Quality is a bit dodge but better than nothing.

FAI thing reminds me of Blackpool refusing to pay 15.50 apiece for post-match lasagnas at Chelsea last week. You'd think the FAI would just subtract the costs from the prize money but you just know they'll always find a way to make themselves look stupid.

This is what I was thinking too. You factor in all the costs, then subtract them from the prize money, and the new amount is what is broadcast as the prize money. I wouldn't be surprised if the clubs pay for their medals every year, just it was managed better than this year.

Sligwegians win 1-0.

From what I saw on the webstream, they were well worth it, but well done to Monaghan for getting to the final while also topping the first division.

**Dunny** · 25/09/2010, 6:22 PM

Chin up Magicme et al, Promotion should be number 1 target.

**athloneman** · 25/09/2010, 6:23 PM

congrats sligo, they deserve it for what they are doing up there, hard luck mons, still a great achievement in getting to the final!! and for the first time in a few years the final was a decent game and not totally one sided!!

That Monaghan goalkeeper is fantastic. Does he have an Irish granny?

**sean r** · 25/09/2010, 7:03 PM

Yeah you're spot on, Wouldn't mind seeing the league cup scrapped for an All-Ireland knock out competitions, 1 less meaningless competition to play in

**Oldred** · 25/09/2010, 10:49 PM

As a Sligoman I very proud of my Club this evening. But I have to say how proud of Irish football I am when Monaghan came down and played REAL football. Mick Cooke should be really proud of his team and himself after tonight. The Mons will hold their own next season in the top flight without doubt and I look forward to them coming the Showgies again as !st Div. Champions. Tonight was a good night for Irish football with no overpaid prima donnas involved.

Of course it's meaningless when Shams do'nt win it!

**passerrby** · 26/09/2010, 2:37 AM

wel said that man great night for football sorry have to stop typing ****ed as a fai official at a feebee

**Magicme** · 26/09/2010, 5:52 AM

After years of watching us play the worst football known to mankind to see our lads out there in the League Cup Final was my proudest mons moment. To a man, they gave their all. My heart is broken that it wasnt enough but I now know that someday it will be. They are the best team we have ever had. Sligo fans, congrats. A tear came to my eye when your fans outside Mooneys applauded our bus leaving and we have utmost respect for you all.

I have just left the clubhouse after celebrating like we won. Sava is in my bed while I sleep on the sofa such is the nite we just had. Our lads believe, we believe and nothing is gonna change how proud we are to have these boys pull on our shirt each week.

C'mon the Mons. :-)

Anyway, fair play United. Look forward to having you in the Showgies next season.

Ha ha was joking. No.:-)

Hope we are there.

Monaghan were a credit to themselves on and off the pitch I must say. After seeing that I hope even more that they win Division 1

As for the game itself it would have been nice if we could have gotten a second goal to ease the nerves but Rovers never do things easy. Very easy game on the eye. There was hardly a bad tackle in the whole game.

Was ready to swing for that fella on the P.A. when he was asking people to stay off the pitch and going on about the trophy presentation when there was still 3 minutes of added time to play
