damn...

[hyundaidriver]

It could have been there for the taking if we had more depth available and a bit of luck... but the better team on the day won.

Still - enjoyed the day out - could be the last big one for a while :(

Where to from here, I wonder?

[atfconline]

Where to from here, I wonder?

Limerick, Monaghan, an open field down in Wexford.......

[Pauro 76]

That linesman wants shooting. Such a shame our season had to end like this. Well done to the singing section though, a great atmosphere. And to that little pr!ck who hurled plastic bottles on to the pitch from the singing section, shame on you.

[ramsfan]

yeh an open field in wexford that has awind blowing across it that would make mick wallaces hair stand on end. the coldest ground in ireland:)

[Maz]

What a morning, what a day, what a night, just in and school in the morning. Well done to the lads and to Alan Matthews, spoke to him and he was more than grateful for all the support.....heres to gettin back up to where we belong!

Just caught the 2nd half of the game on telly, but why was Mooney taking corners
near the end? I'd have thought he should have been in around the box trying to
nick a goal?

[sligoman]

Unlucky lads. Ye started better and probably shaded 1st half. Mostly Cork in the 2nd half though. Surprised at Cork though, they usually play it on the ground and pass it about, mostly hoofing it yesterday.

Highlight for me was getting to meet/shake hands and get pic taken with Ian Wexler's father, what a guy:D.

[RonnieB]

Damn indeed. Dying of a headcold as well!

Fair play to the six sligo lads showing their support. Id say you will hang that picture in a proud place to admire Sligoman :D

[Pauro 76]

That was a rare bright spot of the day for me, the Wexler tribute. Fair play Sligo lads! saw a few of the UCD boys there too... good to see the usual people again. Randomly saw the highlights of the game on Sky Sports 1 this afternoon in a shop window over here! the atmosphere came across very well and credit to us and the cork lads too..

[Sonic]

We were all over them first half in my opinion. But alas didnt take our chances and I said it at the time to one of the lads that we WILL lose once Baker went off. Shame because I thought it was there for us:(

Schumi and I were there, but quickly decided that blagging our way into the roofed section was preferable to getting rained on.

Longford did well, but Cork were always going to score with a ball over the top or an angled pass - their forwards were too quick.

Kudos to Pat Sullivan, one of my favourite UCD judi/alumni, for giving me something to cheer about with those heavy tackles, even if they cost him in the end.

was watchin the highlights earlier on.. it was funny when wexler came on and you hear all the chantin fo wexler but it didnt come from us!:)

seen ye lads at the start of the game marking yer tshirts!!!:cool:

[feo123]

pitty ye couldnt take one of those chances in the first 20 minutes or so, ye were well on top, but couldnt really get a foot-hold in the game after that, cork passed ye to death in the 2nd!
i thought if longford used the left wing more often in the last 35 minutes they would have won 2 or 3 one. Wexler was immense when introduced, should have been starting, and made captain also.
