Great to see the Town win hopefully ye will stay up now as well. Alan Matthews walks on Water id say lads.

Great game! Couldnt make the game, had to make do with watching it in a London 'Irish' pub with no commentary cos Arsenal v Liverpool on. But delighted, it'll be the icing on the cake if we stay up! I'd actually rather stay up rather than Europe. But happy days!

Delighted UCD didnt make the final, fair play to Longford.
Well at least Longford will bring a support to the Cup Final.
They'll probably win it at this stage,although they've had an extremely easy ride all the way to the Final.

Well done to Longford.
I don't mean to rain on the parade but why is everyone backing Matthews for manager of the year?
The 6 point gap is one thing (which they haven't recovered yet) and the cup final is the only other thing I can think of. They seem to be playing well at the moment but why couldn't Matthews get that out of them earlier on in the season?

Such a great feeling, fair play to the lads. Not the prettiest of games but I'll take it!!
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
Congratulations to Longford. Ground out the result, showed good character and experience and resolute defending. Well taken goal by Martin.
So with Cork looking good for 2nd place in the league, if they win does the UEFA Cup spot go to 3rd place in the League; or will we have a Division One side in Longford playing in Europe next season? Last time that happened (Dundalk) it was embarrassing.
It would go to third in the league, which would then push the intertoto spot down to fourth.
There is no way he should get manager of the year. I hate saying but it would be farcical if he were to get it, and devalue all other previous selections.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Theres a prize for bringing the most fans you know
Cork are 5 points off second place with two games left. Pats (or Bohs)will get second and UEFA. Cup winners will get UEFA and third (or fourth) depending on where Cork finish will get the intertoto.So with Cork looking good for 2nd place in the league, if they win does the UEFA Cup spot go to 3rd place in the League;
The UEFA spot for the cup is a higher value than the league spot and stays with the cup. The only way the cup losers go into the UEFA is if the winners are in the CL. In 2005 the Drogs were in the UEFA cup before the cup final either way as Cork were in the CL.

No way should Matthews get Manager of the year.
Gill at Dundalk would have a better shout for it......
1. Scully
2. Henderson
3. Hegarty or Mathews
So basically, if Longford fail to beat Cork in the final then they can't get into Europe next season yes?
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Scully certainly shouldn't get manager of the year under any circumstances.
Finn Harps or Cobh's season merits their managers more credit than most I'd hazard a guess.
Longford should be thankful for Sammon playing upfront today for their win. Good goal though.

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.
There is no actual award for manager of the year though???
Matthews is looking at being relegated. Scully is looking at blowing 2nd and finishing 5th. McDonnell loooks like second but the Pats fans want him out. Connor won nothing and looks like third. Rico may get the cup but he's brought Cork from champions to 4th / 5th in 2 seasons. Gill had the biggest budget in the first division but came third and a long way back.
Only one manager has managed to win two trophies and they are both the most valuable.Like him or not but Doolin has delivered this year.

Agree Celdrog, at the end of the season only one manager has delivered the Premier Division title to their club adding to the Setanta Cup earlier in the season.
Scully was in with a shout but the last few games have been a disaster and they won't even qualify for Europe now.
Matthews has done exceptionally well in the second half of the season but on the field only 2 teams have picked up fewer points than them.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
That's what everyone said about Pats last season!!! Cork to get second in the league and Drogheda to "do a Shelbourne"? What odds?
Apparantly this guy doesn't realise that Longford staying up could mean his own club going down. Love all the UCD naysayers congratulating a team for playing some of the worst football I've seen all year (and I've been to watch Limerick, Wexford, Kilkenny, Kildare and Cobh in that time)Great to see the Town win hopefully ye will stay up now as well. Alan Matthews walks on Water id say lads.Then again obsessions are hard to come by, and even harder to let go of
