Congratulations UCD on winning the first division. Less said about our game the better, a complete horror show. Thank god I'm in Krakow next week so will miss the dundalk game.
Whatever about having no fans, etc, UCD have always been a great addition in how they play football with decent young players. Other clubs could learn a lesson from them in that regard.Originally Posted by oriel
Missed our match lastnight but delighted with the result. I think it’d be a shame for our lads not to go up. While not at level as UCD, I’ve been delighted in how weve attempted to play the right way, with some good young players. Our squad isn’t the strongest but would like to see some of our young lads get another crack at the premier league (and some of them might if we don’t go up :-(
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
This was different - the interviewer even raised the same point to him - have a listen on their podcast. Anyhow just my view - congrats on your playoff spot - you were looking shakey early in the season but pulled through.
Drogheda United in this together
Congratulations to UCD. Well-deserved.
Congrats PS. Always enjoyed going to Belfield. Nice ground. Great to see the stand full.
Best 1st 45 I’ve seen in Dalyer for years. Don’t ever remember a Bohs side getting a standing ovation coming off at HT. Cork had a horror show in defense and couldn’t cope with the pace of Kelly.
That is football, highs and lows.
I kept reading about Cork not playing well, but still winning. That rarely lasts over a season, league winners need to be playing well for most of the season.
I think this season illustrates Caulfield's deficiencies as a manager. Success in LOI terms means losing players and having to replace them. Good managers have a firm idea of the playing style of their team and recruit players that fit into that style. I don't see that with Caulfield, did he have any plan to integrate Sadlier and McNamee?
It looks like Cork will have to rebuild and will have to decide whether Caulfield has the ability to do this.
How Sheppard stayed on the pitch is a miracle. He was even starting to walk off the pitch himself, then the ref only gave him a yellow!?!
Gutted with our result. 1-0 up and on top we allowed drogs creep back into the game then they score off a free kick that shouldn’t have been but that’s the story of our season. Second half we had 2 glorious chances to win it and didn’t take them then we leave ourselves totally open and concede from our own set piece. Last action was our keeper coming up and skimming the post with a header. It was in our hands, it’s gone now. Unbelievable crowd up from Longford
When you consider some of the players contracted for next season, the scale of the rebuilding job becomes apparent. There is a lot of deadwood in that list. With the likelihood of a reduced playing budget, it is a huge job for anyone to undertake - Caulfied may be part of the problem, rather than part of the solution

Very unfamiliar UCD love-in here the last fortnight! Premier absence must make the heart grow fonder. I trust next season will be back to the usual complaints about no atmosphere and cold temperature.
I look forward to the UCD fans joining the growing boycott of Oriel ParkVery unfamiliar UCD love-in here the last fortnight! Premier absence must make the heart grow fonder. I trust next season will be back to the usual complaints about no atmosphere and cold temperature.
Fair play to UCD - winning a league is always difficult, winning with young, developing players especially so
Was a very tough game to ref because it was so physical but the ref didn't get a handle on it at all. Foul after foul after foul after foul went unpunished. Don't think he was biased, just bad
Easy win for Rovers against an utterly woejus Limerick side.
There's definitely a few levels within the premier league, and Limerick & Bray are definitely in a league of their own.
Congrats to the students ( *bag o ****e!).
I look forward to walking to a game next season.
* For all you paul calf fans .
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
Congrats to UCD, watched the highlights of the Waterford game and they outplayed those overpaid spoofers from the Suir.Wouldnt be surprised if they beat Dundalk.What a nightmare for the FAI that would be !
Wasn't any worse than Penders tackle from behind on Sheppard & he only got a yellow as well.
Great first half display from Bohs. Really played some lovely stuff at times.
Did the same in Cork earlier on in the season & were very unlucky then not to go away with something from the game.
If Bohs can keep hold of their players & build on it they will be a fine side.
Some very exciting young talent there.
massive congrats to UCD on their success. long overdue.
as for us mcglade hasnt being the same player since before the cork cup match. I strongly suspect hes off at the end of the season. ref yet again awful. the free that drogs scored from that wall was 15 yards back instead of 10 yards as per norm. We have being too inconsistent this season. The injuries that were building up week by week didnt help matters to say the least.
I have a feeling that Bohs will beat Derry next week and will beat Cork in the FAI Cup. I think they are a sneaky bet for the FAI Cup!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
11/1 to win the cup. That's not attractive enough odds, considering Bohs have to overcome Derry (away) and Cork (home) before beating either Dundalk or UCD in the final to collect the bet
BUT,BUT,....sure according to all and sundry who think they matter down here Tommy is doing a great job after being handed a turkey at seasons start and the whole squad are going through a brick wall etc,etc.
Two observations from last night.
The First Division medals are crap. Probably cost €2 each. The FAI outdoing themselves once again.
The First Division trophy is 6 years old, and it's in bits. It's bent at the neck, the base is loose and the band lifts off.
Tis a great aul league we have...
