Not a soccer fan at all but such a great result especially the keeper. It would have been a shame to lose it after how well they played. Great for Sligo.

Sligo has a new supersaver..

Gavin "shels"

Fairplay to you lot from a Shels fan, was at the final in Tallaght last year and yous didn't deserve to lose, was there in Lansdowne today and yous should have had the game dead and buried after the first half. First time I've seen Sligo play at all this season and they're some team with some lovely play.

Congrats!

Am just back from the match. Awesome awesome awesome. What an absolute master stroke from Ciaran Kelly, a wonderfull string of saves, 4 out of 4.

Sligo Rovers, Champions!!!

Buford T Justice

Was a great game. Sligo had them well bet all through the match, and it would have been such a shame had we have lost that on Penaltys

Hats of to Kelly for some fantastic saves.

Buford T Justice

Just back in Sligo now.

What a day!!! Was nervous when it went to penalties but taught we had the advantage when we got to shoot into our own fans but didnt think Kelly would end us saving every peno.

Was some craic in the D4 hotel when the tean landed

Might head along to the homecoming tonight

Oh ya my predication att he start of the year on the prediction thread was Rovers to finish third and win the cup:)

The save the won it

Just watching the homecoming on the news now....don't think I've ever wanted to be in Sligo more....damn you work!

G'wan the bit o'red...days like yesterday make all the cold miserable wet evenings, the horrible losses, and all the previous heartbreak all worthwhile....na na na na...heyeyey Sligo Rovers!:D

Ha Ha, I'd say it was a good night alright. I was in Fiddlers for a while, was some craic in there.

The town hall presentation was good, just a pity about the sound was hard to hear some of the speakers.

Was worried the stage was gonna collapse when they all started jumping up and down on it:)

Gipo3

Wasnt it a disgrace with the politicians running to the front of the stage like children last night. All these people have just held Sligo up for years like the eastern bridge etc. Why couldnt they stay back so the players and management could celebrate together.
