And so it came to pass. The best team in the country travel to Tallaght knowing victory will confirm their status as Champions. An eleventh title awaits for Dundalk FC which will bring us level with Bohs and just one behind Shels. By the time Stephen Kenny has finished his journey with us we will have overtaken Shamrock Rovers to become the country's most successful ever club.

Most of the league of Ireland family have taken Dundalk to their hearts and I'm guessing they will travel to Tallaght tomorrow evening to witness in the flesh the coronation of the league's finest ever side. Winning the title in Shamrock Rovers back yard will sicken hoops fans to the point where they will probably vomit all over their tracksuits.

21 goal Richie Towell has just been named Player of the Month (again) and thankfully will be on show tomorrow evening after being inexplicably left out of yet another Irish squad.

For all those who can't make it to Tallaght sit back on your most comfortable chair, open a can of your favourite lager, sit back and enjoy the show.

There is something very rotten within the football culture in Ireland if fans cannot sit in the home section without the threat of being ejected.

Darkglasses · 08-10-2015 2:34pm

Slightly fancy Shels to beat us. Even though we'll have another big crowd and we won't want to finish our last home game of the season on a low note, I'm pretty sure it's still party-time for us.

Might happen, but I know for a 100% fact that Shane Keegan is setting up his team to go for the 3 points

I doubt anybody will be ejected unless they are acting the bollox. Rovers issued this statement to minimise traveling support as much as possible

I was ejected from the home end before due to being an away fan.

Ejected from stadium or moved to the away end?

just a tad ironic after telling rte to stop broadcasting their matches as its affecting crowds...

Stadium was trying to move to the away end.

We won 4 nil and I had to watch it from Block A (just bought another ticket), good times :pac:

One half of their fans are all "fcuk dundalk gave us nothing last season in some final " the others are "money is nice"

Basic mathematics too difficult for you?

Tut tut. :pac:

Gavin "shels" · 08-10-2015 11:37pm

Can't see UCD slipping up so us against Wexford means f**k all. Good travelling support going down - missing it myself due to poxy worth and vowed not to drive to another game after Athlone away a few weeks ago!

In Dundalk we believe in fairness and our history books will forever have St Pats as the 2001-02 champions. 15 point deduction Pighead's arse.

A_Sober_Paddy · 09-10-2015 5:11pm

Anyone from galway know if the galway limerick game is on local radio up there?

FFS we beat Finn Harps back in August, then went and lost both games against ye last month to pretty much hand ye the title, the least ye could do to pay us back is beat Shels :pac:

After our first two week break in over 3 months, I'd hope we're a lot less lethargic tonight. No better teams to get a bit of momentum going into the playoffs than Cabo and Waterford. That's assuming that we beat them both.

Usually Galway bay will be covering it but not kick by kick

That_Guy · 09-10-2015 5:58pm

Supposedly there'll be a good few Germans coming to Dalymount tonight. Sure what's a few more long balls in any case?

dfx- · 09-10-2015 6:01pm

That is a very big game in Galway..either side losing would seal their fate really

its fine Limerick's local station is actually covering it live i've just been told

The Shams-Dundalk match has certainly woken up from a dull first half.

user2011 · 09-10-2015 9:02pm

Horgan seriously needs to be pulled here having an absolute mare. Surprised he got out for the second half.

Omackeral · 09-10-2015 9:12pm

Bohemians 2-0 up vs St Pats. Haven't beaten them in the league since 2008/09 or something!

. October 2010 if I remember correctly. Leaves the door for 4th place somewhat ajar for ye.

Captain Havoc · 09-10-2015 9:26pm

At a wedding here. Listening to United and Liverpool fans bicker about history, so painful. I'm not anti premier league.

kksaints · 09-10-2015 9:30pm

Well taken peno by Towell who had done very little in the match until then.

overshoot · 09-10-2015 9:41pm

congrats Dundalk...
and UCD, il see you in 2 weeks

edit: just realised youths/shels kick off was 8... but cant see them scoring 34 so il stick with that!

major bill · 09-10-2015 9:44pm

best team by a mile and fully deserved it, congrats Dundalk

Bohs only team to beat them this season in the league

MD1990 · 09-10-2015 9:45pm

Congrats to Dundalk. Superb team who play very entertaining football. Stephen Kenny has done an amazing job.

kksaints · 09-10-2015 9:48pm

Congrats to Dundalk. Best team by a fair bit this season.

ShamoBuc · 09-10-2015 9:54pm

Clearly the best team in the league won it, congrats.

mada999 · 09-10-2015 9:58pm

come on the town!!

user2011 · 09-10-2015 10:00pm

Dundalk CHAMPIONS OF IRELAND ye know what we are!!!

GLaDOS · 09-10-2015 10:00pm

Nice to beat Pats, bloody ages since the last time. Fair few Germans at the game.

Well done Dundalk, nobody close to them. How many weeks were they top? Most of the season it seems.

B17G · 09-10-2015 10:13pm

C'mon the town..... back to back titles...

dreamers75 · 09-10-2015 10:15pm

Annoyed to be beaten by a team like Bohs.

Season over yet?

Oat23 · 09-10-2015 10:34pm

Results have gone exactly as I have feared the past two weeks. Losing to Galway and then Galway losing to Limerick is a kick in the balls.

If we don't get a win tomorrow I don't see us staying up.

Darkglasses · 09-10-2015 10:38pm

Did not expect such a comfortable win over Shels. Not sure what's happened since we drew away to them last time.

Great to see us lift the trophy tonight, amazing year

Pinturicchio · 09-10-2015 10:40pm

United were useless tonight. Definitely the worst performance of the season. The relegation battle is ridiculously tight now. I really can't call it except that I think Limerick's momentum will keep them up.

howiya · 09-10-2015 10:41pm

Well done Dundalk

That_Guy · 09-10-2015 11:44pm

Bohs were excellent tonight. Pats looked completely disorganised and lost the heads completely. Very dirty team.

Delighted to finally get a win over them. We were due one.

Pat's are gone. Pure seeing the season out. They don't care. We need a shake up for next year.

Also, congratulations to Dundalk. Is there any chance of Pighead whacking up a drunken post at 5am. That should be priceless.

I've got a feeling he may praise that team. :pac::pac:

Your taking the piss and just delighted to win a game yeah? Its only been 5 years?

We dominated the ball with kids and you scored on a counter and well 2nd one debatable, i was far away. My fav Ref moment was when Murphy cleaned out Byrne and we didnt even get a throw, then when he cleaned out Bayly you got a throw

But hey we get someone sent off........

We played the LOI ref game with kids vs an awful bohs team who could barely pass to each other and lost. Im actually annoyed we lost to a team like that.

I dont think Bucko is the man to teach the team to be dirty timewasting ***** like everyone else we play.

I actually wish we were a dirty team...we too ****ing soft.

White Horse · 10-10-2015 12:55am

Tonight was special. Back to back titles, considering seven long long years in the wilderness of the first division.

As football fans we put up with so much. This is our period in the sun.

GLaDOS · 10-10-2015 1:02am

Whether it was dirty play or Pats couldn't be arsed to time a tackle properly, there was constant fouling from the start, saw a red coming a mile away.

Tomagotchye · 10-10-2015 2:55am

This Limerick run is ridiculous. They were all but relegated.

Mushy · 10-10-2015 8:26am

Nervy last few games. Still don't think enough teams below us will catch up...thankfully!

Hammer Archer · 10-10-2015 9:13am

We lack so much creativity without Benson. Doubtful whether he'll be back for the playoff. Can't see us getting anywhere close to Harps the way we're playing.

Congrats to Dundalk. Best team from start to finish. Hope they get a kinder draw in next year's Champions League.

You're one place above Bohs in the league, and have been for most of the season. You seem to have inflated ideas about how good you are - you're going to finish behind a Rovers side that have been a failure under Fenlon and a very average Cork side. You're nothing close to the team you were a couple of seasons ago.
