I know mate, only winding you up. It has been a real ding-dong battle and even though it is a cnut of journey, I really hope both of us go up.Quote:

Ya think it will be unbelievably unfair if either of us is in first div next year.
Have to hold my hands up and say Cobh have been quite incredible.Solid in defence and the ability to score regularly from different players.Harps have had to respond by digging deep and our manager has so far achieved that(thank God).If Cobh go up,which I think they will(via the play offs off course;)) they will suprise a few Premier teams next year.
Maybe cheifo- but if Cobh's wagebill is as low as they say you may see their team being decimated over the close season as offers come in to their players offering better terms. I agree that they look like a good shot for promotion, and that may be what they need to keep their squad together. On the other hand I guess that depends on the ability of the players to move to other parts of the country and how many Waterford and Cork would be interested in signing.
Tonight's game proved exactly why First Division games should not be on TV;)
Are you serious? Gripping until the end. Fair play to Athlone for giving everything with nothing for them at stake.Quote:

You are talking crap. Finn Harps' probably drew the bigest crowd of the weekend and I'm guessing there were more there than in Drogheda for the presentation of the League trophy.Quote:

I'm aware there was a good crowd there, I did say that if you look but the atmosphere was just not there, apart from Harps fans booing the team at half time:eek:.Quote:

What a result, I was hoping the camera would cause a few nerves and it did.
This title race is far from over though! Can't see us loosing on Sunday but what a last night it's gonna be.
It has to go down to the last night now...........Hopefully with Rams on top.
24years I've been going to Rams, mainly standing in freezing winter winds watching header tennis in the middle of the park, now I know it was all worth while..............This is the time I've been waiting for......
No matter what happens in the next few weeks I hope that both Rams and Harps go up, they both deserve it after such great runs............:D

Parkhouse was lucky not to go.

Our lads wait till the cameras come to give their worst performance this season.It was most def the ref that was been booed at h/t but tbh we played so badly that a draw was the most we deserved.Feels awful.The players will have to pick themselves up.:(

i think that the camera did play a part, hegarty looked very nervous during the pre match interview and he kept on a bout that its not the end of the world if they lose, and generally not talking about them winning the game.
For obvious reasons the game was gripping to me and tbh I've seen worse games on telly this year, one thing though, the atmosphere did seem subdued which I found very odd,, do any harps fans think that the big crowd showed up just waiting for thing to happen?
Part of the problem is the main crowd that chants have moved out of the shed and behind the goal. In the shed if only ten chanted it sounded like a hundred but on the open terrace the acuostics are lost:(
We clapped the players off and when most of them were off the field we had a go at the ref, not the players.Quote:
