Finn harps....what a season

**harpsman2000** · 02/10/2007, 6:40 PM

long way to go yet

but what a turn around harps have achieved.........one stage we were 18 points from the top sitting 2nd bottom

now this week we are sitting top by a point

drogheda will probally be the success story of the eircom league this year

but i think if harps win the league it would out do that achievement

Paul Hegarty is a legend

Rovers will imo.

While i agree with your points surely the legend shouldnt have had such a talented squad in that position in the first place

Saying that its a great comeback

Don't agree.
Rovers incredible run and Drogheda's first title will far outweigh Harps winning the 1st Divison.
Good comeback and good to see crowds finally returning to ballybofey for the 1st time in about 3 years.

I hope Higgsy gets Harps up this season as he is a legend IMO. The hardest working, committed and driven man in football management in this country by miles. The Derry board should be ashamed of themselves by their lack of respect towards Paul last season. He's had a very tough time off the pitch this year too in which he missed a few games. Ably assisted by the most laid back man in football too!

What about our run of 27 unbeaten. Na?

If ye win the title itl be impressive. If ye dont it'l be a waste. You can be unbeaten in every game and finish on 36 points....not gonna win anything though

**Sam_Heggy** · 02/10/2007, 9:41 PM

Higsy has done a great job BUT, the club set the budjet with being in this position in mind at the end of the season. yes I know Athlone and Dundalk done the same but we did expect to be here at this stage in the season.
Now Scully, as much as it pains me to say, has done a remarkable job, whether they hold out for 2nd or finish 3rd, either way its a massive achievment for a team just promoted and really haven't spent a fortune either. Imo they would have set out at the start of the season just hoping to stay up. This is why this is the story of this season.
Drogs winning their 1st league title is no surprize in all honesty, with the money spent and players brought in, it would have been more of a shock had they not won the league.

Im sure Keeley has done other things this season.

**Mr A** · 03/10/2007, 7:56 AM

Too early to be carried away yet in all fairness. Great run we've had but we needed it because our start was so dreadful. We can judge things after the last league match- until then don't be jinxing it!

**Lim till i die** · 03/10/2007, 9:17 AM

Our turnarounds in the past two seasons have been every bit as spectacular

Just the otherway round is all

Dont know why it pains you to commment about Scully. Anyway not bothered who wins the first as long as its not dundalk. But wouldnt write them off yet. From a selfish point of view we always love the trip to Harps but since they stupidly put back their games to friday night my preference would be Cobh coming up as they play saturday nights.

hope harps come up and waterford go down, a trip up Bundoran way is always nicer than a 5 hour trip through carlow!

**Magicme** · 03/10/2007, 10:43 AM

I want Cobh to go up and Longford to come down & Waterford to stay where they are purely for the logistics of it.

**harpstilidie** · 03/10/2007, 10:53 AM

Scully has done a terrific job at Shamrock Rovers and is my manager of the season in the premier. No surprise about drogheda imo. But what harps have done this season has been incredible. The run has been incredible and it would be interesting to see if any team has actually has topped it over the years.

**Conor H** · 03/10/2007, 10:54 AM

How many have ye won in a row?

**Mr A** · 03/10/2007, 10:55 AM

Four

**Rams-07** · 03/10/2007, 12:00 PM

Must say Finn Harps deserve all the credit they are getting.But with the wages that they are paying they would expect to be up there at this time.I heard that one player is on 1500e per week which is crazy money for 1st division.When you consider that Cobh Ramblers Total wage bill is 2500e per week I think Hendo deserves a lot of credit for what he has done.

**Mr A** · 03/10/2007, 12:21 PM

100% not true- you've been misinformed there. I would be surprised if our top earner was making a third of that to be honest. Our total wage bill is probably in the region of 6-7k per week, which is a fair bit, but not totally insane either.

Correct, on all levels my man. But i could go into the start of the season and no money no team and all that to try win over a few fans but i wont, or did i just

. But Scully and Rovers the success story for me. Closely followed by us.

Ya but after a chat with few of your fans we found out yere budget is 4 times our one. Suspensions are killing us at the moment, **** refereeing has destroyed us especially in harps last wek. Hes a costly ****er that fella
