God damned excruciating neverending agony for 90 minutes with a sh!te performance, but I cannot express how little I care :D
I also lost my umbrella, loose change and possibly my iPod smacked off the ground celebrating the second goal...they're probably some or all somewhere on the hill behind the road goal..so what...
Jesus you'll need to get another for November 14th. You can't be rioting at the Aviva without your umbrella. I've got seven.Quote:

Really the Bray stewards were very slack in their Umbrella screening outside the ground. I walked straight in unchallenged with my umbrella. It's a recipe for disaster..
I'm expecting the umbrella security to be a lot tighter at the Aviva. I'm thinking about hiding a couple of smaller brollies in my socks, just in case.
Risky stuff that, but it might just work...and you get to keep the element of surprise without having to charge umbrella-in-hand.
CHAMPIONS.

PS Going back to winter football is a losers charter. No one wants to watch your crappy clubs summer or winter. Follow the Rovers way...
Fair play and congrats to rovers.
Was any reason given why Twig got RTE motm tonight???
Sub-editing gone mad at UEFA. Can't believe Aidan Fitzmaurice would ever refer to us as "Shamrock"

I'm not sure there was much logic involved. They needed to give it to a Rovers player for the day that was in it and Twigg was the only one who excelled himself. Any other of the 35 weeks and it would have been a Bray player.Quote:

Congrats to Rovers and hard luck to Bohs
In fairness, us nicking something off Fingal in the dying minutes has a whiff of restoring universal karma about it. :yin-yang:
Now, speaking of Cup finals and dubious penalties, if we can only sort out that grudge I've been nursing since 1978...
That's hilarious, you didn't beat the Champions once, and we couldn't beat an egg in the final two months and first month of the season, yet at no stage were Sligo in the title race. Maybe next year Sligo will challenge, but beating UCD and Drogheda in style doesn't mean Sligo deserved anything other than 3rd in the league this year.Quote:

But we didnt and so that is that. Either way im delighted the season we had.
BTW we did beat you this season, remember the small matter of the LC Semi Final?
I do feel sorry for Pete Mahon, I like the guy alot. He's done pretty well with that Pat's team this year.
I was suprised with Buttimer last night. Apart from getting in the way a few times he had a decent game and played a good advantage for us which led to one of our goals.
Small matter is right when talking about the EA Sports Cup, but I was talking about the league, where you couldn't beat us at all, including when we were terrible at the start of the season, end of season and during your apparently great form that would have seen you walk the league.Quote:

Yes that is true, after all how could Shams fans keep track of another cup (small matter that it is) because there have been such an abundance of honours at Shams over the past decade.Quote:

Ohh you mean during the first half of the season where yee were "terrible", as in where yee were still well ahead of us in the league.Quote:

And in our good phase ya we should have bet yee in Tallaght, but we didnt as is football.
Dont really so the point our trying to make tbh.
Jaysis i'm still a bit drunk from last night.
