If you are not heading to Dublin tomorrow then I would appreciate your company tomorrow from 2pm on Drive 105 for full match coverage with Stephen McClelland. Pre-match we have interviews with Felix Healy, Ruaidhri Higgins, Ryan Brennan, Brian Maher and Adam Foley.

Thank you to everyone who listened/watched our coverage this week.

This has been my favorite game of the season so far.

It’s so pleasant knowing this is the end.

The Higgins train wreck is finally over.

Thank God.

That should put any debate to bed even for the Higgins fan club members.

Utter disaster.

On a separate note thought Drogheda were excellent.

They deserved it, fought for it and made a great spectacle.

Good luck to them.

He has sent a few decent players away from the club.

Now his parting gift is another brutal performance, and the knowledge that Maher, Whelan and O'Reilly are going too.

Richest club in the country with the worst manager in the league.

Weak management from top to bottom. Clearly the time to act was in the summer. Too many people tiptoeing around him. Everything about this season was predictable. That’s the bit I find toughest to accept.

It's sad 25 thousand going home after watching that brock ,no europe next year he has to go and the board must look at themselves as well they have to take a lot of the blame. Time now to move on and start from scratch, it's going to be a big job for the new manager

"Best young manager in the league ", they keep telling us.

Where are the Higgins fans boys now, to tell us we nearly won the double.

An absolute disaster of a season. He cost us hundreds of thousands this season, and maybe even more next season with no free cash from Uefa.

If he's there next season, I won't be. And I'm sure many others won't be. I ain't paying to watch any more of that. Even when we were at the business end of the league, we were terrible entertainment.

Didn't turn up today. Sideways pass, pass out wide, try and cross, drogheda player heads the ball away, rinse and repeat 100 times.

Realistically should have been gone after the magpies result. We threw away the easiest title in years and performances and results have been poor for months.

Another rebuild job next year for whoever comes in. Could see at least half our team going.

The board are equally as clueless as Higgins.

Drogheda created more with their long throws than we did all match. When we had the chance for a long throw into the box it ended up back with Connelly and then Maher. Higgins ball at it’s finest. :lol:
