    Great to see Longford up. Handy nine points for The Bit O'Red next season without much travel )= Saw them for the third time this season tonight and they have been poorer each time. They need at least six players to have a hope of staying up but they should be able to get them if the support they had tonight sticks with them. 2200 at the game but mind you, there was 4500 at the decider with Bray last season. On an unrelated matter, the Shams B 'keeper was probably the worst I have ever seen in League of Ireland football.

    Congratulations to all at Longford, it's been clear they have been the best side in the FD all season. I've never been to their ground, wouldn't mind a trip over next season.

    Ps I'm guessing it might be the first season ever that Longford will play Athlone in the PD if the latter stay up, is that correct?

    Would love to see Galway go up too, great away trip.

    Can't find any odds on relegation but UCD are still in serious trouble, even if Athlone lost tonight.

    Correct, we've never played Athlone in the premier.

    Happy for Longford. Although that extends our closest away trip to either Dublin or Galway now, provided Galway don't get promoted too.

    Was there ****** 4500 at any of our games aside from cup finals in the last twenty years. Weren't great tonight I'll agree, and again I'll agree that we need to strengthen significantly. Still though after 7 years we'll worry about the bigger picture later.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Well done, Longford.
    Meanwhile, at the Cross: Can't believe Gavin Brennan was sent off AGAIN!

    We were so bad last night. Worst performance all season by a country mile. Don't know what happen to our defence. Its been solid the last few months. We are still not gone but its very unlikely now. All UCD need to do is get one win and we are gone.

    in our first season in loi in 84-85 season we met Athlone Town when the division was all the one!
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    I live Rico, but any manager in the world would have lost the plot at that tackle, Rico himself included.

    Gavin Brennan is a very talented player, but his 4 red cards so far this season tells its own story.

    In a family of footballing nutcases he is the king of the clann
