If anybody wishes to add anymore, just post it...
Highlight of the Season: Beating Bohs 2-1 was bliss, completely exceeding pre season hopes, along with the appointment of Paul Cook. Overall, probably Cook being appointed...

Player of The Season: Faz, what a turnaround. Well done, that man.

Comedy Moment:Feo vs. Gareth Farelly.
Views on the Manager:Legend already in just over half a year. Enough said. Hope he stays.

I added some there RW.
Highlight of the Season: beating bohs at home with last minute peno, finishing in 6th position
Lowlight of the Season: losing to waterford in the cup, the manner in which the season fizzled out

2.shams away in the cup
3.cork(4-1)/shams at home in the league
Best Opposing Fans:derry
Best Goal:judges second goal against cork
Player of The Season:Faz
Underperformer:jamie mckenzie/raf not premier division standard imo
Unsung Hero:gavin peers
Best Ground Visited:terryland
Comedy Moment:The look of bemusement on the face of the steward as me and redtildead walked across the track in waterford/ the general banter on the bus to away games
Views on the Manager: Cookie has done an excellent job, he came in to a club hoping to avoid relegation(it seemed that way after the mcdonald fiasco) and turned us into a club who looked at one stage like they could qualify for europe. I don't really blame him for the poor form towards the end of the season, we were a tired squad. Cooke is an honest man who really has passion for the club. If we fail to hold onto him for next season we're not heading in the right direction
Hopes for next year:Hold onto cookie and to provide with a bit of cash to buy some players. Hopefully the pitch can be improved. Top6 finish and a good cup run.
