[jebus]

Congrats lads, all in all ye deserved it, and there's a very small part of me is happy that ye did it in the faces of the money clubs (cough Athlone cough Harps). See ye in the 2009 season :p

Fair play Rams, always loved the club. Got to a good few homes this season, but no where near enough. Love it.

Premier league club. Fair play.

Enjoy the party.

What a night. We were brutal first half, pure nerves. They must have flooded the pitch earlier in the day, none of our lads could stay on their feet. Athlone hit the bar early on and then Bilko slipped as guts back-headed and god only knows how it went over on the bounce.

I'd say Hendo was spittin fire at half time and it did the trick. We were our normal selves after and took the game by the scruff of the neck. The goal was messy but who cares, we had total control by that stage. Always felt we would keep the lead.

I'll never forget the scenes at the final whistle. The place went mental, on the pitch, grown men cryin, and a nice big shiny trophy to go behind the bar in St. Colmans (if it doesnt get lost or ruined on the long journey down!). :D

The players did a great job tonight, Athlone is never an easy place to win. But for me tonight was about 3 things:

1. Hendo - a pure legend and surely one of the best managers in the country.
2 The crowd - there must of been at least 1500 of us, the noice never stopped and the bongo lads were great
3. The unsung heroes - all the people who have given their heart and soul to keep the club goin, not just now but through the hard times too.

When the dust settles and the drink runs out, lets remeber that we've all got a big job to do, supporting this club and making noise like we did tonight in places like Bohs, Pats, Derry, Drogheda and of course Turners Cross. Tonight was just the beginning...

Enjoy lads ;)

Thanks Ray, ye saved me the bother. My pic is identical!!!!

Your lads looked good first half, dunno how we got away with 0-0 at half time. Best of luck next year, if ye can keep yer top players ye should be there or thereabouts!

[cheifo]

Congratulations.

[GavinZac]

Delighted for alan and looking forward to seeing him back at the cross sooner rather than later - in whatever capacity :D

[paudie]

Saw Ramblers losing to Limerick at the Cross in the first game of the season and hard to believe ye went on to win the league!

Unbelievable to win the Monaghan and Athlone games under fierce pressure.

Congrats!!!

[nismo]

thanks for all the comments lads and congratulations to all involved in the club ye deserved it..and thanks 2 athlone for last week!

[sniffa]

Well done lads, although it hurts me so.
Really, really gonna miss our trips to Cobh and the Commodore next season.
Trips to Longford just dont excite me.
Enjoy yourselves with the " big boys", over a season you deserve it.

[Philly]

Well done Cobh. Played some great stuff against Kildare County this season. Best wishes for next season.

[Covey Wovey]

Well done to the Rams and the fantastic support in Athlone - roll on next season.
A bit of the atmosphere from the Athlone match on YouTube here (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=o7PefrKMaWc).

[Lionel Ritchie]

...and best of luck next season. Ye're swinging digs with the big boys now (only metaphorically of course). Enjoy it.:cool:

I staggered down the road with depor and I must say it was a great night absolutely brilliant. What a game, What a party, What a team! Well Done to all involved. I was hugging people on the pitch last night that i never met in my life. Great Times. Now its just 4 o'clock to deal with.:D

[Marco]

Fcuk lads what a night!!!! The nerves well wrecked, Rams supporters were class. Athlone sure put it up to us thought Lavine caused us loads of trouble. Well done everyone that travelled.

[Cici900]

Same here. That was the best night of my life. And i didnt split my stitches;)

[RamsieOnTour]

Finally the Rot of the First Division is over and the Happy days are all infront of us. :D

Cant believe were up lads we have been waiting for so long

Next up Derry followed by Cork Bohs Pats.... How about it.

Anyway great to see such a crowd travel to Athlone hope we will all be back next session

Weldone Ramblers Proud of Ye...

[Cici900]

Well done to hendo and the lads this is great

[jebus]

Anyway great to see such a crowd travel to Athlone hope we will all be back next session

Would someone tell the lad that ye got promoted and so won't be back in Athlone next year :p

Unless the FAI decide Athlone's toliets are nicer than Harps of course

[rambler14]

The Golden Days are Back... thank christ

[Cici900]

I think i was the person who told you there was 6 min left in match not sure but if it was you you were wrecked with stress. Could have been rebel ram

[RamsieOnTour]

Agh now Jebus No need ta be jelous. Just cause ye still stuck in the Rot sure best of luck against Kilkenny next Year.

Up the Rams

Champions 2007.....

[chimpster]

how u home from the match so quick?

Had the laptop in the car. Did the first couple of hours back then moved to the passenger seat and started typing. Thanks to rural broadband schemes, you can pick up a WiFi connection in lots of villages. Sent the msg post from somewhere in Tipp. Easy!

[RamsieOnTour]

Finally Cobh have got back into the big time...

Cant believe it has happened and we all look forward to playing the big guns next season.

Watch out Cork City...:D

[jebus]

And my goodwill towards the club flies out the window with what seems to be the 50th Cobh thread about the same subject

[luka]

I can see all these threads being merged into one very soon............. and then its going to make difficult reading

I'd take that as insult if it weren't coming from the biggest creton on Foot, and one from Ireland's 7th City at that

[micls]

Congrats lads!

Hopefully ye can do the business now next season and stay up....despite the 9 points we'll take off ye ;)

[higgins]

From a Shels fan...

Well Done!

See you up there in 2029 :)

[don ramo]

well done to all the lads superb stuff last night, ate road comin back, awaiting 20 penalty points in the door in the coming weeks:D, was in ramblers till 6 or 7 with depor, ramlers 14 and bella, what a night the drink just flowed all night long, got a sup from the cup and all, tasted nice, i cant wait to play in the prem and to go up as champions is just, i cant even explain it, i just f***in love it, great work by all at the club from the groundsman to the chairman, superb stuff, notin more than we deserved, funny thing is as i was sayin last night this was the first season in a few years were i wasnt expecting to even get near play-off and then the lads do this,

thank again lads ye deserve it, now setanta football lets show derry how to play football:ball::ball:

[ramblers]

Does anyone know if 77 points is a record for the 1st Division?

It is the highest I think in the last 10 years but am wondering about before that.

[atfconline]

It is the highest ever points total for the First Division. Finn Harps managed 76 in 2004. However, that was played over 33 games, rather than 36 this season.

how bad another record for us, we beat our old record of 58 points in a season alright, nice to have that to,

[Sunny Jim]

Congrats Cobh and best wishes for next year.

I just hope Longford will be as generous to us as you were!

[rambler14]

Lets hope the players recover in time for Monday:D:D:D
