Awful nervous for this, probably the most nervous I've been all season. Not excitement, nervousness :o
Really think we can do it. The thoughts of the playoffs scare me. Hopefully there ll be a good crowd.

They have a Chambers out for them while we have Meenan suspended.
Chambers is their top scorer I think
Don't buy the Drogheda won't be trying line we need to sort this out early then take a few players off if we have a good lead , we lost to a bunch of Albanians who were supposedly trying to throw the match.Quote:

correct . well read. but we must go into game tomorrow night to win.
Perfect scenario for tomorrow night Rovers win! Pats beat Shams.Galway beaten by Cork!
Nah, I'd love Shams to beat Pats. Otherwise I'd be out of my wits tomorrow night in Syringicore.Quote:

Cannot wait for it believe we are going to have a very big gate with huge crowd coming for cup final ticketsQuote:

About 3000 or so were there, easily our best home league attendance of the season. We really rode our luck in the second half but atleast we can go to Tallaght knowing we will stay another year in the premier league now :).Quote:

3 spots for Europe this year with the cup winners being outside the top 4 actually.Quote:

Gotta say well done to Cook all in all this season. I was critical of him for his team selection against Bohs but he made the right call I must admit now. Was touch and go for a minute there tonight it must be said and he was taking a bit of stick at that point from a few bell ends. Thats why he's the manager though and I'm here typing sh1te on foot.ie.:p
Whether we win the cup now or not he has performed pretty well. We looked doomed around July. After the way Dundalk turned us over 4-3 at the showgrounds I honestly thought we would never avoid the playoffs.
Blinkhorn was a savage signing. Allowed us to play a more direct game and in this league it can be hard to win playing pretty football. Things started to come together for us after he arrived and we haven't looked back since really. Of course Peers returning to fitness was massive too.
Roll on the cup final. We can really enjoy it now without the spectre of division one football hanging over us. Apologies to KevinL for having a whine yesterday on the tickets issue. Still think the whole thing was badly handled from the off from the FAI and from our end maybe things could have been done better. Got sorted tonight with an uncovered ticket and I am happy out. Hopefully everyone will who really wants and deserves one.
I agree Dong. Cook and the team did remarkably well to finish 6th. Magnificent. I cannot wait for the final now. The atmosphere will be great. If we win the promise of Europa league football will keep us financially sound to keep this great team together.
Crowd was under 2,500. 1,800 main stand and 600 more around the ground.
