have not backed it yet but would like opinions

ya i'd go for a draw, with cousins taking over kildare will be up for it like all teams with a new manager coming in.

The league is wide open again and even Waterford have an outside chance now. I had given up on it after last weekends results but if we beat Kildare tonight and Shels and Fingal draw we could be in with a shout again with Shelbourne at home next Friday night.

I hear Gill was looking over his shoulder at Scully in the stand last night!

Can someone post the remaining fixtures for the clubs still in the mix? (or are they earlier in the thread?)

Well done Limerick. Played some good stuff at times and did well to hold on. I always felt this would be our toughest match out of the remaining games. Have 4 slow defenders and always struggle against the very quick Limerick team. Limerick could be a very decent side next season.

As for the league, we need a large dose of good luck now but cant see Shelbourne not winning it. Prob deserved it overall and if not for Floods injury they may even have it wrapped up already.

Dear Santa,

I Know its early but what i would really like for christmas this year is a 2+ goal win for Fingal.I have been a good boy all year and said my prayers.

Also if you could miraclously guide us to win our last two games even with an incompetant manager at the helm it would be great.

Thanks Santa...your our only hope now

the only positive thing to come out of our supporters meeting last was the news that youd f@uked it up again

not exactly good for scully to be in the stand last night. Surely this would have had an effect on gill.

Think RTE need to pull their fingers out and turn some attention to this league.

Just think - if Waterford beat Kildare tonight, and Fingal beat Shels, we'll be going into the last two games of the season with just 2 points separating the top 4.

And just to add extra spice, Waterford play Shels next week.

Like trevy, I thought the game was up for us after the last few weeks.

But after last night, maybe, just maybe...............?

**Jofspring** · 31/10/2008, 11:37 AM

Ya some bit of coverage. Even setanta or TG4 to pick up the last few games in the run in.

I was in the stand last night. Can't say I saw him though

Agree completely, bad form, some members of the board want rid of him, I heard that Pete Mahon was in the stand too, though didn't see him. We don't deserve to win the league, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Waterford sneak it on the last day of the season.

Who was your number 6? He completely dominated the midfield. Have you changed colours, or is that green shirt your third kit?

**holidaysong** · 31/10/2008, 11:48 AM

I'm gutted after last night but it was hardly surprising given the jinx that Limerick have had over us for the last year and a half. It was all doom and gloom in the Lilywhite Lounge after the match last night but looking at the remaining fixtures in the cold light of day, Shelbourne could drop points in any of their three remaining games (the way this division is though, they could also win them all)...

The crazy thing is, if Fingal were to win 2-0 tonight then we'd be back on top.. I think I'll have to go to Tolka tonight to see what happens. If Shelbourne do win tonight then it's hard to see them not getting the point in Waterford and the home win on the last day that would be enough to clinch it. However, if Fingal do manage to get a result tonight then it's still wide open.. The result last night actually gives Fingal even more of an incentive to try and win tonight.

I think we are clutching at straws here and the quicker we realise it's over then the less painful it will be

in the long run

I don't think I'm clutching at straws yet. Shels have only gotten 2 points from their three matches against Fingal so far this season.. I'm definitely waiting until 10pm tonight before throwing in the towel.

Quite right too. I really can't see us getting seven points from our last three games.

wasn't at the match so it WAS either lyons (small fella) or colbert (taller one). Both are very good midfielders.
