Bruised emotionally and physically. That wall is a death trap. I won't be able to wear a skirt for years. So hurting in every way.

Gutted for ye, J-A. Know what it feels like.
See you next season anyway!
Hard luck Magicme and the rest the mons on here, if ye can hold onto that squad or the majority of that squad , ye should come up next year. or is the Premier going up to 16 teams the season after next?!
My sons wrist may be broken and my heart certainly is. Stick a fork in me..I'm done. We will b lucky if a handful of that squad stays.
Hard luck Mons, and especially Magicme.
Was heart-breaking listening to that penalty shoot-out.
Monaghan have been an example of a club that really do operate the right way, and it was great to see them do so well this season. Here's hoping they go one better next year, especially seeing as there are so many ex-KCFC lads playing with them.
A bit off-topic, but I think the radio host mentioned Cathal O Connor was not gonna be playing for them next season, any info there?
Hard luck Mons, ye must be gutted. For what it's worth, I reckon you'll beat Drogheda when the financial meltdown happens at *insert club here* over the winter
According to the Transfer Rumours thread he is off to Canada for the forseeable future.Quote:

It'll be on MNS in ten minutes I'd say.Quote:

Bray got real lucky but they should have finished the mons off in extra time!! Monaghan looked to be holding on for pens even before they got the goal!! Fitness played a big part in the game!! Have the mons not got a fitness coach?? The size of philly hughes and a few more players!! Makes John Lester look skinny!!!
Was thinking about that myself and based on Last year it would be Drogs as Bray got to stay in the league for this year. Personally though if it was to come down to it id prefer to see the mons up based on their performances over the year.Quote:

Congrats to Bray!
Went to high five our players who were celebrating in front of us and high fived the mud. Had to get checked over by medics after. Still in shock. Unreal that a wall so badly built can be in a premier ground. Disgraceful. I no longer work for mons or sit on their committee so I can speak my mind and the carlisle is NOT SAFE.
Somebody is abit bitter after defeat!!!!
Not funny. Disgrace what happened with the wall in the Carlisle grounds. Well done to Bray on the field though, they had a very good end to the season. Off the field though, they are a premier division club in name only, very amateurish.Quote:

She has a point. It happens once, it could be a freak incident, but a second time in as many seasons, and there's something wrong with the wall. It's not like there were thousands of Monaghan fans pushing on it. If I was on the licensing committee, I'd make it a condition of the Premier License.Quote:

Weatherman go bleep yourself. My 13 year old son got hurt. The match means little after that. My friends ribs are in bits. My legs are in bits. I don't get angry like this often but if our players had been a foot or two closer they were badly injured. Sure am gutted we didn't get promoted but this is a different issue.
There was maybe 10-15 pushing at that wall, A disgrace that it can collapse
Don't think it will be a playoff, most of both teams players are out of contract.Quote:

I've just watched it again on MNS. I hope everyone isn't too badly hurt.Quote:

That wall :bulgy:
Still can't help but feel that if Shamrock Rovers scum supporters hadn't fatally weakened it previously it wouldn't have happened.
Well, done Bray, probably deserved it based on their end to the season. Also they seem to be one of the less insanely run Premier clubs.
As for Monaghan, who would bet against them going up anyway?? It's only November, plenty of time for some clubs to die.
Incredible scenes on MNS.
From Bray's perspective, to stay up from where they were when Gormley left is just an incredible achievement, and well done to them. Let's hope with more time to prepare, they'll be a stronger premier division side next season. Think about the emotions of the lad who scored the own goal, and went on to score the winning penalty.
Monaghan? A great season for so long, and some great memories I'm sure, but to miss out like that must be.....well, words like 'gutted' just wouldn't do it justice. I've been a Limerick fan for about 20 years and have had (precious few) highs, and plenty of lows, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that - victory stolen away so late. My commiserations to all of you.
Hope nobody has suffered serious injury over the wall, though it seems some have.
Also, Monaghan fans

With no away goals it is a big advantage for the premier team having the extra time at home.... ...hope we can keep the squad together for next season...Cottsy will be hard to replace...to our team, all I can say is thank you for a fantastic season...that wall was downright dangerous, hope no-one was seriously hurt, a player could easily have broken a leg (it is very close to the pitch too,I remember Ashley White busting his head on it a few seasons ago) ...just the ramblings of a heartbroken football fan.
That was my immediate thought looking at it.Quote:

Feel desperately bad for Monaghan, a great little club. Was looking forward to Mon Dogs next year :(
Well done Bray, only hours to get a team together in March and you've done it! (just about)
Cut up pitch, pouring rain, mud, getting soaked, dodgy walls and dodgy football. Tonight is what the League of Ireland's all about!
Hey hey hey..I take offence at that. We fatally weakened another section of it. I walked past it on the way out and it was a lot more damage than last season.Quote:

Mons keeper was outstanding in appalling conditions, their football was better than the much waffled Sligo or Fingal or UCD this season on an awful pitch. Desperately desperately unlucky. How Philly Hughes' shirt looked spotless at the end I do not know...
