Taping it
That gets pride of place in my video collection going to watch rovers relegated over and over and over and over and over. I'll probably never leave the house again (except on friday nights of course):D :D :D
(How Bitter And Twisted Am I ? ............Very!)
Excellent news.
Well spotted by Setanta - this could be a cracking game.
Come on Rovers !!
****, sorry we didn';t get into the play offs now. Turn out to be right little money spinners. Those evil geniuses (or is it ig geniui) in the 400 club...
Except we're away for the second leg so it's sod all use to us financially. Good crowd last night though.Quote:

Great news - the play-offs are usually great entertainment. Think Harps v. Derry, UCD v. Athlone, Drogheda v. Galway, etc. Couldn't make the game on Tuesday though, so going to be at Tolka on Friday so it's not much use to me.
Setanta love Tolka park for some strange reason - its as if they can't find the other eL grounds (i know they been to Inchicore & Phibsboro a few times).
Maybe they confused & think Shel$ playing on friday?
Unless it's another game like last night, in which case it would be the last thing we want those sitting on the fence to see.:(Quote:

Thank God the game is on in Tolka, live football from Whitehall would not a good advertisement for the league make :eek:
Can't be as bad as last night (though I thought the same after the Waterford game).Quote:

AFAIK Pineapple Stu is correct, home team gets the cash. Incidentally does anyone know if a play-off has ever been shown live before?Quote:

bottom-feeding? sums the gypos up really.
Who thinks that the play-offs will be like watching Arsenal-Chelsea??? :confused: If you want to watch one-touch football, intelligent use of the ball, end-to-end play, and 30-yard screamers, then steer well clear of Setanta on Friday night, seriously.Quote:

Gotcha! :DQuote:

Relegation via tv makes it worse...at least only ~1,800 (?) people saw that performance last night...
You mean you were having doubts about going?:confused: :p.Quote:

F*CK the begrudgers!!:p Karma is an awful bi*ch.
City 'Till I Die!
You'll fit in well then. It's a very sociable division. You sit around chatting to the few who turn up, discussing the good players you used to have and checking your watch to see how long before you get back to the pub. The weather's colder in the First Division too.Quote:
