Sorry to see Bray go down,they stuck to the rules all season even trimmed their squad UNLIKE SOME TEAMS when they were in danger of going over 65%.If this was a properly run league Bray would survive because Cork would be down aswell as Derry,FACT.

Agree it should have been a free but what the buck was O'Connor thinking? Should have put it as far up the pitch as he could first day.Quote:

Fecking defensive mistakes costing us again. The second goals shouldn't have counted after the studs to Skippy's nads, but he should have just lamped it upfield as soon as he got it.
I can't bring myself to hope another football club goes bust, but I do hope that the FAI enforce their standards on any clubs that may have broken the rules.
i think its ashame to have another club in the prem who cant string 100 fans together.
makes a joke of the whole league.
I have almost lost total intrest in this league now (apart from Harps) with the new Dublin City in the Premier Divison it is turning out to be a joke was it the FAI's plan to make it a regional league because that is the way it is heading. I know there are plenty more who are losing intrest also.
We'll be back...
Hopefully not too soon.:pQuote:

you could say the same of fingal?Quote:

They did have a decent enough crowd tonight, as much as most other Premier sides (apart from Bohs, Pats, Rovers and Dundalk) brought to the Carlisle this year.
They might not have great crowds by Premier standards but they had the sceond-best average in the First this year, better than established clubs like Harps, Limerick, Athlone and Waterford.
Please, don't over-exaggerate about how "poor" their crowds are. It's very boring at this stage.
Sorry to see Bray go down. Hopefully they can bounce back.
I dont fancy traveling to Morton next season.
More atmosphere at local junior football games.
A horrible day for Irish football
Its the same old story, once a team i doing well, the fans will come out...FACT! If they started off well and pettered away in the seond half of next season you will see they will have above average crowd for the first half but a drop in the second half, happens with every club, apart from Rovers who are a bunch of Aliens(crowds actually got higher and higher)!!:D
Comiserations to Bray, sorry to see ye go.
Well done Fingal. People may slate them for their crowds and lack of atmosphere at matches, but they certainly play good football
Oh Good Lord!!! How on earth did you come to that conclusion?Quote:

It is the usual whinefest of Shels anyway. Ye have had the opportunities to get out of this festering ****hole that is the first and by god it is that. Fingal have gotten promoted and fair play to them. Their ability to sustain the wages will be interesting assuming they do not get a jump in attendance and the Sugar daddies run into financial disaster but until that time they have gone and done what is needed.
time will tell if they suffer the same fate as Shels, Derry, Longford to a degree et al.
Nice deleting of your previous post :rolleyes: Granted i'm a Shels fan and i'm moaning, so what about all the fans of other clubs who think Franchise going up is disgusting?
Spot on. There is simply no place in the league for them, a waste of everyone`s time.Quote:

Man, I'm gutted...watching your team get relegated twice in under three weeks is hard to take...I went through the misery of it all up in the Brandywell, and now again in front of my laptop...
Cheers to TG4 for showing the two play-off games anyway...
Just back from the game, was a brilliant 2nd half and felt so sorry for Bray. Fingal has a nice support with them! Anyways I hope they come back up. Love going down to Bray with loads of drink and getting slightly drunk on Bray head before the game :D

I'd like to congratulate the Sporting fans, but, like, are there any to congratulate? Feel sorry for Bray, but when you consider what was at stake, the attandance was disgraceful. I know United haven't exactly rocked the world with crowd figures this year, but that was shocking poor from the Bray public
Fingal didn't win the game tonight though.Quote:

Fingal won't be much addition to the Premier division.
Please dear god please let this be true.Quote:

Another team fighting up near the top would be considered an addition to any league in my eyes whether people like it or not. Thank god they are out of the first division though. No one down here could compete with their full time setup and wages.Quote:

Looking at the two games we played it was obvious that the difference between us and yous was, we could finish the chances that came our way.
Fair play to the crowd that did turn up and the banner at the end for Bray was a nice touch.
And may I just finish with:D:D:D. nuff said
note to rovers : get at paisley and maher!
I'd say 50% of those are desperate Sligo fans who got them via Athlete Foot's joke of an allocation.Quote:
