Drogheda's win over $hel$ last night means that if Drogheda beat Pats and we beat UCD, then those student *****s could well find themselves in the play off spot and potentially face a trip to Donegal, and you'd have to fancy the Harps there.
Please, Please, Please City, play your part in ridding the Premier of this shower. A dump like Belfield belongs in the first.

It's all well and good imagining this, but, you seem to have forgotten that City's record against UCD, home and away, is UTTER CRAP. Besides, UCD have more points than Pat's, so if the above rang true, wouldn't it be Pat's in the playoff? I'd rather see the back of those cheating f***in cnuts.

Pats are 2 points ahead of UCD now. Derry on the other hand will be in the play off spot were the above to happen and Bohs to beat Derry.

I would expect Drogheda to beat Pats on Sunday(I hope i'm wrong but Pats have been sh'te of l8, and Drogs will really want it).

I would expect Cork to beat UCD on Sunday (were cork not fighting for the inter toto then i would not expect this to be a certainty even at the cross, but there'll be a mighty crowd out and i can't see us taking anything from the game).

I think the Derry v Bohs game will end in a draw. (Bohs will want to put on an and of season show, however Derry are fighting for their lives).

It's gonna be a hell of a nail biting day on Sunday. Expect the toilets in eL grounds up and down the country to be quite smelly indeed.

Thanks for the clarification. I still don't think City will beat UCD. Even if they do, I can see Rovers beating Longford and us getting edged out of a European place.

Such a pity that city couldn't have held Pats to a draw. In that case a win for Drogs on sunday would have put Pats into the playoff spot.

I'll drink to that. S**t, where's my vodka gone?

i couldn´t really care whether it´s pats or UCD we send packing. they´re both dubs anyway so good riddance. IMO, UCD have less potential than PAts but then they aren´t such a horrible shower of maggots

either will do

No matter what happens they'll only be the in playoff spot and with the sort of teams they could come up against ie Galway or Cobh, you'd fancy the premier team to stay up.

Exactly. In the ENTIRE HISTORY of that play-off, not one 1st Division team has come up at the expense of the Premier Division side.

I could be wrong but did Kilkenny come up through the play-offs a couple of years ago. Either way there are 3 first division teams this year which will make it harder.

I'm pretty sure they came up as champions. The fact that it's 3 on 1 doesn't matter a damn as long as the same poor quality is evident in the 1st Division.

Beat Waterford didn't they?

But it's not like the premier teams have pi$$ed on the first division teams, the last two have gone to penalties!

Fair enough, there may not be an enormous gap but, a reasonably large one DOES exist. As an example of what I mean, take a possible play-off for this season: Pat's v Cobh. Who do you seriously think would win that?

I'm pretty sure Kilkenny beat Waterford a few years back to go up and more recently Athlone lost out to UCD and Harps to Longford on penalties, so they haven't always been that clearcut

True, they haven't always been that clearcut, but, I never said they were, just that history stacks the odds well in favour of the top division team.

I'm 100% certain that Kilkenny did indeed beat Waterford in the play-off to get promoted about 3 years ago.

DOES IT REALLY MATTER A **** WHO IS IN THE PLAY-OFFS

REMEMBER WE STILL HAVE 90 MINUTES TO PLAY OFF OUR INTERTOTO SPOT

SO **** THE PLAY OFFS AND START THINKING OF CITY

[atfconline]

Monaghan, Home Farm and Kilkenny have all gone up to the Premier through the play-offs, then the two close ones between ourselves n UCD and Harps/Longford.
