With Shields and Mountany injured and Clifford suspended, I'm sure O'Donnell will be rested, not really sure who will start in midfield for us.

If you could go ahead and win that one it would be appreciated.

Ha the bitter part of me would kind of want us not to win just to take it away from Cork winning it on the pitch!

If rumours are to be believed, the 3rd relegation spot will be null and void in due course due to our North Korean overlords going bust/not getting a licence next season. I'd like to see Sligo come down to the poxy first division though fwiw.

If it is the case where football ends in Bray, I wonder who will step up the plate, as an uneven Premier or First division would be a bit of a disaster. It would also have implications on the European places should Bray qualify for Europe

Galway 1-0! Really Don't want to see pats go down. Talking to pats fans at the fans game Monday who reckon that'll be the end of them if they do. Definitely my favourite of the Dublin clubs.

It's very concerning alright. Could be a very difficult period for Saints

So two of the three relegation spots are pretty much decided. With Harps goal difference counting against them they would need to win both remaining games and hope for other results to go their way. They have Drogs at home which they should win but they would still need to beat Bohs away on the last day of the season. Not impossible but unlikely.

Limerick should also win their game in hand against Drogs which should lift them from danger.

Realistically, the last relegation spot should be contested between Pats, Galway and Sligo. One point separates all three teams.

Saints finish with Cork at home and Derry away which is tough. Hopefully Cork will be on the piss next Friday.

Galway are away to limerick and home to Dundalk who are likely to be resting players for the cup final.

Sligo have the easiest run in I reckon. Home to Derry and away to Drogs.

It's too tight to call

Another huge night.
Harps should be beating Drogs and could potentially give themselves a shot at survival if other results go their way.
Galway have two tricky games left. Hope to God they drop points tonight.
Saints playing against the Champs and fingers crossed that they are hanging after their celebrations. A win this evening could see us officially safe if Galway lose (which I don't predict)

I expect Cork to win tonight with the weight of not blowing the biggest lead in history gone off their backs.
Also fancy Galway to beat Limerick based on them needing it more.
 
Harps have to be winning against Drogs.
Goinf to be a hell of a final weekend
