Thanks all, I can't remember a better night in my life, which is sad, but I could not care less:)

Thanks all, I can't remember a better night in my life, which is sad, but I could not care less:)
Looking forward to a repeat of the epic 2009 encounters next season! :)
Well done Shels. Had to happen some year; reckon ye've served enough of a penance.
If Cork come up in place of Galway, and possibly Mons or Limerick depending on how things go at Bohs, next years Premier has the potential to be very strong IMO
Congratulations to Shelbourne. Enjoy the celebrations, especially the players, They deserve a good few days on the lash. Just Turn up on time saturday....
Congrats Shels. A couple of seasons' frustration must make it all the sweeter.
Well done Shels. Pleased for Alan Mathews and the lads who were with him in Longford, Jacko Smyth, Shay Kelly. Paisley too, didn't leave us in the happiest of circumstances but he's a decent guy.
Heartening to see all the good will for us.
Ecstatic so I am.
Nice to see all the positive messages on here. It hasn't sunk in for me yet but a fantastic night all the same.
Congrats to Shels, the most consistent team for the 1st 2/3 of the season. It sets Saturday's game up very nicely for yourselves. Also, it's crazy to think that at full-time, both teams may be celebrating. Although a draw is the only result that constitutes that provided Monaghan win.
Looking forward to reigniting the aul Shels rivalry. Well done.
Congrats to Shels, well deserved and about time.
Which is ok enough for me after Roddy's comments about us on extratime.ie. I'd have no real problems with a draw sending up as Champs and hopefully dumping Roddy into a playoff and allow Galway do a Bray and discover how to play football for one night against the Mons.Quote:

I think that if we win the cup that the place for Europe goes to the league standings and not to Shels.Quote:

Well done Shels and well deserved.
Well done to Shels. About time. Hopefully a couple of nights in the Riverside to come.
Rovers' best night in 2006 was sealing top spot by beating Finn Harps 4-0 in the second last game in Tolka and it's worked out ok, so history may repeat itself...
We're good like that. Always for helping the clubs. Funnily enough we got Shamrock Rovers on their way financially with a bucket collection too when they were struggling. Pity the favour doesn't get returned ;PQuote:

It's fupping brilliant and really goes to show that we are all a bit mental.
Much more than a bit, to be fair!!Quote:

It's hard to know really. I think this Saturday's game will give a decent indication.Quote:

Full house in Turners Cross then on Saturday, should be brilliant to see. If those fuppin eejits at RTE would cop on now they'd have a right game on their hands.
game is on in Tolka.Quote:

No mention in your post of the slur you made about a multi-millionaire laying off some workers to fund a LoI First Division club??Quote:

Provided you can find the time to drag yourself away from talking rubbish about Limerick. :bulgy:
The deadest of dead rubbers surely??Quote:

I think a draw will be ok with both teams going up to the Premier. Any slip by the Mons, I expect to see Limerick take full advantage but Limerick do need a lot of luck, it's out of their hands.Quote:

And you seem to have mastered the art of making them up :pQuote:

Oh-oh. I've really outed myself as an utter geek. I'll go and play in the yard on my own. :)

The bookies suggest wins for Mons and Shels are the most likely outcoems. For once I hope they are right - though I'll have my money on the Shels/Cork draw
