    Highlights and Lowlights of 2009

    What were your personal "on the pitch" highlights and low points of the season just gone.

    Highlight: Beating Sligo 3-1 and Aaron Greene's goal against Rover the same night which handed us the league. Just because it was Rovers that were our main challengers. Any other time i would have picked the draw in Salzburg.

    Low Point: Salzburg at home - thinking about it still p!sses me off.

    Highlight : Not been many for us sadly this season, but probably the game aginst Bray at home at the end of July. It was hours after we heard the club was not going to be heading out of business and the game and atmosphere in the cross afterwards was absolutly fantastic.

    Lowlight : Loseing 3-2 to bray when we were 2-0 up with about 10 mins to go was a real sickener.

    The whole season has been overshadowed by our money problems IMO. It was the start of the European games when our money problems started to surface

    High:
    Undoubtedly, the 3-2 win over Cork, it was such a great feeling and at the time made me believe we might stay up.
    Beating Pats in the last minute was great too, especially after they'd equalised a minute or two earlier.

    Low:
    Losing 2-1 to Drogs in the last minute when we'd equalised a minute earlier.
    The Cup semi-final.

    Highs: A decent championship race in both divisions.

    Lows: The whole off-field farce. And the fact that a club can go as long as they want during the season without paying their players but its ok once an agreement is reached before licensing the next season.

    Its been a very disappointing season really.
    My personal high was the last minute winner in Jackman.
    There have been a lot of lows. The 2 draws with Athlone were pretty awful.

    Highlight of the season for me was the large portion of Chicken Curry chips i got in Finn Park for a ridiculously cheap price. I was quite drunk so i can't remember how much exactly but it may have been 50p in old money or something like that
