1st division

How do you figure that you be favourites for the league. You'll still be 3 behind and will still have to play Waterford twice

Really cant wait for this,if Dundalk win and Shels beat Waterford on Monday,we really are in the driving seat,should be a good game too

I'm well aware of that, but we will have a game in hand. Also, I just feel that we will definitely have a psychological advantage should we beat your lot in Oriel...again. The manner of our victory against Limerick suggests to me that we are coming good at the right time.

I think our run in is good with two home games followed by a struggling Kildare away in the last game.

Dodgy refereeing decision is all I can say. Biggest game of the season by but I have said that possibly each time we play Shels or Waterford. I really can't wait and I belive that we will not lose the match. Should be a great game and hopefully Shels can bring a few too

Lets get Shels out of the way first

I agree,i was just pointing it out to the shels fan who was implying they would be favourites should they beat us!!!

Here we go Head to Head league. Makes for interesting reading. Results in the last series are really going to go a long way in deciding who finishes where:

Teams P W D L F A Diff Pts
Fingal 9 3 4 2 11 10 1 13
Dundalk 9 3 4 1 8 8 0 13
Shels 8 2 5 1 8 5 3 11
Waterford 8 3 1 4 8 10 -2 10


Pretty Tight

Still fuming over the game the other night. The only thing that makes me feel any way better is that to be fair wexford deserved it. If we had played great and wexford sneaked a win that would upset me more but in fairness wexford hit us on the break brilliantly and their finishing was top class (ba$tards) Good look to the youths for the rest of the season

Nice to read something like that. It was actually a decent match, I think most neutrals would have enjoyed it (I think that's the first time I've been able to say that about a Youths match I've been to). We really did play some lovely football going forward, although we looked very hesitant at the back at times, especially from set pieces and for Doyle's second goal.

Well done Lamper. Like meself, I call football as I see it, regardless of who you support

There is far too much good feeling toward Wexford Youth's..............Where are the Limerick lads!!!???

Nice one. Shep whats the euromillions on Friday?

Lets just hope a referees performance doesnt decide the match tonite.What I Mean is the four games we'v played against shels this season so far have all had a "magnificant" performance by the man in the middle, esp. in oriel back in May, what a joke he was!Bisto to break his leg in oriel tonight!!!

We beat them 1-0 in oriel near the end of last season with an early Robbie Doyle goal proving decisive,so sorry Finnpark,but your arguement is now null and void!!!

Ludicrious. You missed last season league matches in Oriel. We beat shels 3-0 and 1-0 respectively. Some of those scorelines are over 5 years old and i think you got one of them wrong. I remember us beating Shels in '98 2-1 and Shels losing the title to St. Pats. Oh what a joy Dundalk to win tonight. I don't care what score or if it goes in off Bakers behind but "I've got a feeling yeah"

The crowd tonight is going to be massive. Dundalk and Shels are going to put some of the premier clubs to shame with the attendence tonight

Roll On

Trust me Shels will score

End of season results are meaningless as Shels had nothing to play for. Dundalk won't win

shame as no major coverage in newspapers as this i has the makings of been a cracker and is going to be a great evenings entertainment. hope shels win so that dundalk will need a win in kingspan century park next week.
