Where were all you Drogheda Utd fans when they were bottom of the first div?!All joking a side, it's an amazing turn around from been the laughing stock of the LOI to been champions elected in the space of maybe 7-8 years? People seem to foget that. It's there title to lose. I'm just hoping Rovers don't win the league.
TBH the fact that Rovers, Cork & Pats are fighting for at least second place between them may just lend them that competitive edge to keep some pressure on Drogheda, however as pointed out in another post above it would still require Drogheda to lose 3 games out of 6, TBH i just cant see that happening given they've lost only that amount in their previous 27 games!Originally Posted by michaelguineys
Whatever about Cork winning the majority of their games in the run in Pats havent a chance of picking up 15/16 points in that time, our fixtures are well difficult and with our late run of injuries & suspensions cant see us picking up that amount either, it leaves a slim (at best) chance for Cork but TBH it just aint gonna happen!!
The fat lady is warming up folks, Rovers Cork & pats are playing for europe & setanta now IMO.
Koh
Thomas Davis have said they will be the last man standing, they were WRONG!!
SRFC will NEVER die!!
its definately ours to lose, but there is no point in celerbrating or gloating until its finally won.
we've waited long enough to win a league, i don't see a problem in waiting a few more weeks.
You make it sound like one of those 'for the good of the league' things, like supporting each other in Europe!
Actually such is the depth of my Bohemian bitterness, i would like to see City get second just to keep Pat's or Rowfuss out of Europe; just as long as we win the cup.
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.

It is good for the league because if it goes down to the last day it will generate more publicity and more interest and might even attract a few new fans to the league
low lie the fields of Bishopstown......
Fcuk sake give it a rest ! im a nervous wreck .Nothing is won yetI think with tonights result I can say Drogheda United 2007 Premier League Champions
You're just saying that because you're obsessed with Doolin. Your blind hatred is so obvious. Why don't you just get over it?
I know the Drogs fans are going to jump down my throat again with incoherent rants, but it's not really amazing that Drogs have turned around so much given the amount of money being pumped into them. Their losses for the year are two and a half times the budgets of the smaller clubs. If they didn't win anything with that, questions would have to be asked. No-one can sensibly compete with them now that Shels are gone.

When have i ever mentioned Doolin in any of my posts??You're just saying that because you're obsessed with Doolin. Your blind hatred is so obvious. Why don't you just get over it?

End of!

Drogheda United need 10 points from 18 points. Very possible and gettable against these teams:
Fri, Oct 5 Home Sligo Rovers
Fri, Oct 12 Away Shamrock Rovers
Fri, Oct 19 Home Cork City
Fri, Oct 26 Away Waterford Utd
Fri, Nov 2 Home Bray Wanderers
Fri, Nov 9 Away St. Pats
Looks like Rovers are gonna bottle there chance at second. Could well see them losing out to Pats and Cork with a 4th place finish.
[QUOTE=Saint MacDara;781958]Pat's and Cork will probably cancel eachother out of the title race for good with a draw in a few weeks.QUOTE]
Ye just about beat a second string United in Terryland. Dont think ye'll beat Cork City in their present form especially with Dinny Behans form.
Drogs are pretty much home and dry but there are still a bucket load of points to play for for so be careful about runing away with those thoughts of the title. I'm sure the squad wont be thinking like that

actually your remarks remind of the time we wiped the smile of your face in landsdowne AND tolka...!!!
Think Drogheda will win it in Waterford. Wins v Sligo, Cork & Waterford with a draw v Rovers.
It'll be tight between Cork, Pats and Rovers for the mionor places. Bohs might creep into 4th but that’s it for them IMO.

I wolud like to apologise on behalf of all the Drogheda united supporters who watched there team fail miserably for years , winning nothing and getting relegated on a regular basis .How dare someone come in and invest money to try and win the leauge ? Just who the hell do we think we are .We ought to be ashamed of ourselvesYou're just saying that because you're obsessed with Doolin. Your blind hatred is so obvious. Why don't you just get over it?

If results of the remaining games were to be identical to the first round of fixtures the final table would look like this:
But, as they say in all the best pensions adverts, past performance is not a guide to future performance.Code:Team P W D L F A Diff Pts Drogheda United 33 19 10 4 53 27 26 67 St Patricks Ath 33 17 8 8 51 30 21 59 Cork City 33 15 12 6 46 34 12 57 Shamrock Rovers 33 16 7 10 40 22 18 55 Bohemians 33 12 13 8 34 19 15 49 Derry City 33 11 13 9 29 23 6 46 Sligo Rovers 33 13 5 15 35 48 -13 44 UCD 33 9 12 12 35 38 -3 39 Galway United 33 5 16 12 26 34 -8 31 Bray Wanderers 33 8 7 18 28 51 -23 31 Longford Town* 33 7 10 16 32 54 -22 25 Waterford Utd 33 6 7 20 20 49 -29 25
Yip, and now we want payback!get back down to earth man... stop kiddin yourself.

Seriously though, I do think ye will win it, I'd just love it to go down to the last day
low lie the fields of Bishopstown......
With last night's result, all you can say is that Bray have improved their chances of staying up!I think with tonights result I can say Drogheda United 2007 Premier League Champions
And if they were to lose to Rovers and Cork City - that leaves them needing 10 from 12.
Different proposition altogether!
Far from over!
