The play-off

[Captain2007]

Our budget at the start of the season was smaller than most First Division clubs and it got reduced during the season.

You probably did pick up more points than us in the latter part of the season but the bottom line is that we finished a long way ahead of you over the whole season.

We were only unbeaten in 3 games before that game. We were absolutely awful that night though. Worst performance of the season. Fair enough, you destroyed us that night but the time before that we won and kept a clean sheet with a full back in goals.

Have to agree with legendz I would not be a fan of current play-off system, typically stupid decision from FAI, should have been a straight shoot-out between 9th Prem and 2nd in First Div, to think Galway could be relegated after finishing so far ahead of us must be gut-wrenching, by the way we didn't have the "messiah" when you beat us with no goalkeeper.
Hopefully it will be a good game and won by the best team on the night and I hope we get a decent following from Bray .

I'm looking forward to it but very nervous as well. I'm going to be a bag of nerves all day tomorrow.

Did anyone notice the voice of the FAI saying what a great idea play offs are on MNS?

[**FrOsTy**]

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

What's a budget? We had by FAR the smallest budget in the Premier Division and i know for a fact that some of our players we not being paid for playing with us, they were doing it for free !

If we had of been treated fairly at the start of the season the same way every other team had been things would be a whole lot different so i think saying "bottom line is that we finished a long way ahead of you over the whole season." without taking into consideration what we had to deal with at the start of the season is a bit blinkered.

The games between the 2 said have been very close this season, 2nd game of the season we should have taken a point form Terryland but for some quality saves from Ryan, 2nd game of the season you beat us and we were awful, 3rd game we should have beaten you but it ended in a draw and last game we hammered you.

It will be a very tight, tense affair tonight, and i'm ****TING myself already

I'm not sure if you could have had a far smaller budget than us to be honest (emphasis on the "far"; I know what your start-of-season position was, but our budget this year was the same as last year).

To be honest, I've long given up believing that year after year, Galway have the smallest budget in the league and yet still manage to run out of money by June.

I think he's actually from Burt in Donegal and is just based in Monaghan. Apparently he used to go to Derry games. Didn't stop him being given the Harps Derry game though.

WHAAAAAAATTTT???? are they for real? Am I dreaming this?!?

[Mr Maroon]

It's been lashing it down all day here. There was a pitch inspection at 1pm and our groundsman is confident the match will go ahead.

Our budget at the start of the season was smaller than most First Division clubs and it got reduced during the season.

So it was smaller than Athlones, Salthills, Mervues, Wexfords, Longfords, Harps and Limericks??

Do you mean smaller than most of the First Division clubs combined??
