    I don't think anyone who saw our performance Vs. Bohs could honestly say that we'll go down. In my opinion we're a goal scorer away from challenging an Inter Toto spot.

    Based on the way they were torn apart by Shels I'd say Waterford are in for a long and hard season.

    10th = Waterford

    9th = Derry

    Automatic relegation - Waterford
    Automatic promotion - Kildare
    Play-off - Galway, Cobh, Harps and Drogheda. Harps to win.

    If we can start scoring goals on a regular basis, we won't be anywhere near the bottom. Even the Irish Times mentioned how many times we cut open the Bohs rearguard, only to have no-one to make anything of it. With our defence as good as it is, though, we'll be safe enough...

    They cant all be wrong, all of the time.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    After watching them on TV3 last night against Bohs, we could be in for a difficult night again on Friday.
    They should have got at least a draw in Dalyer.

    The Irish Times were about the only paper/website to give us a fair review.

    Everyone else waffled on about Crowe, Bohs title chances and how Bohs controlled the game with us not doing much at all.

    Nobody mentioned that fiasco of a ticket system though. I mean buying your tickets for the Jodi stand outside the Des Kelly Rugs Stand is just shockin'.

    They were predicting that we'd go down when we were in the First Division?
