Congrats to all involved at Sligo Rovers. Knocking on the door a few years and they have now reached the promised land. Well deserved over the season and style of football that is a credit to the League
Congrats also to Pats on their contribution to an excellent match on Saturday, all in all a great advertisement for LOI
:cool:
bah humbug
Well done, Sligo! Hope Champions' League outing goes well next season.
I was just wondering how many games does a player have to play to earn a League winners medal? Would players who joined in the summer like Conneely or Buchanan played enough games. Does the sub keepers (Brush and Kelly - actually why so many sub keepers, we don't even bother with one at Dundalk :P ) receive a winners medal?
Also do you receive a medal if you left the club during the summer, for example Boco.
Kevin Doyle got one when we won the league in 2005 anyway.
Club gets x amount of medals, it's up to them what they do with them.
I got 2. :cool:
Typical nouveau riche Limerick, flash buggers :cool:Quote:

It was one of those that I would have been livid if we didn't get it, but probably fairly annoyed if it was given against us. :p But it was at the very least justifiable. Doesn't matter how close he was to Peers - he jumped across with the aim of blocking the ball, and did so with his hand, which was outstretched.
Fair play to Pats - only team that really pushed us every time we played them. The main thing for us now is to consolidate. We're off to a good start, with a fair chunk of that squad already signed for next season - after the cup final last year everyone was out of contract. But anyway I think I'll worry about next year later.
Deserved winners, the best team all season. Well done and enjoy your one season of glory :)

Yep, that was unfair on Cork and Bray - put it down to euphoria and a bit too much celebrating. :DQuote:

Congrats Sligo, I really enjoyed the game at the weekend, fantastic game of football and if barstoolers watched it they would have seen 2 quality passing sides in front of a good crowd playing football on the deck.
Great record only 1 defeat so far this season.
I'd like it to end that way but don't think it will given the celebrations. Oh well.Quote:
