We didn't deserve the league, we absolutely threw it away, didn't win a single home game in the last series of games. Says it all. Don't rate our chances against Fingal either but maybe.Quote:

I cant see us going up now. It had to be automatic I think or it wasn't going to happen at all.
Well done to Bohs on back to back titles and hard luck to Bray on relegation.
Congrats to UCD and Bohs, they've both been outstanding all season.
What a great time to hold onto a lead ;)
I fully agree with that,best 2 teams in their divisions this year.Quote:

Pats or Sligo...Pats or Sligo..should field a reserve side next week, I think. In fact another 5-0 might be in order.
Wouldn't blame O'Neill if he did.Quote:

Just my opinion.
Doesn't matter. Wickla had to beat Galway even if you put out the under 12s.Quote:

My god that game in Tolka tonight nearly gave me a heart attack! Unbelievable stuff, definitely the most exciting game of football I've ever been at! What a result!:D
Best day for a pats fan in a long, long while
Win, and for the first time this season, win after going a goal down
Shels score 4, but still lose and are stopped gaining automatic promotion
Oh and it looks very much like Rovers won't win the league in Inchicore (while we get relegated)
Its pretty sad that this is the best footnalling day for me in months...
Congrats UCD. The league never lies. At the start of the season ourselves and shels where arguing over who had the biggest M*CKY:o. Well now we know, it was UCD:). All the best for next season. Hope yous do yourselves justice.
Bring on the playoffs. How big will that be:D
It'll be huge. For us that is. Unless you want to invite some Sligo fans on a date before the cup final?Quote:

Congratulations Bohs
Hard luck Bray
Some footage from tonight at Derry but it's all about Pizza Hutton, no game coverage sorry

Thanks again - we really enjoyed the season (natch) but really appreciate the kind things you have said about our side - hopefully we carried ourselves on and off the pitch with appropriate decorum
Have to disagree with you there, Shels and Fingal have bigger d!cks, but UCD have used theirs better this season. It's not what you've got, but how you use it, that counts ;)Quote:

Thanks to all of those offering sympathies to Bray, hopefully we'll be back and better than ever :ball:
Congratulations to UCD and Bohemians. I used to have a slight dislike of UCD, but after seeing so many clubs eff up financially I have plenty of respect and admiration for the ship they run. Good luck in the premier next year!
Brilliant night, consummate performance from us and increasingly bizarre goal updates from Tolka. At 4-2, I was starting to think that there some conspiracy going to send us bull**** updates!
I don't know if it was better or worse getting those updates behind the stand in Athlone!Quote:

Absolute disgrace game was off. Rogers inspected the pitch in the dark. The lights had gone out and the ESB where fixing the lights. Lights back on 5 mins after ref inspected pitch.Quote:

If the game was in doubt Rogers should have been in ground earlier to call off the game. There was a bus from Wexford plus others who travelled and Monaghan expecting there biggest crowd of the season with there awards on.
Do all 4 match officials have to be in attendance to call off a game as only 3 at ground?
Thanks do to the Monaghan officials and players who where very generous and let us have a couple of drinks before we had to turn around and go home
When will the game be played?
looking like Wednesday only available day have heard for sure yetQuote:

Surprised at Paul Cook's team selection, with us taking a point and Pats winning, they are really back in the mix now. Should be interesting next week, all 3 play-off possibilities (United, Sligo and Pats) are at home - anyone know if RTE is covering a game next week? Perhaps one of these with cameras at other 2 to cut over to? No, thought not
have to agreed with youth4ever a unbelievable piece of officialdom ,ref arrives walks out on to a pitch calls game off without seeing pitch as he enters his dressing room the lights come on and is asked to carry out a proper inspection and he refuses.this is at 0635 and it had stopped raining at 5 pitch was drying nicely warmups were to be done on astro pitch and no surface water visable.what an Arse, ruined a great night.
well done UCD you deserved it
Think Sligo deserve to go down now after that. Probably have enough to stay up though.
I would have thought they will be covering Bray v BohemiansQuote:

Unbefrigginglievabubble.
Almost all the Shels-Longford goals went in while our game wasn't on too; it was 2-0 at half-time, and 3-2 coming out, and then it was 4-2 when our game was over. Sheer madness at the end as everyone hung around afterwards getting (sometimes conflicting) goal reports. Couldn't believe what was happening in Tolka. With our game kicking off 15 minutes earlier than Shels', all our players were in the showers (listening to the match on speaker phone) when the title was confirmed. Anyone playing in Athlone again just be warned that several UCD players were doing belly flops on the pitch wearing only a towel/boxers. :p
About 40 UCD fans in Athlone last night; ended up with us all in the stand for mutual applause and songs between us and the players. Wish we could get that kind of crowd every away game. :(
2:30am in the Montrose will pale in comparison to next week when we get the trophy. I just hope you can drink out of it!
I think Martin Russell deserves huge praise for the way he's got the team playing; nice ball and an unbelievable team spirit; everyone playing for everyone else. The signing of Paul Corry was massive too; he turned down Burnley to join us, and we've dropped two points in the eight games he's started.
Commiserations to Shels. I know my views on Shels are well known, but I've grown a grudging respect for them over the season. I always said I never wanted to see them die, just to go back to their normal level, and now that they're more or less there, it's easier to appreciate the efforts and support of their fans. Hopefully they beat Fingal in the play-offs, and then I can enjoy a win-win play-off final. :)
Also, hopefully this spells the end of Dermot Keely's time in management in the league. Outdated, brutish tactics; the league has fortunately moved on.
Oh, and well done Bohs, and hard luck to Rovers. Amazing run by Rovers, but I think the future is theirs.

He took on a job nobody else would touch in 2007 and nearly had us promoted in 2 years. But some of his tactics this season have been unforgivable. We quite possibly had the best midfield in the division and they were being bypassed by playing hoof ball. I think its time to move on.Quote:

Putting out a half reserve team while in a relegation battle. Simple really.Quote:

Probably will, amn't confident. Hopefully we can put the recent ****ness behind us.Quote:

When people don't care about us you have to look after yourself, thats what Cook was doing last night, spot on as we were probably getting nothing of Bohs anyway and we have fresh players for the Drogs match and avoided any further suspensions for the cup final.Quote:
