirely.

Another who should be looking before jumping to conclusions.

The only fans who have been whinging are in the Majority UCD Fans I wonder why.

Firstly you'll find that that isn't true. The fact that UCD fans are critical of the new proposals is irrrelevant- the propasals will not affect UCD at all.

and are the majority of GUFC fans happy? NO, they have come to live with it though, 2 very different things there!

Because Pineapple is a UCD fan and he does enough whinging for a lot of us.

It's obvious looking at the criteria that UCD will be staying up.

I wouldn't assume that.

Well look at it this way- UCD fall down on 10% of the criteria. Finn Harps and Galway fall down on 50% of the criteria. There is no chance of either of them being ranked above us. Bray as well for that matter.

**Student Mullet** · 08/12/2006, 2:56 PM

For us to go down both Galway and Bray would have to catch us. One might but I doubt both will.

Wrong.
We don't completely fall down by 50%....it's not as rosy as you make it out to be.UCD will more than likely be in the Premier next year.Bray are certainly not definites.
Also why Harps?Thye have no chance....they didn't even get a Premier License.

I wasn't saying that Galway completely fall down by 50%- I meant that they are weakest in the category where the most marks are going. Apologies for confusion.

I mentioned Harps because they are 13th in the on the field criteria. I wasn't aware they didn't get a Premier license.

The gap between UCD and Galway isn't that big off the field. If they beat us well in attendances and demographics then they only have to beat us by a bit in every criteria. For whatever reason Galway seem to be lauded for everything by Genesis and officials. I'm not going to be smug and I'm not going to assume we can keep our noses in front of them.

Maybe the reason is we are trying to do things the right way but after the fudging over the licencing fiasco i wouldnt trust either the el or Fai to go by the book this time.
