Who is the commentator for the Bohs Harps game? He’s doing a good job.
Staying up!
18*-25
Tough on Cork to be relegated after the interrupted mini season we've had. Would they have been relegated over a full season? Hard to say.
Hopefully, next season will be proper one.
Some result for Harps well done.
Congrats to Rovers on the title, some real nice football this season.
Hard luck to Bohs but you had a great season and did better than I think most thought you would this season.
Hard luck Cork but I expect you to come straight back up.

📆 On this day, 24th October 1965, Shamrock Rovers issued a heavy defeat to St. Pat's in the second last game of the League of Ireland Shield campaign. The empathic 9-1 win at Milltown saw the Hoops effectively retain the title, their 17th success in this competition.
Champions again. Well deserved.
The only possible downers to it is we can't celebrate together as fans with the team, and also lose out on the chance to see us go unbeaten in a full season as we are considerably better than anyone else in the league, this year.
The players deserve enormous credit but special credit to Bradley for sticking with his plan, and also special mention to the board for sticking with Bradley.
As fans we all saw that the croly and nutsy eras were a mess, with vermin like the brennans besmirching the green and white with their poisonous attitude. Bradley took a year to hose down the scum in the dressing room and clear out the bloated, journeymen that nutsy loved.
We now have a finely balanced squad, hungry for success and pushing each other on.
We should have the pick of any players moving next season, but they will need the right attitude to fit in with what's already there.
A Double would be nice to finish things off, but securing Champions League for next season has sated even my appetite!

Terrible manners sir. Calling players scum. Where did you learn that? I have this picture of you in my head just based on that comment. If you don't have anything nice to say then say nothing..
Great time to grab a first win in Dalymount in 22 years! Rode our luck at times and our keeper had a stormer but a cracking result! Wednesdays game against Pats is huge now and if we could win we could stay up without a play off!
Commiserations to Cork and congratulations to Rovers as well.
Well done to Rovers, who might well prove to be the saving force behind Ireland's future international players with their underage set up.
As to Cork, bad bad blow, but I hope they like all the other clubs in the league ride out this crisis.
Still a lot to play for in European terms. Hope games go ahead without any more blips.
Avoiding a play-off altogether became an outside possibility with that result tonight.
Beat Pats on Wednesday and we're two points behind Shels, Pats and Derry with two games to play. Interesting final stretch ahead!

It just shows. No one has a god given right to win football matches. You must earn the right. This stings. But we'll be back.
Well done to Rovers' fans on here.
I enjoyed that. Harps played like a team who shouldn't be anywhere near the relegation fight... except for the fella who karate kicked the Bohs player at 2-0 up. Cork will batter the FD next season so not all lost for them.
That's the problem, with the squad we have, we shouldn't be anywhere near it. Couple of really silly results has us down where we are. Fine margins in this league and another win or two and we'd have been looking at pushing for Europe, not trying to get out of the playoff.

Harps were decent anytime I seen them. Difference is, one bad result matters a whole lot more than in a normal season. 2 games is over 10 percent of the league campaign. Over a 30 game season could easily see Harps above Shels (who have battled hard, but lacked quality ( in my watchLOI. small time opnion).
Rovers deserve winners, Cork by far the worst team on the pitch. Shame about Cork, great city, great fan base. Can't think of the last time a major team got relegated on the pitch (does Shels count?).
OMG, bad enough calling players scum but now naming people too.
Shame on you.
I can’t argue with that. Most of our problems originate with decisions made away from the pitch. Also, if we had taken the Fenn decision earlier we’d have given ourselves a fighting chance. We didn’t deserve to lose last night and were more than value for the win against Waterford but only got a draw. So at the end there was an element of bad luck, but the damage had already been done. Well done to Harps also, they’re more than justified in avoiding the automatic drop IMO.
