[Red&White Rover]

Highlight of the Season: Beating Bohs 2-1 was bliss, completely exceeding pre season hopes, along with the appointment of Paul Cook. Overall, probably Cook being appointed...

Lowlight of the Season: Losing to Waterford in the Cup, players thinking the season ended in September, and getting hammered again in The Brandywell.

Best Matches;
1.Bohs 2-1 (H)
2.Cork 4-1 (H)
3.Waterford 2-1 (League) (A) (Rory H, DonalE, Red4Eva and Sean South:Quality)

Best Opposing Fans: Derry

Best Goal: JudgesVs. Cork was unbelievable...

Player of The Season: Faz, what a turnaround. Well done, that man.

Underperformer:Manson, didnt impress. Raf found his first season in the PD, difficult i thought, but i think to say he underperformed is a wee bit harsh. Oh, and Choice.:D

Unsung Hero:Peersy. Rock at the back.

Best Ground Visited:Terryland is impressive.

Comedy Moment:Feo vs. Gareth Farelly.:D

Views on the Manager:Legend already in just over half a year. Enough said. Hope he stays.

Hopes for next year:Consolidation, and a cup please...

[SligoBrewer]

Highlight of the Season:Beating Bohs in the last minute with a penalty. Roy of the F**king Rovers.

Best Matches;
1.Bohs 2-1 Home
2.Cork 4-1 Home
3.Longford 1-0 Away
Best Opposing Fans:Galway

Best Goal:Any of Judgie's Skillful efforts, 2 v Cork, 1 v UCD, and the goal at shams in the cup..
Faz's free in Longford was brilliant as well.

Best Save: Dick's Blanket Save against Mooney in Longford, I would have put my house on Mooney to score

Player of The Season: Faz

Underperformer: Choice, Voltan, Manson. The bloody man has talent there but.. grr

Unsung Hero:Peers. What a player

Best Ground Visited:I liked dalymount

Comedy Moment: The Dick Brush flag, whoever made that deserves a medal;)

Views on the Manager: Honest bloke, knows his football.

Hopes for next year: Europe. I dont care how. New Shed built

Chant of the Year: We've got the Best Midfield in the World.

Young Player of the Year: Seamie Coleman.

Player who you want playing for us next year: Dave Mooney

Management Commitee /10? 3/10, no shed, no money, falling attendances, the place is a kip, no season tickets on sale yet, no online shop,
season tickets for u-12's are not free etc etc.

I added some there RW.

[Rovers fan]

Highlight of the Season: beating bohs at home with last minute peno, finishing in 6th position
Lowlight of the Season: losing to waterford in the cup, the manner in which the season fizzled out
Best Matches;
1.bohs(2-1)
2.shams away in the cup
3.cork(4-1)/shams at home in the league
Best Opposing Fans:derry
Best Goal:judges second goal against cork
Player of The Season:Faz
Underperformer:jamie mckenzie/raf not premier division standard imo
Unsung Hero:gavin peers
Best Ground Visited:terryland
Comedy Moment:The look of bemusement on the face of the steward as me and redtildead walked across the track in waterford/ the general banter on the bus to away games
Views on the Manager: Cookie has done an excellent job, he came in to a club hoping to avoid relegation(it seemed that way after the mcdonald fiasco) and turned us into a club who looked at one stage like they could qualify for europe. I don't really blame him for the poor form towards the end of the season, we were a tired squad. Cooke is an honest man who really has passion for the club. If we fail to hold onto him for next season we're not heading in the right direction
Hopes for next year:Hold onto cookie and to provide with a bit of cash to buy some players. Hopefully the pitch can be improved. Top6 finish and a good cup run.

[Red&White Rover]

I'd like to add Leo Tierney and Dessie Cawley to my unsung heroes list. They helped us immensely after the Farmer fiasco.
