NEWSFLASH: due to my lack of superpowers I can't attend every game in the division and can only make a judgement based on what I've seen, I tried my best to explain it above, do you need me to go over it once more??

**hoops1** · 20/09/2006, 11:43 AM

Good man. Seeing as though you cant make every game.Its a good idea
to take a look at the league table.This normally lets you know who the best
teams are. Now use this table and add 3 points for Rovers game in hand.
Now add another 3 for the way the league should look.Now take your theory
of who Limerick have played and beaten and apply it to everybody playing everbody.And your end result is not Rovers finishing 3rd(ridiculous) but top.Thank you

My prediction:

Rovers: 72
Dundalk: 68
Galway: 64
Cobh: 55
Kildare: 53
Limerick: 51
Harps: 45
Athlone: 33
Monaghan: 26
Kilkenny: 17

Well we've played ye 3 times this year and won 2 and in all the games
Dundalk have been very poor to watch so I'd be expecting us to pick up
at least a point in Oriel

Even though we're playing poorly I still think we'll pick up more than
3 points in the last 9 games

One of those games v us was a League Cup tie, and therefore doesn't count.

Since losing in Limerick, we haven't lost at all. We have 5 home games left, and will probably win at least 4, if not all 5 of them. A couple of draws away from home, teamed with the 3 points re-claimed, should see us home with a good bit to spare.

Fair enough, i could be WAY off - it's only a prediction - thats like a guess, isn't it

**oriel** · 20/09/2006, 1:07 PM

Whoever wins tomorrow nights game between us and Rovers will win the lge, if its a draw, def advantage rovers but these two will slog it out for a few weeks until one pulls clear. I`m not sure Gawlay have the capability of finishing first, i think 3rd was the highest they have been all year.

Betting from paddy power is usually spot on, here are the prices today

Rovers 8/11
Dundalk 2/1
Galway 7/2
Cobh 20/1
Lims 40/1

I predicting a 1-0 win for us tomorrow night which will prob mean Rovers/Dlk will be priced at around evens.

Yes Dundalk were poor at the start of the season (very in fact) but its form from the middle to end that counts.

**sadloserkid** · 20/09/2006, 1:15 PM

Rovers to win for sure, Dundalk second, Galway third and promoted. Then a nice comfortable gap before ourselves, Cobh and Harps stagger over the line somewhat in a random order.

Cant agree there. If you win tomorrow night you'll be 3 clear with an inferior goal difference and we'll still have a game in hand so dont know how that means the winner will take the league. After tomorrow we'll have 9 games left so talk of Champions is premature.

Betting from PP is spot on probably due to a galway contributor here who bizarrely thinks our team are mullahs

What has gone on before means squat. It's all down to the 90 minutes tomorrow. Oh by the way **** your thursday night football.

The championship is decided over 36 games, not 1.

Even if we lose in Dundalk, I have no doubt we will win the league, as our rock-solid defence, games/points in hand, and overall consistency week in, week out will separate us from the rest come 18th November.

Actaully 2nd and we've been higher in the league than yee have for large parts too.I'll be bringing this thread back to life in November when GUFC win the league.

**oriel** · 20/09/2006, 3:07 PM

By all means bring it back to life in mid november, we`ll fill you in on how our night went in jacksons hotel balybofey celebrating winning the lge that weekend.

**gufct** · 20/09/2006, 4:02 PM

if rovers win and we win on friday you will be in third place a point behind us with an inferior goal difference and yet to travel to terryland so to scoff at GUFC chances is a bit premature.

There will be a lot of twist and turns before the 18th of November and no team are in with a divine right to win the division.

**Paddyfield** · 20/09/2006, 4:38 PM

Dundalk and Shamrock Rovers have to play in Terryland before the season ends. Keep in mind that Galway United haven't lost at home in over a year. Don't count your chickens and all that...

Why is it that you seem to only have a problem with my prediction? Just cos Galway don't appear in my top 3, sad!

Caus you know nothing about the division if you think we'll finish putside the top 3.Like me saying i think Sligo will still finish in the bottom 2.

**DvB** · 21/09/2006, 8:16 AM

Personally i think its nigh on impossible to call how this will pan out, i genunely cant see anyone other than Rovers, Dundalk or Galway actually winning the title though, it should make for an interesting run in though, of that we can be sure.
