To be honest, Drogheda haven't impressed me a whole lot this season but they're obviously top of the league for a reason, and you'd have to think they can only win it or bottle it from here. Cork probably impressed me more than Drogheda, but I can only be cautious hyping up a team who have lost 4-1 in Sligo, O'Donovan or no O'Donovan.

**new blue** · 11/07/2007, 1:21 PM

1. Dundalk
2. Cobh
3. L37
4. Harps
5. Athlone
6. Kildare
7. Monaghan
8. Wexford
9. Kilkenny
10. Shels
WeXford Youths to finish in top half of table - probably fifth.

**bellavistaman** · 11/07/2007, 1:24 PM

Wthout sounding like a smart ass y didnt you put them 5th so

**CJTheGull** · 11/07/2007, 1:44 PM

1. Drogs
2. Pat's
3. Cork
4. Bohs
5. Derry
6. Shamrock
7. Sligo
8. Bray
9. UCD
10. Galway
11. Waterford
12. Longford

League Cup: Derry City
FAI Cup: St.Pat's

First Div:
1. Dundalk
2. Cobh
3. Limerick

Haven't been too impressed with Drogs to be honest but Pat's are too unpredictable losing to the likes of Galway and Waterford already. Bray have a good side and should be better (just about) than the other teams down there. Derry will also improve but poor Longford they are fecked and they will probably not return to the top flight for some time. Survival of the fittest and all that.

**Risteard** · 11/07/2007, 1:59 PM

To be fair,when any of the contenders play the cack teams, Drogheda are the only ones, you'd be 95% confident in not ****ing up.

We have had a feckin nightmare with injuries and are still at the top of the leauge .If we can get some of the injured back then we should go on and win it .Rumours going round hell ( UCD ) on earth on friday night was that Jason gavin and Fabio are due to return much sooner that expected , and if we can get Richie Baker and Ollie Cahil playing we will have a strong squad for the run in

Wouldnt totally agree with you there Risteard, they got away with it bigtime against an awful UCD team. Couple this with dropped points at home to Longford etc. and the Drogs are not very well equipped. So much depends on Fabio coming back its scary. Sami is doing brilliantly at the minute (he's by far the best footballer at the club) but he cant do it alone.
I wonder about the people on this MB that keep saying its Drogs league to lose. I seriously hope none of them have seen them play or they wouldn't say that. Very limited team under Doolin and its only the fact that the league is a poor standard this season that its close up there.
As for the big names coming back - its only Fabio and Gavin that'll make that much difference.

Prem: Cork
UEFA: Drogs
Intertoto: Shams
1st: Cobh
FAI Cup: Limerick
League Cup: Derry
Promoted: Finn Harps

Doolin doesn't want Richie or Ollie.

**ger121** · 11/07/2007, 5:18 PM

1. Drogheda
2. Bohs
3. Cork
4. Pats
5. Rovers
6. Derry
7. Sligo
8. UCD
9. Galway
10. Bray
11. Waterford
12. Longford

Can't see Drogs losing it due to fact they've done so well even with all the injuries. Bohs to sneak 2nd from Cork. Pats to slide down to 4th. Rovers done well so far but don't have the squad. Derry & Sligo inconsistent so have them finishing 6 and 7. UCD solid, Galway can't win at home. Waterford are very poor and Longford are dead and buried.

**OhNoYouDidn't** · 11/07/2007, 6:33 PM

1. Pats
2. Rovers
3. Drogs
4. Derry
5 Cork
6. Bohs
7. UCD
8. Sligo
9. Galway
10. Bray
11. Waterford
12. Longford

Pats have by a mile the best 15 players and I think they have the spine and the good buzz around the club with Kelleher at the moment to go all the way.

We are being wildly underestimated by the usual mongs, this team win will leagues but not this year. All our losses came from naive play, which is behind us. Cant see us losing more than 2 or 3 more games. Entertains me no end that we will fade, seeing as we are the fittest team in the league.

Drogs will choke as their manager fails to control his squad.

Derry will improve under the new regieme. Cork to remain a selling club and plod along. Connor to be found out and the usual nonsense of harassing the manager to begin in D7. The culture of mediocrity to continue

The rest is just the rest.

Ask Keith Fahey how Doolin controls the squad ............

**GavinZac** · 11/07/2007, 6:42 PM

Its Drogs to throw away this year IMO. No one in the league can compete with their squad despite injuries and I really think its Doolins to mess up.

Im starting to get excited by us but were still very unpredictable. If we keep Roy I think we can make second.

1. Drogheda
2. Cork
3. Pats
4. Bohs
5. Rovers
6. Derry
7. UCD
8. Sligo
9. Galway
10. Bray
11. Waterford
12. Longford

edit: Apologies this is micls not Gavinzac

**Block G Raptor** · 11/07/2007, 7:18 PM

I know it's probably black and red tinted glasses but I really do think Bohs can do it this year. actually I fancy a treble ..............Defo black-n-red glasses

If you can't score on us you cant beat us and we're just not leaking goals

Theres a difference between kicking someoen out for unprofessionalism and guiding a quality team to a title....

**Risteard** · 11/07/2007, 10:13 PM

Its good to see the variety in predictions.
A bit of a change from recent years.

Is micls Missus Zac?

Which explains why u have them in 8th

**LukeO** · 11/07/2007, 11:48 PM

Anyone who thinks Shels will finish tenth needs their heads examined... Keely's made some very good signings and they'll shoot up the table... if they had the team they have now at the start of the season they'd be challenging for promotion.

Ah well, another season of punishment won't do them any harm...
