I'm genuinely delighted for Paul Cook. As he said in his interview, they were very gracious in defeat last year so they deserve this win.

The FAI could do with some as well.

Basq

I'll tell you something..

.. anyone who went got their moneys worth for €10.. and then some!

Great atmosphere!

dreamers75

Think a Celtic keeper did it saved 8 or so in a row, others teams keeper saved 7 in same match think it ended 2-1 after 12 or 13 penos.

Sligo assistant has a nice claim there

That's Dermot Brannigan, their PRO.

Got an almighty wallop with the lid of the cup.... god bless Sky+ and the rewind function. That's seriously in need of an animated gif!

I for one would find it much easier to kick a ball whilst wearing boxers than I would if I had jeans on, tbh.


Soccer forum has hit a new low.:pac:

Fair play to Sligo. Well deserved IMO.

BornToRun88

Super Sligo Rovers!

ShamoBuc

It's safe to say the better team won. After last year, I am delighted for the Rovers -from sligo!

I played Junior soccer with him at Castlebar Celtic and in one match he scored a hat-trick of penalties.

Paparazzo

Well done Sligo. Was a great game considering it was 0-0. Most of the neutrals were up for Sligo. Tenner very well spent

TangyZizzle

Just home from Lansdowne, beautiful stadium. I was on the South Upper surrounded by Sligo heads, Godbless them, Ill never be able to take a person from the West seriously so long as they have that accent.

Sligo won, deservedly in my opinion. Well done!

Absolutely superb attendance. so happy for irish football right now. The fact that more people turn up for our national final over the visit of the rugby world cup champions is huge. Delighted to be honest. Today is a great day for the people who support local football.

Dolph Starbeam

Just back home from the game now, it was a good day considering there was a lot less goals than we were hoping for, Sligo deserved there win, Ndo is some player to watch.

Gavin "shels"

Sligo play some quality football! Well worth a tenner. As for the shootout, that was even worse than the last penalty shootout I was at up in Derry a few years back for the League Cup Final.

I preferred the bit where Rovers win everything...:cool:

Poor game, not helped by Rovers or the referee. Not impressed too much by the Aviva - more style than substance.

Derry keeper saved all pens in a shout out V Shels in the League cup final a couple of seasons ago

That's not a major cup final though in all fairness.

Fair play to Sligs, they were the better team overall. Was very disappointed with the decisions for the penalties. Bradley being a pillock and getting a stupid second yellow cost us two penalty takers as Baker was pulled in to readjust the side.

Great game, great crowd great atmosphere. The fact that more showed up than the two previous rugby tests and possibly the Norway game says a great deal about the direction the LoI is headed. Its no coincidence that two of the more community oriented sides were there today.

Great day out, shame about the result.

Come on, it was a belter of a game. Chances at both ends, some great individual performances.

Fair play to Sligo, can't argue with the result - the best team on the day won it. I thought we looked very tired.

Rovers and Sligo has been a one-sided rivalry for the last couple of years but that might be changing soon, I can us and the Sligs fighting it out for top honours for a while now. Still good to see real football fans showing the IRFU and FAI how a proper atmosphere should be.

Fantastic. Over the moon. Very impressed by the new Lansdowne Rd, and must say, for all the bad we say about the FAI, hats of to you today, you got it right, 36000 attendence. Hopefully today was a great advert for LOI and hopefully as well aload of new fans have been got.

There were good patches to it alright, Rovers lacked time on the ball and Sligo desperately lacked a cutting edge to their play. Both teams best chances I think came from set-pieces.

UnitedIrishman

Very good advertisement for the game and the €10 entrance fee was genius by the FAI.

Glad to see Sligo win it and a Mayo man play a big part in it. Talking to lads that played with Kelly a few years ago, they reckoned he was the most professional player they'd ever played alongside - apparently he was giving the team talks and doing the coaching sessions when he was playing for Mayo in Oscar Traynor/U20's.

Credit to Sligo and Paul Cook.

Players weren't phased by the occasion and they played the brand of football that has won them so many admirers this season.

Great support for both sides and showed how good the stadium will be for the big games in years to come.
