Just don't F*cking lose Pats :(
It seems incredible and surreal that St Pats are in a position where European football could be snatched from them tonight.
It is unlikely that both required results will happen, but I'd expect heads would roll up in Richmond Park if it did come to pass
I've a feeling bohs will beat us so that's one side of it and Galway is a tricky place but maybe the positive for pats is that Galway are already safe. So I reckon it's rovers second, us third, pats fourth. Limerick unfortunately to go down and Drogheda to play harps in the playoff finalQuote:

Look we are giving you a guard of honor after allQuote:

We hung on to second place anyway which in truth only means some extra prize money as no one likes to finish runners up.
Came dangerously close to vomiting several times in last 20 minutes. What an atmosphere the lads made for the team.
Limerick live for another chance, well deserved even after appearing to self sabotage their slim hopes of survival.
Drogheda self-destructed from what I saw tonight. Own goal, two penalties conceded, red card.
Well Limerick still in the top division (one more week anyway), and great to see their chairman celebrating on the pitch with the fans. He has done so much for soccer in Limerick and it is good to have something to celebrate for those who contribute to the game. Can't decide who I would like to win play-off as I like Harps a lot and Donegal has close connections to Galway, while Limerick is handy and nice place to get to.
I think people as too negative about Drogheda getting relegated, 3 of their away games will be in Dublin for example, and it is an 8 team league, so getting back is not impossible.
Well, it's mostly to do with their chairman flat out saying earlier this year the club couldn't survive in the First.
We may be back to back champions and have set a goal scoring record, but this is Limericks's night.
A fantastic achievement to get the play off spot.
Unfortunate for Drogheda, but they will be more at home in the first division.

The Bray players were really disrespectful in their Guard of Honour.
The lack of proper gusto in their applause was an especial slight to the Champions.
If Drogheda were at the point where 8 players could not turn up for training and get away with it, they might be in lower tier for a while.
Last 99 I buy in Bray, I tell you.Quote:

Josh maileys winner tonight is as good a goal you'll see this season. Brilliant.
