This must be one of those rare times the British press is all over the league. Jesus, it must be one of those rare times the Irish press is all over the league!

Yeah, Rovers would have won 2-0 tonight with him.

Eejit. St Johnstone have padded seats for their subs so I suppose there are pluses.

Some mischievous bugger at RT� there juxtaposing the photo of celebrating Rovers players with an image of a Libyan rebel in Bohs colours.

I like Dara, but he's forever spouting on about his Arsenal.

**hoopy** · 25/08/2011, 10:11 PM

When I think back(not that long ago) going to meetings to keep the club alive, then looking at where we are now. Don't really know what to say to be honest. A tinge of sadness thinking of those fans who have passed on this year and last who didn't get the opportunity to witness this. The one certainty is that no matter how people try to spin it regarding finances, the club won't be held to ransom by managers or players regarding wages. That will always stand, just like the budget.

**harpstilidie** · 25/08/2011, 10:13 PM

Unbelievable!! Well done Rovers! History has been made!

Really hope Sullivan's goal can get onto SSN, class

Let's hope this is the first of many times our clubs qualify for group stages in Europe.

The best current and best ever St Pat's players - more wins like tonight and we can keep quality like that in the league longer.

They had a chance going there but I didn't for one minute think that they would do it. Well done Rovers and I hope their fans enjoy every last minute of European Football. Hopefully this is the first of many.
