    RTÉ player shut down just after the kick-off!

    Tbh, ref should've just blown it up once Rovers scored, would've saved a lot of hassle.

    Well deserved title win indeed. Hardly a shake observed out there. They could make a habit of this title winning thing.

    That's the ticket. Hadn't a hope of making it up to UCD but will definitely be writing off Friday and a large chunk of my wallet.

    I think UCD deserve great credit - they were excellent, particularly in midfield. I think they were the better side up until Sives went off, which seemed to finally wake Rovers up. Russell got it tactically wrong, I think, in not taking a few more risks with his formation despite the havoc Sheppard and McCabe were causing. McCabe was just sensational and the way Sheppard is playing I'd have hime starting even when Twigg comes back.

    And, it has to be said, just like in Belgrade Michael O'Neill got his substitutions spot on: Oman with the first goal and Kelly with the second from an O'Donnell shot. And Dan Murray proved his class with some excellent runs into midfield, finding men in space and a crucial block when it was still 0-0. Another league title for the worst defender in the history of football.

    No; 1500 seated and 1500-ish (never tested) standing.

    Thought we played very well; really put it up to Rovers. Given we got utterly hammered out in Dalymount in our last game, it was some turn around. Why can't we be live on telly every week?!

    Ultimately though, just as in previous ties, we tired in the last 20 minutes compared to Rovers, and that cost us (well, that and a fairly soft red card).

    Still, always next year!

    Thought the red headed UCd defender was awesome, no coincindnce that Mccabe played much better when he was moved to the other wing.
    Good game, well done Rovers.

    Hugh Douglas (no 2)? Had an excellent game; that was just his eighth senior game too.

    Thought we played some lovely one-touch stuff at times, but either didn't have the bodies up or didn't have the confidence to keep going once we got to the last 25 yards - too many long-range shots (granted, some of which were decent efforts). Could have really put the cat among the pigeons if we'd been able to play our way through the Rovers defence.

    Aargh! Just 30 seconds more and UCD would have done us a massive favour. That said it was going to be impossible to see Galway drawing.

    As much as it pains me to see a delightfully skilfull UCD play their role in Shams clinching the League, fair play to them they ground out the league.

    Winning ugly is what they have done all season, but ultimately its a results business. Congrats.

    Ya congrats to Shams. Ultimately best team always wins the league and for the majority of the season they were always that little bit ahead of us or if they werent had games in hand or something. Also for all peoples talk about various teams bottle(its been said against both us and Shams)if both teams win as expected on Friday, we will have picked up 23 points from our last 27 and they will have picked up 20 with their only defeat coming against us. Impressive finish from both i would have taught.

  19. Thanks From:

    Sligo shouldn't really have got too many hopes up. UCD drawing would merely have delayed the inevitable for another 3 days, and I wouldn't have been upset with only having drawn tonight. But we'll take our opportunities when we get them.

    Not the greatest performance ever, didn't like the pitch invasions at the end, looks awfully messy on tv, and intrusive for the players/management, but still job done, and next year, we can go for the treble.

    Congrats to Shams, well done especially to Galway man Stephen O'Donnell, deserves his league medal after the sh&te he had to put up with here last season. Same goes for Shep

    Dont think anyone really was, just would have been good to bring it to the final day of the season even if it would have been irrelevant with yous playing Galway. Speaking of the final day, is it the worst in the history of the league??Absolutely nothing to be decided even for irrelevant placings.........


    Waits for egg on face when u.c.d. beat us 7-0 and derry win 5-0 and we finish 3rd

    Congratulations to Shams and commiserations to Rovers on what has been a truly epic season. Hoping though that sligo can keep that team together. You could do worse than take on Nutsy if Paul leaves.
