Premier Division
Bray Wanderers v Finn Harps
Cork City v UCD
Drogheda Utd v Galway Utd
St Patricks Ath v Derry City
Shamrock Rov v Bohemians
Sligo Rovers v Cobh Ramblers

I think City will absolutely thump UCD this weekend. Not through any great tactical nous from Mathews, but the changes which you would imagine he will be forced to make. UCD are a poor outfit, and will almost certainly go down this season. A good win hear kick starts the season (tm).

Drogs should easily take the 3 points against a Galway side in dissarray at the moment.

SPA Vs Derry should be a good game. I would have assumed it was being televised, but apparently not.

First Division
Longford Town v Kildare County
Sporting Fingal v Dundalk
Waterford Utd v Limerick 37
Monaghan Utd v Athlone Town
Wexford Youths v Shelbourne

Dublin Derby on Friday!!

Rovers who are flying and have only conceded one (controversial) goal so far and playing fantastic stuff (even Roddy says so) against a shambles of a B*hs side who havent gotten going yet.

An easy 3 points for the hoops and the joy of watching the seeds of the bozo fans try and remove another manager.

Ho ho! It's the wisdom of Roddy! We'll see.
Shams certainly are flying... by their standards. And, as you say, we haven't gotten going yet... by ours.
Bring it on! :pac:

KdjaCL · 03-04-2008 12:59PM

tough game for us, harris back in training so could start.

Clarke
Lynch/Brennan Cearuil/Paisley Partridge Paisley/Byrne
Ryan Fahey Dempsey/Lynch Kirby
O Neill Quigley

I know drogs cork and bohs stuttering, rovers flying and derry doing ok. But jebus look at our possible 11 for friday thats without Harris Keane or Ndo :eek: team in bold should play maybe

Keane fit this week, Ndoisdoubtful

Think we will win it, Rovers to win, Cork to win Drogs to draw

The Roderick reference, was as you well know, tongue in cheek.

By our standards we are back where we traditionally have been after a few barren years - towords the top of the pile playing good ball based on a solid defence.

The D7 vermin, after a couple of succesful years, are back where you traditionally belong. Scrabbling around the basement with delusions of grandeour, splits in your fanbase, a manager who makes no secret that the B*hs job is a stepping stone to the Rovers one and relying on novel fundrasing approaches such as getting banned hooligans to stump up a grand each to be let back into games to pay the bills.

The Dalymount soap opera is in full swing and we are only 3 games in.

Is your use of the word 'vermin' also tongue in cheek?

Your fantasies and your obsession with happenings at Dalymount are entertaining and even touching (do all Shams agree on everything? I have no idea, because I couldn't care less).

But do you think you are capable of having a discussion about a football match without resorting to abusive language?

If it's straightforward abuse, then I suggest that the mods take action. If it's humour, then perhaps you could have a look at some modern techniques in that genre. Being funny would be a start.

Whatever the result tomorrow night, Bohs will still finish ahead of Rovers like.

Is that one of the modern humour techniques Section F was talking about?

No chance.

Obsession? Imagine, talking about Bohs the day before the derby! Whatever next?

What exactly here is 'fantasy'?

bohsman · 03-04-2008 03:59PM

Best start to a season in years and "Bohs havent got going yet" 3 wins out of 4 including a 3-0 win in a league where theres not going to be many easy matches, cant wait till we get going.

Well I do and I;d say most geniune LoI fans do. I hate Bohs with a passion, but another homeless team in Ireland is not what we need.

In the First Division, Magic Mike Kerley makes a return to Waterford United, no doubt hoping to relive the glorious days he had there

KdjaCL · 03-04-2008 06:59PM

Doubt its dead they got money from the deal, reckon the developer is looking for a cheaper price. Current property market prices mean he be paying a lot more than the grounds worth now.

this thread would be better if it contained the words "mega fun" somewhere in the title. a missed opportunity there Gimmick!

longford and UCD will finish nil all, in a tedious 90 minutes of action. we might see a shot on target, if we're lucky.

sorry, i meant to say cork city instead of longford, it's easy to make that mistake these days..

No it's not.

Longford have scored 8 goals in 4 games.

KdjaCL · 04-04-2008 12:47PM

Agreed needs funny thread title, Gimmick gets no thanks on this one.

oh yeah, i see where the comparison fails, you wouldn't have seen much of them last season, what with being in the first division and all, whereas because now they're actually in the first division, the shoe is on the other foot, so to speak

bohsman · 04-04-2008 12:57PM

Crowe takes over as Bohs leading all time goalscorer if he scores tonight.

Interesting. Another reason to gloat tomorrow!!

His record is quite poor against the hoops, one goal in 20+ games, and that was in 2001 IIRC.

Ronan|Raven · 04-04-2008 01:17PM

Draw against Kildare.
