2-1 win in Waterford, with two late goals from Trevor Vaughan after Waterford went 1-0 up.
That's put the cat among the pigeons for the FAI's new Super-Duper league next season...

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
good lets make it diffucult for the F.A.I
Is that good or bad for UCD?
Was that UCD legend Ciarán Kavanagh who scored or has he retired?
I think Reynolds and McCarthy were already on their holidays before this game.
Congrats to Dundalk.
I said it to one Dundalk wan - who was insisting they should go up - coming home from Cobh last week that I can see Dundalk beating Waterford and it throwing a spanner in the works..
Insisting on a play-off makes it difficult for themselves at the FAI..

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
I didnt go tonight, but even with the late goals, i am not one bit surprised. What did surprise though was the standard of waterford on wed night in oriel, fitness, skill, running off the ball, overall shape and tactics were not anything near what i expected of a premier lge team.
What does it all mean. A hard decision for the fai hopefully.....................
A massive well done to the dundalk team and supporters for a great 2006, they`ve done their bit.
This has very little bearing on what will happen for next year. When the 50% for football is added up it moves Dundalk into 15th place overall with a fair gap to Harps in 13th, and a massive one to the likes of Bray, Waterford and Sligo.

Time will tell the significance of this result.For the leagues sake i hope Waterford are reinstated.Dundalk will gain a few points through winning the tie ,however due to the complex points structure it is hard to tell who will benefit.The league needs more provincial teams and less teams from Dublin and it's hinterland(Dundalk,Drogs,Athlone) to be popular national league.
Now, this is the sort of drivel that has the league in the position it faces at the moment. What the league need is strong teams capable of providing an entertaining and competitive Premier Division. With the greatest of respect to Waterford, their points tally this year was one of the worst ever - they didn't even catch Dublin City, who went broke five months ago - and Dundalk, who have baeten them fair and square - are evidently the better team and the ones who deserve to be in the Premier. Waterford, I've no doubt, would (all hypothetically) go down, regroup and be able to come back stronger than ever in the next couple of seasons. It helps neither the league nor Waterford themselves to have clubs being so outclassed in the Premier, and to say that Waterford's geographical location means they would bring more to the Premier ahead of a side who's just proven themselves better is utter nonsense.
Not our fault country clubs squandered money in the past and are now Divison 1 or arent up to it on the pitch
Theres a prize for bringing the most fans you know
Just on that id like to point out that due to us never owning our own ground or ever having any major debts, Limerick FC/City/United or AFC have ever recieved any monies by way of grants, loans or other.In short we've never recieved any monies to squander in the first place.Not our fault country clubs squandered money in the past and are now Divison 1 or arent up to it on the pitch
I note your retort pineapple ,but the main point im trying to get across is that a league whose majority of teams are located in the Dublin and Leinster will generate very litte excitement for a Limerickman or Tribesman for example.I cant deny the fact mine is a simplistic view and the establishment of a football club is financially draining and geographic location can not guarantee a clubs league position.
I too would love to see the country teams stronger, but it's up to them to do that. The clubs aren't strong, and that's up to them to change. Back in the real world, Dundalk would be a better addition to the Premier to Waterford (again, with respect to Waterford), and you can't justify refusing them a place in the Premier on the basis that yuo'd like country teams to be stronger one day, and maybe by giving them a helping hand, they'll get there.
Lads sorry to break the bubble about this game suddenly changing everything about next season. The reality is the result tonight does not matter a jot. Waterford United will be a Premier Division side next year FACT!!. Do we deserve to be a prem side, on this years performances obviously not but the reality is that the IAG group are looking at the clubs over 5 years performance and prospects for the future.
Premier League season 2007 should read as follows
Shels, Bohs, Cork, Drogheda, Waterford, Longford, St Pats. Shamrock Rovers, Galway United, Derry City, Sligo Rovers,
Final Place a toss up between
UCD, Bray, and Dundalk
My opinion is the final place should go to DUNDALK as we already have four Dub clubs and one peripheral dub club in Drogheda, league cannot have Bray or UCD because then almost half the league is based in Dublin!! Ucd are well organised etc, but reality they have no supporters and the future league has to see growth in attendances for it to succeed!!
Good man teckno. Back to this old chestnut again. Naturally, clubs going broke every other month is far better for the league than a small, well-run club.
I know Dublin is becoming mega city 1 but Athlone? hinterland? its half way to Galway.
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
Back on topic - 11 minutes of injury time, according to the Waterford website! 4 minutes had been signalled, and in that time, Dundalk had a player stretchered off, which delayed things for six minutes!
It just shows that the top three in the First Division are probably as good as anyone outside of the top four of the Premier. Not that it's anything to shout about . . .
No it doesn't. The worst two teams I've ever seen in the premier have been Bray andWaterford this year. Its disgraceful that they won't be relegated tbh

Last time I looked, Dundalk, Drogheda, and Athlone, like Waterford, were not from Dublin and never were either. Not even Bray are from Dublin.
There are 5 teams from Dublin in the league, and 4 are going in, with one club in the first division. Everyone knows which ones at this stage.
As for Kilkenny, Kildare, and Monaghan, they should be demoted to the A league.
