League of Ireland

[From the Bunker]

Squeaky bum time for Shelbourne.
A few weeks ago Duff would have taken being in this situation, given their collapse.

On the other side Shamrock Rovers can only take care of their own business and hope for favours.

Shels' form going into this is better than Derry's.

[Sheedy]

The bookies have Shamrock Rvs favourites to win the league at 4/6, Shelbourne 11/10. Shelbourne need to win as Rovers have the better goal difference, could be a nervy night

[Truthsayer]

Has to be Shels. Derry have nothing to play for and one eye on the cup final. Shels would probly win even if Derry was chasing the league as their league form has been rubbish.

[Gael85]

Wonder what odds would get Rovers for 10 in a row? Won't be as poor next year. Shels haven't won in Derry in years and Waterford lads on winter holidays weeks ago.

[Sheedy]

Scrappy win on the night for Shelbourne, they'll not care, delighted for Duffer, deserved winners

[From the Bunker]

Well done to Shels and Damien Duff!

Shels just did enough.

[Truthsayer]

Whether they win the cup or not, Higgins should be shown the door. Shambles of a league campaign, the title was there for the taking.

There were a lot of meltdowns this season.
Shels made hard work of winning the title from a very comfortable position.

You'd fit right in at the Brandywell!

[Gael85]

Well done Shels. Didn't make it easy.

Just home from it... hoped to see Duff sent packing!

[Turf]

Delighted for Duff, seems like a genuine fella.

[Truthsayer]

Find it hard to warm to Duff, always complaining and begrudging. And never forgave him for comments about GAA being 'f***ing dinasaurs'. A lazy disrespectful comment. Was time soccer wanted Páirc Uí Chaoimh for Liam Miller tribute game.. which they got.
 Probably has no idea of what the GAA brings to communities while I've never seen local soccer clubs out selling tickets and helping themselves or putting on community events other than matches.
Loved him as a player for Ireland though.

Liam Miller played with Duff so the F***ing Dinosaurs comment was understandable (if possibly erratic) considering the emotion of the occasion and the dragging out of the saga the GAA did.

It all ended up well in the end with the GAA reading the room and coming out well in the circumstances.

The GAA have been slow to move with the times in many circumstances and this is not always a negative.
Sometimes it's no harm not to change for some fad or short term agenda.
