PD winner Cork 2-4/Europe Dundalk, Rovers, Derry Relegated Harps, Bohs, Drogs 1st winner Longford PD top scorer Maguire Surprise package Bray in the short term. Decent, but completely unsustainable side Disappointment Pats. Expectations are muted but I think they will stink the place up. One way or another Dundalk will be a weaker side and I think 4 is beyond them Team most likely to get a * Athlone First manager to go Keith Long ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |

3 go down RTID. Winner- Dundalk 2- City 3-Derry 4- Shams Relegated-Harps, Drogheda, Pats 1st winners- Waterford PD top scorer- Maguire Surprise- Limerick Disappointment- Pats Most likely to get an *- Take your pick. Bray, Athlone, Waterford, Longford, Wexford F.C. etc. It wouldn't shock me if they all got one. First manager to go- Bradley ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

| back to the predictions. If you cant hack it that someone thinks your team isn't up to it and want to 'call their bluff' with a wager, there's a fierce handy feature called Private Message. Take it there. That goes for anyone ejecting rattles over someone elses predictions. |

I'm incapable of not putting City as winners, not based on much more than optimism. PD winner: City 2-4/Europe: Dundalk, Shams, Derry Relegated: Drogheda, Harps, Bohs 1st winner: Blahs PD top scorer: Maguire, unless he gets bought in the summer Surprise package: Ramblers mounting a serious title challenge Disappointment: Bohs getting relegated for the first time in their history Team most likely to get a * Blahs First manager to go: Long ------------- Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile. |

McCormack and Keohane are far from "not decent" from what Iv seen and we've kept anyone worth anything to us from last year bar Ogbene, but he didnt really feature either way. You dont have to go out and sign 8 new players every year to win a league, Dundalk have done three in a row based on stability and bringing in quality once another leaves. As for Caulfield being a bullsh*tter, thats a matter of opinion, I think he's an immensely passionate LOI man who is learning his managerial trade after coming up from MSL, he showed last year he is willing to move on from the long ball game, we played some seriously good football at times. Iv spent some time in his company and if men like him and Brian Kerr were given the chance to develop the league we'd be in a far better position, FAI would never go for it though. I say that as someone who didnt fancy Caulfield in his first two years btw, he's changed my mind. PD winner: City
2-4/Europe: Dundalk, Derry, Rovers Relegated: Harps, Bohs, Limerick 1st winner: Longford PD top scorer: Maguire Surprise package: Drogheda Disappointment: Pats Team most likely to get a * : Bray and Waterford if they dont get promoted. First manager to go: Bradley |

I may need to replace Long with Bradley as the first manager to go. Why didn't he just go full Baraclough at Motherwell and say he could win the league  ------------- I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona |

PD winner - Dundalk 2-4/Europe - Cork City, Derry City, Sligo Rovers (FAI Cup Winners) Relegated - Bray wanderers, Finn Harps, Drogheda Utd (10th - 12th placing) 1st winner - UCD AFC PD top scorer - David McMillan Relegated - Top scocer relegated? Killian Brennan Surprise package - (1) Waterford Utd Cup Finalists, they beat Cork City in the 2nd round after CCFC returned from a UEFA EL Play-Off 2nd leg. The pained conversation about the fixture started after the 3rd round 1st leg when the Rebels got a small advantage and wanted Waterford to change the fixture from the original weekend. Sunday Afternoon Football was The Blues simple response. - (2) a surprise to me that 1st - 4th in Premier once again qualified for 4 European spots. I didn't think it would be that regular. - (3) UCD qualify for UEFA Youth League Qualifiers. The third year of knock-out tournament for underage domestic Champions not competing in UEFA Youth League. Disappointment - UCD not getting promoted. Team most likely to get a * - Pepper Money to be mentioned in dispatches during Dáil Eireann questions. First manager to go - I understood they prefer to be called Coaches now. ------------- www.ucdsupporters.ie |

| Think we could be in a little bit of bother. A serious lack of experience in our squad and we haven't replaced a couple of players. We need a leader and a couple of experienced LOI players to make a decent push this season. Hope to be proven wrong. |

In reality its 11/10 for Cork to finish higher than Rovers, Pats and Derry......I'd imagine JC is going to be under serious pressure to win the league this season. Can he handle it ? ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Dont bother cc. I fancy City too but that’s an awful
price. Anything can happen this season. If McGuire got injured, city could finish
fifth. That’s just the way it goes. |

Awful odds for a season long bet if you're putting a lot of cash on it. You'd be better off doing a couple of decent bankers in a double. That way you only have to chew your fingernails for an afternoon and not for a whole season.

http://https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2017/0221/854215-sse-airtricity-league-preview/" rel="nofollow - RTE's is decent. Decent coverage overall so far this season.
