who will win the 1st division?

**The Lilywhites** · 21/07/2008, 4:09 PM

Dundalk, obviously.

**sporting** · 21/07/2008, 4:12 PM

dont think so. they'll bottle it as usuall.

**SalvadorSanchez** · 21/07/2008, 4:37 PM

next season Galway United, if we're still around..........

**LeixlipRed** · 21/07/2008, 4:53 PM

At this moment I think Fingal will. They've the momentum and we're absolute muck at the moment. Though our next 5 games are against the dregs of the division so 5 wins from 5 and I might change my mind.

We havn't hit our bad patch yet. Can't go through a season without one. That will probably put a halt to our ambitions until next year. Limerick are coming in a weeks time while Shels play muck teams. The way they are playing they could beat us. Then in August we go to Waterford and play Shels and Dundalk at Morton. Those games will have a big say in whether Fingal are capable or not of winning it.

we have proved we are more than capeble of getting results against the top 3. and with us playing athlone and limerick in next 2 games, i think we'll be top of table monday night.

**Black and White** · 21/07/2008, 5:10 PM

Dundalk, we dont have a tough run for the next few games so if we improve on our performances and finally sign an out an out goalscoring striker, then i believe it will be us...if not then maybe fingal, or even limerick with their goal machine, is it sheehan???, up front!!but i do tink itll be us, but tune in here..IF WE DO, THE FAI WILL FIND SOME WAY OF SCREWING US OUT OF PLAYING IN THE PREMIER DIVISION NEXT YEAR!!

That's kind of the Limerick who have won their last 4 games including against Shels and Dundalk. They are like a new team now since we beat them 3-1 in Limerick. Should be a good game

**sporting** · 21/07/2008, 5:16 PM

limerick have being going threw a purple patch and if we wore playing in limerick it might be different. but fingal in morton are unstopable.

**philball08** · 21/07/2008, 5:17 PM

fingal have already had their bad patch. beaten 5-1 in first game, beaten in monaghean, drawing with kildare!!

I hope Limerick 37 keep on the run they are on as I have a nice bet on them at 100/1

But saying that last season I had a bet on Harps at 28/1 the day after they beat us 2-0 in Finn Park just as they started on their unbeaten spell and it was the results against us a loss and a draw that cost them the league.

limerick lack the experience to maintain the run they are on, of all the teams capable of winning the league fingal have the most experience, most of there wore in the prem or top 1st div teams last year, hopefully this will show over the next 5 or 6 games which could decide our faith, with limerick shels waterford and dundalk all coming up
