Boy does it feel good to be kissing the first division goodbye.

4 years we've been waiting for this but we're back in the big time :D :D

YAY!! :D :D

I think the hardest year is yet to come .... Pats seem to be getting some order back, Rover have 9 million invested, Derry have Kenny and a hatred for you lot, Dublin City are gone. There wont be much room at the end of the table. If Harps want to stay up, they'll have to make an impression early on.

Best of luck anyway and looking forward to a trip to Ballbofey !!

By God it Feels Good to be there at last.
We really have to go out now and win the League and prove to ourselves more than anyone that we can do it.
There has been a wave of apathy around Finn Park this year and hopefully now this will bring the crowds back for the end of the season And Harps can show that we Are capable of competing in the Prem. We'll Consolidate next season and build from there. We have more patience than anyone so we're not expecting miracles.
Wish I could be at the game in Monaghan tomorrow.

Bring on the Shels the Shams the Gypsies ;)

Congrats. Been to Ballybofey and Finn Park once (and there wasn't a match on :o - the groundsman left me in).

Finn Harps seem to be a club that most people for some reason like.

Pablo, seeing as you pretty much asked for it...HA HA!

We're baaaaaack!

But of course Pablo you're absolutely right, we have contributed nothing to the league over the years, what with fostering so many players many of who were going nowhere after not making it in England and getting them some sort of qualification and developing them as footballers what on earth were we thinking? Furthermore how dare we run football as a meritocracy, by gad sir Kildare with that fine ground of theirs and its stadium that rivals Old Trafford should be promoted. What were we thinking?

By the way thanks Ash! (Just to show we have no beef with the Thoroughbreds).

I don't mean to open a tin of worms but unlike Cork, UCD own their home ground.

And while I'm on the subject, have you ever been to Ballybofea? Are you saying that Finn Park is a better ground than Belfield?

dortie

01/11/2004, 3:46 PM

Are you saying that Finn Park is a better ground than Belfield?

Although Im at pain to see UCD back up I have to agree that Belfield isnt as bad as Finn Park.

So has Finn Harps and UCD got the A-license yet. Not a word of it for some strange reason.

Serious point on the UEFA Licence though - how can any First Division clubs realistically make the changes without any Government/FAI funding, which was promised when eircom Park fell through? I'd say half the teams in the league have had games when the gate didn't even pay the officials - how are they supposed to build a 1500-seater stand? UEFA Licencing is a great idea, but it seems to have bene appallingly implemented and won't have any miplications for which team plays in which division next season.

UEFA Licencing ... won't have any implications for which team plays in which division next season.

Unless Galway yet the license, then the feaces would hit the fan.

02/11/2004, 1:38 PM

im sure harps will have it sorted by next season

the alternative of playin their games in the brandywell will be enough of a motivation ;)

At least the lad witnessed his club WIN something in the past 30 years. Who are Harps to slag off any club.

More incite full input from Dortie :rolleyes:

Dortie can you explain exactly why you hate Finn Harps FC, and why you just abuse any Harps fan that is trying to hold a decent debate with you.

Personally I don't hate Derry City, I just think some of your fans a fools at best.

Wile understandably Derry City and Harps fans dont agree to much there is a general concensus amongst both that Dortie/Housty is a ******!!!!!!!!!!!May as well play him at his own game.
