Quote3-0 now. That's that, you would think.
Drogs 2-0 up on the night. 2-2 on aggregate. It's up for grabs now as Brian Moore once famously said.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

3 nil drogs .
Bad day all round for wexford
Drogheda lead 3-2.
Serves Wexford right.
They treated the league with contempt. Players fecking off before the season ended, Lee Chin going to a GAH chicken supper dinner on play off night, the manager agreeing to p1ss off to Galway before the final play off game....
We are trying to improve the league. This pub league amateurish stuff has no place in the top division.
I'd blame the manager most out of those you've mentioned. No way he should be putting himself in a position where that news got out before the game. The players that got offered a new career in NZ had little choice on timing and apparently let the club know before the start of the season.

Harsh, but also hard to argue with!! Chicken supper dinner though!!
Thank you Drogheda for saving us the worst trip in the league.
I can now look forward to visiting United Park, the second worst trip in the league.
Drogheda are up.
Congratulations to Pete Mahon and John Gill. A terrific achievement.
Commiserations to the supporters of Wexford Youths. A decent group of people who deserved better from a number of people.
strangely enough in 07 when we went down automatically waterford lost in the playoffs and now nine years later history repeats itself with wexford takin their place! If we were in wexfords shoes I wouldnt have fancied us at all tonight. I can live with myself with this whole season after wexford losin the playoffs.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
You can't stop players emigrating during the year. Sure half the clubs in the league could be accused of the same at some point in that case.Originally Posted by White Horse
The manager thing is the worst part, although I'd blame Galway for leaking it.
We had a player retire during one season, but that is a different story.
Would rather Wexford stayed up but have to hand it to Drogheda that was some turnaround, wasn't exactly on the same level as ourselves last year coming from 1 down to relegate the greatest team in the history of football but fair play.
At least the Brennans now have a premier division club to play for next season.
COngrats to Drogs. I think they may have been better off losing this in the long term. I think they would have won the division next year and if we do move to 10/10 rather than 12/8 divisions they might have a better chance of staying up the following year. I quite like United Park. Its a ****hole but its a fun ****hole. Love the roof on the away end. Makes even a handful of fans sound loud.
Who do people think will win the First next year now? I don't think Longford or Wexford will be in great shape. Maybe Longford will surprise me. Cobh could improve on this year and make a run at the playoffs, maybe win it with some luck.
UCD. Good team and now have players from the the U19 champions side coming through.
Yea would agree. Feel sorry for the supporters/volunteers behind the scenes and Shane Keegan who put in alot of work the last 4 years. The team however probably deserved it. The players that left aswell are not excatly playing in a decent league also and are doing some coaching. If I was in the same position I would have stayed but its just my opinion. Lee Chin saga embarrassing for Wexford and the league.
I think we'll be ok. As in up at the top end, providing those that were paying the bills this year agree to keep paying next year. If not, well we're in serious bother.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
To be honest I forgot about UCD. Always a dark horse. Will be a team worth watching early next season.
Keegan devastated and eager to give the full story re Galway (in tomorrow's paper) according to Dan McDonnell. Presumably it'll be something along the lines of how it was never supposed to be leaked yet because there's been no denial. If I were a Wexford fan I'd be disgusted with how it has played out today.
