This is what I was thinking too. You factor in all the costs, then subtract them from the prize money, and the new amount is what is broadcast as the prize money. I wouldn't be surprised if the clubs pay for their medals every year, just it was managed better than this year.Quote:

Chin up Magicme et al, Promotion should be number 1 target.
congrats sligo, they deserve it for what they are doing up there, hard luck mons, still a great achievement in getting to the final!! and for the first time in a few years the final was a decent game and not totally one sided!!
That Monaghan goalkeeper is fantastic. Does he have an Irish granny?
is there a euro place for the final?
Don't think so i think its a place in Setanta Cup? Could be wrong.Quote:

Tonight was a good night for Irish football with no overpaid prima donnas involved.
Just like the league.Quote:

wel said that man great night for football sorry have to stop typing ****ed as a fai official at a feebee
After years of watching us play the worst football known to mankind to see our lads out there in the League Cup Final was my proudest mons moment. To a man, they gave their all. My heart is broken that it wasnt enough but I now know that someday it will be. They are the best team we have ever had. Sligo fans, congrats. A tear came to my eye when your fans outside Mooneys applauded our bus leaving and we have utmost respect for you all.
I have just left the clubhouse after celebrating like we won. Sava is in my bed while I sleep on the sofa such is the nite we just had. Our lads believe, we believe and nothing is gonna change how proud we are to have these boys pull on our shirt each week.
C'mon the Mons. :-)
After the scandal breaks, can we have him?Quote:

As for the game itself it would have been nice if we could have gotten a second goal to ease the nerves but Rovers never do things easy. Very easy game on the eye. There was hardly a bad tackle in the whole game.
Was ready to swing for that fella on the P.A. when he was asking people to stay off the pitch and going on about the trophy presentation when there was still 3 minutes of added time to play
Congrats to Sligo. Well done.
Hard luck Monaghan but at least there are more important issues ahead, like promotion.
Is there anywhere on the internet to watch the highlights of the game??
8 mins or so hereQuote:

Sore head, but what a night, first cup since 1998 and absolutely delighted that Cook and possibly the most talented Rovers team ever have a medal for their efforts.
Congratulations Sligo Rovers and well done Monaghan Utd on a fantastic season and fantastic development and progress as a club. If only those fans would turn up at Century Homes Park every fortnight. As for the FAI and the email listing expenses. How embarrassing and how morally disgusting an organisation. The greed and the shamelessness of listing buses, dinner, dinner at the club, dinner at the hotel. That aside from the medals is what galls me. The meals, the expectation they be looked upon and looked after. I hope 6 Four Lanterns Meals were ordered in at the club and lets hope the chicken was undercooked at the hotel. Disgusting.
Football seemed to be the winner again. 2 clubs who showed one another the respect for their respective achievements. Well done both clubs.
many thanks to all in sligo who showed us a great night in the pubs and in the showgrounds a credit to you club,
cant remeber who said that winning would not be so sweet if losing was not bitter anyway our day will come hopefully at the Mons v derry game.
thanks to all and best of luck
Wow wow, hold on a sec there champ, are you actually insinuating that the 4 lights is somehow lacking in quality??Quote:

But I can't make out what their mascott is meant to be.
Is that "Monaghan Boys On Tour" flag the one that's at all the Ireland games?
yep thats right dunny! monaghan in the end brought down 350 fans down .. When I came into Mooneys before the game they were outsinging the sligo fans!!Quote:

Both sides made it a very entertaining match to watch. Sligo get the ball down and play some really good stuff, I really think they can push Pats for 3rd spot now and get back into europe. Good crowd at it also, its looks a really good set up at the showgrounds, nice ground, two good stands, and what looks like a quality pitch, so overall it a great nights work for Sligo.
Decent effort by Mons on and off the pitch it has to said.
Pity - I was looking forward to the "Farney-cation" headlines.Quote:
