I can only but thank Higgins for asking this question but now we're out which of these lesser evils we preferring?

Personally, will not attend on Friday and would prefer Shels over them, from the comfort of Bennigans.

Shels for me. Been top all season and deserve it. Have a much less budget than Rovers. And a Shels win will disrupt the norm - can't have Rovers winning 5 in a row.

Duff has demonstrated what a good manager can achieve.

Jeez I thought someone had started a Poll on our next manager.

I can think of a few that will be dusting off their CV...

Let hope it happens soon.

For me Rovers are the benchmark. Said it many times over - they set the standards on and off the pitch.

They are the leading Club in Europe year in year out and have the best stadium, best players, best set up, highest attendances etc.

But 5 in a row would suggest we have a 1 team league... which is unfair considering Dundalk's dominance in recent times.

But Shels are very similar to ourselves - chaotic history, old stadium, passionate fans, not won a league in 20 odd years etc.

And Duff is character and has been great for the league...

I'd take the lesser of 2 evils, Shels.

Just for the good of the league, don't want Rovers doing 5 in a row.

I like Duff but hate Shels

I like Bradley but really hate Rovers...

Rovers have the mentality to win it though... They've been there and done it and know how to do it... Shelbourne have stuttered and it was apparent the wee men were inside their heads for a while there, but they are on a roll and will roll into next Friday night with a winner takes all attitude...

If Shelbourne win it they deserve it on how they've been all season... And they will love lifting the trophy in our back yard which is sickening... Have they the bottle to do it on the final night though ?

I think every fan is disgusted this morning in the fact that next Friday night is all about pride and qualifying for Europe despite the cup final... I dont see the Brandywell selling out for this one, unless Shels bring a bigger support than normal

We can't qualify for Europe via the league if Rovers and Pats win next week

Shels should bring a massive support and if they want one of the stands they should be given it. There will be little interest from the home support other than to turn up and watch the league winners trot out at the Brandywell.

^^^ THIS

Cant see Rovers losing either tomorrow or Friday night...
Cant see St. Pats losing next week either...

Cant see us beating Shels on Friday night too

(Hope I'm wrong though)

All 3 of those teams have an opportunity to see out their season, secure Europe and a league title.

It would shock me if any of the big 3 were to throw away an opportunity like that.

We need to be realistic. The cup final is our most likely route to Europe.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2024 10:21 pm**

Bradley & Rovers any day of the week over Duff & Shels. I really hope the players have enough fire in their belly on Friday night to prevent Shels from winning the league I hope the thought of watching them lift the league title in the Brandywell is as sickening for them as it is us as fans

St. Pats cant win the title

I'd prefer to see Rovers win it purely for the shits and giggles of watching Shels and Duff blow it.

Posted: **Sun Oct 27, 2024 12:07 am**

Would rather see Shels win the league than Rovers. Shels have been top of the league for most of the season, so deserve it. Plus - Rovers winning 5 in a row would just be feckin' boring.

Plus I'd like Rovers to NOT have the Champions League route into Europe for a change.

Posted: **Sun Oct 27, 2024 8:03 am**

Imagine how smug Bradley would be?!

At least duff would have reason to be over the top!

Still the latter for me. Though potential for a riot in the brandywell, either way

Posted: **Sun Oct 27, 2024 11:08 am**

I'd rather shels won it. Rovers have at least €4.4m from Europe this year so by winning the league again this year gives them the opportunity of three chances of getting back into the group stages next year widening the gap between us further.

Now we're 4th.
