Greatest League in the World 2025 [LOI Thread]

St Pats could nick this yet.

3 very winnable games for them. Of course it would mean the 3 above them all dropping points, but it could happen easily with Derry and Shels. It's Rovers they would have to hope wouldn't win their 3 games.

Would be some story to see SK and his team come up round the outside to steal the title.

It's getting to squeaky bum time, so I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone's team the best of luck*

*except Sligo, Derry, Galway, Pats, Shels, Bohs, Dundalk, Drogheda, Waterford, and Bohs again coz they're Bohs.

Pats have Galway at home, very winnable

Derry at home, very winnable the way we are playing

Sligo away, yes a toughie, but would hardly be a major shock if they won that too.

Admittedly that would be 9 consecutive wins, which is always a hard ask.

A lot depends on whether Shels beat Waterford tomorrow. If they do it probably rules out us and Galway regardless of which of us wins. As we'd need Shels to slip up in both of the last two matches.

The way this season has gone, it’s hard to see any side winning 9 games in a row. If Pats manage that, fair play to them, I think tomorrow against Galway will be their toughest remaining game.
It really is the season that nobody wants to win the title!
Shels/ Derry really let it slip, Rovers chave long through late on also.
Im still hopeful of 4th for Galway and a cup win for Derry, that’s realistically as good as we can hope for now, but last Feb I’d have been delighted to not be involved in the playoffs, and we’re over that now!

Jesus, I didn’t realise Waterford’s form was actually worse than ours.

Current betting on paddy power

Rovers 13/8

Derry 2/1

Shels 9/4

Pats 9/1

Nothing between the top 3, Pats worth a punt

I have a tenner on each of Rovers at 13/8 and Pats at 10/1. so if either win the league I profit.

Obviously I'd rather only have the €6.25 profit of a Rovers win.

Gotta laugh, you'd think McEleney was the first ever player to dive in the LOI.

Well they have to pick up some points, as they are playing each other.

A point, they're guaranteed a point from the last 3 games.

I think the top 4 will win tonight, leaving it as you were, but with less opportunity to overtake.

I've changed my mind on it so many times but at the moment I think Shels will win it. I think they will beat Waterford tonight and I think Rovers will beat Drogheda. If Bohs take something in Sligo it is extremely hard to see Drogheda catch Bohs and they may have an eye on the cup final and playoff game which could make next weeks game between Shels and Drogs a bit easier for Shels. I think Derry lose or at least drop points to Pats and that would mean they cannot catch Shels and may rest players for the cup final. The caveat there would be if Derry are in danger of needing points to get Europe guaranteed before the cup they may need to go all out against Shels on the final day.

Whatever happens it will be fun and more than likely every prediction I have just made will be incorrect

Thankfully Virgin have Shels on tonight. RTE's coverage in general this year has been pretty sh!t. When you consider the amount of games they show that the majority of people gives two fcuks about (Ladies national team) they really should be investing more money in to showing at least 1 game every couple of weeks (at a minimum)

Nice one, although these days it's not really needed other than to see what the goal was like.
