Well i was there meself, and i wasnt planning on going, so that was an extra 1 anyway!

heartiest congrats to Drogs, a well organised unit, with hunger and desire. them and their crowd seemed to get the whole "cup final" spirit which was all too lacking in those in green & white, both on the pitch and in the stand.

If Mick Cooke doesnt win Manager of the Year ,it will be an absolute farce.

The Rovers teamsheet was enough to see where the problems lie. We need the chancer Glass and the kenny signings to leave at once.
they dont belong at Rovers.

Baraclough should get manager of the year when we win the league although he was fortunate in that he didn't have the fans turn on him as soon as we went through a sticky patch and always had the backing of the board.

Huh ? You being serious ? What sticky patch ? One defeat all season, led the league more or less from the gun. Any fans who would turn on a manager in those circumstances, ...well.

Oh and the league isn't quite over yet. You should win it at this stage, but stranger things have happened. Pats win on Tuesday and we're six behind and still to play Sligo. I think realistically we've too much to do, but..........

I am disgusted to hear that.

I think Cook has done an amazing job at Drogs. Got in decent, hard working and not very big name players, look what he did with it. To win one of the 3 main trophies and to be in with a chance of Europe going into the last month is unreal. So fair play to him, and the young side he created.

We'll do our best for a 'Louth Cup Double', but I wouldnt hold out much hope, winning the other cup final of the play off would keep me happy.

What. He's been a class act this season and probably the most professional manager we have ever had. He has given us no reason on or off the pitch to 'turn on him'.
