Longford were very unlucky after there 2nd half preformance tonight, they had several chances to score but for our keeper and bad finishing they desered at least extra time if not the win...
I for one aint complaining though, delighted to be in the semis and with how the other results went we have a great chance of winning it i think.
Well done to Sligo, whatever the details. If we can't win it, I'd prefer youse to almost anyone else. And if it's a final against Wicklow, I suspect a lot of us will be along to lend our support.
Fingal 2-1.
Kirby Peno
Oh yessssss......:D
Fair played to Sligo, I honestly didn't think they could do it but it's great to see the under-dog win.
I would also like to congratulate Waterford, they are having a fabulous season and Henderson is once again proving to be one of the top managers around. The win also shows that the 1st division is not quite as bad as people like to make out. Longford holding Bray only to go out by 1 goal of difference in the replay and Fingal holding Rovers to a draw twice over 90 minutes and then Waterford beating Pats.
Saying that, I loath the 1st division from a "discover Ireland" point of view.

All over. Rovers, Bohs, Longford and Pat's out
Arrr, what a load. A cup semi-final and a cup final means money and money that you badly need... What is there to understand in that??Quote:

Your man doing the Rovers commentary didn't take long getting off the air anyway!! :D

The only way it wont affect ye, is if your budgeted income was as high as expected, and expenditure is as low.Quote:

Not really. And we already were in Europe this season thank you very much.Quote:

Just hope it ain't Fingal.
Hmm, well thats the '6 steps to europe out the window'.
Bad night for us, Euopr and Setanta both probably gone.
I know but you have a weaker side this year. It would be more of an achievement this time around.Quote:

i edited that post fairly sharpish so im pretty sure you typed that last bit in yourself. Either way, could you remove it from your post please?Quote:

Sligo are now going to have to cope with being favourites.:eek:
Nope, the sanctions are for real figures afaik, not the budget.Quote:

:D That's hilarious, did you not know? I am part of the referee assosiation that is plotting against You, Bohs, Derry, Dundalk, Sean Connor and Roddy Collins. We mean business, next in our list is to go to peoples homes and tickle their feet with feathers, pure evil im sure you will agree, You.Quote:
