    Longford Town

    Congrats on winning the first division. I have a feeling you'll do grand in the top flight.

    Thanks folks. Celebrations were good. I'd be hopeful we can hold our own anyway knowing those in charge. We'll need to strengthen though without doubt but that's something to think about in the off season!

    I wasn't old enough to properly celebrate our last promotions or the cup wins, so last night was just wonderful.

    Congrats to Longford, will be great to head back down there. Interesting times ahead, do you think Cousins will be kept on? I know there is much debate over his abilities, he has finally stumbled over the line just like John Gill did with us and we know what happened there.

    I can't see him being let go. Tony can say we won the league with a game to spare. We have a 6 point lead, with the best attacking and defensive record in the league.
    Even thou there's plenty of reservations, we have the track record of giving him the benefit of the doubt and now that we made it, I have no doubt he'll get a new contract and be backed financially to bring in a few more bodies.

    Yeah I don't think there's any doubt he'll be kept on and to be honest he deserves his shot at the Premier Division now. We've all questioned him at various stages especially last season but he's done his job well this year. The players all seem to really like him and he has a very good relationship with the chairman and committee.

    Fair play to Tony and the lads they did it in the end, I think a certain mr Graham Lawlor was a hugh help, coached the 1st division winners 2 seasons in a row can't be a coincidense

    I've never been to Finn Park, so heading up as well, may as well pay a visit before I never get a chance to again!

    Congrats to Longford. An especial word of recognition for those among the Longford ranks who showed patience and faith in TC. You both know who you are.

    Congrats to all at Longford with a special mention to Tony who I always found to be a football man through and through and my great Buddy Donal Keogh who has been a constant from the very start. Hopefully we get up in the playoffs we owe ye a few beatings

    What an amazing weekend, celebrations only ended today until harps away anyway. I was one of Tony's most outspoken critics but no one could say he doesn't deserve his chance in the premier now as he is the leagues longest serving manager in both divisions. I think if we start to get cut adrift next season the pressure on him will be huge as the money and exposure to the clubs and its investors is so important but I think we've a squad well capable of staying up comfortably with a few additions.

    At least half a dozen needed, when you really think about it we need to get rid of at least 4, plus a couple I believe will hang up thier boots

    I think Bennion is retiring not sure about anyone else. But yeah I would think we'd need four or five in at least. We'll need a bigger squad anyway with more games next year.

    I wonder will Tom Morris be hanging around or will he be looking for a move back to England. We need a couple of wingers, keeper, centre back and a striker.
