I'll start this off a tad early :)
Windy conditions, but at least it's dry.
Quite a few empty seats visible - so much for the mammoth demand.
Does anyone else think that Boco looks a bit like Anelka ?
And Damien Rico needs to grasp that Fingal County is an administrative region, and NOT a football team.....! :eek:
Here's hoping for a good game, despite the wind.
its like watching paint dry.
what a balls of a game
Okay standard, and who knew that the creator of Sherlock Holmes would get mentions from both commentators? Am I alone in questioning Rico's supposed "intellect"? He just strikes me as a bit of a Eubank.
Nice move from fingal there...scrappy game alright.
Rico's referring to them as "Fingal County" is pretty funny too....
Started off pretty scrappy alright with not much happening. Has picked up a good bit in the last 15mins of the first half though. The wind is incredible.
Looks freezing!
Rico has verbal diaorrhea (sp?).Quote:

One and the same according to a certain D9 club's fans!.Quote:

It seems Conan Byrne is now Conan Doyle according to Rico
I thought Fingal County were the better team to be honest.
Goal 1 nil Sligo
Goal was a bit scrappy but Sligo deserved it I think.
Fingals defence is awful in the second half!

Nice to see a real team with fans just score there now.
8105 at it!
Almost 700 unsold tickets.Quote:

Surprised at the lack of any card there for the Sligo keeper on the penalty decision.
I suppose it's a Cup Final and we want to try to keep everyone on the pitch if we can help it
Sligo's keeper has lost the plot the last few minutes!
In fairness it looks like A LOT if not all of those empty seats are on the Fingal side. Huge amount of free seats in the stand and behind the goal where the Fingal fans are.Quote:

Well done Fingal, good side.
sh1te.
OMG...FIngal are in bloody Europe next season!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to Sporting Fingal - shows you have to play all the way to the final whistle.
Europe will be interesting next year
well done Sporting Fingal (not Fingal county rico!)
Congrats to Sporting.
Sligo really only have themselves to blame for throwing that away. Their goalkeeper just lost the plot completely in the last ten minutes.
I know this won't be overly popular, but we need to remember that most clubs on the continent are financed by cities or councils. Unfortunately we've followed our former colonial masters concept of butcher, baker and arms dealer funding clubs. I'd love to see more county/town councils back local sides, but maybe not in the same way as Fingal.
They also start in the 2nd qualifying round.Quote:

Don't think it was a penalty, but Fingal well deserved win...
They'll be dancing on the streets of Fingal County Council tonight
Devestating for Sligo.
Really don't like Fingal but if this gives them a bit of momentum and a regular fanbase then I suppose we'll manage with them in the PD.
"travesty of justice" me hole.
Fingal kept going to the end and fair play to them. Well done!
A crazy finale to a crazy season.
Let's hope we never see the likes of 2009 again....... :eek:
Would have to feel for Sligo after that - Very good game in poor conditions. Feel sorry for Alan Keane
I really don't understand the animosity, sometimes bordering on hatred, for new clubs in this league.
True. Hopefully the promotional efforts Sporting Fingal County have been doing over the last 2 years, and particularly in the last few weeks, will start to see bodies coming through the turnstiles.Quote:
