    Any other questions?

    1/ Pat Fenlon (cheque book manager me arse, couldn't manager a game of tiddly winks)
    2/ Mike Kerley ( Limerick manager, says it all really, id say Lim fans might even agree )
    3/ Harps (Super Higsy at the helm will prove the doubters wrong)
    4/ Derry / Bohs (Derry for the king Kenny return, newcastle anyone? and Bohs because with nutsy in charge I fear for them)
    5/ Pats (they gotta be over spending, is there not a points deduction for going over the 65% ?)

    6/ How long before Georgie falls out with Mathews?
    About a month to 6 weeks I reckon.

    1/ Fenlon - it's almost an annual event at Bohs to sack a manager
    2/ Scully - so that he can replace Fenlon
    3/ Cork City - this could be the year of the Langers
    4/ St. Pat's - they might struggle to get into top 4 or 5
    5/ Longford - again

    1) Tony Cousins
    2) Paul Hegarty. Seems a trigger happy sort.
    3) Sporting Fingal..though seeing as everyone's picking them I'm not sure it'll be a surprise. Cobh as a backup. No pressure.
    4) Galway.
    5) Athlone. Hopefully.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Thanks Partisan. I really think that Galway are in for a good season this year.

    The squad of players that Tony has at his disposal this year has much more quality and depth than this time last year IMO.
